Whats underneath the Air Jordan 38 Low basketball shoe? Check them out for yourself with this deep dive on court playtest, review, teardown and durability test. As a foot doctor I look at basketball shoes and basketball shoe technology a bit differently as I focus more on what foot types benefit from these shoes as well as the basketball shoe's functional attributes on the basketball court
Some of the main areas we cover in this basketball shoe shoe playtest, and performance review of the Air Jordan 38 Low
- The weight, durability, fit and playability
- What are the features of the insole, midsole, and outsole
- Jordan Brand basketball shoe technology explained

Thanks for the review Doc. I picked up my 38s a couple of days ago and will play my first game tonight. They feel amazing around the house. Thought about waiting for the lows but I couldn’t imagine anything feeing as perfect as the 38s so I pulled the trigger.
Thanks for the review 👍
I went true to size and it's a great fit.
I'll update this later on to inform about sole separation at the cutouts ppl experienced with the 1st version. Playing in them like crazy to be able to return before deadline ifbany issues 🤣
Great review FootDoctorZach! I suffer from Plantar Fasciitis and the insole does bother me. I don't plan on playing in these but more for casual wear.
Great review 👍
I wish you investigated the premature outsole separation that a lot of guys pointed out. Even store displays were showing signs of it. The regular 38 might’ve went on sale quickly because of it. Maybe they addressed that in the lows, which is why they released pretty sooner than usual.
Its from the bending at the Xplate- i show it when showing how the shoe bends at the forefoot
Agree, was hoping to hear that addressed verbally.
@@FootDoctorZach oh yeah I figured that….but what do you think the potential manufacturing problems were that would easily cause that problem? Applying that much force at the forefoot on either side of the 38, the separation would be inevitable. How can Jordan Brand let the sale of these continue? I was able to get the FIBA 38 for $100 at a JD Sports, but I still don’t think they would be worth it.
There's nothing to investigate. It's poorly designed if durability is your priority. The outsole having the cutouts in the forefoot to match the X-Plate makes the corners there super vulnerable to peeling and dragging on the floor. Nike's quality control is also crap to begin with. Its not surprising that the glue doesn't hold. I promise you every pair of Nike basketball shoes is just as poorly glued. These just happen to have a super poorly designed outsole.
@@DanielEndres-cu3tt would be dope if Zach did a glue test, see how much it could hold up under an extreme condition of some sort, like under heat in a given period of time or a peel test.
Keep on cutting ‘em, doc. ☝️💯👟
love you Doc
Behind the backboard shot was great, doc!😂
Im loving the end credit preview of the next shoe. Cant wait to see how those Jokers perform... that shank/cushion setup looks like a running shoe. Interested in seeing if it translates to basketball.
Glad you’re finding the Easter eggs
Dr Zach, off topic, but your hair is looking great man. Love the videos, keep up the great work! 🙌🙌🙌
Thank you - haha it’s the comeback of the year
you are the man!
Can you do a performance review of the Jordan 12 and 13? A lot of players still use these two models and would be great to see how they stack up compared to today’s tech!
The 12s and 13s are fantastic and provide a lot of support and lock down compared to todays shoes. I’m wearing 13 Playoffs as I type this.
Hey Zach! As an foot doctor, how much would you recommend for the extra space in basketball shoes to be? I am struggling with basically every model whether to go with 11.5 or 12, since I have an condition that you doctor's sometimes call "Morton's Toe".
Take care, and thank you for the great content!
Just ordered a pair last night
Amazing videos ,,, Peak Jose Alvarado Attitude 2 Review please ,,, greetings from México
I miss your racket reviews. Will you bring them back
Have 3 pairs of the 38s.. love em .. gonna get the yotd colorway I don’t like the lows
Interesting to see how the insole can really impact the performance of a shoe! Great vid Doc!
That’s why I take the insoles out and replace them with Move insoles.
How do you guys clean this shoe btw. Im kinda new to the gang so yeah i don't know how...
It would really help me tysm.
I enjoyed this shoe feels great on foot
im 6'2 and 242pound, what you pref for me? i have also wide and nearly flat sole, mid arches.
i watched your video about Ultimate Basketball Shoe Buyers Guide, and will try the lebron 21 but any other shoe you can tell? (i play only indoor). ty
thinking about getting these, but $175 isnt cheap for hoop shoes. also i'd take out the insole and replace it with a move insole, which is another $40, but they're sold out of size 12. how do you sell out of insoles? lol
Hey Dr! I noticed that the big kids mid top version has a very similar colorway to the adult low. Odd, does it have the same tech? Since a big kids size 7 is the same as M7/W8.5 this could be a great option. Based on the fact that many women hoopers can fit into youth sizes, I would love to see some reviews on the kids versions of shoes to confirm the same materials. Thanks
Hello footdoctor, I have a question. I tried the Luka 2 and I don’t understand why I feel a perfect cushion on my left heel but not under my right heel. Do I need orthotic insoles? I played a practice with the KD16 in a tts, because I finally think they are tts, and after one hour, my right foot felt a hole under my toes, and I felt the zoom also destroyed under my right foot. I really need an answer. Thanks.
thnak you
hey doc, I love your videos and actually took one of your recommendations and now i'm playing on a Son of Flash, which is just amazing. Problem is that I have a pronated foot and now i'm suffering from shin splints, which are causing so much pain that I had to stop hoopin. I went to the doctor but he didn't asked anything about the shoes I play in. Can the Son of Flash be the problem in this case?
I doubt it but if I was suffering I’d try something else just to start ruling out causes and the shoe is an easy start
Does someone know were we can buy the curry 10 city edition PE ?
Nice jobs as always Doctor Zach!
