@@DarkKnight-ox2mg You can do it man. Im 6'2 and i kept getting clowned because i was such a waste of height (i could barely hang on rim) so i decided to get to it and i was able to dunk 3 months later. Im able to dunk off one foot and off two with either hand. 5'7 isnt small, it just takes a lot of hard work to acheive a dunk. I wish you the best man
Very cool side tangent on the indoor vs. outdoor outsole - to be honest if you are strictly an outdoor hooper I would take a hard court tenis shoe over a "basketball" shoe as the durability on that outsole will typically hold up much better.
I like how you still incorporated Chris’ intial impression video. It gives the audience a baseline for the actual performanc video. The indoor vs outdoor discussion was also nice! I’m looking forward to more of your reviews man!!
Great review! A lot of information in just 11 minutes. Honestly one of the better shoe reviews I've seen in awhile. Very surprised but even more impressed! A+
Nice review. The AJ 34's traction holds up really well indoors & outdoors. In contrast, the PG5s are definitely not meant for outdoors use. If you're looking for outdoor shoes though, it's not a bad idea to explore tennis shoes, as someone else mentioned below. Tennis shoes are great on different types of surfaces, have great traction, & work well for lateral movements & sharp cuts. The sacrifice is on the level of impact support as tennis doesn't involve as much jumping.
Great review Jackson! I picked up a pair of these a couple of weeks ago. I've played in them 4 times so far, and I have no complaints. The materials aren't the best, but they get the job done!
I love the Zion 2. I am a bigger Guy around 250 I feel that pad in the front of my shoes is on point I feel it on every step. I do have the Voodoos so my shoes keep their shape. I have only played indoor and love the traction of the Zions Quick up, and when dunking great landing too. I have the Zion 1 also I would have loved the full-length Air Strobel, but's not a game breaker.
I learned the hard court tennis shoes trick for outdoors a while ago and am very happy with my Nike GP Turbos - would recommend to anyone who plays a lot outdoors
I think this speaks to the OG Nightwing subscribers, but these reviews give me the old sneaker room vibes. Appreciate Jackson’s insight and it’s great seeing different voices on the channel.
Great job on this one. I'll be trying to insta-cop the Raptors colorway whenever it does finally drop. looks like the materials are way better on some other colorways. Almost never pay retail for hoop shoes but I've been really wanting this one!
As a wide foot dude, it's hard finding shoes that feel good out the box. The grip is amazing. Def gonna be my go to bball shoes of 2022. And I get tons of compliments on the retro look
I actually felt the Zion 1 was way better than the Zion 2. It was much more comfortable and allowed me to make cuts to the basket a lot better. The Zion 2 has a better lockdown but its more flat on the ground similar to the Air Force One basketball shoes.
Good feeling shoe 2E Wide foot I went up .5 in size 10.5 to 11. Probably could have went true to size but 11 feels good. Actual foot lenght 10 7/8 on ruler.. heel to toe... almost at 11 inches, but 10.5 could have worked. Comfortable shoe... balanced flat on floor can feel the forefoot cushioning. Good for outdoor also.
I'm loving the shoes, 5'10 155 speed is my thing so the grip actually surprised me. Flashbacks to Zion busting out of his shoe lol. Just a bit heavy on me compared to the Newbalance I usually wear. The shoes get noticed outside flashy fast and fun, 5 ✨
I got these in black. Havent played in them yet, but being a 13us wide foot solid guy, finding new tech shoes has been hard. 36s were too tight, 37s too flimsy and while i havent tried Luka 1s, not a fan of the running shoe look or lack of support. these were surprisingly comfy. Though may take getting used to the prominant forefoot zoom bubble in the middle, feel like it should be soread better perhaps. Defs not as comfy as a 13, but these are $100 cheaper and always available, so good option for us bigger guys.
I really like the look, shape and design of shoes and i like that vibe of 90's but they seems to me a bit stiff and heavy , they do not look too soft and comfortable.
I tried on a adidas basketball shoe and it was a 10.5 and it felt like I just a little bit of room left so with this shoe as a 10.5 would it be different in size. Or should I just go for a 11.
Both my boys had to get this (black team version) for their high school team, and absolutely hate them. None of the players like them either...maybe because they had no choice.. They complain that the traction is crap, feel clunky and they hate the look. Both my boys prefer what they were already wearing, and this shoe is a step down (Jordan 37 and Puma Clyde All-Pro).
Nike budget models have durable rubber for outdoors, maybe they figure whoever is buying cheaper shoes doesn’t have $ for indoor gym use? Seems those are only domestic ones they release that will hold up outside
Hey would the Zion 2’s be good on a felt floor? My school has a court but it has felt-like flooring and I don’t know what the material is actually called. I just don’t know if the traction would be any good
Went to purchase the sneaker and my size isn't available at the major retailers and eBay. Performance reviews benefit wide foot guys knowing what shoes may be wide feet friendly.
I absolutely love the slight sas this video gives off. I also think the video could be a bit more concise though, just a small bit though, please keep the sas
#DetroitBasketball have you ever done a product review on those shoes that increase your vertical? The ones that concentrate on leg muscles while doing normal walking?
The intro is all of us regular dudes dreaming of dunking, quickly being shut down by the reality :)
5’7 and I got fed up of being normal. After some training I’ve already got a 35 inch running vert. Looking forward to dunking soon.

