Are Jordans wearable in games?

[michael0360]

u CAN play in jordan retros but i wouldnt
from everything ive seen on this the 12s would be ur best bet if you really want to
imo kobes are best to ball in

They were made for ball so yes. They might not perform as well as the new products obviously but I still think they would be fine.

For $160 you can find a lot of better shoes to hoop in. Lebron, Kobes, Melo etc.

Technology is really outdated on any Jordan from 1-11. Even though 12-14 are great hoop shoes they can't be compare to today hoops shoes

I see dudes who rock retros, Penny, Air max, etc on the court and they look struggling to play ball.

the 14's...the side pannels would peel off

the 8s held up ok...no real problems with those

12s were pretty solid...but the shoe strings sucked

5's ok jus big ol clunkers lol

9s were alright just got extremely dirty and they were heavy as heck too...in fact all jordans are very heavy shoes minus the 14's

The sidepanel of the midsoles peeling off when people stepping on them in a basketball match is not a problem of a retro shoe but a general design matter.
Like the AJ 9, the AJ 14 have pulled up midsoles glued on the leather which tends to come off when putting much force onto it.

But both shoes, no matter OG or retro are very good basketball shoes, even after so many years.

I'm just shocked that the AJ 1 outsoles look so obsolete but has great traction on court despite i wore my 2001 retros so often on the street.

They have better traction than most other Jordans i have LOL. But the sole comfort is terrible ^^
