Jordan Tatum 2 Review
Pros:
Lateral containment is excellent
Air Strobel is comfortable
Cons:
Outsole is a dust magnet
Materials run hot
Performance of the Jordan Tatum 2:
The Jordan Tatum 2 would be a better shoe if it weren't for the traction. The outsole collects dust quickly, which hinders performance.
The full-length Air Strobel is a step up in cushioning. It feels balanced but not bouncy.
Jordan Brand uses lower-quality materials, but the durability is solid. The shoe is lightweight and comfortable. Heat retention could be better.
The upper construction provides extra stability. The lateral containment is excellent, too.
Overall, the Jordan Tatum 2 improves on the construction and stability of the previous model, but the unreliable traction on dust is too much of a drawback.

The Jordan Tatum 2 is light and responsive, but the performance on dust is not good. You have to keep the outsole dust-free at all costs.

The Jordan Tatum 2 is an upgrade on the Tatum 1. I like the Air Strobel cushioning; the support and lockdown were also solid. I don't like the materials and the traction is not top-tier.

I did not enjoy my time playing in the Jordan Tatum 2. The side panels ruin the shoe for me. There isn't enough flexibility built in.
