[@christopherjohnson3614]

Man it's just something about seeing OG colorway Js on court! Just motivating and refreshing.

[@lamontmcdaniels322]

Facts that's why I love og colorways

[@mr.dawson1988]

I love to see people at the rec center that I play at wear retro Jordans.

[@moosaahmed1037]

How old are you you sound like you watched Jordan did u

[@mr.dawson1988]

WhoIsMoosa nah. Im 20 but i do love to hoop in retro jordans though

[@astolfothelyfer369]

@@mr.dawson1988 same without socks on with them 😮‍💨☺️🦶

[@dukestarfighter]

1. Air Jordan 13 2. Air Jordan 14 3. Air Jordan 10 4. Air Jordan 7 5. Air Jordan 11 I didn’t know the OG 14s had articulated zoom like that. I wish that was on the retros 🌠

[@killahgruvz]

13 and 14... Yes, siiir! I believe I can touch the sky (in those)...

[@javierdiaz5089]

Retro 12 the best

[@bigseanpd7302]

@@javierdiaz5089 12s are too bulky. I had the Original flu game 12s and didn't ball in them once because they were so heavy on the feet. I have multiple retros now, but my hard balling days are over. So they are lifestyle collectables now!

[@hhshsksks9593]

@@javierdiaz5089 i agree very comfortable and very durable you can play on any court with 12s

[@kuhtanas7983]

i actually searched up is 13s are hooping shoes cz im gonna wear them so i saw this video and the comments and now im wearing them

[@wanabdulhadi1268]

I was literally just hooping in the air jordan 14's last shot. Really great shoe, absolutely loving it. I did decide to get it after watching your video on it. Never looked back after.

[@classicgameraf]

I like how you said that whenever you see these shoes on court you always say “man, I miss the 90s” cuz I’m the same way whenever I see an AJ 13 or AJ 12 on court

[@donaldburke9745]

ohhh man like i cant get over how much I agree with you personal tastes and this video!! was really happy to see the 14s in there! They are definitely one of my favorites. but i couldnt agree more on this and honestly id use these out of a lot of modern day shoes also

[@teddyp421]

Thank you soo much for this video and list I’ve been conflicted on what Jordan’s to get for on court use it’s funny i have a love for leather shoes and didn’t know how I could transition that into hooping but I’m glad to see I’m not the only one and that I have such iconic options to choose from!

[@solemagus4761]

12's have excellent ankle support. So good in fact I changed into them when I rolled my ankle and tightened them up, And It made me walk around much easier.

[@Ki11er_B]

Yoooo this was coincidence. I was basically thinking about using my jordan retros for balling instead of buying release basketball shoes and suddenly u uploaded a video like this which is great! Very genius! Ur the best and gives us more information for people that is not that in depth knowledgeable in sneakers and giving us an idea how it will go if we decided to use them for playing ball. I just got my second pairs of 12s (my favorite of the retros j's) and I feel bad for having 2 pairs of them but after watching this video it makes me satisfied and happy about what I did lol! Have a good one!

[@b.p.n.1755]

I had all of those in the original version. 13 hands down my favorite all around air Jordan in performance, style, comfort and fit. My favorite looking is the AJ9

[@callmevil]

Excellent comparisons. My top 5 ever to hoop in: 1. AJ 13 2/3. AJ 14, 12 4. Fila 96 / Grant Hill II 5. AJ 11

[@0ace0hitta0]

Really appreciate your videos, your channel. I know everybody loves the 11 but I really digg the other J's in your Vid... I love the 12. Just bought the 14 Candy Canes

[@orincoon5585]

I love hooping in both the Jordan 11's and 12's. Great video and review!

[@youtubeuser6762]

The 13 has got to be it. Retro 13s still maintain that stability and comfort on/off court. I never have a time where i need to rest my feet, it is super comfortable and breathable and is tight enough

[@falcongunner33]

12s are definitely the GOAT performance retro! Love the 11s looks on court but yeah they absolutely shred my pinky toes. Still crossing my fingers for a full wrap up video on the air Jordan Project!

[@SunGrowsJ]

falcongunner YOURE the devil if you buy 11s to hoop in

[@tiimmyy_5255]

They crush the sides of your feet bc they are narrower than most J's

[@danielcox3490]

I love playing in the 13.But the 12 is real nice also.

