Jordan 1 Volt Gold Hoodies Sneaker Match Volt OG Mars one of the most highly anticipated models of 2023, as most flagship Jordans are, but on top of that, these just Jordan 6s long sleeve Tinker

Jordan 1 Malachite via Nike in allen Größen revamp of the flagship Jordan line, PK God Batch Nike Air Jordan 4 Retro Canyon Purple AQ9129-500 Jordan Brand has been featuring in these models in recent years: No eclipse plate, no unlocked Zoom, and no see-through hole in the midsole. 

It is also one of the better-looking flagship Jordans that we have seen in a while and the tribute paid in the design of the shoe to Air Jordan 11 Space Jam Packaging Features a Bugs Bunny is subtle and very well done. So, having said all of this, let’s jump into the performance review and see why the Jordan 38 just might be the best hoop shoe of 2023.

Jordan 38 Traction

Buy Authentic Jordan 8 Cool Grey

In this colorway, the Jordan 38 comes Jordan 14 Retro Low, with an aggressive, full-length herringbone traction pattern, which is a tried and tested pattern that offers great multidirectional coverage on court. After a brief first test on a hardwood floor, this traction feels super grippy and should work great. 

That translucent rubber and the relatively shallow traction pattern do not bode well for outdoor use, however. We have seen some colorways of the Jordan 38 that do feature solid rubber, which may be more outdoor-friendly, but, for now, we’ll have to wait and see. But also, who is buying the Jordan 38 for outdoor use?

Nike WMNS Air Jordan 1 High OG Starfish 26cm

Air Jordan 1 Mid Safety sneakers, we have a full-length Zoom Air Strobel, which Jordan seems to have commandeered from Nike at this point. Nike’s (or Jordan’s) Zoom Air Strobel is an excellent piece of tech that provides a very well-balanced ride on court that will give you more than enough impact protection and reactiveness as you play. 

Underneath the Zoom Air Strobele=, we have an Buty dla dużych dzieci Air Jordan 1 Mid SS Biel which is firm and bouncy, and underneath that, we have Cushlon 3.0, Nike’s top-tier foam cushioning. This Cushlon unit is full-length, plush, and responsive. Just great.

The Jordan 38 has a WMNS Air Jordan 1 Retro High OG Rox Brown quantity. In fact, a good portion of the shoe is see-through. But the good news is that, unlike the Jordan 37, this part of the build feels like it will be able to offer all of the support and containment you’ll need on court while keeping the shoe lightweight, very breathable, and with a very minimal break-in time.  

We have synthetic Nubuck and leather in the heel and toebox of the shoe for added containment. It’s nothing premium but it does feel good in hand which is a plus. 

Also, the logo on the neoprene tongue of the shoe pays tribute (loosely) to Air Jordan 11 Space Jam Packaging Features a Bugs Bunny. The tongue of the Jordan 38 is very comfortable and has huge perforations punched out Jordan 37 Black Hot Punch.    

Jordan 38 Support

The stand-out support feature on the Jordan 38 also pays tribute to Air Jordan 11 Space Jam Packaging Features a Bugs Bunny. The 8 had that iconic cross strap Nike air jordan black red white кросівки високі Кросівки nike jordan 1 retro light blue Nike Womens WMNS Jordan Delta Breathe Metallic Silver DJ5200-109. 

This X plate covers the midfoot and forefoot of the shoe. The “arms” of that X shape provide torsional rigidity while the axis point will give you springy reactiveness as you move. A great little piece of tech, and a very clever implementation. 

Everything else in terms of support and containment is what you would expect from a modern hoop shoe (wide base, outriggers, heel counter, etc.) and should perform well.  

Jordan 38 Fit

The Jordan 38 fits true to size, so go with whatever size you usually wear. For those shopping online, don’t be alarmed if the shoes look a bit small, it’s just an optical illusion, try them on and you will see that they are the right size. 

Jordan 38 Overall

Sky jordan 1 boys bq7196-041

The Jordan 37 was a bit of a disappointment in terms of on-court performance, and aesthetically it is one of the least “Jordan-looking” Jordans of all time. The Jordan 38 NIKE AIR JORDAN 33 FUTURE FLIGHT 25.5cm grand slam of a shoe. The new tech that they have packed into this model feels great and should offer a premium experience on the hardwood, and it just looks and feels like a flagship Jordan should. The Jordan 38 has a great shot at becoming the best basketball shoe of 2023-24.

  1. Disagree slightly with the fit review; finding it runs small. Toe-box is narrow internally on the outside edge of both shoes.
