Re: his reference to Nike Sphere, it's actually pretty old Nike tech. Was used in the heel liner and tongue of the AZG. Cool little callback to the first shoe in the line.

Psychic Energy back up on NDC - full size run except for 14.0. https://www.nike.com/t/air-jordan-xxxvi-psychic-energy-basketball-shoes-1D0pp7/CZ2650-100

🔥🔥🔥 My daughter just made the highest honor roll for the first quarter of the school year, and for her reward we’re getting her a new pair of cleats for season. She loved these when I showed them to her - I really hope they hit NDC this week in big kid’s academy!

Same here, and agreed. Can’t wait to play in them. And while I thought the clear outsole would be a downer, this colorway looks absolutely phenomenal in person. It really feels like a 21st century interpretation of something MJ wore in a Bulls uniform.

Damn it. Those look so clean with the solid white outsole. Wish the US release was like that.

Man, if those psychic energies only had a solid white midsole they'd be perfect.

In my case, opportunity cost. I buy my hoops shoes strictly for hoops, and I was eyeing a specific color of the KD14 that's currently "low stock" on NDC as a fallback in case I didn't like the fit of the AJ36. So I wanted to confirm ASAP whether the AJ36 would fit me, so that if they didn't I...

Bringing this back to the actual shoes … Got my first lights in the mail today and tried them on. Really, really excited for these. Those like me whose arches suffered with the flight plate in the 34s and 35s will be relieved here. And while the forefoot is narrow, I didn’t feel pronounced...

Very true. In hindsight the marketing campaign reminds me a lot of the Camp Flight/Camp Force “what camp are you in” ads from the late 90’s. Some funny ads still around on YouTube if anyone’s interested.

Looks like I touched off a powder keg here. For what it’s worth, I wasn’t suggesting that Luka merits flagship treatment right now - I didn’t, and am not, taking either side on that argument. I was simply using his name as an example. The point I was trying to make is that JB’s sig shoes have...

I’ve always felt like JB is in a delicate position with its sig shoes. The Air Jordan is the flagship and most expensive shoe in the portfolio, and with a few exceptions is designed to be the apex on-court performance shoe. This portfolio hierarchy and need for market segmentation then leads to...

Pulled from NDC, but I was able to order from the Nike app.

Just ordered them off the Nike app. I don’t like this CW and will be returning, but I wanted to try them on to test the arch and pinky toe areas, which were problems for me on the 34s/35s. Then I’ll be waiting for the psychic energy or a solid outsole color.

Shoot, I've got the opposite problem. My birthday is later this month, and that was going to be my free pass and gift. Nike trying to sow some marital discord in my house. Also, being married is fun. :lol:

How would you compare the midfoot arch in the 36's to the 34's and 35's? Is it as aggressive as in those two models (i.e., likely to cause discomfort/blistering)?

As people start getting these on their feet, I'd like to hear about the midfoot arch fit from those who also experienced the 34's and 35's. I loved my 34's, but had to send them back because the Eclipse Plate felt like there was a mini hockey puck under there. Tore up my arches pretty good (and...

I’m curious, why didn’t the KD 14’s work for you?

Good stuff! Similar story here, but without the 15% discount. Hustled over to my local Nike after striking out online. They weren’t on the wall, but as I was walking away in disappointment I noticed them on the feet of a mannequin. All went smoothly and I’m breaking them in now.

Nike Miami has them.

YUP. Got the notification, went to grab my 12.0, and they’re gone. Eff you, Nike.
