[@Leafshinobicaptainyamato]

They just need to hire you at this point you clearly understand the brand better than whoever’s in charge over there

[@allyw7405]

Did you not see the shoes he made, wore out like it was track day tyres.

[@Malleus2010]

Why? So they pay him less and make him work ridiculous hours? Nike Product Management are at the bottom salary wise in their discipline.

[@biilyblast64]

Nike has lost its intrinsic reward. Ppl go to Nike now because they can say they worked at Nike. The real creatives are making their own shoe. 😂

[@itstoonbruh]

They would just piss him off by not listening. He would go to work and die a little inside everyday😪

[@JoshuaNazworth]

@@Leafshinobicaptainyamato okay this is just my honest opinion this is why they made the Air Jordan 39 white sneakers like they did Air Jordan Ones sneakers clearly point as day like that because Michael Jordan said he wanted his sneakers the Air Jordan 39 sneakers to look like that has a problem with Jeffrey Michael Jordan yeah you can bring it up to him but he's not going to tell you why he did what he did he told the guys to create the shoes like that and when Paolo Banchero tried them on my Orlando Magic I said no problem with them.? @Leafshinobicaptainyamato

[@TheMashandDrum]

Nobody and I mean NOBODY breaks down a shoe like Nightwing. I grabbed a pair and looking forward to trying these out.

They remind me of a CP3 model

Wow, that’s true.

[@jasongarcia8733]

I was born in ‘75 so my movies were Goonies, Indiana Jones, Star Wars, Last Starfighter, Better Off Dead, Back to the Future, Vacation. Yes one or two of those might be R or PG13 rated but I was a latch key kid so I had plenty of unsupervised time.

[@NoleInJax]

@@jasongarcia8733 Goonies for sure

Yes all of those plus Golden Child, Howard the Duck, and Space Balls!

[@eizenga]

[@Mrich248]

Heyyyyy you guyyyyyyyys 🥴🏴‍☠️

[@Chris-pm8qp]

I haven’t bought a signature Air Jordan model since the XXII. When I first saw these, idk why I want these but I’ll wait until they go on sale, in a different color

[@DAY2DAYY]

Cause MJ designed it himself,every part

[@NY_7]

The Air Jordan 39 actually look really nice, not too much over the top design going on with them, which is nice. But from what Chris was saying, it seems more like a casual everyday sneaker than an on the court go hard sneaker. I gotta head to Dicks, Finish Line or Foot Locker to check them out. As for a 10yr olds type of movie to watch, the list Chris went through is great. I would never worry about too much about expanding a kids movie library. As long as they're happy, healthy (physically and mentally) and having a good time with what they like, then its all good to me and they'll eventually get into other things just like kids do with food.

[@Daylight-nu3rt]

No they don't. Those are just dressed up LA Gears.

[@AsianEyes007]

I personally think these look cool! But the biggest thing that attracted me to the shoe is the full length air zoom unit COMBINED with ZoomX foam. No shank plate kinda worries me, but maybe these could be my casual hoop shoes when I’m taking it easy. Kinda sounds like these shoes would be good for forwards and bigs.

[@benhoward9572]

Kobe 11 didn't have shank plate either. The last great kobe. Even this page acknowledged this and didn't complain

[@thehellezell]

For the movie recs: my 9 y.o. loved Beetlejuice, Goonies, Batman 89, and Scream. Your mileage may vary.

[@gbird5000]

Ferris Beuhlers Day Off, Terminator 2 and the original TMNT were my favorite movies when I was around that age. Also, these shoes look really cool. I like the style of them and I don't typically like the look of newer (past 11) Jordans. That said, if I had a pair, I probably wouldn't try to ball in them because they look like a pair of sneakers for casual use as opposed to performance.

[@hightolerance8728]

Then Movies are A1… all of these movies are my favorites too. I was born in 88, my Dad wanted to name me Ferris bc it was one of his favorite movies. My Moms wasn’t having it 😂 So hence my middle name is Ferris. TERMINATOR 2 is 🐐’d

[@USEDrichard]

What about Flubber, Hook, Jumanji or Mrs. Doubtfire. Robin Williams family films are timeless.

[@juanjuarez6416]

Agreed! These are also great

[@matthewisaiah8345]

This is the beauty of the power of our money. Personally I’m not impressed by this Jordan shoe, now that’s not a diss to anyone who wants to buy this or likes it. More power to you! I just feel I can get way more out of the adidas AE for LESS money. I want quality vs a brand name and Jordan and Nike seem to be dropping the ball lately. That’s just me though.

