As someone who grew up playing basketball in the 90s, there's a reason for that stiff carbon fiber shank plate in the 11, 12 and 13. It keeps your foot from OVERflexing, which when you try to bend the shoe with your hands, it's gonna feel like a brick. But figure your bodyweight on it, even a smaller guy like you, running at speed, jumping, cutting, that puts a literal ton of force on your shoes. Seriously, look at what happened to Zion Williamson last year. That would not happen in a tougher, leather shoe with a reasonable shank and supportive design. Zion should be wearing Lebrons, not the PG shoes he was wearing. Maybe the Jordan 34 was built with him in mind with that flightplate shank system.
Cheryl hey I just got some new J1 co.jp. I don’t want to care about creases but would you say to just wear them all out and enjoy what you have? Do you think force fields are dumb to protect the bend? I’m on the fence of caring but I don’t want to care lol. If that makes sense.
@nellek970 sometimes you have to take what you can get. I got a pair of the "Radio Raheems." Definitely not symbolically the right color for a white guy. I didn't know anything about "Do The Right Thing" til way after I got them. But be that as it may, I stand by that they're possibly the best of the early Air Jordans (1-6) to actually play in. Even if you can't get an OG colorway, get A pair. They're worth it.
@nellek970 for the casual Hooper, Flyknit is probably best. No break in, and they don't lose their shape like full grain leather. However, I agree with you. If I'm actually playing ball, even if it's casual, I'd much rather have something Foamposite or leather. Back when I played a lot (a few...few years back), my shoes that i used for several years were Lebron 4s. And in high school, leather Reeboks. Now, I'll play in any number of leather retro Js that still ball.
I always liked the 5's and 6's for playing in, but the 11's are probably better for me. Very comfortable. Aesthetics, always the IV. It was my dream shoe as a kid and it still holds that spot even though they're literally on my feet. Personally I didn't like anything after 11. They're no doubt better quality than the early Js, with better tech, but they all just seem so boot-like and clunky. I know it's probably silliness to most people, but I'm not a fan of Zoom air. I know, I know. I just don't like the feel. Overall for performance and aesthetics combined I'd go with 11s (Dec 11, we got a Cool Grey drop!). On the court and on the street they are just stunners and go with a wide array of fashion. Still though, I'd like to go with IVs every time even though they're played out fashion-wise and aren't the most comfortable to play in because of the old tech. Infrared, Cement or Military Blue if you please.
I love some of the newer Jordan's like the 34,35 and 36 for playing in, I know they're not retros but they are great for court performance, the 34s are pretty good for outside courts.My top 3 favorite retros for playing in would be the 13's,11's and 5's... If I'm doing a top 5 the 8 and 14 are included
Yeah. I buy sneakers from those guys. They buy them, never wear them and then I get them when they get bored of them. I do keep the boxes for if I ever want to sell them. They would crap themselves if they knew how much I wear them. The only ones I don't wear outside are my Flu Game 12s. Only in the gym.
Just coming across this one (only recently sub’d this year so I’m going back through the SoleBrothers catalog to watch previous videos). Of the retros to ball in I’m going with the 13. Doubled up on the black flints which is what I now wear on the driveway court and while practicing with my daughter at the gym. It’s also a lifestyle shoe for me, so there won’t be a shortage of 13s in my lineup ☝🏾
