Air Jordan 35 Review
Pros:
Awesome cushion setup
Very supportive
Cons:
Rubbing around heel/arch
Performance of the Air Jordan 35:
The traction on the Jordan 35 is similar to the 34 and performs just as well. You will get consistently great grip and stopping power - just don't ruin them playing outdoors.
The addition of a large volume Zoom Air unit in the heel makes the cushion of this shoe even more comfortable and responsive.
The materials are premium and have a good mix of old school and new textile materials. They are breathable and don't need breaking in.
The support is even better than the 34 and has nice lateral containment, stability, and ankle support.
Overall the Jordan 35 is an awesome performer that lives up to the hype and the expensive retail price!

The Jordan 35 comes in at $180 which is definitely expensive, but if you want a great performer these are it. This shoe excels in all areas and I think everyone can play in it.

The Jordan 35 is an updated version of the 34 and excels in almost every category. Unfortunately, the fit issue with the nylon cables ruined my ability to be comfortable in the shoe.

Overall, the Jordan 35 performs really well. It has better cushion and materials than the 34, but I didn't like the eclipse plate as much because it was uncomfortable at times.

The Jordan 35 retails for $180 which is pretty steep, but this is a really nice shoe that performs well. Everything about the shoe is amazing besides the traction on dust. Overall, it was extremely fun to play in the AJ XXXV.

The strong points for the sneaker are that the forefoot Zoom unit keeps you close to the ground while staying bouncy, and the upper materials are comfortable and do a good job of keeping you contained. That being said, there are some inconsistencies with the traction, and the insole takes a little bit of breaking in. Overall, the Jordan 35 is an improvement from the 34.

I personally feel like this shoe is an all around upgrade from 34, the only thing that i see 34 beats this one is breathability and weights, which is something you cant avoid by implementing leather (which makes it feel more premium). The only problem I see people complaining about is the flight plate is a bit narrow for arch, but this can be fixed by swapping insoles.

these are the jordan 35 low fyi, luka coulorway. favourite hoop shoe at the moment, cushion is insane!! traction heavily underated in the luka low coulorway once broken in just as good at the kd 14 and 15
addition - zoom unit popped in the forefoot and i’m extremely disappointed, it’s warped and sadly unusable

Mental shoe, nearly every aspect works perfectly except for the break in time. I spent nearly 30 hours in these shoes of hard play before I was happy with the comfort levels to take them everywhere. Even now after a while of not playing in them my feet will hurt for a bit before they settle back down.

I thought it has bouncy cushion but it has good traction and great material great fit not for outdoor because outsole is not hard rubber and my honest opinion on this sneaker is amazing just amazing

Didn’t feel great from the very beginning and became worse with time. Eventually ended up feeling very unbalanced while running in them and decided not to use them anymore for playing ball.

Just like in the Jordan 34, the traction works really well! The tight traction pattern picked up some dust, so I had to wipe occasionally. When the floor was clean the traction was pretty nice.

The traction was not as consistent as I would've liked. On some dustier courts, I experienced slipping. It also doesn't bite as hard as some other shoes on the market right now.

I love this cushion setup. Jordan used the same cushioning in the forefoot as in the 34 and added a new large volume Zoom Air unit in the heel. My feet never hurt - even playing outdoors. The court feel was also pretty nice too!

Jordan brought back the unlocked Zoom Air with a slightly different setup from the 34s. The forefoot is pretty much the same, but the heel is much improved with a large Zoom Air unit. Big players and those that play on their heels should like these a bit more.

They pumped up the Zoom Air in the 35! These are just as bouncy as the 34, if not more, and the improvement in the heel cushioning is noticeable. This is one of the best cushion setups by far.

The Zoom units in the 35 felt great and they provided a lot of impact protection in the heel.

The material on the upper is a big upgrade from the Jordan 34s. I like that they didn't go with lots of textiles and meshes but instead used more premium-feeling materials. It also feels much more comfortable than the 34s.

I had absolutely zero issues with support in this shoe. The eclipse plate and the Flywire are super supportive so the lateral containment and stability are great.

The support is noticeably better than in the Jordan 34 because of a beefier build and better upper materials. The ankle collar also didn't buckle like it did in the 34.

The updated eclipse plate definitely provided more support than the 34, but pressed up onto my foot a little too much making it uncomfortable. The ankle collar was a little too bulky for me and felt suffocating.

The materials do a good job of containing your foot on lateral cuts. The newly implemented lacing system and the extra heel padding really lock your foot into the shoe.