[@lslonniegee1]

I haven't even looked at this video, I read the title and instantly liked it because... You the best man...

[@jeanalvarado1983]

We're around the same age and from the same era bro and I must say I appreciate your videos so much. I love your channel and you probably have some of the best content. Thanks for Another great video

[@randomdogger5278]

I love the 13’s and 12’s. The 13’s give me a little bit more foot soreness but it’s only a rare occasion so the 12’s take the cake. Plus my favorite players Ray Allen had memorable 13 PE’s and Mike Finley had memorable 12 PE’s. Thanks for the vid Nightwing!

[@JXsneakerhead]

Bro! Most Accurate list ever. The 12s are mosdef Tanks and I see what you did there in the intro with the Bred 11s jumping from the Free throw line 🤣🤣 Dope editing and great Vid as always..Greetings from about to be Cold AF MN❄🔥✊🏽

[@variandavid377]

So funny you put the XIIs on top. I was just commenting that they felt like combat boots to me when I first got them in '97 ( was going into the military too and the last thing I wanted was combat boots for bball shoes)....played one game in them and sold them off. Obviously...I didn't give them a chance to really break in. Especially coming off the XIs the previous year. Love the top 5 you gave.

[@deardoherlambang108]

This is the best basketball jordan retros performance video imo. Good job man.

[@renzanthonysamson9034]

I love watching Jordan retro videos!😍😍

[@BurnettVice]

I like playing with retro basketball shoes because they remember me when I was younger and you could use shoes for both playing and casual. Now I'm playing with Nike Air Maestro 2 LTD and are awesome. Maybe you can test for next review.

[@beb7427]

12 and 13 is undisputed, loved playing in those until the air units popped. I also liked playing in sixes (with orthotics), the upper is nice.

[@LeBaldJames23-]

Did both shoes pop?

[@aidenharker5139]

Wow the elevens are dope. Absolute FIRE🔥🔥🔥

[@dancorvalan3205]

Great list bro! I completely agree with u. Great video

[@chriscampana89]

So glad you did this video!!

[@christiansevilla3633]

Thanks for the review! This is very helpful.

[@InZaneKicks]

Such a great list,completely agree all pairs listed are solid go tos to this day.I also play in the I's,IVs,VIs and VIIs.

[@jojodrew9730]

How do the 6s perform?

[@braddean8513]

Air Jordan 7 was the shoe i used in high school and one of my personal favorites were the Jordan XX2

[@dloc6198]

Jordan 8s because once you strap them up your feet are locked in. Best retro Jordan to hoop in for me.

[@larkinhardaway]

My favorite 8's are the Aqua's hands down. Never got my ankles broke in a pair of 8's.

[@leteizjordan298]

Mine is the 11s

[@xxxod]

It's ugly asl tho, looking like a skecher

[@hanzoRnG]

Wearing them rn

[@tiimmyy_5255]

@@hanzoRnG What colorway

[@gp5932]

You hit it on the head! The 12s are my absolute favorite to play in. Most comfortable, supportive, durable. I would say the WORST I have ever played in was the 7s. No support at all and flimsy. They fell apart over time as well. The 8s are my second choice. Super supportive and comfort. Only draw back was they were very hot and I would get athletes foot in them.

[@thedudeunchained7583]

The Jordan 8 were always my favorites...until I had one pair of the Jordan 8 2.0....if they bring these back, I will buy 3 pairs...the traction on the 2.0 so soooo much better and they also fixed the pinky area that would always rip open over time...but fully agree with you, the 8s are awesome to play in...

[@IAmInfinitus208]

Funny enough, MJ did actually get athlete's feet during their first 3-peat in those 8s. Supportive, yes, lockdown, yes but I have no idea why Tinker forgot to put some degree of breathability or some light materials at the time. Very likely he was getting close to burnout even before the 15s.

[@edmalone7374]

Just coming across this one (only recently sub’d this year so I’m going back through the WearTesters catalog to watch previous videos). Of the retros to ball in I’m going with the 13. Doubled up on the black flints which is what I now wear on the driveway court and while practicing with my daughter at the gym. It’s also a lifestyle shoe for me, so there won’t be a shortage of 13s in my lineup ☝🏾

[@Da5thProject]

I've been playing in the Quick 6 right now and I love them. Tried Brandblack this year as well but they didn't fit true to size as I'd hoped

[@Postc0ital_mal0ne]

13s have been treating me just right. Though i rock them casually.