The Jordan 1 is my favorite ngl especially outside because the traction is crazy good. I like the hard rubber and tbh traction is the most important for me when it comes to shoes. Also I have flat feet so they don’t hurt my feet at all.
It was the last time he wore the shoes, when he decided to use it one more time on MSG. To that point the Jordan brand was already in the 13-15 range of shoes, so his feet were used to the better technology. He wore the Jordan 1s for the entire 1984-85 season, he would be insane if he had bleeding feet since the first game and decided to go with the shoe for the 82 games
Man those 3s were super limited i couldnt cop as much as i tried it was a no go then i see you hooped in em lord i liked to died lol. Keep up the great content bro!!!
You totally for got that you did a Jordan 12 dismantled video 3 years ago, in the video you were talking about the full length zoom and the carbon fibre plate everything lol
Here's my top Jordans for casual/aesthetic and performance/on-court: Casual Wear/Aesthetics: 1. Jordan 3 2. Jordan 1 3. Jordan 4 4. Jordan 11 5. Jordan 2 (The 2s are super underrated, I like them. They deserve more love) On-Court: 1. Jordan 13 (if your looking for amazing lateral stability, amazing support, and great cushioning without sacrificing court feel and responsiveness, these should be your number one option over ANY other shoe from any other brand. What's crazy is that these were released in 1997/98) 2. Jordan 12 (These are amazing once broken in. It takes a while, but the break in process is worth it. That full length zoom is crazy) 3. Jordan 34 4. Jordan 11 5. Jordan 29
Honestly i have a pair of 1s they’re one of the most uncomfortable Jordan’s to me the id definitely rather play in my 3s, 4s, or 6s they mad comfy and work perfectly for hoops
as i own a lot of them... around that.. but throw 6 in them since i like that design... but as to wear and walk around it depend where am i going... long walk.. stand in line for new sneaker or in the snow...
Don’t know why you base it off of how much they bent in the toe. Like the 34 has that torsion bar that acts like a spring on foot when your moving. It’s not supposed to flex like some flip flops
my top 5 jordans for basketball are 1.Jordan 34 2.Jordan 7 3.Jordan 6 4.Jordan 9 low 5.Jordan 11 Horizon they are so comfy even though i have a wide feet
Here are Michael Jordan's & Sammy's (Sole brother) Favorite shoes: Michael Jordan's Favorite shoes (Overall) 1. Air Jordan 11's 2. Air Jordan 3's 3. Air Jordan 12's / 13's Sammy's (Sole brother) Favorite shoes (Aesthetics & Performance) Aesthetics: 1. Air Jordan 1's (Obviously haha) 2. 3's 3. 12's, 12 Lows Performance: 1. Air Jordan 13's 2. Air Jordan 34's 3. Air Jordan 28's (SE) 4. Air Jordan 11's 5. Air Jordan 14's
The Jordan True Flights are my favorite for balling as well as the 6s Edit: I got some Air Jordan 4s last year and for me I'd say they're better indoors instead of outdoors. I also got the Concord 11s and they're good on both indoor and outdoor but I'd rather use them for indoor balling. I've also played in the 12s indoor mostly and I'd say they're pretty nice.
I'd love to get another pair of 11's (Concord) the only thing that makes me not get them is the soles are going to turn yellow decently quick, and just my opinion it makes the shoe look terrible.. But they're probably still my favorite Jordan's (Retros) to play in..
A this point it’s basically the sole brother lol
ikr where is donny gone?
Oh shut up
he got married I heard
I realize I'm pretty off topic but does anybody know of a good website to stream new series online ?
@Emery Marcus flixportal :P

