I have this pair - went true to size - I think they fit perfect and are really comfortable. I dont play basketball but have been wearing them to the gym. Couldnt be happier. I did not have an issue using the top lace whole... maybe its different shoe to shoe but I have mine laced all the way up.
Three weeks into quarantine and deep into these videos. This was a great one. The majority of my childhood memories of what I loved are basketball, basketball shoes, and basketball shorts (fat kid). Still have bought shoes and shorts throughout my life. Watching UA-cam reviews is NEW for me. You add another layer and nuance to this love and hobby. Totally appreciate these videos. I could define nostalgia when I was under 35. Could only feel it past-35. Your feed is hit after hit of that. The feed has led to the purchases of: the Seattles, Shadow 10s, 2020 Blackcat 4, and now the Blackcat 34. Lmao. Appreciated!! Nike brand needs consultants like yourself.
@@mjo23dan Yup.... I agree with your points though, they could have kept it clean... what would have looked cool is if they had the jumpman logo, jumping over the 'eclipse' (in another colorway though). When it comes to the lack of materials, I think they were trying to go for 'as light as possible, guys' so they cut back on extra padding.
I tried on my actual size (9.5) and could barely get my foot in. I also made the mistake of only trying on the left, when my right foot is slightly bigger. I purchased the size 10 without trying on the right shoe in store (🤦🏽♂️) and when I put it on at home, my right toes were jammed into the toe box. Long story short, I’m taking them back for a size 10.5 or my money. They run very small, especially if I have to get a 10.5, which I’ve never worn.
Jordan 34 is more of synthetic materials because MJ himself said he wants to have a design back to the court. It means he wants a shoe that he would've wear if he is still playing in the nba. It is a performance sneaker and they made it lightweight and comfortable as possible for basketball. The creases on the cushion is bothersome and I dont know if how it would look after having them for a year or two.
Great vid!! I think u touched base with everything!! Agreed on just about everything all the way to the end when u talked about Jb bringin sum Zion PE colorways
My aglets fit top holes thats odd your pair doesnt. I’m loving them. Have to remember its a hoop shoe and comfort and performance are top notch in these
Dan, i like the model and think this is hot, but one point... I look this shoe a lot and he don"t remind me the 4 like 31 does with the 1 and 32, 33...
I thought the micro mesh played an integral part in the inspiration for the 34. I didn’t think 31-33 looked like their counterparts but definitely took elements from those shoes.
@@mjo23dan You're totally right, but i mean when you look (first look) 31,32,33 (the low SE) you can remember the classics probably cause elements in the silhouette, this 34 the first look don't. I'll go for this soon they (nike) release here in Brazil!
Appreciate the honesty about the shoe! As always. You didn’t mention the 3M showing on the loops and tabs... materials are not luxurious but a great looking shoe nonetheless.
Only thing I gotta say is I ordered mine online. And when I got them i realized i needed a 9 and half. The nine is really small. But no worries I have them havnt wore them yet. Waiting on the sneaker shields. 🔥🔥🔥🔥
It doesn't make sense at all, jordan brand forcing more effort for 33 to become techy sneaker, and for me that effort was flawlessly worth, but for 34 seems jordan brand only playing in comfort zone and running out if ideas..
I like the looks but there is one thing I'm a little disappointed on. I thought there wasn't much of a nod to the Air Jordan 4. The 31, 32, and 33 did a pretty good job of giving previous models the stylistic complements of older models.
Yea I coped me those day 1! I agree with you on the shoe size... I wear a 8.5 but got a size 9! They almost fit identical but it was just a little bit better feeling with the 9! I don't hoop in my Js just rock them so I would kefir how they feel to play in! That's a dope colorway so it was a must have for me! Nice video man
Your cons sound like you're just tryna find something. The lines in the phylon are good! It means it's compressing properly. You can have that boost looking foam or you can have this
@@mjo23dan that's what I'm saying. Basketball shoes with polyurethane or the harder phylon didn't compress and after a bunch of games your feet would be tired. Not a problem for rich pros but for me I'm happy to play all day without foot pain
The Blue Marvel there are other ways to make the shoe aesthetically pleasing. I just don’t like seeing my sneakers creased out the box. But that’s me. I’m sure you as well as others have a different opinion. One thing I do for additional comfort is swapping out the insole.
I revisited this video after buying 3 different colorways of the 34. I am very happy with them. So light and comfortable. Surprisingly good ankle stability as well. The 33 SE and the 34 got me back in the mix after being away for a while. HOWEVER...I am very disappointed with the latest colors, specially the amount of pink used and an outright LGBTQ flag on an otherwise nice pair of white/silver model. Love the channel. Keep it up. Screw the haters.
Tried Jordan 34 in store, it felt good on my feet and somehow good looking however I was quiet disappointed because the design is too simple for its price and also the padding on each sides of the shoes were so thin... I felt it might snap and kinda felt it needed more padding!
The last hole at the top is that tight so that people who wear their shoes untied (which many do) will stay in place It seems like all of your “cons” were u just looking for anything to say.. u cannot see your foot through the side mesh 😂, and if the shoe didn’t crease somewhat on the sole it would take away much of the cushion which was obviously created for BASKETBALL.. comon man
Appreciate your opinions but nobody is 100% happy with the shoe as is otherwise we wouldn’t be having our own opinions and be happy with just anything they put in front of us. I believe there are opportunities to correct design elements of a shoe. That’s what Nike had tried to appropriate when the Nike Kobe Protro line was introduced.
jordan 29 is the lightest
I copped 2 pair over the last week. I love the look of the 34s but I will say these shoes are tight and that half size up is a must for me
Just ordered mine can't wait to play in them.I love the way they look.
they do look nice thinking about buying a pair
Jordan brand says the 38 represents the 38 points MJ scored vs Orlando when he switched back to Number 23 from 45.
I believe the tabs on the sides is mainly for opening the throat of the shoe ones your taking the shoe off. Works flawless.

