The 90s were the best time for sneakers, PERIOD. Companies were putting out hundreds of different types of shoes that all looked dope af. And the quality was there too. Nowadays all the shoes are trying to look sleek and socklike. And when they do retro, the materials feel like cardboard. They have to start making more new designs like the protro series from Kobe. Performance with the looks.
I enjoyed the 90's for kicks personally but evolution must happen. A lot of those sneakers we loved were designed by a few designers. They were legends but that's like only stopping at the 90's for rap. You are missing out on some gems if you did. Yes the materials better in one aspect but the leather was not breathable, the shoes weighed so much more and the cushioning was just ok. I remember a lot of wearing 2 socks, sweaty feet and my sneakers feeling like bricks by the 4th quarter of games. Now you can play forever and feel bouncy even as I'm older. I don't agree on how the prices can be so considerably more for a thin fabric vs leather but that's inflation
Dope video! I like the deep breakdown on the technology and materials in the shoe. The cool thing about having thermoplastic elastomers in the shoe as well is TPE material is typically more recyclable than just plain rubber products because of its plastic component, which helps reduce waste. But Jordan Brand is definitely breaking the mold here with the 34! I’m interested to see how receptive people are to this futuristic design!
The eclipse plate is made of Pebax which is a material that also provides energy return. One Chinese reviewer said that the plate may even provide a degree of shock absorption.
It's the fashion, style and premium feel behind the Air Jordan signature shoes that have made them great in the past. I can bet a huge percentage of their customers never buy signature Jordan's to hoop in, me being one of them. I'm not going to tear my Jay's up on a court because I rock them for style not game play. This is where I believe they're making a mistake and why futuristic signature Jordan's have sat on shelves when OG retros sale out day 1. That's what the brand needs to observe. What percentage of their sales are for hooping and street wear. If street wear wins which I'm nearly positive it will, then that's where they need put their focus and revamp. I don't understand why it's so hard for them to do what they did 30 years ago, and that's make something extremely dope, not half ass or mediocre. Just my opinion.
They are pretty cool but comfort and durability is the biggest concern... A quick fix for the ankle area is the use of 3M tape to hold that inner piece down therefore reducing irritability... I'm interested in how these will hold up laterally, I'm told that the mesh strengthens as it flexes so we will see when it comes to players like Zion... Keep up the good work bro, you're one of the better UA-camrs out here...
the 32s are by far my favorite on the court, crazy traction, I didn't even fool with the 33s, i just didnt like the way they looked, but just got the 34s, and i was surprised at how light the were. Almost flimsy; can't wait to see what they are like on the court.
I have 2 pairs of 32s. 1 for the court 1 for everyday wear. Im dying to find another 32 low for the gym. Coz i have wide n flat feet and the 32s were the first pair of shoes that didnt hurt my feet even after 15 hours of standing and walking. Plus they look sickkk
What is up with the 29s? Ive heard so many people lately talking about the 29s were the best feeling and playing shoes. I'm gonna have to get me a pair
Pedro Silva I ended up waiting and getting the center of gravity 35s. I love them but haven’t been able to use them much because everywhere’s shut right now.
Pedro Silva nice man, the Chicago’s are the nicest 34s imo. I can’t say anything bad about the 35s other than they take a while to break in and hurt your feet at first but I’ve loved them since I’ve broke them in
I believe JB believes it needs some performance cred...& it can afford to take risks as it’s coming from a huge money machine ...sales are at record highs as are PROFITS so u think they care if this flops...they can do no wrong except sneakers are way overpriced ...but it is what it is...because people are willing to pay for a perceived slice of “greatness “ we all aspire 2 be like Mike the GOAT 🐐
I dont see why they have to sacrifice style for performance when they were able to combine both 30 years ago. The 3 through 11 are arguably the golden age for Jordan designs (and the standard IMO), and for their time were the cutting edge of performance sneakers as well. The 29 and 30 had the potential to probably be classics in style because of the woven tech they could design anything they wanted and for the post part underwhelmed in what they delivered. If i still played I could appreciate the tech aspect of the shoe more, but since i only wear them casually my choice of sneakers will always be "what looks good" and that's why the retro's sell, because they look good. If Jordan Brand did a better job of combining style and performance they wouldn't have to rely on retros to make most of their money.
We go do need light weight shoe im between 197 too 202 what the best basketball shoe 1 traction 2 supports 3 cusion 4 you can feel the zoom. 4 And bounced in the shoe
Well it’s September 2020 and I bought the AirJordan34 SE ALL-STAR CHICAGO AND MY RIGHT ZOOM UNIT DEFLATED MY RIGHT SOLE HAS A IN CURVE IN IT NOW THEYRE JUST DECORATION ON MY SHELF AND SINCE THE AIR JORDAN 35 HAS THE SAME ZOOM UNIT SOLES I’LL PASS ON THEM
smh today I feel it's more about the performance which is weird to me. back in the 90's , early 2000's it was more about street wear or going to clubs, bbq's and what not. Today it's about performance, being light. plates, mesh all that bs. I'm not paying $180 for shoes to ball in. sorry.....jordan brand should have two designs for all that. one for performance and another for outerwear, concentrating on more stylish concepts like earlier jordans. It could be similar but separate them for people that ball and people that like to be saucy in the streets!
Like your videos...but lets keep it real. Real ballas have maybe 3 pairs of serious basketball shoes! One pair dedicated to outdoors the other 2 for indoors! Sneaker heads are the biggest consumers along with rapper fanboys!! And last and least "dopeboys"! 🤣 Nice vid!!
Mr Slade I think the 34 LACKS THE ESSENCE OF THE VIBE THAT CAME IN THE 31,32,33, TO ME IT LACKS TO THIN AS A BASKETBALL PLAYER I WANT A SHOE THAT PROTECTS THE FEET FROM BEING STEP ON THE DESIGN WAS JUST TOO BASIC AND HONESTLY WE'RE PAYING 180$ FOR A SOLE !
I copped a pair of the Bulls colorway and they feel great and look great on feet. The dual zoom air cushioning with the eclipse plate is extra comfortable. I'm gonna to grab a few color ways of this model.
kimboss21 he ends his sentences with his voice going up instead of down like normal speaking people. So it always sounds like a question. Some you tubers use this style os speech to sound neutral on a subject.
The shoe is a great in performance however it lacks durability I'm just 6 foot weighing in at around 180lbs and after a month my left shoe sole completely burst It 's a very good shoe however not worth the hefty pricetag especially if it will only serve you for a month in addition to being a student just like myself ...
I think Jordan Brand has gone in the right direction in every way with the 34s.Looking forward to the upcoming releases this season
And 35 also
I love the fact that Jordan brand it's getting back to the basics. Basketball shoes. Great Piece.
Is it me or does he kinna look like lil tecca but bald
I think he kinda looks like Pharrell Williams
Hyeena pepe ur kinda right he does almost
Lil who?
Its you