Tested the Mid-tops a few days ago and the Full length zoom and Cushlon 3.0 is amazing!
The Materials on the other hand felt so so cheap and poorly merged (glue residue everywhere,
non fitting seems etc.) it doesnt wonder me at all that they are sitting on the shelves right now.
Not worth 180-200$. The rear of the lows really looks much better and more thought through!
Can you do a video Jordan 11 ie
Best looking jordan in a min
i have the question , if compare with Lebron 21 , which one is better ?
Is there another shoe on the market that it performs similar to?
Keep them honest doc!
I typically cut the arch spot out of almost all my insoles. Cuz I'm flat footed and they are insanely annoying on the bottom of my foot. Thank you for the sizing tip. I got the AJ 38 in an 11, my normal size, and they were/are long in the toe box. Thanks Doc
Glad it helped👍👍
I'm wondering how these compare to Lebron 21's? I don't like the traction on the Lebron's and they are hot. The 37 lows were too narrow...
Test the Adidas bouce legends please
Is there any way to apply a bit of weight to the shoe when you tilt them during grip testing? added Friction should be more neutral and non performance based
Weight doesn’t matter on an inclined plane I’ve explained this in a few videos
please do NB sneakers
What’s the best shoe for dunking? I’m a short dunker that needs impact protection, springiness, stability and great traction. What are your recommendations? Thanks 😊
GT cut 2 would be perfect
@@anthonytcg2407No. Go with the GT cut 3, air Jordan 12 or 13.
Curry 4 retro please 🙂
Please check back in, if the X-Plate separation occurs if you continue to hoop in these. Not trying to waste time in these like I did the mids. My aquas separated on the first hoop session.
I have separation and I don’t hoop in them. Wore them 3 times and it’s already happening. Just a couple trips to the grocery store.
That’s so crazy. Just getting back into basketball shoes this year and I love the look of the lows. All these horror stories everywhere I look scare me away
Though the 38 isa wide foot friendly shoe in theory, I have sent it back, because the wings of the X plate dig into my foot (arch - I am flat footed). And strange part is I am only slightly wide footer. Anyone else experience this issue? Can these wings break in over time or is the low a bit forgiven? - Oh sorry, the answer is in the review, great!
Did that to me on a size 12.5 got 13s and I’m good now .. have 3 pairs love those shoes since i can’t get my hands on Kobe 4a without paying a fortune
Zach, would you recommend these for floorball?
Definitely not.
Hey what do you think about Lela Fernandez using pumas basketball sneaker to play at the AO???
Foot Doctor Explains Why The Puma Stewie 2 Is Being Worn By Pro Tennis and Basketball Players

@@FootDoctorZach sorry about that I missed that review. TY
Are the lows going to have that outsole separation?
If you watch where I bend the shoe at the shank it looks like it has the same issues but it all comes down to the manufacturer- no idea if they got the gluing right
Dr. Zach,
Are you going to do the reverse grinch kobe protros?
Thank you,
Andrew
The laces on these are killing my ankle. Sucks because I love everything else about the shoe but I can’t wear them for serious hoop sessions because it’s so bad. Anyone else having this issue?
the last 4 or 5 years the lows have been better then their regular counterpart. i remember when the lows weren't as good. bonkers
Great shoe, great head of hair Lfg!!!
Haha it’s growing like a weed now
@@FootDoctorZach glad it’s working out for ya Doc!
shox bb4 teardown is needed
I love the way they look but with no shank under my arch they’ll sadly be a pass
The heel seems high, no problem with Achilles?
Huh? Watch the midsole teardown
Is the move insole would work with this Jordan 38 low?
Peak Taichi 5.0?
Move insoles will do the job for the fit for me
it will squeak
Oh
Let's goooo
Never wear 180 bucks shoes outdoors lol.
Move insole a good fit?
I don’t see why not
@@FootDoctorZach thank you zach, love the videos
@@FootDoctorZach I tried two pair of move insoles and they squeak.
Is the Lebron 21 more comfortable then this shoe
No
Traction: lebron , comfort: 38 low
Every shoe should have a zoom stroble
these looks just like improved Luka 1
Назад к натуральным материалам!
big man good to use this?
they squeaked a lot - every step - had to return them
Wide feet ? Good?
It’s in the fit section
Do away with the dumb wing, it digs into my foot
Funniest intro to a review: “I don’t trust these MF’s!!!!”
You said it
Made for zion
Worst shoe Ive played in as far as I can remember...Furst time Ive Had blisters on my feet. Materials feel very cheap and Overall it feels just bad on the feet. Cushion is also very Bad and a piece of the sole just broke apart after Just one week of playing...DONT BUY THOSE SHOES
Oddly enough, you don’t own these shoes.
@@DeepDishPizza should I send you a Video?
@@pianoman5781 A video of what? You lying. No thanks.
Same issue. I've never ever ever experienced a blister in any sneaker or shoe for that matter. 2nd time out hooping in these, I felt the pressure on the inside arch of my right foot. Took the sneaker off and had a crazy blister. Took a look at my left foot, and the same thing was beginning to happen. I'm trying to clean them as I type this and will be taking them back.
@@DeepDishPizza why should I be lying? xD yeah you got me, Im Kyrie Irving and I try destroy Jordans Reputation
4:33 how are you going to cook a defender 😂💀
I dunno…but I did find a way to get paid to play so I guess I’m not doing too too bad
Why not a band saw
Where’s the fun in that
He probably also doesn't want to destroy any tech Inside
Hi Zach! I have a video request. If it's possible, could you please do a review on the Jordan Stay Loyal 3? I know it is pretty unpopular, but it would be great if you could make one. Thanks in advance!
