Picked up these up for $98. Top notch as expected. I wear size 10.5 and they fit true to size. Sometimes I wear an ASO ankle brace and the fit is still fine. The lockdown around the front is better than last year's version. I don't have to tie the laces so tight it cuts off the circulation from my feet inorder to prevent the front of my ankle from moving around. Superior cushionong yet still some spring. Took a few hoop sessions to break them in

This is my first pair of Jordan on cour shoes in a while. I tend to gravitate towards shoes with good cushion and roomier toe box. While this shoe does still have a fairly narrow toe box, it makes up for it with exceptional full length cushion, excellent traction, and top notch midsole support. After two hooping sessions they have broken in enough for me to declare these one of my top basketball shoes I have used, and already purchased a second pair for when these wear out.

The Jordan 38 Low has great stability and traction. I have horrible ankles and typically wear ankle bracesgg or tape. The shoes felt good with braces on and I didn’t feel any roll or slip. True to size as well. I typically wear Kobe’s so it was nice to find something else I might like.Thats the good side. The bad side is the toe box pinches. When I got the shoe I was testing the bend of the toe, and could feel a potential issue. After one session my toe was bleeding and bleed-through to the outer material. Great shoe, but may take a few runs to either get use to it or the shoe loosens up at the toe. We will see.

My Official Review: 4.55/5 StarsComparable Shoe: Luka 1'sMy Experience: High school > College > OverseasThe Jordan 38 low is a completely different fit than the high version. If I'm being honest, I think I prefer the high's more than the low's but only because the air strobel feels more pronounced in the high's. These are definitely a trimmed down 1-2 guard version. Bigs might need to go with the high's for more support around the ankle but that's based on hi/lo cut preference.If I had to compare it to a similar shoe, they're basically a beefed up version of the Luka 1's with exponentially better grip and structural stability.Pros:- Amazing grip on clean floors (TBD on dusty floors...)- Great lateral stability- Quality materials- Breathable- ... MoreMy Official Review: 4.55/5 StarsComparable Shoe: Luka 1'sMy Experience: High school > College > OverseasThe Jordan 38 low is a completely different fit than the high version.

Are they the most comfortable when you first put them on? No, but with playing/practicing 2-3 times per week - they're solid.
I just purchased these shoes and I absolutely love them. The fit was nice and true to my normal size in Nike shoes. When fully laced, I experienced little to no heel slippage. The familiar black, red, and white colorway looks great on this silhouette. The materials were solid overall and I’m really liking this shoe. I’ll be buying additional colorways for sure. I would recommend these for on court and casual use as I’ve already done both. In my opinion the AJ 38 Low is an absolute winner. 👍
I bought these for my son about a month ago. He loved them the second he put them on. He has wide feet and it is very difficult to find basketball shoes that accommodate that physical feature. He is very happy also with the group they have on the court.
Son loves these, he has a medium with foot but on the slightly wider size without being wide and said these were very comfortable. Length fits true to size. Fast shipping. Overall happy with purchase and price paid.
I wear my shoes while at Sports Card Trading Shows. Being on my feet for 6-8 hours, this shoe is the most comfortable and stable shoe I have. Better than my Brooks or OC’s and even better than other Nike’s I own. My only recommendation, get a 2nd pair. This way you can keep the shoes nice and fresh and not getting odor from too much use.
i play guard, and these give a nice low ride and court feel. the cushion is comfortable and the traction is great. got the black and carolina blue cw. played for ~50hrs and replaced with the exact same pair. worth it!