[@LordUltraboost]

I don't give a damn about how late this comment is, but I wanted to say that I appreciate that you are not some hype reviewer. I love that you bring the shoe back to it's basic form..ON COURT! I remember running these shoes up and down the lines, now I only see kids selling them over priced. Good on you, brother. I am a sneakerhead myself and collect "MY" grails, but always appreciate someone who brings them back on court.

[@mr.dawson1988]

So true. I think that if you’re a sneakerhead that doesn’t know how to play basketball then you’re missing something.

[@danklogan3105]

I think the 10, 11, 12 , 13, and 14 are the way to go, the 12 being my number 1

[@gerryrojas4663]

Jordan 11 is my #1 It last me for 3 years (first year only to go out casual) till have no sole & got holes. Yes that much I like it. I used them every day mostly outdoor cement court. Unfortunately the relaunch are not made equal to originals, now is cheaper materials & almost 3 times the price for it.

[@ErnaMcburna]

I played in Jordan’s exclusively starting with the 7…the 14’s were my favorite to play in!

[@thakid691]

Ur list is spot on , my favs as well

[@joshuaarjona694]

Jordan 17 are def my fav. Best traction and good comfort for me personally.

[@aaronle9326]

12s are my favorite to rock off and on court

[@just4kicks950]

Chris value your opinion & you definitely know your retro's !! After ordering the fire red 5 lows & seeing them in hand 😣 LOL WTF on a Og colorway & giving us pleather. I still Harbor bad feelings with j.b doing us like that ( dirty ) but still buying every dope release that drops 😃 . 5s are in my top # 10 & fell hard for them Cemen't 5 are just a complete masterpiece IMO & gave us decent quality leather to boot . What I wanted to say thanks for sending another sneaker head in the right direction. Big Salute 🙌🔥🔥🔥😎

[@mrgriffey6026]

The Flint grey 13s is my 2nd all time favorite and then the Black Cat 13's GOAT 13. Red Flint are dope great to play hoops in glad they put in the polyeurothane insoles!!

[@willydelrosario5033]

For me the 13’s then the 11’s , did played in both

[@llGotemll]

ive had plenty of jordans over the last 25 + years. the jordan 10 is def one on my on court basketball sneakers for sure.

[@kyzerdelbusto5490]

Good quality video man keep it up

[@jamesvzfighter]

I love those Jordan 11s. I love the regular just as much as the Jordan 11 low. I can always feel like MJ in space jams.

[@Diezelz]

So dope thanks man!

[@jadenc6564]

great review keep it going 👍

[@sdawg4834]

Finally, someone who gets it!!! The Air Jordan 12 are hands down THE BEST SNEAKER I HAVE EVER BALLED IN!!!

[@Dibanator]

The other day I had that song you play with the on court shots stuck in my head

[@Tiger24kicks]

My favorite is the 10, 8, 13, 11 and my favorite to ball in the 12 also like the 19

[@jarontaylor2867]

Great vid ad always...i have an unpopular choice ...maybe its just my foot...but i love the 4s..i got the raptor 4 colorway...and thats my go to shoe for jordan...its super comfortable to wear off court and on too...i normally.wear Kobes 95 % of time..but out of the jordans my tops and recommends 4s 14s 7s

[@Maal7432]

Great video, bro. Love it.

[@someguy1865]

7s are godly...good to play in and just wear casually 12s feel like bricks The 17s and 33s are also not too bad

[@brauprx]

Nice video and pretty nice colorways in this video too (love those cherry XII, had them OG back in the day) My top 5 is similar: 1. XIII 2. XII 3. XIV 4. II 5. X I have the XI at 6 because of that exactly area at the pinky toe that gives me serious blisters everytime, the VII at 7, the I at 8 (insole change needed) V at 9 and VIII at 10. Just J's from the Chicago days.

