Jordan Zion 3 Review

Pros:
Reinforced materials
The midfoot flange provides extra stability
Cons:
Dust pickup on the traction
Feels stiff initially

Performance of the Jordan Zion 3:

Zion Williamson is on his third signature shoe with Jordan Brand, and this iteration takes a different approach to the support. The traction performs well, especially indoors, but some reviewers mention that dust pickup is a flaw. Jordan Brand uses a Formula 23 drop-in midsole. It feels soft and comfortable, but the tech specs could be better in a more traditional setup. The upper gets reinforced with extra rubber and a TPU layer, providing additional support. The midfoot and medial side flanges increase the shoe's stability. The padding around the heel also increases lockdown. Reviewers agree that the fit is narrow and not meant for players with wide feet. Overall, the Jordan Zion 3 plays well for stockier players who can take advantage of the stability features at a higher pace.

The Jordan Zion 3 provides enough stabilization for all positions. I love the cushioning, and the traction works as long as you wipe the dust.

The Jordan Zion 3 is one of the best supportive low-top shoes. Jordan Brand knocked the drop-in midsole out of the park, too.

The Jordan Zion 3 is a departure from his previous shoes. It's a minimal shoe that maintains the structure, but it's still heavy. The traction and outsole are the best features.

I have skinny feet and this shoe fits me like a glove, it picks up a lot of dust but after a few wipes with your hand and youre good to go. It has a really grippy fit because of the insole (feels like its just grabbing your whole sock) and the support is amazing. It is a little bit tight on the first 3 hours but the second time i wore them they where really confortable.

Go a at least a size up. The dust pickup is crazy and on dusty courts it’s like rollerblades.

The outsole tread is my favourite part of the shoe. It grips well after about 5 minutes, and the forefoot feels better than the rearfoot.

The drop-in midsole has a flexible shank and a chunky Zoom Air unit in the forefoot. It feels bouncy. I also enjoy the Formula 23 foam, but the tech specs translate to comfort instead of performance.

The drop-in midsole is fit for heavier players. There's not much court feel, but the Zoom is impressive.