How tough is the thin part in the hole at the bottom of the shoe? I wanna buy one for casual wear but afraid it would just snap
@@trojan7x2 I've been wearing mine causally for a few days, and they seem tough. Plus I'm a big guy.

Thank you! That means a lot and glad you appreciate the videos.
I agree we need those Zion's colorway! Nice review bro!
00:50 Your site looks pretty solid.
16:39 It looks pretty good on feet.
Great review bro.
The reflective semi circle tab on the tongue is supposed to represent an 'eclipse' a la 'Eclipse plate'
That seems to be the theme throughout the shoe
@@mjo23dan Yup.... I agree with your points though, they could have kept it clean... what would have looked cool is if they had the jumpman logo, jumping over the 'eclipse' (in another colorway though).

It’s dope. Will cop this weekend.

Any update ? Have they torn
Does then plate change color over time? Mine have and I only sported them a couple of times.
Thank’s for the review mate, nicelly done ! Jumpman LA I see it !!!
Currently wearing mine and your eyelets does fit the top round hatchet.. it works like a lock for your laces and it helps incredibly with lacing
sole of the 2009 and the see-through like the 2010. excellent shoe. I love these
I like those with the Jumpman better

Great review! Love the b-roll of the details of the shoe in the end! Kudos MJO23DAN! You deserve more subscribers!
Teddy Sage Studios thank you 🙏
Wasn't really feeling the blue void so waited til the 10th to get these instead... Should be arriving tomorrow... Great content Marvin
blk wht red=classic, very similar to the "black toe" colorway.
Great vid!! I think u touched base with everything!! Agreed on just about everything all the way to the end when u talked about Jb bringin sum Zion PE colorways
Copped the blue voids. They run true to size
Do a review on the air Jordan 34 se shroud
My aglets fit top holes thats odd your pair doesnt. I’m loving them. Have to remember its a hoop shoe and comfort and performance are top notch in these
They fit I just have to push them in harder. This was my initial reaction so my bad didn’t take the time to actually do that.
MJO23DAN no worries man it is a little tight. I dont go all the way up anyway they offer great support as is. Great review as always my friend
Is there a difference between the 34se and the 34se pf?
I have a review of the SE here - ua-cam.com/video/osD1VrEmoXE/v-deo.html

@MJO23DAN --- Originally the price was $175.00
Only thing I gotta say is I ordered mine online. And when I got them i realized i needed a 9 and half. The nine is really small. But no worries I have them havnt wore them yet. Waiting on the sneaker shields. 🔥🔥🔥🔥

It’s a performance shoe, it ain’t like these retros, these retros not really made for performance nowadays
I wouldn’t say it’s not a performance shoe because they were originally designed for MJ to play in. I think you mean the tech is dated.
I like the looks but there is one thing I'm a little disappointed on. I thought there wasn't much of a nod to the Air Jordan 4. The 31, 32, and 33 did a pretty good job of giving previous models the stylistic complements of older models.
In other words, I'm going to continue with copping retros 3 through 13 LOL.....(Oh and excluding 8's and 9's LOL)
Man these are growing on me. They’re different but I think it’s a tight J shoe. I think I want a pair lol
Yea I coped me those day 1! I agree with you on the shoe size... I wear a 8.5 but got a size 9! They almost fit identical but it was just a little bit better feeling with the 9! I don't hoop in my Js just rock them so I would kefir how they feel to play in! That's a dope colorway so it was a must have for me! Nice video man
Your cons sound like you're just tryna find something. The lines in the phylon are good! It means it's compressing properly. You can have that boost looking foam or you can have this
Basketball shoes never had this look though. My point is they now use softer phylon to accommodate for comfort
@@mjo23dan that's what I'm saying. Basketball shoes with polyurethane or the harder phylon didn't compress and after a bunch of games your feet would be tired. Not a problem for rich pros but for me I'm happy to play all day without foot pain

I guess they gave up on the retro inspired looks...
Some of the 4 peaks thru the badges and the net upper
38 could possibly mean Flu game point total? Kind of fits with the XX having 69.
Possible too

You can def lace them all the way up lol 38 is the amount of pts he scored in the Flu game,
The last hole at the top is that tight so that people who wear their shoes untied (which many do) will stay in place

Dope 🔥
Just got mines today.. Dope!
Any guess for when they get discounted?
Doubt this colorway will be
You can check the link in the description for a slight discount on the AJ 34.
discount? lmao, if you don't get it soon, they'll be sold out, especially this colorway
Oh wow.. a 20 minute'er
👌👌🙏🙏
Yo you have a lot of cons why u buy the sneakers lol...
It’s called being a consumer.
