Jordan Zion 3 Review
Pros:
Reinforced materials
The midfoot flange provides extra stability
Cons:
Dust pickup on the traction
Feels stiff initially
Performance of the Jordan Zion 3:
Zion Williamson is on his third signature shoe with Jordan Brand, and this iteration takes a different approach to the support. The traction performs well, especially indoors, but some reviewers mention that dust pickup is a flaw. Jordan Brand uses a Formula 23 drop-in midsole. It feels soft and comfortable, but the tech specs could be better in a more traditional setup. The upper gets reinforced with extra rubber and a TPU layer, providing additional support. The midfoot and medial side flanges increase the shoe's stability. The padding around the heel also increases lockdown. Reviewers agree that the fit is narrow and not meant for players with wide feet. Overall, the Jordan Zion 3 plays well for stockier players who can take advantage of the stability features at a higher pace.

The Jordan Zion 3 is one of the best supportive low-top shoes. Jordan Brand knocked the drop-in midsole out of the park, too.

The Jordan Zion 3 is a departure from his previous shoes. It's a minimal shoe that maintains the structure, but it's still heavy. The traction and outsole are the best features.

Love cushioning as someone who always needs that cushioning it definitely helps a lot, the ankle support on this shoe is amazing. Two things I do hate about the shoe is the fit & grip, it's narrow & if you have wide feet I recommend going a size up, grip is terrible on a dusty non-hardwood court, once you get on a hardwood court the grip is okay. Recommend these to players that attack the rim a lot during games, if you jump a lot get them. I also use them for volleyball and I recommend them too

I have skinny feet and this shoe fits me like a glove, it picks up a lot of dust but after a few wipes with your hand and youre good to go. It has a really grippy fit because of the insole (feels like its just grabbing your whole sock) and the support is amazing. It is a little bit tight on the first 3 hours but the second time i wore them they where really confortable.

WAY TOO NARROW and traction isn't great on dust. Cushion is awesome and super supportive but be prepared to go a full or even maybe 1 and 1/2 sizes up.

Go a at least a size up. The dust pickup is crazy and on dusty courts it’s like rollerblades.
