Category Performance Ratings
7.6
Traction
Central translucent herringbone with peripheral solid rubber. Grips well on clean indoor floors but is dust sensitive and peripheral areas can slip.
8.1
Cushion
Higher-volume Zoom unit with Cushlon 3.0 midsole. Springy, bouncy ride with solid impact protection and decent court feel.
6.4
Materials
Synthetic upper with faux nubuck and suede-like panels plus padded gusseted tongue. Feels cheap and poorly breathable with durability concerns.
6.9
Support
No shank, flexible TPU midfoot plate and soft heel counter. Limited torsional rigidity and containment for some players, though lockdown is okay for others.
7.8
Fit
Runs long and narrow for many. A few report roomy toe box that suits wide, flat feet. Lockdown varies by foot shape.
0%
Outdoor
Thin, soft outsole rubber. Not recommended for outdoor play as the tread wears quickly on rough courts.
small
large
Sizing
Generally true to size. Narrow footers may try half size down; wide or flat feet should stick to true size.
narrow
wide
Width
Fits narrow to medium for most. Some reviewers found a roomy toe box that accommodates wide, flat feet.

The Jordan Tatum 4 is a solid hoop shoe, and I think it's the best in his signature line. The traction felt reliable, and I enjoyed the cushioning setup.

The Jordan Tatum 4s are my favourite Tatums so far. They're light and comfortable, but traction, thin outsole durability, and lack of stability are holding the shoes back.

I won't be keeping the Jordan Tatum 4 in my rotation. They have good cushioning and are lightweight, but the cheap materials, weak traction, and floppy support make them disappointing.

Traction takes a while to break in. It works on clean courts but struggles in dusty conditions.

The cushioning is light and comfy. A higher-volume Zoom and Cushlon 3.0 give good bounce and impact protection. No shank and some long-term durability concerns, though.

The cushioning is bouncy and super comfortable. Cushlon 3.0 feels plush. However, I don't like how the cushion can affect the support.

The materials are hot garbage. They feel cheap and synthetic. The faux nubuck and suede areas are junk. It doesn't feel good at all for a Jordan athlete.

Support is lacking. There is no shank, and the TPU pieces don't provide torsional stability. The shoe allows a lot of eversion and benefits from an orthotic. There's also no heel slippage.

Support felt lacking. The TPU midfoot plate bends easily and the heel counter is soft. I wanted more stiffness for quick stops and firmer push-offs.

If you have a narrow or medium foot, go true to size. Narrow footers might be able to go down half a size.

½ size large

You could go down half a size, but wide and flat feet should stick true to size to avoid arch pain.