[@yassver]

Although it’s impossible to buy the AE

[@ryuixyui]

AE1 sucks. It is the best shoe ever made. Shit is so bad no one knows what the midsole is made out of.

[@11beats]

Definitely Nike prices stay the same but the quality goes down

[@moriellymoproblems7842]

AE1 is one of the most overrated shoes of this decade.

[@specialk864]

the zoom x makes it worth buyin, imo. ZoomX > Boost/Light Boost

[@tilony]

Forget about the shoe, the video editing is next level.

[@anthonychristides3810]

[@Eazy6874]

[@traydizzle7721]

Facts!

[@clintguia7984]

the black pairs are nice ngl, but for me the all red pair is the best

[@luciousthomas6141]

Yeah I'm interested in seeing what color ways will come out for these.

[@hellaguapo]

Truth be told: Rookie of the Year, The Sandlot, Little Big League, and Angels In The Outfield were my movies growing up and it fostered my love of baseball. So, if you’re trying to get the kid into hoops, maybe a Like Mike or The Air Up There?

[@Poundz978]

“You play ball like a Giirrrrl”

[@Poundz978]

Little giants was a good one too

[@shawners]

Angels in the outfield!

[@Powerwave83]

Oh, and about the 39s? Honestly I'm quite tempted to rock them as casual shoes, they look insanely comfortable. But maybe it's just me.

[@QBLOUNT]

I love the silhouette of the shoe (big Jordan fan so a lil bias 1-38) it looks great on foot kinda reminds me of the Jordan 3 with the red jump man logo on the tongue (WC) it’s a great looking shoe for me on and off the court

[@ccofferi6984]

The triangles with the perforations on the toe cap also represent the perforated triangle designs on the side of the Jordan retro 9. Great informative vid as always. Greatly appreciate all your vids.

[@shiznickmasta]

I like these man, I retired from the court last year but think I'm coppin these to wear to work with a suit coat. They are slick.

[@shmickmik]

I haven't really felt a certain way about a shoe in a long time and to each his own. But these 39s really put a spotlight on how great the 38s were.

[@willstyers7958]

Bro it seems like the 29 came out 2 years ago I was obsessed with that shoe. Can’t believe it’s been 10 years

[@johncampbell9812]

I love the 30s

[@Aron-t6m]

29 best Jordan ever

[@IAmInfinitus208]

What actually surprised me was reading that MJ actually came back to give some input on the design after so long. Either way, the first Jordan to have ZoomX foam (and Zoom Air added as a plus) for the first time is a plus despite no torsion support!

[@almerbremer4305]

No tortion is so cheap from Nike. Shoes wear out super fast this way.

[@chococraker]

Good looking, but CP3 refined to me. I like the full length zoom but not sure about the support part. Will look forward to see them on Sale next holiday. I’m still hooping with my 37 along with my retros. Performance shoes for intense games and retros for casual buckets.

[@TWB124]

Some of my favorite movies were Howard the duck, The mighty ducks, The Little Giants, and big trouble in little China

[@hooprealm]

I really like these tbh, seems like a slight turn from recent models but keeping the best tech

[@unghole]

I like these too. They're like really well cushioned boxing or wrestling shoes. Great for court feel and being nimble. True test will be trying them on.

[@justin747]

10:17 The very first thing I thought when I saw these was the Quick 6 and I think that’s why I like this shoe so much. Need these 39s, but on a deep discount.

[@andykuo336]

Can’t wait for your performance review on 39 and their torsion support. I saw some oversea reviews and they are loving the new torsional support “system”😂

[@dookieshoes619]

10 year old me (1990-1991): Indiana Jones and The Last Crusade, Hot Shots and Gremlins were in constant rotation for me.

[@Sammylocka]

They definitely stopping at 45 Countdown pack gonna be crazy 22/23 & 36/9 pack gonna 🔥

[@MarkDaposala-p8q]

The Jumpman logo on the tongue reminds me at Jumpman logo at AJ9 at the side where they're facing opposite...

[@Zo-Killa]

I wish they would've went with some OG colorways for those. I like em don't get me wrong. But I see so much more potential in em than what i've seen

[@fiorap11]

Dude that discount code worked great! thank you! Got a $200 bag for half the price that’s incredible

[@veryproudfatherTN]

Top Gun got me pumped up as a kid… and still gets me pumped up as an adult. 😎🤘🏻

[@Tommiart]

Got a 9-10 year old. We have watched Invader Zim: Enter the Florpus until he knows it by heart.

