Air Jordan XXXVI (36) first info…

[sneeker]

played again today with the 36. this time my calves and hamstring are quite loose. first time playing with no knee brace in a long time. knees are a bit better and didn't force it much and played with limited minutes. the 36 felt really much better with my knees feeling better and with no brace. felt lighter eventhough I weigh more than Lonzo.

The toe box area for these is nothing but thin mesh. I just get into that imo. Longevity, don’t see it

[dmoney23444]

1. Infrared
2. Energy
3. Gold
4. 1st light

any with player logo dead last.

 

[SR-71]

so far
1) black infrared
2) 1st lights tied with psychic PF
3) psychic

4) Rui*
5) Tatum*
6) Glory
7) Luca*

108 ) Kia Nurse*
9999) Guo*

*any with other player logo = not even worth considering for me even if the colorway might be nice, such as the Rui's or Tatum's

Melo

Are these releasing? Anyone know?

 

[Unclemannyapproved]

Are these releasing? Anyone know?

sh*t they need to

 

[SR-71]

Are these releasing? Anyone know?

They're sick! I really hope they do release those eventually.

Is it just me or they got some kind of Air Flyknit Max(620469-008,404 or whatever) vibe with the upper?

Brace yourselves, I'm about to contradict myself mightily. Much like dmoney23444 , I normally can't stand the logos (mostly cause there aren't many JB athletes I mess with these days other than Kemba) but if we talking colorways I gotta go:


1) Luka - promoted to the top despite the logo
2) First Light
3) Glory
4) Psychic Energy
5) Kia Nurse
6) Rui
7) Guo
8. Tatum - demoted to the bottom (dook) despite the colorway

I'll reserve judgement on black infrared until I see more in-hand real pics but currently would probably slate them at 3 or 4 in that list.

 

[charmcitykid]

Melos is the only pair I'd even consider buying. Everything else is utter garbage 🗑. Unc ps is cool. Yea, i came here just to say this. Yea, i know no one cares.

 

[dmoney23444]

So bulls colorways and og colorways are utter garbage. God please take me.

 

[carolinakickg]

My personal take is this:

If the model dropped when Jordan was playing, then I prefer the OG and Bulls (or Wizards colorways)

If the model is dropping now, then the "OG" colorway is whatever colorway is on that model. MJ ain't wearin' them, and I'm not a Bulls fans, so it isn't *AS* important to me. Still catches my attention more, but I'm also more open to different colorways on newer models that he's never going to wear on court.

Personal opinion obviously no wrong or right answer.

 

[dmoney23444]

Yea it’s def an OG colorway to the new model. But to call a black/red or nod to an original colorway utter garbage is just crazy to me. I enjoy some of the crazy colorways myself but it’s still an Air Jordan And the classic combos will always reign supreme.

 

[ill4eva]

My rankings;

1. JT Olympic
2. JT Black/Infrared PE

all the other colorways are garbage.

 

[PremioBinSoleFlyUnion]

Public Enemy dmoney23444 and carolinakickg give me your updated rankings based on performance and not looks on Jordans 28-36 please? Here’s mine:
1. XX8
2. XXXI
3. XXXV
4. XXXVI
5. XXXIV
6. XXX
7. XX9
8. XXXII
9. XXXIII

Don’t get it twisted I still love the XXXII and XXXIII.

 

[NToweG]

In my eyes OG/Bull colorways are always prime but they're not always a coppable item.

Ex. 34's could've been 10x better with a black bottom.

As much as I dont think we'll ever see MJ even put on any 30's or above, it should be Mandatory they release a Bulls based colorway. It's what started this.

 

[Public Enemy]

I'm not gonna be much help here. I love playing in the xxxivs & I tried on the xxxv mids and lows but never balled in em. I just got the psychics but haven't played in those yet either. Had the xx9s for a hot second and they felt good but too much ankle coverage so I didn't keep those.

 

[brian blades]

1) Black Infrared
2) Rui
3) Luka

if the white uppers weren’t prone to yellowing they’d be up there

34s and 28s my favorite performers but haven’t played in most of the others

 

[dmoney23444]

Only played in 29, 31, and 34 of those. I’d rank them

29
34
31

in that order.

Well in everyone else’s opinion, Jordan is a Chicago Bulls player and the colorways that people look forward to the most are the Bulls team colors.

You got the 31 traction to work? They weren't ice skates but the bite always felt suspicious and you could never tell when or if it would give out
Which is worse than a consistently mediocre traction Imo because that way you can at least adjust for it.

Put some real traction on the 31 and it's an all time performer.

I had four pairs of 31’s and they were all bad, dangerously bad!

Anyone that says the traction was good in those I’m gonna say

 

[NToweG]

MJ's college colorways though

I haven't played in all of these admittedly but of the ones I have played in:

29
31
34
35

The 29 is probably my favorite hooping shoe of all time. If they could have made the traction a little better, I would honestly have zero complaints though I did cut rubber outsole in the same place on 2 different pairs (not sure if that's my playing style of a known thing). The 31 is also a beast and also has the same traction issue, but the solid outsole pairs were better.

The 34 I liked, nothing out of this world.
The 35 I did not like to hoop in, felt funny on my arch which is weird considering I don't have high arches or flat feet, just completely average feet.

Sounds good. Literally says it has my attention more when they drop those colorways.

didnt you just post in Bron 19 thread about some non-OG Bron colorway?

I’m just messing with you anyway, s’all gravy
