Air Jordan 36 Low Review

Pros:
More comfortable fit than the regular 36
Amazing traction
Cons:
Does not contain as well as the regular 36
Slight heel slippage

Performance of the Air Jordan 36 Low:

Jordan Brand's low-top version of its mainline shoe has an identical traction pattern but uses a solid rubber compound. It performs pretty much the same, which is to say it's great. The cushion also remains the same. It's bouncy and is potentially the best setup on the market. Some reviewers feel that the Low fits slightly better than the regular 36 because of the materials. The support is solid and hard to beat for a low-top, but some reviewers mentioned experiencing heel slippage. Overall, the Jordan 36 Low is just as good a choice for a performance basketball shoe as the mid-top version.

I preferred playing in the Jordan 36 Low a bit more than the Jordan 36. It's a lightweight, breathable shoe that offers bouncy cushion and grippy traction.

The Jordan 36 Low is almost identical to the regular Jordan 36. The main difference is the Lows are not as supportive, but it has a more comfortable fit.

Just buy it if you find it at lower than retail, amazing for all positions, no outdoor in these cuz it is a hella expensive shoe and durability is not good and if you are a fucking pig in terms of smelly feet these have very good ventilation cuz the materials. Traction and Cushion are ok(traction was ass tho idk how but It was)The cushion was so nice that it was too much for me. If you are a shifty lightweight PG or SG I would stick to the PG 6, Giannis immortality, Don ISSUE 4, PG 5 or Dame

Tested a lot of shoes lately. Zion 2, PG6, Harden Vol. 6, Jordan 36 low at first. I took every pair of them to every training session and every match day. My gut feeling chose the Jordan 36 low unconsciously. Traction is top tier. Cushioning is simply amazing. But sometimes the Jordans feel too lightweight and "airy". Current Rota: Jordan 36 low / Curry 10 / MB. 02 Favorite: Jordan 36 Low.

The traction wasn't very good at first but after 2 sessions it was pretty good, cushioning was a 10/10 as soon as I got them, I experienced very slight heel slippage but it went away and the fit is pretty much perfect, I would recommend this shoe to SF, PF and C, I wouldn't really recommend it to guards because the zoom unit in the forefoot causes a bit of instability.

I had no bad experience with these shoes. I just don't think that it lives up to all the hype. I would only recommend this shoe to bigger players as the shoes are quite heavy compared to others.

The materials used on the upper are slightly different, and because of this, they aren't as containing. They are just as durable, though.

The 36 Low still uses a Leno-weave upper combined with a fuse for support and durability. The quality isn't the best, but the performance is solid.

I find the 36 Low to be a very supportive shoe. The Phylon midsole cages your foot to provide lateral containment.

Lateral containment was good. The added fuse provides some more support, but it's only a minor improvement on an already good setup.

The material used on the low is slightly different, meaning the shoe is not as good at containing your foot as the mid version.

The support is almost the same as the Jordan 36. The Low version gave me a bit more heel slippage. It didn't feel like it would slip off, but I was mentally aware of the slipping.
