Pros: 1. Lightweight Performance: The 39s are noticeably lighter than previous iterations, thanks to an updated woven upper that feels breathable yet supportive. It wraps the foot nicely without creating hotspots. 2. Responsive Cushioning: Jordan Brand brings back Zoom Air Strobel and a targeted forefoot unit, delivering excellent court feel and responsiveness. Whether you’re exploding off the dribble or going for a second jump on the glass, the cushioning holds up well. 3. Improved Traction: The multi-directional outsole pattern grips effectively on both clean and dusty courts. It’s reminiscent of the AJ34 and AJ36 in its bite and reliability—great for guards and agile forwards. 4. Sleek, Modern Design: The silhouette blends heritage and tech—some colorways channel retro vibes while others lean futuristic. They look just as good off the court as they feel on it. Cons: 1. Narrow Fit: Players with wider feet might find the fit a bit snug, especially around the midfoot. Sizing up or breaking them in gradually may be necessary. 2. Durability Concerns: The upper, while light, may not hold up as long for outdoor hoopers. Indoor players should be fine, but expect faster wear if used outside regularly.
