Air Jordan 36 Low Review
Pros:
More comfortable fit than the regular 36
Amazing traction
Cons:
Does not contain as well as the regular 36
Slight heel slippage
Performance of the Air Jordan 36 Low:
Jordan Brand's low-top version of its mainline shoe has an identical traction pattern but uses a solid rubber compound. It performs pretty much the same, which is to say it's great.
The cushion also remains the same. It's bouncy and is potentially the best setup on the market.
Some reviewers feel that the Low fits slightly better than the regular 36 because of the materials.
The support is solid and hard to beat for a low-top, but some reviewers mentioned experiencing heel slippage.
Overall, the Jordan 36 Low is just as good a choice for a performance basketball shoe as the mid-top version.

I preferred playing in the Jordan 36 Low a bit more than the Jordan 36. It's a lightweight, breathable shoe that offers bouncy cushion and grippy traction.

Just buy it if you find it at lower than retail, amazing for all positions, no outdoor in these cuz it is a hella expensive shoe and durability is not good and if you are a fucking pig in terms of smelly feet these have very good ventilation cuz the materials. Traction and Cushion are ok(traction was ass tho idk how but It was)The cushion was so nice that it was too much for me. If you are a shifty lightweight PG or SG I would stick to the PG 6, Giannis immortality, Don ISSUE 4, PG 5 or Dame

This shoe is amazing in just about every way. You feel a bit unstable at first while you get used the the protruded zoom air unit on the bottom of the sole. When lacing up, it sometimes feels like you can’t quite get them tight enough, but I have never experienced any lockdown issues. The biggest issue of this shoe is that it is a pinky toe killer, even after extended break in time. If you go up half a size to avoid it, the fit feels too loose. Highly recommend putting bandaids to prevent.

The Jordan 36 Low is a very formidable shoe for its price.
Very comfy fit brand new and better when broken in.
Doesn't take long to break in and once broken in, it's extremely fun and responsive wear
Very bouncy with great cushion and impact protection and the materials are on par with that.
Easy to clean and very breathable
Not recommended for outdoor and can pick up a lot of dust but easy to wipe and very grippy
Overall a great shoe and I highly recommend for forwards and guards

This shoe is a pretty nice shoe, traction isn’t great but not bad, cushion is nice, it feels a bit of balance certain times. When u buy the shoe is a pinky toe KILLER. It rubs so much that I can’t play in them for more than 10 mins it took me weeks of nonstop play to make it not hurt as much but still can’t play for a good amount of time. The looks are great tho way better in hand than the photos. Materials are super lightweight and breathable. Overall alright shoe.

Honestly I loved this shoe, however a week after I started using it the thing that holds the laces broke, but I was able to fix it.
My biggest problem with this shoe is it's materials durability, especially the upper part of the shoe.
After 8 months of using it the materials on the left foot ripped!! And I get that it might have happend because of my ankle brace but please this shoe is expensive as hell, should have to deal with this! Don't buy it!

The materials used on the upper are slightly different, and because of this, they aren't as containing. They are just as durable, though.

The 36 Low still uses a Leno-weave upper combined with a fuse for support and durability. The quality isn't the best, but the performance is solid.

I find the 36 Low to be a very supportive shoe. The Phylon midsole cages your foot to provide lateral containment.

Lateral containment was good. The added fuse provides some more support, but it's only a minor improvement on an already good setup.

The support is almost the same as the Jordan 36. The Low version gave me a bit more heel slippage. It didn't feel like it would slip off, but I was mentally aware of the slipping.