Shut your old ass up
what are some of your favorite sneakers from the 90s?
The shoes from the 90's were original ideas g not recycled retro bullshit
You and Zion aren't DIFFERENT. You LYIN

The white, blk, red colorway is so nice! Cant wait to get em Everyone is loving these
Im not
The problem with comparing these general releases to Zion's PE's is that Zion's PE's are specifically made for his foot and general releases aren't!
How has Jacque dropped so hard he’s a solid UA-camr he deserves more views
Nah Nightwing buried his ass
Just got mine today. The new Black on black on black released Feb 5th 2020

Are they comfy for everyday use ?
I love the 34’s. It’s great for on the court - what basketball shoes are made for!
I like em.. I have liked the 31, 33, and now the 34. Giving a nod to OGs I really loved the 31s mixed with my 2nd fav model. I'm hyped for these
I really like the 34 its light enough for basketball and it's good enough looking for life style a perfect mix
the 32s are by far my favorite on the court, crazy traction, I didn't even fool with the 33s, i just didnt like the way they looked, but just got the 34s, and i was surprised at how light the were. Almost flimsy; can't wait to see what they are like on the court.

Cant beat jordan 4 camo, its not cuz its the only jordan pair i have
@@sid31196 they look fugly lets be honest
Can you do a review on the amber or snow leopard colorway because it has a different material on the upper
I'm 150 pounds and my eclipse plate cracked in half the same month I got them only used it 4- 5 times.
Thank you bro! Much love
I think this shoe is dope I like the black ones you were showing and I like them and all gray nice
i only own 2 pair of J's Cyber Monday Jordan 3 and 5Lab3. this 34 black/white looks to be the 3rd
Awesome video! Thanks for all the info!
Sometimes less is more and this colorway is clean and 🔥🔥🔥 in addition it's affordable
180 dollars isn't affordable
Mr. Jump Facts
This guy said him and Zion are completely different players. This man is talking like he's in the NBA or something LOL
Hahaha
Gary E. Ko L
you understand that you don’t have to play in the NBA to be a basketball player right?
@@benr8448 ye you do have to be a ball
@Gary E. Ko you hard bro
Nice shoe ready to see more color wave they need to black out the bottom
You got those for free?
Gotta change my job😀
They wont look good on you
김동준 H8R
Son if I had these shoe in high school I would have killed it. Best ball shoes bye far
i wish i can have a pair of shoe like that once in my life😢
What size shoe do you wear?
What is up with the 29s? Ive heard so many people lately talking about the 29s were the best feeling and playing shoes. I'm gonna have to get me a pair
Nothing really, just one of the best shoes to hoop in, in all sneaker history.
Air jordan 1...4....11...29...31...and now 34...the dopest
When will they have something other than a white sole?
I still regularly wear my 34s. Jordan Brand got these right.
I’m honestly wondering how can they make anything better
Jac knows his shoes 👍🏻
Haven't seen this color way yet when will this color way be available
I think middle of November
People have been saying that underplate is cracking.
Should I pick up a pair of these now or wait til the 35s come out? Don’t know what to do especially because of coronavirus
What u end up doin?
Pedro Silva I ended up waiting and getting the center of gravity 35s. I love them but haven’t been able to use them much because everywhere’s shut right now.
@@kieranmclaughlin625 nice I just picked up the 34 Chicago’s and debating on getting 34 lows or 35s. Appreciate ur reply!
Pedro Silva nice man, the Chicago’s are the nicest 34s imo. I can’t say anything bad about the 35s other than they take a while to break in and hurt your feet at first but I’ve loved them since I’ve broke them in
I know this may be a dumb question but what is unlocked zoom air?
I’m sure Zion gets a new pair every game so he doesn’t need to worry about them holding up for the season.
Pretty sure he had new pg’s when he blew them out. Jordan def need to be a little worried
