These are some of the most tech packed basketball sneakers of 2021 with a full lenth zoom air unit plus forefoot zoom air unit and a aerodynamic mid and outsole design- but judge for yourself if they're worthy enough to be a game day sneaker. As a foot doctor I look at basketball shoes and basketball sneaker technology a bit differently as I focus more on what foot types benefit from these shoes as well as the tennis shoe's functional attributes on the tennis and basketball court
Some of the main areas we cover in this basketball shoe playtest, teardown and performance review are:
- The weight, durability, fit and playability
- What are the features of the insole, midsole, and outsole
- Nike basketball shoe technology explained

    The most informative and practical review I’ve seen. Actually giving proper detail into why these would suite some and not others which is what I’ve been looking for, was close to buying these but actually as I have a wider foot and can’t sacrifice the comfort I’ll give them a miss (also had no idea about the protruding part on the bottom so really helpful!)

    Thanks for the review and tear down! I have put 6-7 hours of play in the AJ 36 and this is by far the bounciest feeling shoes I have ever experienced! And I have been using ZoomAir shoes since the late 1990-ies. The impact absorption is really good in the heel, while the forefoot Zoom bag springs back after loading, giving you the sensation of mini trampoline! As for the fit - shoe runs a bit long and narrow. They felt uncomfortably snug wide wise at the forefoot, while lengthwise I still had 5mm from big toe to shoe end. First putting them on foot I thought that I will have to return the pair and go 1/2 or 1 size up. Fortunately either the materials stretch or insole compactifies(or both), so now I even need a thicker sock. The only issue I have with AJ36 is with heel lockdown - I feel a slight heel movement up-down incidentally. I have no problems with Zoom protruding - shoe doesn't feel wobbly to me and it's like the bulge makes it easier to feel ZoomAir loading and rebounding.

    Mine are on the way, found your video while waiting and I'm a 14 very flat narrower feet. Noticed you said go up . 5 size. They don't make 14.5 so I did buy the 15. I'm 45 and still play like a younger athletic guard and need support, ground feel, not a ton of cushion and typically feel shiftier in a low top. Today's Shoes are made so small it seems, I buy performance and style, and I struggle with finding a good fit. Over the last 3 years PG4 and Gianni's Freak2 have been ideal. KDs in a 14 we're so tight and I thought they would be great but nope. Do you think these will work?

(I haven't been to a retail store to buy shoes and so long I couldn't believe it but they had many models in my size) Tried them on and def too long. I grabbed some Pumas, as I've been really interested in trying them and didn't realize they have a similar return policy as Nike. I can wear them and bring them back within 90 days. The Jordans are still on the way so maybe I can get lucky and return them for a 14 or sell privately for a profit.

    This shoe is the most comfortable shoe I have ever worn. No pain at all when I play volleyball. I play middle blocker and setter, so I have to pivot,shuffle,jump and run a lot. I sprain my ankle often and have abit of a wide foot, but this shoe keeps me so stable and no chafing of my toes. The traction is pretty good, picks up dust but not too much. And it is so light, I don’t feel any negative weight working against me. As for the bulge of the zoom unit in the forefoot, don’t worry, i did not feel unstable at all. All in all, most comfy shoe ever, light and supportive. Out of 10, I would give a 9/10. Missing 1 is that crazy curry traction:) I’m 1.84m and 70~kg. Just for reference

    Thank you a lot. I came across Air jordan 36 on discount and got them. played in them for about 2-3 days and really felt discomfort in some areas. I watched some of the reviews and like everybody was praising them and calling them one of the best BBall shoes out there. The thing is, my feet are wide and have high arc, so stiff materials on the upper really irritated my feet while playing for extended periods, plus that forefoot zoom unit caused huge discomfort over time as stiff upper pushed foot down into it and although traction was absolutely great and shoe felt bouncy af, because of this discomfort in the forefoot, I never felt good support on them and usually you sacrifice support for comfort and in this case this shoes are not comfortable at all. Everything this was explained perfectly in video, thanks a lot once again.

    Air Jordan 36 were awesome….for about two months. When new the mesh upper really wrapped the feet very well so much so that it felt the arch were supported very well. Then the good times stopped there, the mesh upper on my pair gave out too much. Feels like the feet were sliding around in the shoes too much no matter how tight the laces were tied. That combined with the protruding zoom unit made it feel unstable.

When the foot is on the ground, it becomes a flat sole, when it is lifted, it becomes a normal sole. I may not be able to write correctly in English. Until last year, he always wore Jordan. (Jordan 4, jordan 11, jordan sapce jam 8 etc.) His feet and knees were sore after training. I researched last year. Kevin Durent also has flat feet. I bought Kd 14, my son's foot and knee pains are gone. But when viewed from behind, it looks like his foot is a little crooked. I bought it at Kd 15. My son didn't like it very much. My son jordan wants 36 or 37. What would you recommend? Should you buy insoles for flat soles and put them in shoes? His doctor said there is no need for such a thing. Should I get Jordan 36 or 37? What would you recommend? Or should we choose other than these models? Could it be pg or curry ? Since there are no Turkish subtitles in your videos, I have a hard time translating and understanding what you are saying. I would be very happy if you write a detailed answer. Thanks.

    Mine are on the way, found your video while waiting and I'm a 14 very flat narrower feet. Noticed you said go up . 5 size. They don't make 14.5 so I did buy the 15. I'm 45 and still play like a younger athletic guard and need support, ground feel, not a ton of cushion and typically feel shiftier in a low top. Today's Shoes are made so small it seems, I buy performance and style, and I struggle with finding a good fit. Over the last 3 years PG4 and Gianni's Freak2 have been ideal. KDs in a 14 we're so tight and I thought they would be great but nope. Do you think these will work?

    From my experience AJ36 runs long, so going size up will only exacerbate this fact. I went TTS and I have more space(~5mm) between big toe and shoe that I like, adding a full size up seems not a good idea, especially when you say you have narrow foot. I have found AJ36 do breaks in, making some room at the forefoot after few hours of play.

    I just bought these shoes 😍 instant hit for me. Initially it’s a little tight on the front but after few hours of intense play it fit’s snuggly now. This shoe is only for intense performance athletes coz comfort is less vs performance. It’s beautiful looking too. It didn’t slip on dusty court. It’s super light too and reflexes are at lightning speed. I did some massive dives which i wasn’t able to on a kd9. I am a competitive volleyball hitter and upgraded from KD 9 coz landing impact was harder and hurting my front of the foot.

    Surprised you didn't touch on the perforated insoles. After the first day playing in these shoes (1.5 hrs) I came home and immediately ripped out the insole. The holes were acting as a cheese grater on the balls of my feet. I fully expected to have big blisters on my feet when I took the shoes off, that's what it felt like. No blisters, but I did have a lot of redness and soreness. I had small indentations on my foot even the next morning. Since replacing them with a normal, solid insole I have been able to play in them without issue. Just something I thought others would want to know before purchasing.

I am 35yo and play competitive bball i usually change 3-5 pairs a year i never had slippage issues with any other shoe, especially mids and highs. Now i got the GT Jumps and they feel nice tts, a little bit snug though. Something else i was surprised with was that i had ordered the 36s earlier in September in the Doncic colorway and the 12 was too tight and the 12.5 was too long. I returned both back to nike webshop. Last week i was at House of Hoops in Rotterdam The Netherlands and i tried the infrared and the 12 was perfect fit, even roomy. I had similar experience with the Why.Not 1s in the past. Webshop too tight and small, off line store perfecr fit.