My god dang respect for u writing an entire paragraph explaining this u are a legend
How everyone getting mad that he creased shoes. Don’t you all realize he played basketball in them they are not even close to DS
Crease them Jordans HAHAHAHA they’re basketball shoes at the end of the day.
well jordan 1... are know to crease right after test wear them....
Exactly he wore them for basketball already so looks are out the window
all these metrosexuals crying about him creasing it lmao
Cheryl hey I just got some new J1 co.jp. I don’t want to care about creases but would you say to just wear them all out and enjoy what you have? Do you think force fields are dumb to protect the bend? I’m on the fence of caring but I don’t want to care lol. If that makes sense.
Dam so true .. there's no way avoiding that
13s and 11s are by far my favorite on court Jordan’s !!
I second the 10. Also, the 2s still ball. Good sleeper shoe
Most definitely
34s are good
@nellek970 sometimes you have to take what you can get. I got a pair of the "Radio Raheems." Definitely not symbolically the right color for a white guy.

13's are elite
I completely agree with your number 1... I love playing in the 13s
Hopefully Jordan makes Jordan By You so we can make our own.
doubt it since they want to you to buy more all the time..
Doubt that since everyone would just create og pairs likely. And sell them as the “real” version.
I always liked the 5's and 6's for playing in, but the 11's are probably better for me. Very comfortable. Aesthetics, always the IV. It was my dream shoe as a kid and it still holds that spot even though they're literally on my feet. Personally I didn't like anything after 11.

I love your videos, because they’re very helpful
Yo your collection is illmatic....keep up the good work kid..

meanwhile hypebeasts keep their J's inside boxes with shoe trees
Yeah. I buy sneakers from those guys. They buy them, never wear them and then I get them when they get bored of them. I do keep the boxes for if I ever want to sell them. They would crap themselves if they knew how much I wear them. The only ones I don't wear outside are my Flu Game 12s. Only in the gym.
I just love how Jordan's are perfectly fit for any sport just perfection.
I agree on number one💯played with them for a while and they were great on the court
Just coming across this one (only recently sub’d this year so I’m going back through the SoleBrothers catalog to watch previous videos). Of the retros to ball in I’m going with the 13.

It’s also a lifestyle shoe for me, so there won’t be a shortage of 13s in my lineup ☝🏾
Those Indiglo 14's bring me back. That was the first pair of Jordan's I ever bought.
The Jordan 1 is my favorite ngl especially outside because the traction is crazy good. I like the hard rubber and tbh traction is the most important for me when it comes to shoes. Also I have flat feet so they don’t hurt my feet at all.
Air JOrdan 13s My Favorite!!!! Both looks and performance
11s second
I say, the playoff 12’s are the go to shoe alll day, has that killer vibe to it
SOLE SQUAD!
the top 2 shoes are also my favorite very comfortable and it really has good traction.
Have you tried adding the converse lunarlon insoles? Makes a difference for the 1s to play in. Or get one of those full zoom insoles from amazon.
What happend to the second dude?
he had to leave due to his job
doesn’t feel the same without him but sammys still doing well props to him for working hard like that
He went into the music industry, his name now is Vanilla Ice.
I was watching the Last Dance Documentary and Michael said after he played his 1st game with the Jordan 1s, his feet were bleeding
the shoes were a size too small apparently (some website I googled to double check). Socks soaked in blood tho ;'(
Not first time but first time in long time
It was the last time he wore the shoes, when he decided to use it one more time on MSG. To that point the Jordan brand was already in the 13-15 range of shoes, so his feet were used to the better technology. He wore the Jordan 1s for the entire 1984-85 season, he would be insane if he had bleeding feet since the first game and decided to go with the shoe for the 82 games
Favorite Air Jordans To Hoop In:
1.Air Jordan 3
2.Air Jordan 1
3.Air Jordan 11
4.Air Jordan 12
5.Air Jordan 13
The last dance was amazing!
Fax
performance wise the 12 lows are my go to outdoor shoes to hoop in
What about the 7s I’m thinking about getting them or the 5
Luke 11:28
But he said, “Blessed rather are those who hear the word of God and keep it!”🙌
AMEN
The 5 is soo good in the court!!!
Man those 3s were super limited i couldnt cop as much as i tried it was a no go then i see you hooped in em lord i liked to died lol. Keep up the great content bro!!!
I loved the 9s back in 1995 when I was a So. in HS. The 6s were great for my 8th grade season in 1992 (even though the 7s were out by then.)
Call me crazy but 11's are my favorite aesthetic wise and the Jordan 1 flyknit is my favorite to hoop in.
It would’ve been nice if you did a performance list with the shoes that Jordan got to wear instead of all of them still a great vid tho
I love 12's they are so clean and comfortable love them (my favorite color is the French blue)
i play in my wolf grey 12s, i always get bubbles on my toes and its a pain but gotta stay classic even on court
Can you do a Can it basketball-Air Jordan 1 Zoom Fearless? I really want to see that
he did... problem these guy are small and don't weight much so their feeling is not good enough info so big tall guy...
The 28se is my favorite shoe to play in of all time. Easily, I haven't played in my 34 yet
My jordan 11 low barons were amazing on the court
i like the 7s. modern looking to this day and very usable
You totally for got that you did a Jordan 12 dismantled video 3 years ago, in the video you were talking about the full length zoom and the carbon fibre plate everything lol
I love 5s and 6s on Court 👌🏽👌🏽
my favorite Jordan's to play in are the 13s ,the 8s for the amount of lock down
Don't forget the Jordan 4's they are lit 🔥🔥
Are Jordan 6 good for performance!?
Imagine people paying $250 for basketball shoes and being too afraid to play basketball in them
12s are great for concrete double rim basketball
10s are 🔥👌
Huge fan of 11,12 and 14
Retro 14, retro 7, and retro 11 are best playing shoes on the court.
For some reasons the 14s hurt my feet
How you liken the international flight 12's???,just gottem,I think their the best casual ones
I like jordan 13 the most because it is stylish and some nba player wears it like Lance Stephenson
13 is just not great to wear for lifesyle...nor resell apart of flit...
they trash.....
I'm shocked the 29's didn't make your list. I'd take those over the 12 in a heartbeat if we're just talking shoes to play in.
1's have a heel air sole but you can barely feel it and wouldn't even know if it was there.
Have you been playing in Jordan 10s ?
Those shoes hella comfy!!
They are
The grip is terrible on the 10’s though
Belle vidéo
hey?does the jordan max aura 5 hoop?
The 34s are one of my favorite performance shoes
I am gonna buy basketball shoes for first time.