Jonathan Deale. Lol very true. That’s another reason he’ll be wearing a new pair every game so that’s less likely to happen.
Every player gets new pairs for every game. They also can use the same pair if they wont to like tatom does
I believe JB believes it needs some performance cred...& it can afford to take risks as it’s coming from a huge money machine ...sales are at record highs as are PROFITS so u think they care if this flops...they can do no wrong except sneakers are way overpriced ...but it is what it is...because people are willing to pay for a perceived slice of “greatness “ we all aspire 2 be like Mike the GOAT 🐐
Nice video bro
Idk if it was by design but the entire midsole looks like an updated version of the aj4 imo, fire 🗣
IceBerg Nitro It does. The big cove is representing the Air bubble.
@@kustoo must cop, thanks for the info and keep up the great work. Salute 📝💯
Those look SUPER dope on foot!! 😍
I wish more basketball shoes had no laces like the Adidas predators soccer boots
Ye man it is too difficult to tie them correctly
Jacques Slade which is the best colorway for you?
Think I'll be picking these up
jacques I know you did not just do that in front of my face bro I might just have to confiscate those 4:55
I like to shoot in the many different colors it comes in look nice wonder if they're good on the court
Solid viewer in Philippines
Dopo videos man!
Yes, back to pure performance!
I dont see why they have to sacrifice style for performance when they were able to combine both 30 years ago.
The 3 through 11 are arguably the golden age for Jordan designs (and the standard IMO), and for their time were the cutting edge of performance sneakers as well.

Bro what are you wearing? That’s dope.
If you’re talking about his shirt its Adidas Pharell Hu Holi shirt.
Motoholic Nepal nice.
I like the design but the one that I copped is badly constructed
Gotta love the fact that he's wearing a Indian (Hindu) festival (Holi) inspired ADIDAS tee while talking about Jordan.
Jacques that shirt is fire!!!! Where can I cop?
Melvin Jefferson I bought that shirt from END. It’s a Pharell Williams x adidas colab

Jordan xxx4 is designed for Zion.... who tear up a PG shoe..
Why to buy Jordan 34 when you can buy Dame shoe which performs better in 1/3 of the price ??
Dames are not better
XXX3 got a gimmick of flight. Now there is a basketball shoe to enhance players.
Says a guy who cant crossover properly
When I looked at those I thought they were Curry's
pump 360 Curry failed to three peat so now he's wearing air jordan
Shame they called these jordan 34's
Regards bro from 507 Panamá 🇵🇦
I see the Lebron 17 in the backround
where are the size 15??

Air jordan is for basketball but now it's fashion
There's no reason they can't just make these with luxury or different materials.
Jacques lost some sauce
Mr Slade I think the 34 LACKS THE ESSENCE OF THE VIBE THAT CAME IN THE 31,32,33, TO ME IT LACKS TO THIN AS A BASKETBALL PLAYER I WANT A SHOE THAT PROTECTS THE FEET FROM BEING STEP ON THE DESIGN WAS JUST TOO BASIC AND HONESTLY WE'RE PAYING 180$ FOR A SOLE !
looks like a motogp shoes

How durable is that thin portion or the hollow part at the bottom? Would it snap if i accidentally step in a stone or something?
Why does he sound like hes always asking a question?
kimboss21 he ends his sentences with his voice going up instead of down like normal speaking people. So it always sounds like a question. Some you tubers use this style os speech to sound neutral on a subject.
Cuz hes not sure about his opinion
Can you give me a jordan 34 size 13
Seriously y would anyone play this much for shoes just to play street ball
Shoe is nice
Not a fan of the mesh
Just get the jump man 2020
The shoe is a great in performance however it lacks durability
I'm just 6 foot weighing in at around 180lbs and after a month my left shoe sole completely burst
It 's a very good shoe however not worth the hefty pricetag especially if it will only serve you for a month in addition to being a student just like myself ...
Do you take these outdoors?
Did he something about actually playing ball in these? Are you crazy Sir
Damn I want them
They look like pumas
