This model has really grown on me. When they were first revealed, I wasn't feeling them. But seeing them in other colorways really changed my mind on these. I like how they went with a new look compared to the last few models.
This model is bad imo. The shape of the sole seems to invite your ankle to roll. The holes in the sole in the front will probably perform so bad while you try to defend or move lateral. Like the look tho, but hell nah.
I’m 41 years old and I remember when Js used to drop and it was special to me back in the 90s. I used to get so hype as a kid lol these would’ve gotten the same treatment if they would’ve came out back when Jordan used to play, with that said these got that same type of feeling, from your typical Js design, colorway etc. These are so close to that time lol
This for me is the most anticipated Jordan since the 29. Loved the 34 and 36 almost was great for me but so glad Jordan has built a performance sneaker that actually looks like a flagship model. Want this and hoping a UNC colorway.
I agree with Mrs. Wing. I definitely see the evolution from the 37 to 38. I personally don't like these as a high, but am excited to see the lows. Great video as always!
Made my day. Can’t wait to get these. I’ve loved the 34, 35, and 36. The 37 was so ugly as a consumer I voted with my dollar and refused to buy one. No matter how much they got reduced.
Agreed. 34-36 design wise was on point. Wasnt a big fan of the fitting / tech on the 35 though, even though its similar to 34 and 36. Not a fan of the 37 though. 38 looks incredible though
@@leir2005 I got my pair of 37 lows from Dick's for $102 and some change. As soon as I wore them I understood why they'd been discounted so much. I loved the 36's but the 37's were a huge disappointment...so much so that they've been relegated to my "beater" designation (IE: don't care if I abuse them, beat em up, wear them wherever, etc).
Jordan 30-38 now, with the exception of 33, have been amazing! It’s unfortunate the newer models get so much hate. This is a beautiful sneaker. Great review!!
People just expect a lifestyle looking shoe like what the older models have become and don’t understand these are a performance driven shoe. As a basketball shoe these look amazing
Once again, another great overall video review. Thank you again, to Chris and Jodi. Very much appreciated as always. The "shock drop" review. The Air Jordan 38's have grown on me after seeing the first pictures. I have seen pictures of this shoe with the XDR solid rubber outsole as well and truly hope it is released. Just not a fan of clear rubber outsoles. Looking forward to seeing what other colorways are instore. I have seen pictures and a video of a WNBA player (whom I forget at this time) wearing an "Aqua" version of this shoe.
I have bad feet I believe plantar fasciitis so hooping has been hard and work so I’m digging these high ankle support looks stable I can’t do any low or lightweight shoes
After the 37 this is refreshing!! I liked 35,36 but couldn't get down with last year's model....I don't play anymore but still appreciate the flagship j's
Yeah, there will be Performance Fit versions for overseas with opaque XDR outsoles for outdoor play. That's inevitable. Hopefully this wasn't a mystery to anyone but the reason the Jordan 34-36 had those raised see-through arches was as callbacks to the Jordan 4-6 having visible Air units. The Jordan 8 had no visible Air so naturally this one wouldn't have a see-through arch.
Your continued fandom for Jordan in 2023 is hilarious…. And by which i mean im the same exact way. No matter how skilled or dominant others have been, no one’s quite shattered reality quite like Jordan in our days. It felt like a man transported from even our current future… as if it’s not even the same guy we see now in promos and appearances. I feel bad for the youth that think anyone today is the goat cuz that’s the standard they grew up with. We saw a man fly.
I will definitely be getting these. That’s hard body you got a pair before they even released. I’ve seen like one dude during the NBA playoffs wearing these.
I bought a pair today I'm so glad I did very comfortable I don't play ball anymore I shoot the ball in the hoop I'm almost 50i appreciate these I think their an instant classic like the 34s I have those to 20 yrs everyone will be jumping on these I love em different looking. These will be a classic one day i see it
Finally got my hands (and feet) on these and I gotta admit these are SICK. Most comfortable basketball shoe ever, I have a couple of Lebrons XX and Curry 10s and those are really great but these are *even* better yet. Crazy.