[@Kingf3arless]

Braulio Pérez OG cherry 12s are poop

[@benjaminkitchen7562]

would you do a follow up on this reviewing the on court performance of the 15-23 or so? I know you have the AJ project but I would love to see some newer content on this era of forgotten jordans

[@Herbao69]

Those Jordan’s are pure art and design with high performance components.

[@percival8193]

I think 7s are actually a really good ball shoe as well. It has a lot of stability while maintaining is comfortability

[@PivotMaster474]

The 7s are his number 4 in this video lol

[@yukangan5160]

12 is good. The only problem is that back in the heel is hella clunky.

[@aceman42]

I prefer the 13s.

[@leteizjordan4504]

I prefer 10s and 6s and 12s

[@aceman42]

Le'Teiz J 6s to play bball? My feet almost died wearing that for basketball. It does not have ample cushion thats why Mj double sock em when he wore them back in the day.

[@aceman42]

Nintariz i think they put good cushion back in the 2019 black infrared jordan 6. I can feel it on my pair. It has good cushioning

[@jayg5650]

10s are probably the most underrated retro in every way

[@VSarquiza]

Do a Top Five Team Jordans list or a Top Five Favorite Nightwing Story Arcs.

[@WearTesters]

Which RETRO Air Jordan is YOUR favorite to hoop in? Thanks for watching!!!

[@brianvilla1467]

WearTesters taxi low 12

[@rzende]

7s. Can't go wrong with the retro midsoles and huarache sockliner

[@newera_tb7294]

Low 12s, and 4s.

[@youngballout2373]

WearTesters what about the 2s they were pretty good for me

[@robbyatmaja6896]

The IX

[@rafaelmacasias3501]

I'm just wishing that there will be a Jordan 11 protro with full length zoom in it... But I realized they would probably charge us $250 on that.

[@SomeOfMyFavoriteThings]

Rafael Macasias They’re nearly charging that as it is. Might as well upgrade them.

[@leteizjordan298]

Or 220

[@lebanesegigachad8421]

And 350 CAD for me 😐

[@sophialiovas2257]

The sad thing is that I will still pay it

[@scrappy3133]

The full length air is comfy tho....

[@alexfreese8100]

Great vid! Thank u

[@kenifairwell]

You on point Gawd, with this one, "95"- "99" is the best Jordan's but honorable mention should go to to the VIII and the XXI "06"

[@shadyangels1789]

I play mostly in the post but have loved playing in 9s

[@robertdablobert05]

I just got my first pair of Jordans 4 weeks ago and they are hands down a good basketball shoe. They are the Jordan why not zer0.3 i belive and they are my favorite to use.

[@DonAntero360]

I am with you , my list is the same I am 41 years old, 12's are the best...I will put 7s on the list as number 6, they are playable, underrated shoe.

[@baller8184]

I was on a trip to america and i saw the class of 2002 jordan 13 going for 130 at an outlet in tucson az, man i shouldve pulled the trigger on those. A few days later at the hollywood walk of fame i saw a guy wearing the class of 2002 jordan 13

[@isiahsanders7466]

I seen the 10s in the nba the most when it comes to retros

[@23isbackcl]

I like the 14 16 18 6 those feel pretty good to play in

[@usernamerandom88]

My Top 5: 1. 11's 2. 13's 3. 12's 4. 8's 5. 5's BUT if the court is absolutely lack of traction I will go ALL DAY for the Jordan 1's. I don't know what they did with the traction but you can play even in the slipperiest courts.

[@michaelcox3741]

I've looked every where for any air jordan 10s or 6s in size 10.5 and have wanted em ever sense inwas little and to this day I yet to have em. I've looked every where in East Tennessee

[@arthurreyes2632]

12 are great. Indestructible, supportive, excellent traction

[@bigdofba]

I like the 13 to hoop. Last time I put on my concord 11s though and tried to hoop in them they hurt like hell...

[@manglu859]

I will say 13 is my top choice, even over current generation Jordan's. Man, really miss those golden years.

[@leteizjordan4504]

I love your jumpshot

[@theimstorm689]

I played in the original 13's, it was the black and that beige/brown combo and I wore them down to the ground literally. I mean there was a hole on the bottom of the shoe :)

[@jrighteous1984]

Had my best moments hooping in the Jordan 12's

My favorite Air Jordan to hoop in was the Jordan XX(20)
