Jordan Tatum 3 Review

Pros:
Cushlon 3.0 feels soft and comfortable
Lightweight and flexible upper materials
Cons:
Outsole is a dust magnet
Lacks a lateral outrigger

Performance of the Jordan Tatum 3:

Jayson Tatum's third signature shoe is his best yet, but not by much. The traction performance is inconsistent. Sometimes, the grip performs well, but other times, reviewers mention slipping. Jordan Brand uses Cushlon 3.0 as the midsole foam. It feels soft and comfortable. The materials are flexible, lightweight and breathable. The upper conforms to your feet well, but the materials loosen with time. Support and lockdown are not the best. The upper lacks containment, and heel stability could be improved. There's also no outrigger. The Jordan Tatum 3 improves, but not enough to be a good performer. The traction is too inconsistent.

You won't have issues with clean courts. Dustier courts were a problem, though, as the outsole is a dust magnet.

On clean courts, the traction has a solid bite. However, dust is a problem; it affects the performance a lot.
