Name: AIR JORDAN XX3 (scoring criteria: ten points is the perfect score) -
1. Appearance design (9.9) - The appearance of this crystal-bright AIR JORDAN 23 is solid Amazing! Stylish upper stitching pattern with patented technology, TPU crystal midsole with blurred light and shadow, MJ signature toe cap with unique printing technology, distinctive MJ fingerprint outsole, quite charming oversized TPU carbon fiber support tray...all of them People are fascinated by it! It is more like a handmade work of art suitable for displaying in a display cabinet under halogen spotlights. Among the three colors already on the market, I think the White North Carolina Blue color is the most beautiful, but its extremely rare quantity makes it difficult for most shoe lovers to come by. Among the remaining white/black/red and black/red colors, I personally recommend black and red because its upper is made of leather, so the toe is less likely to wrinkle than real leather, and its upper pattern is very fashionable and easier to match. . It is said that two new colors will be launched in the near future. Friends who like them can pay more attention to the empty network equipment column^.^~.
2. Comfort & Protection (9) - When you first put on this shoe, you will feel that the lining of this shoe is very smooth, but there is no any The padding is just a little padding in the extra area designed in the Achilles tendon area, so there will be a pinching feeling during the initial exercise, but after two or three exercises, the feeling will disappear and it will fit well with the foot. The fit is amazing to me. However, although this shoe is creatively designed with two V-shaped lace holes under the tongue to prevent the tongue from sliding, perhaps because the tongue is too small and thin, the actual side slipping phenomenon still occurs when wearing it. As happens all the time, this is arguably the shoe’s only flaw in terms of comfort. Due to the ultra-thin upper of this shoe, the protective performance can only be said to be quite average. After all, we cannot expect a guard shoe to provide the same protection as a center shoe. Excessive ankle protection will inevitably lead to flexibility. weakening, as the saying goes, you can’t have your cake and eat it too. However, I found that after tightening the laces of this shoe, the protection will be much improved, and it can basically prevent sprains during exercise.
3. Cushioning & Stability (9.5) The editor is very satisfied with the cushioning of this shoe. Its midsole mainly uses the I.P.S shock-absorbing system. Its overall shock-absorbing feel is slightly hard and not as soft as the general shoes using ZOOM AIR, but this is what I expected, because although the sole is too soft, it can provide perfect comfort, but it really affects the starting speed. The cushioning of this shoe can be said to provide just the right amount of shock absorption without affecting the starting speed, which is really great! The stability of this shoe can be said to have reached a whole new level. It uses a whole piece of TPU with a crystal-like shape to completely cover the midsole, and places a large piece of Carbon fiber spring plate in the TPU of the midsole, so that the anti-torsion system of the midsole becomes a double insurance configuration, providing Extremely strong stability, but it also brings about the problem of insufficient flexibility in twisting, which is inevitable.
4. Responsiveness & Grip (9.5) The midsole thickness of AJ23 is the thinnest among all JORDAN shoes, which is also in line with Jordan’s own requirements for sneakers. The thinner the midsole, the closer the foot is to the ground, so the foot has better control over the ground and the response is naturally better. Therefore, the performance of this shoe in terms of response and court feel is quite good. I personally think the outsole of this shoe is very beautiful and innovative, using MJ's fingerprint pattern. And such a novel outsole is not useless, especially in the infield, the grip performance is perfect. For brothers like me who make a lot of sudden stops and changes of direction, it is definitely even more powerful! ~
5. Durability & breathability (8.5) The material used in the outsole of AJ23 is relatively soft, so the wear resistance is really average.
And if you want to use it in the outfield, the bright TPU in the midsole will not escape the fate of being scratched. So I suggest that you don't use it in the outfield. - The breathability of this shoe can only be said to be unsatisfactory. The ventilation holes on the tongue are not very effective, and it will feel stuffy when worn in summer.
Comprehensive evaluation: A Price: 1480RMB Single shoe weight: 480g Suitable for: Defenders/small forwards Suitable venues: Indoor courts Buying suggestions: As the 23rd generation sneakers of AIR JORDAN, they must have commemorative significance I don’t need to waste my words here, besides, it also has such excellent performance and adopts a breakthrough environmental protection concept (although it has no effect on the performance of the sneakers themselves, but after all, environmental protection is the theme of today’s world~). So, if you have plenty of money, this AJ23 is definitely a must-have!
