Yeah fr tho😂

We can tell him but he will never respond 😂

You just did 😂

He doesn’t have to guys

[@HyperInvest210]

@@2yechan I enjoy his breakdown and yes he doesn’t but also needs to be aware that he can’t ask for us to use his “affiliated” links and not respond to comments. There r other channels with way more comments and they do respond back.

[@jameshill8234]

Nice review Sammy! I would love to see the Jordan 38 in a Bred color way.

[@mikem4362]

My experience on a dusty court usually the kicks that has translucent rubber sometimes slips. But for those with EP solid rubber version it works perfectly, outdoor or indoor.

[@Trebor-gw8lt]

Mine finally got here yesterday. So happy the full length Zoom strobel is back. All is well again in the Jordan world. I like the overall look of the shoe, but wish they had used the Chenile tongue of the 8 on the 38.

[@Dr.Tony.Cii.]

I’m over here just waiting on the 38 LOWSSSSS. 🙌🏾🔥🔥🔥😭 I’m excited. They need to drop the Low asappp.

[@nickp8606]

Worrying about the holes in the outsole when you have a slab of gum stuck to the bottom of the shoe is crazy.

[@flossyfeets7305]

Lmaooo that part 😂

[@ErnaMcburna]

Lol is that what that was

[@theheebs100]

I thought it was bird shit

[@SneakFreak48]

Yo Sammy! What do you think about the white sole version? What’s the difference with the clear sole?

[@usedblazers]

I tried these on today. Wow they feel way better than the 37, and the materials feel nice. Responsive at the forefoot, as opposed to the excessive bounciness in the 37, and the cushion at the heel is nice, which I prefer.

[@marvincapulong8212]

Hey glad to hear u like the shoe! I have a pair of 37s in size 8 should I get these In the same size?

[@usedblazers]

@@marvincapulong8212 yeah I think you should get the same size. However, I changed my mind. I’ve heard that there’s premature outsole separation, and when I looked at them at the store again, it feels like you can easily peel off the damn outsole without much effort smh.

[@lloydmalakaiofficial]

hows the traction?

[@usedblazers]

@@lloydmalakaiofficial at the store, the traction is quite godly. But who knows on a dusty court or outdoors. I decided not to buy these because of the premature outsole separation.

[@DderronB27]

I’d advise everyone to go to a store to pick these up. It’s best to look at the outsole to find any glue issues or separation. QC isn’t the best on these but if you get a good pair, they’re easily top shoe of the year performance wise. First pair had to be returned for outsole issues, but the second pair 👌🏾🔥

[@nate1prtx]

I think it's a good shoe. I've had no issues traction wise even with dust build up. Cushion is great. It's all I have been playing in since I bought it. Expensive but I feel it's a great shoe. Interested to see if they make a low. Definitely will get more

[@DderronB27]

Lows are confirmed. Brandon Ingram had them on while training. You can find a couple snapshots on them.

[@nate1prtx]

@DderronB27 hopefully they are made different. I haven't put that many hours into the shoe and the traction is separating from the sole. I don't even play that aggressive.

[@DderronB27]

@@nate1prtx man I just returned my first pair to get another. QC ain’t the best this time around you gotta make sure you got a good pair. I’d try to cop at a store to look at them before purchase. My second pair have been solid.

[@doug186]

Haven’t watched yet. This is what I’ve been waiting for 💯

[@hongshenxiao949]

Any issues with durability? I have heard complaints of fraying at the 2 triangular gaps on the outsole

[@user-ck5xy7bo3c]

*Shoe made from the rarest materials in the universe Sammie-“I don’t feel like the materials they used are worth $200” 😂😂😂

[@SLAPTALK]

I'm surprised that he didn't say SHITMESH....🤣😭🤣

[@jamesdavis8463]

I like that net-like & the coloring.

[@sn34kg33k]

When will the performance review for cj2 will come out?

[@rosenvasilev4219]

These joints should be true-to-size. I am sorta wide feet and before I had the 35s which I had 45.5 but here 45 is alright. Goingup half-size would leave some extra space on all sides . Better try them in-store. I think they are very good. Definitely much better experience than the 35s which was my last model of these joints. Definitely like them more than 35s. Break-in for me was almost not necessary. 35s on the other hand were a headache at the beginning until they settle in. But overall, satisfied. If you got them dollar bills ,why not. I really like the 38s but thats my cents.

[@awgedwxrds3302]

Yo sammy can u review the 361° ag 4?

[@mervynsoon9624]

The Asian launch version comes with a solid rubber XDR sole.

[@kennethbaluyot410]

Please tell my why does some of the Jordan 38's outsole has a solid white out sole. Sammy's pair has the translucent one.

[@TheKhmercha]

solid white is xdr, made for outdoor use

[@hootermang]

How are the light marines?

[@ArmandoKozomara]

Maybe I just haven't hooped in them enough but I've been slipping a bit in the 38s while playing. Sucks. Then I just want to go use the 37s or my Kobe's

[@SteveF69]

for the $200 main Jordan shoe, it should have God levels of performance.

