Finally got mine today after they pushed my delivery date by one day. Should’ve arrived Saturday, but came today instead.
My first impressions of the shoe. Finally, a true numbered Jordan in every sense of the word. They just have that AJ model feel to them, and I got the same reaction and feel to these the same way I did when I purchased the Jordan XX’s and XX3’s back in 2005 and 2008, respectively.
Trying them on: kind of snug at first, but when you finally put your foot in and lock in the flight strap, you really feel the shoe hug your foot for a maximum lock-in feel. I can already tell these would be one helluva basketball shoe on court and I’m anxious to try them on court.
Definitely go true to size if you like your fit nice and tight. Maybe a 1/2 size up if you prefer a little room in the mid foot area.
The box is awesome. The cloth/denim feel tag where it says “engineered for flight” is a nice touch.
The insert card reminds me of the AJ 16 shoe
.
Mind you, maybe not the most casual looking shoe to wear on a daily, but the comfort and lockdown support on these are incredible.
The details are really nice. The Nike Air logo on the back is by far my favorite design on the shoe, along with the midsole ( thank God, I hated the typical midsoles that’s JB was using for the signature shoes).
I’ll be wearing them all day so I’ll provide more of my opinion on these later tonight.