I love that the "Air Jordan" line is still developing from one model to the next. keeping in mind Jordan as a player. after AJ14, I, personally love the 30s and up.
Love that it looks like a Nike Shox. Just got a Ja 1 but if the performance reviews on these is great, I might cop a pair. Hope new colorway comes out.
Definitely digging these; SO glad the nods to the 8 are subtle because that model has not grown on me and never will.😝 Like most of the newest Js though, I gotta see the lows!
Man I haven't followed new Jordans in years and these have me totally sold. Love the tech features and the looks...they somehow look like a modern take on a Jordan 2, with their own feel too. Great shoe.
After watching this video about this shoe I'll definitely look into buying this Jordan 38. This original colorway looks clean as heck though. Thanks Chris for the review and awesome video.
Chris "The Goat" of shoe reviews. Another excellent AJ basketball review. I can't wait to pick these up on Friday, 8/18!! 🔥🔥🔥I have bought more AJ's based on your reviews. Thanks! 🙏
Thanks to you i copped the air bb next just to use the insole on my retros but i finally put them back in the snkrs and played ball in them i love them even better than my jordan 34 lows
Thanks for mentioning Dime basketball. Got mine from your link and have been very impressed. Been looking for a Wilson Evolution type ball for as long as I can remember that I could use outdoors and I finally found it! Thanks again.
If it hasn’t happened yet, I think it’s time for MJ to sit down with Nightwing and chop it up about the Brand and sneaker models. That would be an epic interview
Wow, it really does look like they took a kid's Spirograph to the box and the bottom of the shoe! I would love to see the performance review on these, hopefully they perform as good as they look. Thanks for a great video on these!
Your content and reviews are awesome! Shout out to wifey as well for her takes! Thanks for doing this review on the AJ38 right away. I'm waiting for my pair to arrive. I am feeling these just as they are!! I know other colorways and the lows are on deck. But hey, these are the charter jawns. I will admit, I won't be hooping in them but I damn sure will be rocking them on occasions. ✌🏽
I remember when I purchased the Jordan 34 Chicago's SE they had two zippers and I'm telling you right now to this day there's not a better form-fitting shoe if you've ever tried them on you have to they're super expensive now I paid $300 for my pear on stock x but that is a crazy I know it's been a few years but if you haven't tried them on you have to it takes you back to the Old skool days when you got a fresh pair of J's if you were lucky traded your Gameboy or your bicycle to your friend and your pair of shoes for his Jordans and put them on that's what the Air Jordan 34 SE Chicago is to me and this new shoe the Jordan 38 reminds me a lot of that shoe it has that solid white going up the middle looks very comfortable and I can't wait to get a pair🎉🎉🎉🎉
I had the prime hype df2, got them for like $15 bucks at outlet and in my 30 years of basketball shoes it’s easily the most comfortable shoe I have ever worn.
34s was the last one I really loved. 35s was close. But these I can't get over that black side panel. I might cop some 34s just to see the level of comfort in the modern versions. 14s is the latest Jordan I've ever bought or wore lol
Can’t wait to add these they are so fresh can’t wait to see who going to be the main guy in these since all jordan brand guys have there own shoe now great video as alwayz
I have a love fallout relation with Jordan brand seems like once in a while I go looking in other directions then they hit a design that reels me back in the ones 2's 3 & 4 and 5's fallout around the 6th iteration came back with the 11's fell off with the 12's came back for the 13 & 14 15's fellout at 16 - 23 came back at 24 skipped the 25 - 33 and back with the 34's and so far been going strong with the latest crop and looks like we have another winner with the 38! 😊
Definitely excited to get a pair of these. I remember being in the minority of people that liked the way these looked when pics leaked. Great overview as always, hopefully they release soon!
These Jordan 38 might be 10/10 but I think next year's MJ39 is gonna be even better. And Jordan 40's Malcolm X are gonna be ridiculous.. 41's are the futuristic concords...
This model has really grown on me. When they were first revealed, I wasn't feeling them. But seeing them in other colorways really changed my mind on these. I like how they went with a new look compared to the last few models.