[@redx7536]

The neverending story

[@anoopmathew82]

3 Ninjas! One thing I did notice with my own kids is that the older kid movies have a different pacing than new ones so they often just tune out before it gets going (since most are a little slower to get going). We just watched Angels in the Outfield, also they got into the Homeward Bound movies for a bit.

[@LeroyJSmith]

I loved Remember the Titans and Glory Road around that age.

[@amrosh791]

I love the look. It’s clean

[@7MBOYD]

3 ninjas and the 3 ninjas Kickback! Saw those so many times! Also Surf ninjas was a good one as well.

[@affettboy]

My son(7) and I just watched the 3 ninjas movies. He loved them, plenty of action and humour. He loved how they were very much Home Alone with karate. (Also the Home Alone movies are a big hit)

[@TheJay1976]

My son 7 he is exactly the same way but the 1st movie that he loved so far was rookie of the Year

[@Andrew77MUFC]

Actually do like the design on these and seems a consensus they are quite comfortable but at that price point not sure would be totally confident in how good a sneaker to ball in with some of the issues highlighted in this vid. As a few others have mentioned can't go wrong with those Robin Williams family movies. Mrs. Doubtfire was one of my all-time favorite movies as a kid and still is tbh , i watched it countless times when i was younger. I was about 8 or 9 when Mrs. Doubtfire came out in theaters , went to see it in theaters and was a big fan of RW and his movies ever since. Probably one of the earliest movies (Mrs. Doubtfire) i remember laughing out loud that much. And being that age pretty much grew up with his movies as they came out in theaters and as i got older watched pretty much any type of film or series he was a part of ; probably why I really felt it when he passed away.

[@datharo5]

I know it's not the same zoom unit, but Chris mentioning how unstable the 39 feels reminded me of the Jordan 31 review with the unlocked zoom unit... Then i realized after looking up the review on the weartesters website that it doesn't look to have a shank either, I guess that's why the 31 Russell Westbrook PE has the 29/30 midsole and outsole instead. I think it's awesome what they did with caging the zoom x, it looks like a better version of what Adidas did with caging boost in the BYW models

[@jr5mics]

You should show him Willow and Time Bandits. Not sure the effects hold up but what a great old school way to intro him to the fantasy world.

[@pinapple9999]

Can’t wait to see these on sale fantastic hoop shoe and the main thing I see this as are Jordan 9 Flyknit with way more tech

[@Bruhda1]

It's casually pleasing to the eye I love the look of this new Air Jordan but I'll need that all black or that red colorway they're fiya🔥

[@Cocothegorilla05]

A few films from my child hood that might be worth checking out are: Searching for Boby Fischer Little Big League Super Mario Bros (1993) The Big Green The Sandlot Twister Jurrasic Park Hocus Pocus The Little Rascals Jumanji LIttle Giants Home Alone Hook The Santa Clause Jack Richie RIch First Kid All great films from my child hood, i hope this helps give you a bigger list to pull from to help your son on his film journey.

QOTD? At 11, I was already watching each and any horror film I could find. Back when I was 8 the big brother of a friend of mine made me watch Aliens. From there on, the rest is history... 😅

[@bymohenski]

These are perhaps the best and most attractive Jordans I have seen so far, and I believe I will get a pair at the earliest opportunity. btw. I think a bunch of reviewers have fully misunderstood J Type 39, not You! Through market analysis, Jordan shoes in the last decade were often purchased as a fashion accessory, at least 97% of buyers ( m/w ) will buy them for the image and the good looks to wear them every day in the neighborhood, city, or village, to be on their feet all day. In terms of appearance and comfort, they go well with most tracksuits and cargo pants, and simply catch the eye in a good way. Remember, 97% of users enjoy following sports on television, and in that regard, I think this is a bullseye. If you are looking for Jordan shoes for basketball, there is the Jordan Doncic in Jordan Lineup! They are like the Mercedes SL, a grand tourer, perfect in every way, made of the finest materials, but not for racing, rather for cruising and showing off ;) Greetings from Croatia :) Odgovori

I think kids of this generation need to see the growth and progress of past movies into the present. I know super hero movies are the best for that but maybe like Jurassic park , I think it introduces a horror feel , what kid doesn’t love dinosaurs, and then they have recent adaptations to keep him interested. If he’s into anime and super heroes he def needs to watch movies who have characters he can also relate to like a protagonist. Turbo man is also a good choice for kids

[@edunpeal]

This also looks closer to a low more than a mid cut😮

[@JayJay-sk3iu]

Little Giants- definitely a classic

[@jonesjarel]

The logos facing each other on the tongue are a play on the original AJ9 Logos facing each other.