Y’all couldn’t do this for the LeBron line???
Honestly i have a pair of 1s they’re one of the most uncomfortable Jordan’s to me the id definitely rather play in my 3s, 4s, or 6s they mad comfy and work perfectly for hoops
Do a does it basketball air max plus
I tend to stand by my Jordan 13s
Just based on looks:
1: 5
2: 4
3: 3
4: 1
5: 13
I feel like 5's are the perfect balance between nike shoe and jordan shoe just like 3 and 4
as i own a lot of them... around that.. but throw 6 in them since i like that design... but as to wear and walk around it depend where am i going... long walk.. stand in line for new sneaker or in the snow...

Top 5 best JORDAN’s to wear

my fav to hoop in
Don’t know why you base it off of how much they bent in the toe. Like the 34 has that torsion bar that acts like a spring on foot when your moving. It’s not supposed to flex like some flip flops
The Jordan 1 is the GOAT of tractions
I agree with you on the 13 Sam. It makes me sick when dudes wear 13 to school.
Bro I remember when u used to say you didn't like lows(like 3 years ago) that much because your ankles were weak, but now what the hell happened?
You know, people change opinions, otherwise we would think like a 3 year old for the rest of our lives
he should review jordan point lane

12’s are great for my feet comfort wuse
Posts video of u playing
bro jordan max aura4 is the best for me!!!!!
So is Sammy now in full control of the Channel and the income? And that’s why he’s posting so many videos without
No 29’s??
14 and 13 are the best performance wise
What about the 6s
The 10s are a softer version of the 11! I think they’re the best old jordan to play in super supportive and soft but traction ain’t the best
13,4 and 3
The Jordan True Flights are my favorite for balling as well as the 6s
Edit: I got some Air Jordan 4s last year and for me I'd say they're better indoors instead of outdoors. I also got the Concord 11s and they're good on both indoor and outdoor but I'd rather use them for indoor balling. I've also played in the 12s indoor mostly and I'd say they're pretty nice.
I'd love to get another pair of 11's (Concord) the only thing that makes me not get them is the soles are going to turn yellow decently quick, and just my opinion it makes the shoe look terrible.. But they're probably still my favorite Jordan's (Retros) to play in..
What about the 35
I like high jordans just cause it makes me stand high when i shoot.
Bro just started a war with sneaker heads when he “tested the flexibility”💀💀💀
Me when he started creasing his 14’s:😱