Same..they should make it's lows exactly like this and should be as low as the j11s and kobes. I'll be getting good colorways for sure
@@nassiglutt6587lows kinda suck imo mid to high cut shoes are amazing

These are a significant aesthetic improvement over the 37.
These are 100% a must, anytime the new Jordan comes out it's a must cop especially Chicago colorway
Big FACTS!
You know it. These are what MJ would be wearing if he were playing today.
Yup. This is the Air Jordan original series, the flagship of basketball shoes.
Did not like the 37s.....,these are nice tho....I really liked the 34 tho
These will be at the outlets for half off by Halloween I wouldn’t jump to buy them
This for me is the most anticipated Jordan since the 29. Loved the 34 and 36 almost was great for me but so glad Jordan has built a performance sneaker that actually looks like a flagship model. Want this and hoping a UNC colorway.
Man I don’t think any Jordan will top the 29 hype …. That shoe was crazy
It’s weird. We should have seen the Carolina uniforms and shoes by now.
They got a unc colorway for unc players only tho😡😡they look super fire probably my favorite shoe of all time
I agree with Mrs. Wing. I definitely see the evolution from the 37 to 38. I personally don't like these as a high, but am excited to see the lows. Great video as always!
I love these I'm glad this new generation is only stuck on the retros bcuz that means we can go out and cop these with ease....... Thanks Weartesters
Good point.

They got reduced big time, the 37’s. Some going for around $100

The most in depth review of the Air Jordan 38 that I have seen so far. You could rock these shoes on or off the court. Great review Nightwing!!
Looks like the old school Vince Carter sneakers w/o the “Shox” technology.
Came here to say this. Definitely getting BB4 vibes
Said the same thing to myself at first glance.
100% anticipating what the lows look like as well! With the exception of the 35, I’ve copped the low versions of the 30-37.
I haven't looked forward to getting a new Air Jordan in hand this much since the 34. This thing is a beauty. Can't wait!
Watched this video while wearing a pair of 34s. Great breakdown! These are a must cop in high and low top.
I've got 35's on, while watching.

She crushed that. Analogue. She was spot on . Right off the jump. !!!
I have bad feet I believe plantar fasciitis so hooping has been hard and work so I’m digging these high ankle support looks stable I can’t do any low or lightweight shoes
i've heard mj's fadeaway and the mechanics of that shot was the literal inspiration for this shoe's design
This makes me want to play again. I’ll def grab a pair.
Awesome review as always! 🔥🔥🔥
Just wondering why didn’t they utilized Formula 23 for their signature sneaker? They should’ve explored it further imo
After the 37 this is refreshing!! I liked 35,36 but couldn't get down with last year's model....I don't play anymore but still appreciate the flagship j's
Came here to say the same!....lol....love the 34s I bought 2 pairs....the 37s were terrible....but these 38s are tight
Facts
I got the Dime ball both the indoor and outdoor ball. Theyre solid. Glad I heard about them from you.
Those xxx and the 8 (placed like an infinity symbol) looks cool, if anyone didn’t notice…🔥🔥🔥
Yeah, there will be Performance Fit versions for overseas with opaque XDR outsoles for outdoor play. That's inevitable.

Getting Jordan 22 vibes in terms of looks
*I thought I was the only one lol*
Agreed
Yes, it is!
Thank you for all you guys do. ❤much love
Thank you
I’ll be grabbing 2 pair tomorrow one to hoop, and another to probably wear casually down the line
Mannn, we need a 28 retro!! Need them bouncy joints back w/o the zoom busting😢
Thanks for mentioning Dime basketball. Got mine from your link and have been very impressed. Been looking for a Wilson Evolution type ball for as long as I can remember that I could use outdoors and I finally found it! Thanks again.
Give me big D Rose 1.5 vibes I need these
I like how the 38 is displayed as xxx with 8 on top of it. Cool!
Reminds alot of the Jordan 21 & 34
They look ❤️🔥 and the design reminds me of adi zero? Idk maybe it's just me. But overall cant wait for more colorways.
