Shoe looks hideous along with the clothing. Nike and adidas used to have good designs. Now they are in a race to the bottom

I am curious about the shoes but the kits are just turrible. Good though as it will save me some money moving forward.

Ah, interesting! The "Flyplate" first found in the running line (?) is showing up in tennis. It's a carbon fiber midsole plate that's super stiff and translates to more propulsion. Looks like it might be wrapping up and holding in the mid foot in the tennis implementation of the technology. Or perhaps that's just for aesthetics and the actually plate is still fully underfoot.

Its a littler closer to the Jordan Eclipse Plate being it is a hollow midfoot and it also was derived from the running Flyplate. Started in the Jordan 34, refined in the 35; there is now an even crazier JumpFrame on the Zoom GT Jump (a crazy tech advanced looking shoe).

The Air Jordan XXXIV is an Exercise in Reductive Design

Stripping away materials from the tooling and upper, the 34th Air Jordan signature shoe gives athletes only what they need to perform.

So I know when they were on a competitors website, it suggested a February release date. Strange we haven’t heard more about this shoe by now.

The eclipse plate reminds me of the Lotto SynPulse tech

Not a bad design at all, an improvement over the Zoom Turbo - the lines are sleeker and looks to have the same cushioning tech as the Air Jordan 34. You're getting a large volume Zoom Air unit directly under the forefoot instead of foam, so the feeling will be amazing - plush but quick and responsive, not an oxymoron. Anyone who's familiar with how nice Zoom Air can feel knows what I'm talking about. I'm excited to try these out. Rounded outsole is reminiscent of Kyrie Irving's signature shoes.

Well I think is great to have cushioning under the forefoot but what about under the heel?? I think the Air should be in both spots like the GP Turbos

I actually think foam cushioning under the heel is adequate. You’re mostly on the balls of your feet anyway during competitive play.

I think the VC4 could have a bit more cushioning under the heel and thats why the GP Turbos were so good (Extremely Cushioned)

Feb 5th for most sizes on TW (US)!

What worries me is that only forefoot Zoom Air is mentioned in the description, so not full-length double zoom air like on GP Turbo :/

No weight info given for now also

Will they launch with a clay sole version do you know?

I wonder if they'll have a full length "shank" like the GP Turbos too.

I would expect a clay version hopefully closer to clay season. I remember getting the GP Turbo clay as soon as they were available in France but it was already late July (2020). That being said, Roland-Garros was postponed from end of May to October that year, with most clay tournaments before RG being canceled due to the pandemic.

The product page on TW mentions " Midfoot shank plate provides rigidity for stability while having enough flexibility for easy heel to toe transition. " ==> Flyplate

Since there is no mention of double-stack Zoom Air, I don't think there will be a full-length plastic shank like on the GP Turbos

Ordered a pair of the AO color way, I'm skeptical on the durability but also interested to see how it feels. I was a fan of the flight plate in the Jordan 28s and hoping it'll have a similar feel. The color way is also hard to pass up even if they're not great for tennis. We'll see!

These are an amazing fit. Snug, but comfy. The outsole felt a little clunky right out of the box, but the feeling went away soon. One concern is the tread is very weird and may be a problem for aggressive stops and starts. I am also worried that the hollowed out midsole will collapse after hard usage.

We’re not talking about pros we’re talking about consumers. People moaning over vapor x and vapor 9.5 need to get over it. If this logic applied we’d still be on iPhone 5. I’m playing with GPs currently but clearly they were a blip if they’re ready to scrap them after 1 year. They need a way bigger face on the GP than tiafoe if they were going to be anything. That’s like cilic being the face of prestige

cheap shot at grand slam winner cilic being compare to guy who’s never won anything other than low level 250’s and is way overrated

Just got these in US Men's 9.5. Surprised that they're actually pretty roomy in the forefoot for me. I don't feel any cushion/bounce in the forefoot while walking around. Heel is higher feeling, reminiscent of the Air Max Generation of Breathes.

For reference, I wear a 10 in the GP Turbo, Vapor Xs and 9.5 in the Cage 4, Vapor Pro, Zoom Zero.

Thank god. Could not make the GP Turbo work for me at all. True to size and it is RIP pinky toe.
Size up 0.5 and it is RIP heel lockdown. Wanted to like those shoes but could not.

How was the heel slippage compared to the vapor x and cage 4?
Click to expand...
Didn't have heel slippage in Vapor X. Never played in the Cage 4 (just know my size from try-ons). I use all the lace holes in the GP Turbo to get a good lockdown, sometimes at the cost of my ankle skin (when I'm wearing no-show socks). GP Turbos are my go-to. I might grab more as they go on sale.

So I'm guessing you prefer the gp turbo over the zoom court nxt? Cushioning nowhere close to the turbo? how is the weight?

I loved the cushion and bounce of the gp turbo but they were narrow and one of the air pockets exploded on me on my second pair. so ive been gunshy. but the cushioning was unbelievable.