[@keenanwagner9891]

I was younger but: Biker mice from mars. Gremlins 1st one. Little soldiers (or toy soldiers - for kids is awesome)

[@rrrosc]

I didn’t scroll down much so please forgive me if it’s been pointed out already… the logos facing each other is another call back to the OG 9. The logos on the lateral side of the shoes faced each other when pointing the shoes towards each other.

[@PointWithin]

I’m looking for Bulls colorways. That should be the default before any others. That outsole is gonna yellow like heck.

[@rafaelmacasias3501]

For my 10 yr old self (or in general), The OG Karate Kid Trilogy imo is great.

[@badasazninvasion]

i think they had the logos on the tongue to face each other since the 23 and 39 has a mirror symmetry so conceptually it fit

[@ShadVrinn]

When I was 10, it was all about Top Gun. Although The Three Musketeers is an amazing movie.

[@TripleEhEnt]

Fav movie as a kid was Flight of the Navigator

[@Baseline2BaselineUK]

That was an awesome review man! JB seemed to have leaned heavily on storytelling and the base materials, going more “premium” with the leather and look etc but that torsional support assessment and how freely it moves as you showed was a surprise. Was that a decision to go as full-on and “free” like a Nike Free or running shoe thing, I don’t know but not having a shank, carbon fibre, flight plate or something sturdy in the midsole or bottom was a step away from the usual and a definite surprise. It’s been said it’s the most MJ himself was involved in the design for a bit but I guess that was more look and feel than performance surely cuz im assuming at his age he wasn’t one of the weartesters lol. If he was and it was in his playing days, I’m guessing he’d have said something about it. Look forward to hear the performance review on these but again, an awesome looking shoe which will definitely be great off court!

[@MusicJaySo]

As an 80s baby I never thought I would like any Jordan’s past 14…. I now own models 30-38 these are next! Allllllrighty then… bumblebee tuna 🍣

[@richardpye749]

They look really good and that midsole set up has me drooling but no way I'm paying that price for them. For movies, I'd try and explore around his other interests a little.

[@BeatleDustino]

I’m liking what I’m seeing. But yeah, they do look like a more casual shoe. Which is great for me as that’s how I wear mine. I know. Modern performance shoes aren’t worn casually. Well, back in the day they were and I’m bringing it back. Plus, my 38 lows are some of the most comfortable shoes I’ve ever worn. Guessing these will be even better. Just waiting for a different colorway. As for QOTD. I was a huge fan of the Back to the Future movies back when I was young. Still am today. Pretty sure at 10 yo I could recite the original line for line as I watched it so much. Think they’re all on Netflix now.

[@joserod05]

The sandlot for sure, at the end of every summer it’s a must. It was my favorite at that age

[@dieselpower1330]

I’m thinking the logos on the tongue are like that to represent Jordan being able to play both ways. Seems like a major part of the theme so it makes sense to me.

[@Cowah]

I bet the reversed Jumpman on the left tongue is a nod to the reverse Jumpman on the side of the OG 9s.

[@wkffchameleons]

White Fang, Iron Will are good movies if he likes dogs. The Bear is another good animal movie.

Guys I like your channel - with sincerity, I would say worry less about getting your son to watch movies, and more about encouraging your son to READ. The books are going to be a LOT more beneficial in the long-run. And there are so many cool, and beneficial books for him to learn from and enjoy. I got my son reading by introducing him to graphic novels ( comics ) now in his 20s, he loves reading all kinds of material. And yeah, he's smart as a whip. Good books are the way to go!

[@jstar_the_poet]

They look so nice, though I will probably be going for a colorway with more black in it. It’s weird; I see more of the 29 than the 9, and maybe even more of the 3 than the 9? The Sol colorway reminds me a little of the White Cement 3. Am I way off? Great video as always! As far as movies go, I feel like what I enjoyed as a ten year old in 1990 might not actually be appropriate for ten year olds. For instance, I really enjoyed Days of Thunder with Tom Cruise, but that’s really more for an older audience. I liked Gremlins a lot, and I watched Gremlins 2 in theaters at 10, I think. Big YES to Mighty Ducks, The Sandlot, etc.!
