Up until this point, I have really only done Performance Reviews on the latest basketball products on the market. One giant aspect of this market is the Retro… which are typically used for casual use nowadays yet – way back when – players from all over the world would anticipate the latest installment of the Air Jordan Legacy so they could lace them up on-court just as Michael Jordan did every night.
One question that is consistently asked… are Air Jordan Retro models good to use on-court? I have had many personal opinions on this subject both neutral and somewhat negative but starting in March 2012, I will be going back in time, so to speak, and performance review each and every Air Jordan from I-XX3.
Once a month we will bring you a new performance review, starting with the Air Jordan 1. This is something I have wanted to do for quite some time and now is the time to make it happen.
I wanted to thank everyone for the support over the years… I appreciate it greatly. With this I hope we can shed some light on the performance aspect on these sneakers and take things back to how it used to be… when people wore basketball shoes inspired by the greatest player ever for their intended purpose… to play the game of basketball.
Dope! I look forward to seeing this!
Thanks!
that would be cool! and i though you had magic with the introduction of shoes. should had special effect LOL!
Haha!
its gonna be sickkkk, can’t wait for the Jordan 20s
Yes sir!
great concept bro! man i’d wait until next year for the XIs’ review hahaha!
Lmao!
Dang what a great idea. Definitely looking forward to this. I just don’t understand how you have the time to do all this on top of the 5+ performance reviews you have on hand right now. But you find a way, and I’m looking forward to it. Keep up the great work!
A lot of on court time on a daily basis…
Great Idea, which full review is coming up next?
Kobe 7s are next. Prob next week, just want to be sure about a couple of things before i review completely.
Great!!! Deep down inside, I still want to be like Mike. Thanks a lot!!
Join the club lol
I really hope that someone at Jordan Brand, or if possible, Mr.Jordan himself, would see your vids and our comments and realize that there are still people who want to play in the models they used to love and stop cheaping out on retros. Bring J’s back to where they belong, the court!!!
We shall see but dont hold your breath.
really appreciate for doing this.all the time i have been wondering the performance of the jordan retro serie.i need a shoe both for performance and casual,but the retro serie is not cheap.so,i cant risk my money.thanks for doing this.just cant wait for your review
Thanks bro, appreciate it!
this is awesome, just amazing…thank you, you are very appreciated in the sneaker-head department. 🙂
Thanks!!!
performance sneaker-head department I should say, btw those 2010’s…they’re just incredible, not pretty, but wow…best basketball shoe Ive ever worn.
Def not pretty lmao! But a damn good hoops shoe.
Very good idea! And it will help a lot, for many of us! Just want to know, how good the AJ 2010 will be on the overall list, cause it my current pick up of Jordans! Do you will rate them 1-27?
I havent thought that far in advance but just for caparison purposes i may rate them all.
All i can say is.THIS IS GREAT!finally i can see if i can buy and play with retroes
are u gonna do until 23? what is the next performance review after kobe 7? will the cp3.5 still be long?
Yes, thats what i said in the video… A full 1-23 performance review. CP3s will be after the kobes. Be patient, i play in shoes for 40+ hrs before the full review.
i hope you can include in the review the weight. if its just possible. thnx!
I can do that.
Thank you bro!
OMG… SO EXCITED!! THX MAN! XIXs are my favorites so far! Can’t beat double stacked zoom bags.
Lol, the XIX are very comfortable.
Jordan XIII and XIV are my favorites.. can’t wait
Same here, those are my two fav signatures for on court.
(Good luck with not being biased indeed 😉 You will wear some ankle protection, right? Because what I remember from many many many years ago, the ones I had, the IV and V’s didn’t offer good stability/ support. Same with the VII’s which I borrowed from my brother. (And the insoles/ cushioning of the IV and V was very soft. Not responsive at all.)
Also wouldn’t you think the trainers of, for example the Pacers (P George) and the Pistons (G Monroe) would disapprove their players from wearing those retro’s if they were bad for their feet?
I will be wearing the adidas speedwraps for sure just in case lol.
One more thing, I think you should include the year of the retros. From what I’ve heard, retros of the same model from different years might perform differently.(don’t know if that’s a fact or not)
I will be doing that for sure.
hey, if you want to get an idea of how the shoes perform, go to http://www.kicksguide.com and click jordan shoes and there are small reviews about them, just FYI.
p.s i can’t wait til this actually happens.
Im going to stay away from there just so i stay neutral on their performance until i begin playing in them.
okay, i still can’t wait though.
Me either lol. I want to start now but i have to try and get through these other shoes asap first
My first and only Jordan sneak is this years first Jordan retro release. The X Chicago, I’ve played a couple of games in them, can’t wait to see that review. Most of all the VI being my favorite alongside the XI. Do you have the DMP’S of them? Great sneaker vids keep it up!
Nice! I dont have the DMPs but they are nice.