That clip has gotta be a reference to an old Jordan vid of Chris

Hard as a brick for the 1st 30min. Once broken in, the cushion is good

Yo! I was thinking kinda the same thing, some sort of good community vibes going on.
I was having a lot of different thoughts about the Zion 2 but this really helped! Great review Jackson!
Your doing a great job dude.
'Leather adjacent.' 🤣🤣🤣 Great review...I've kinda been missing Chris' in depth performance reviews so it's nice to see Jackson has got it covered.
Awesome review and liked the section on outdoor shoes and traction tips! Keep it up man!
Great job on this one. I'll be trying to insta-cop the Raptors colorway whenever it does finally drop. looks like the materials are way better on some other colorways. Almost never pay retail for hoop shoes but I've been really wanting this one!
I like your vibes guy
Just copped a pair today. I'm currently watching this review while wearing mine. Can't wait to use it tomorrow!
Do they squeak when walking?
Great review, loved the energy
Another great review. Thanks WT team.
Really thorough. Well done. Great review.
This kids a keeper! Solid Review!
I'm happy I gave this review a chance

How do they feel while playing
@@solarcj9313 they feel great. Solid lock down, great court feel, and just generally comfortable.
@@Marcvelous3 bet I’m going to get them now
@@solarcj9313 bet im finna get them now too if u got urs how r they

Way better than I expected.

Wide-footers finally getting some love! Let's go!!!!!
jordan brand has been killing it lately for wide footers
He's funky.
I like it, I see you wear testers got yourself a lil squad over there 💪
I was gonna cop the zions because of the intro! 🤣 great job with the review!
If you're looking for an outdoor shoe that pair of and1 right behind you! Tai Chi or attack holds up! Great review!!
That intro had me going WOOOO!!!!!
Retro looking shoe. Like some Bo Jackson's mixed with Melos and Westbrook 3s
How about size adjustment if you have a wide foot? True size or 0.5 inch bigger?
This is a good review, didn’t even know the specs of it until now
And also, the rubber cupping is probably meant to avoid his accident during his duke season
Good feeling shoe 2E Wide foot I went up .5 in size 10.5 to 11. Probably could have went true to size but 11 feels good.

Welcome Jackson! Great review!
So 90s looking. Thats a good thing. Nice review.
The inside padding that sticks out on your ankle hurts even though it’s for support if you hoop heavily it will tear up your ankles
Good honest review, keep up the good work. A+
Do the heel / Achilles pads calm down a lot because I tried them on and the hurt straight away unlike the Lebron 19 lows really comfy
What do you think of the cushion of the zion 2’s compared to the zion 1’s?
The looks reminds me of Jordan Melo 1.5. Great review! Kuddos!
Its the new Barkleys, a big man shoe
That white with maybe black or something else instead of that multi color and I’d buy em just to rock. I like the style and silhouette
That’s hype that it performs so well! I feel like maybe Jordan has something good going here
That intro had me rolling!!
Great Review...echoes my thoughts on the shoes exactly.
Was hoping Chris did the review on these, but this will do...Good iob.
The shirt in the beginning is dope
Interesting comparison to use the Jordan 13, but now I am curious
Finally a good looking shoe Zion!!!!
Welcome to the fam!

Did a good job on this review. Better than your last, and you’ll only get better!

Loved the nature boy intro
great review!

These are growing on me honestly; we'll see if a colorway comes out that I'll cop.

How’s the fir with ankle braces? Should i go half size up with them?
Dope review ✌🏽
Nice review.
Got the draft day cw. I don't know but my left ball of foot still hurts til now.
best outdoor shoes videos 😭
Awesome Homer reference!!
Do the Zion 2s help with over probation
Hey would the Zion 2’s be good on a felt floor? My school has a court but it has felt-like flooring and I don’t know what the material is actually called. I just don’t know if the traction would be any good
Great job.
Pinkman! Good video man.
Went to purchase the sneaker and my size isn't available at the major retailers and eBay. Performance reviews benefit wide foot guys knowing what shoes may be wide feet friendly.
Okay I'm decided, I'll get these soon
Is it a flat or arched shoe? I'm flat footed so I can't play in most Jordans.
The high cut reminds me of old adidas (crazy quick, drose 1 2)
Is it any better than Zion 1?
I use the harden 4 for outdoors
I absolutely love the slight sas this video gives off. I also think the video could be a bit more concise though, just a small bit though, please keep the sas
Wasn't really wowed by the 1 and I really like cushion up front so these will be a pass but this was a great review
My zion 1's zoom unit popped and I returned them
These are the light version of the Westbrook’s 1
Does it have an independent free tongue?
I really had high hopes for the material when i first saw it...
Those Zion 2 are 🔥 & gorgeous 😍
#DetroitBasketball have you ever done a product review on those shoes that increase your vertical? The ones that concentrate on leg muscles while doing normal walking?
gimmick
I like Zions logo. Logos that are just the initials and number is lazzzy.
Wow, I like this
I must get me a pair of them
jordan 34 or zion 2?
That Al Horford shot tho 💪
We can't ever get away from 'that's what she said' joke can we?
I have jordan 8's for outdoor.
The kamikaze lasted me the whole year on outdoor court's
Shoe looks great. Sad it isn’t made of quality.
What does nblyydy means?
The shoe looks really great, but i dont think it would perform well on the court. But thats jus me😊
What happened to Nightwing2303? 🤔
He doesn't do performance test anymore.
i played in these shoes and i broke my friends ankles and my foot bust right through the side of the shoe
