The Official Jordan XXXI Thread

Ok I'm not big on traction and whatnot like most of these youtubers are so how are the traction on these really?
 
In the JB video I seen about the "fine print" XX1. It's supposed to based off the black/white OG AJ 1 (obviously).

It's cool that the sole has his signature on it.
 
The traction on these is great. I don't know what sand lots these reviewers walk thru on their way to their gyms, but these have been perfect. I also liked the traction on the 29 and 30, and these are just as good if not better.

Disclaimer- I don't wear my hoop shoes outside. They go strictly to the court and when I leave they go in my gym bag and I walk out of the gym in flip flops or some pair of beaters or retro or whatever. Maybe that's why I don't have issues with traction in any of my shoes that reviewers have complained about recently (like the kobe 11, etc).

How is your game?  Not trying to make a joke out of it or anything, but I know a lot of the shoe reviewers on YouTube that reviewed these 31s...........these are guys that make a lot of cuts, ankle breaker crossovers, and any other sharp lateral movements on the court in order to get a full feel of the shoes they wear.

If you are just a guy that runs north to south, spots up for an open jumper, and just grabs rebounds, then I don't think you'll fully understand if the traction on the shoes are great or not.

Once again, not trying to make assumptions on your actual b-ball game........just wanted to see why you feel the traction is great on the court in comparison with your actual b-ball game while in contrast with other YouTube reviewers that dislike the traction and are primarily guys that make a lot of lateral movements on the court.

Finally. Someone gets it. I have no traction issues because of what you mentioned. Hopefully, OP doesn't take it the wrong way and elaborate. As far as my game goes, I've been reduced to a spot up shooter. Both knees are shot. Partial acl tears on both knees. So the need to cut and drive is pretty much non existent in my game. I normally buy bball shoes for comfort and support and decent traction.