If it hasn’t happened yet, I think it’s time for MJ to sit down with Nightwing and chop it up about the Brand and sneaker models. That would be an epic interview
I ain't going to hold you my guy Your wife was right with that point at the beginning!❤
Love my 38s. By far the most comfortable Jordan's in my opinion.
This is def on my list. They almost give me old school vibes
So much better of a design than the 37s.
Mann.. Jordan brand should pay u...''The Pinnacle of performance "...🔥🔥u just gave them a boost 💨
Maaan, I've been waiting for this review!! Next one I'm excited to see next is the Zion 3's. And by the way, these 38's look fantastic.

Can't front ever since the 34's to do 38's Jordans been fly I know everyone retroed up but Jordan been dropping nem nice ones the past 5 years
An all black with hits of red are gonna look nice!
Honestly, looking 👀 at the silhouette, they're shaped like the Vince Carter Nike Shocks from 🔙 in the day... in my opinion.
I bought these and I love them.their design and new look looks really good and they are actually pretty comfortable
been here since Jordan 2010 review
Well done Jordan Brand! Finally a top notch and well designed J!
Really, really digging these. Design, tech, colors, all of it. I'm big on lows now though so I'd like to see what the those will look like
They wide foot friendly! Plz add that info everytime the wide foot gang would highly appreciate it sir nightwing
He’d only really know that if he was part of the gang though, no?
These look way better than the 37’s.
@@danielmaishman1628 they both look good tbh but yeah these def look better
I love all the models 28 and up … player performance on most of them have been fuego
This design reminds me of the Nike Shox 2001 Vince Carter.
Greetings from Mexico.
Looks reminds me of Jordan 34 SE and Hyperdunk 08
These look dope! I'll be getting a few of the colorways
Just ordered these for Christmas after seeing this review so damn excited
In terms of on court performance the 36 is the best Jordan ever imo
One of the reviews I look forward to the most every year from this channel 👀🙌
When she said "It reminds me of a Pokemon that's levelled up" Perfect analogy!
$199 a local store here has them on sell for $103. Only in the light blue color but I'll be grabbing em. Lol
i dont know why but this model kinna look like the jordan 17 for me and i love it
Surprised you all didn’t compare them to the VC shox.
34s was the last one I really loved. 35s was close. But these I can't get over that black side panel. I might cop some 34s just to see the level of comfort in the modern versions. 14s is the latest Jordan I've ever bought or wore lol
When I saw these they instantly reminded me of the XX1. Actually maybe even a hybrid of the XX1 and XX2
Can’t wait to add these they are so fresh can’t wait to see who going to be the main guy in these since all jordan brand guys have there own shoe now great video as alwayz
The best basketball shoe on the planet is back. It was about time Jordan regained the throne.
These reminds me of the Air Jordan 2012! One of my favorites to hoop in.
Pumped for the lows BI is rocking! Are we getting a bred colorway?? Chris u da man tried them on yeah first non retro Jordan I am excited about
I have a love fallout relation with Jordan brand seems like once in a while I go looking in other directions then they hit a design that reels me back in the ones 2's 3 & 4 and 5's fallout around the 6th iteration came back with the 11's fell off with the 12's came back for the 13 & 14 15's fellout at 16 - 23 came back at 24 skipped the 25 - 33 and back with the 34's and so far been going strong with the latest crop and looks like we have another winner with the 38! 😊
Loved 32, 34, 36 - skipped all in between 38 looks the real deal
I wonder if this will challenge the Air Jordan 28 status as the GOAT overall basketball shoe.
Definitely excited to get a pair of these. I remember being in the minority of people that liked the way these looked when pics leaked. Great overview as always, hopefully they release soon!
Looking forward to grabbing a pair of these 🔥 Great review tho!
There’s zoom strobe in the gt jump 2
Oh man. The lows are going to be fire. Can't wait to see the other color ways
Love the Zoom Strobel - for sho getting these! Thanks for the Review my man!
These Jordan 38 might be 10/10 but I think next year's MJ39 is gonna be even better. And Jordan 40's Malcolm X are gonna be ridiculous.. 41's are the futuristic concords...
