These look really good. I don't like how far the toe is off the ground though. It's weird. I actually posted an article way back about this on here about how that weakens your foot, but I don't see where I put it
It was a Harvard research blog.

I'm really starting to like this model, especially this cw. However I think the shoe is more of a Paul George type of model than a Zion type. I'd expect someone like Zion to wear bigger and thicker shoes.

Late to the Zion party but currently testing out the “Mud” pair…
So far only one half session in… shot around and played about 3 games of 21. The fit of these are definitely the highlight… nice and snug, although I think I cranked the laces too tight because sometime during the last game my feet were screaming smh. Lots of discomfort around the lateral side of where the metatarsals are located. Kinda weird to get that pain all of a sudden, something to keep an eye out for next time. Traction in these seems decent… had to wipe, maybe a little more than normal but they weren’t bad like I was sliding on ice skates either. Oh and it took about an hour before I really starting feeling the Zoom… pretty bouncy but the cushioning is also another highlight. Heel feels a little clunky but it’s not too bad, I mostly play on my toes anyway.

You're the first person who feels the same way I do about this shoe & your experience is close to identical with mine. The Zion 3 has been the first shoe I've been able to take straight from the store to the floor since the Kobe AD NXT's. I haven't gotten the MUD's yet, but with the regular joints I can't play with the insole that comes with them so I swapped them with the AD NXT insoles & they feel awesome! Waiting for the black MUD's to go on sale so I can scoop those up & those will most likely be my 5th & final pair of Zion 3's.

Since there are no leaks or info on the 4 I guess its getting pushed to spring or discontinued. Its been over a year since the 3

Interesting point because I think he signed a 5 year deal with Jordan brand and he wore the sig Jordans the first year or two. I hope that’s not the case. I really liked the 2’s and 3’s.

Nike and JB started moving different a year or two into the pandemic. Its entirely possible for the 4s to be coming out in like November and there’s just been no info yet. JB featured him during that trip to the Great Wall (with Luka and Paolo etc) and they’ve made it clear they havent forgotten about him so I think the 4s are definitely coming considering the shoe cycle time frame of 18 months or whatever in advance.
I hope the 4s are better than the other new duds Nike and NB have has with Luka and JT and Ja and Giannis. Nike/JB is still a behemoth but their track record of late with next gen players is pretty poor.

It's the opposite for me. I need them so that I can quit using the insoles from my Kobes.Let me know when I can grab the full length zoom joints on deep deep discount. Need that drop in for my Kobes

Have purchased way too many kicks this summer, hadn’t played in these in a while but brought them out tonight at my local 24 Hr Fitness (typical dusty floor)
First time really playing against some decent competition (younger guys) and I’d say they weren’t bad at all… traction def picked up a lot of dust as you can see, but I wasn’t sliding around or anything like that. I like the snug fit, so no complaints there. But, the cushioning man… it’s so low to the ground, and not that it’s a surprise, I knew that when I got em but when I’m playing full court for a couple of hours that’s when I def need something a little more plush under foot. Will probably keep these and break them out from time to time just to wear something different but they won’t be a main part of the rotation. I think I do like these over the Kobe 8 proto, mostly because of the forefoot Zoom.

I have these (which have now been downgraded to yard work shoes), the Fresh Paints, the all white joints & the blue joints that just came out. Other than the soles being dust magnets (but not slippery like you said) & that hard *** insole that comes with the shoe (which immediately gets swapped out with those of my Kobe AD NXT's), this is been a very solid shoe to hoop in; both for slow pace pickup game & fast paced league games.Have purchased way too many kicks this summer, hadn’t played in these in a while but brought them out tonight at my local 24 Hr Fitness (typical dusty floor)

I was finally able to land some Kobe 8 TB's so I'm going to see how those Lunarlon insoles (which I'm also not a fan of) work in the Zions.

I’ve been occasionally swapping in my 2 Jordan 2011 drop ins and my Lebron 11 drop ins in these Zions.

Hadn’t worn these in a minute, figured I would break them in a bit more. Seem to be feeling a little better compared to when I first got them.

Might pull the trigger with the extra $34 off. Drops them down to $79.

They're the first shoe since Kobes that I've been able to take straight from the store to the floor. The only negative about the Zion 3's (minus the ones above) is that hard *** insole that comes with them. If you have any other drop-ins that you can swap them with (minus the Lunarlon joints) definitely do it.