[@polong99]

It should add 4ft of additional vertical jump

[@sh43n]

I’ll come out of retirement when I see a $160 price point 😆

[@anthonywarry339]

Bought 37s and hated them, returned them day 1. The 38s are amazing, tried them on in store and fell in love.

[@badjazz6515]

Would you say Jordan 34 is still better than 38?

[@user-vn2rl4zj9p]

Is it better than KD 14?

[@TheMias24]

We getting a review of the Halo 8s?

[@supreme-rc2mf]

[@Fyahking619]

You need to respond to some comments, dude. You got yo socialize with your subscribers sometime

[@starlightwolves1525]

Best looking J since the start of the 30’s, would have liked to have seen a 3/4 top though. This shoe gives me hope that j’s might one day transition back to a luxery shoe, since this shoe seems to be straddling the line between both. J’s were never really about having the “best” performance, that was Michael’s job. The shoes were there to make him look good doing it.

[@allysonkerr4523]

can you do JET 23 UA

[@DaveODaveZ]

I think your feet have grown Sammi, because other reviewers say true to size is fine. Also, they’ve been saying traction is really good on dust, so this 24 hr fitness you playing on must be the dustiest floor in existence

[@Mahaliana-pm8lw]

Love the shoe and if you are a nike member you can cop for 155 using the 25% discount (u have to buy some 8$ thing)

[@emjay9733]

I just barely broke in my AJ34 😂

[@user-po8nb2rs3p]

How much

[@knutritter461]

I wonder why people think that 200 US$ was much money for prime models. When I grew up in the 90s my first pair had been the Air Max2 Uptempo Duke colorway which was sold at 270 DM in Germany (180-200 US$, the dollar was weak at that time). That had been about 140 € (yes, the Euro did not yet exist). Including inflation of 2 % those 140 € would be 240 € today corresponding to 270 US$ today! 😉

[@xrondog6x]

How would rank the last five Jordan's, 34s to 38s?

[@douglasbeattie906]

Hopefully the lows are less heavy looking

[@Philosophisticated]

Every shoe you review these days is "Up half a size" --- Have you recently measured your feel to determine if your foot size has increased? You may want to do that before you continue to recommend "Up half a size". Maybe your feet are now an 8 instead of 7.5US

[@arthurchen4384]

Dude just realized he is actually an 8 LOOL can’t imagine how messed up his toes are

[@ecolon217]

^^^ especially since every other reviewer says “true to size” for a lot of these shoes

ditto. I feel bad for people that will buy this a half size up because of his recommendation. They will be swimming in these.

[@Cashmoneez]

How come every new Jordan shoe nowadays has a lame launch colorway?

[@qqmiku5692]

I think every Jordan shoe always releases in the Fundamental colorway first since it’s the color scheme of the Chicago Bulls, the team that Michael Jordan played on

[@zoesh2441]

Guys I promise you the KD 15 or 16s are nowhere near as bouncy as the Jordan 38s like Sammy says in this video. He is misleading with that info the KD 15s cushion is lackluster. The 16s are even worse. The Jordan 38’s cushion is lit

[@flossyfeets7305]

Cushion is great especially on them older knees

[@MadSUPANOVA]

Sammy I think it's time you and your peers put together $20.00 and go to home Home Depot and buy a dusting broom for your gym. I cannot believe not one of you and your peers don't sweep the gym floor before you play since it's like playing in a desert. It's getting ludacris how dusty your court is 😂. Please sweep before playing.

[@flossyfeets7305]

I agree spend that KZbin money

[@jjoshuaoliva]

ive seen in reddit, durability is terrible in these, just from a handful of uses

[@demetriharlan5887]

That zoom technology is out dated.

[@brianrosero1706]

I feel like we have to take his opinion on traction with a grain of salt…he seems to play on the worst court. Is that gum on the bottom?! 😂

[@pauper8]

you have to take everything he says with a grain of salt. sizing up will make you swim with these shoes

[@flossyfeets7305]

Definitely I went true to size and the traction and fit was spot on haven’t seen a shoe he has nothing to complain about

[@MadSUPANOVA]

Seriously $200.00 MJ and Lebrons and future Kobe's feels like too much. Matter of fact it is too much for basketball shoes folks will burn through playing ball. $160.00 /$175.00 max feels right for MJ and Lebron and Kobe. Billion Dollar Nike is milking it's fan base. THIS SHOE IS TRUE TO SIZE even for 2E wide feet.

[@user-vn2rl4zj9p]

This year, they didn't put zoom strobel on any shoe under 200 bucks, so when the Jordan 38 comes out, they want everybody's gonna buy it, honestly its probably a worst shoe than KD 14 and it's 50 bucks more expensive

[@walkman6150]

Who gon tell him that other channels chop shoes in half and run science experiments, with expert analysis in 2023?. This channel has been on absolute cruise control for years now. I feel like the days of casual hoopers half assing reviews has to be coming to an end soon. Sammys main contribution to any shoe review is how many " wipes" he had to do 🤣

This is probably the most negatively biased review I’ve ever heard from Sammy. Disappointed because I really like Sammy’s reviews.
