Appreciate y'all for the feedback. So 34s & 36s are the consensus picks for best performers on court? Probably gonna cop one of each. I've been getting back into hooping a lot lately, been primarily playing in my 35s & Kobe ixs. The traction on Kobes is almost non-existent at this point so it's time for a replacement.

agreed 34 and 36 are the best and if your one that the 35 don't hurt your feet, they're right up there with the 34 and 35 as well in my experience.

I’m a fan of the 35s. Was just wearing my bred pair the other day and was thinking I was sorry I don’t have more CWs.

35s are comfy and materials are top notch. I only wear mine casually though.
36s are comfy and feels like a trampoline on the court. The only downside is the narrow fit, and that's even with the EP version which would cause a blister on the pinky toe

35s are my favorite pair post-30 but the 38s (even with the outsole debacle) are my 2nd favorite since, even though the 36s are elite.
Sent a pair of fundamentals back and reordered with the 20% off on NDC. We’ll see how long this pair lasts

38s easily the best-looking Jordan for me since probably the 17. 34, 35 and 36 were all decent, but I’d never choose them over these in terms of aesthetics.

I’d choose the 36 for performance though.

That may be true but I was only talking looks. These days, the only performance needs I have out of them is looking and feeling good while I kick it in the Rainking lounge or out casually walking around.

Had the KD 13 which is double stack forefoot zoom strobel, and the same tech in the 36. Put one on each foot and the 36 by far blew away the KD 13. It was like it was two totally different levels of the same technology.

I did the same. Wohoo!35s are my favorite pair post-30 but the 38s (even with the outsole debacle) are my 2nd favorite since, even though the 36s are elite.

I love the 32 in all shapes and cuts, on and off court, then the 36, 34, and 38. I’m in the minority I guess because the Jordan’s from 28-38 have been great on and off court.

The Rainking Lounge is legendary. Hugh Hefner approved!That may be true but I was only talking looks. These days, the only performance needs I have out of them is looking and feeling good while I kick it in the Rainking lounge or out casually walking around.

We should declare today National Rainking day, he’s done a lot for the community. Off topic but why do people not give the 2011/XXVI credit? Held 38s in hand Friday and they felt cheap baby, weird material on tongue.

Sorry catching up! anyone know the release date on the light blue 38s on NDC? Will those Gai Guozo (sorry misspelled) be available in the US either?

the other downside of the 36 was those holes on the insoles. can't wear them all day with thin socks.

if they felt cheap, how do you find the shoes before it?

I loved them til the 34, 36 and 38 came out. the 32s were really nice and had some of my best games wearing them. speaking of, I might wear them this coming tuesday.
