Annual big news of JORDAN BRAND must be AJ series. It launches kinds of retro OG and co-branded sneakers to lead the sporting trend. Meanwhile, it also make unremitting efforts to launch top-level sneakers to adapt to the contemporary basketball matches. JORDAN BRAND attracts the young people’s attention. So the new Air Jordan 33 are awaited and expected by many people this year. Here we bring the comprehensive evaluation of Air Jordan 33 to you.
Packing Part:
In recent years, the shoebox of Air jordan is by uncovering the box from above, like the box of electronic products. This design doesn’t consider to be portable, like the ordinary flip-open cover shoebox. It needs to make the shoebox and box cover separately, not one-piece design. This kind of shoebox costs higher. This design is very special, let us feel very formal to open it, like a gift. The shoebox continues to use the high quality thickened paper. Some guys may have seen the red fabric on both sides of the shoebox cover which is convenient to open the box. The details are very exquisite. It uses a plastic paper like tin foil paper to instead normal paper for coinciding with the theme of science and technology. We can find that JORDAN’s new product get high status from the package.
Appearance:
Since AJ31, the appearance of JORDAN present generation salutes to the design of AJ first and second generation. Although we may not be able to see the same part of Air Jordan 33 and AJ three generations from the picture. But you an see the whole shape of this shoes is similar to 3 generations. If looking down, you may feel the shoes is big from downward angle. The innovative vamp seems to have current deconstruction style. Overall speaking, the shoes is quite satisfactory. For the color match, I prefer to the pair of black with white & gold. What do you think?
Vamp:
It can’t avoid the configuration for a pair of basketball shoes. First of all, the biggest stunt of Air Jordan 33 is the roulette. We can see an instruction of how to use it in the shoebox. The roulette is in the bottom of the shoes. After wearing the shoes, you can pull the red rope to tense the shoes. It will be loose when pulling the red rope and fine line. It’s easy for using it. The inner configuration and ankle foam in the lining is very comfortable.
Traction:
The forefoot use big area of ZOOM with FLYSPEED plate. The rear sole is hexagon ZOOM. The ZOOM of forefoot still protrude the ground. The fringe of ZOOM is smooth. This design make it not be easier to be cracked like AJ28.
It’s easy to wear it. You will fell a little tight on the midfoot when wearing AJ33 in the begining. It may due to the inner shape design.So we suggest to do some warm-up, then wear the shoes. Otherwise, you will feel ache for a while.
For the size, you can choose the normal size to grip the foot more tightly. But if you like to leave some space in the shoes, you can choose bigger half of the size.
Cushioning: 9 Scores
For cushion, the evolving half sole is with big area of ZOOM and FLYSPEED plate. The crural feeling is wonderful. There is no special crural feeling for the rear sole.
Anyway, it’s very stable as it has eligible cushion and does’t use thicker midsole.
Torsion Resistance: 9 Scores
I feel good for torsion resistance. The vamp use thermal bonding with leather. The main heaviest part is in the midsole. The midsole is thick and stiff. Its torsion resistance stand out from other shoes with woven upper.
Wearing Performance: 8.5 Scores
It’s suitable to wear due to the new technology. Somebody may feel that the part of toe is a little empty.
Oneness: 7 Scores
Could the shoes with high configuration get full scores when playing? Actually not.
For my point, oneness means that the shoes on foot must be easy to control. For example, the strength of the vamp must match the grip of the sole. The foot will slip out of the vamp if the sole grip the ground too hard.
The reason why I only give 7 scores for Air Jordan 33 :
Firstly, the shoes is heavy. It’s not easy to control the shoes for light weight or weaker strength players. But if you are a powerful man, you don’t need to consider the weight of shoes too much.
Second, as we mentioned before, this pair of shoes are bulky. But the arch of the foot is snug in the lining. It’s not easy for everybody to control it fastly.
Finally, the sole’s torsion resistance is too strong, probably due to the design of the roulette on the outsole.
That’s all. For Air Jordan 33 , if you are powerful type man, it’s absolutely no problem to purchase it. But if your strength is weaker and you need to run many times, this pair of shoes may not be easy for you to control.
