Jordan Tatum 1 Review
Pros:
Comfortable materials
Bouncy and responsive cushioning
Cons:
Dust affects the traction
Bizarre support setup
Performance of the Jordan Tatum 1:
Jayson Tatum's first signature shoe introduces a unique traction setup that reviewers called inconsistent. It performs on clean courts, but dust causes issues.
The cushioning was universally praised, by reviewers, for being bouncy underneath the forefoot and comfortable under the heel.
The materials are light, breathable, and comfortable.
There are no performance issues with the shoe's support, but reviewers said the setup is bizarre and feels weird under the arch.
Overall, the Jordan Tatum 1 is still a solid first shoe in Tatum's line. It's the lightest Jordan shoe, and the Zoom Air delivers.

I felt amazing playing in the Jordan Tatum 1 on clean courts. The bounce in the forefoot felt great, the materials are light, and the traction works well. Just be careful on dusty courts.

I enjoyed playing in the shoe but something that really annoyed me was the way I would slip if any amount of dust was on the shoe. You literally might fold in half if you aren’t keeping up with wipes on dusty courts. Other than that the shoe preformed surprisingly well on clean courts, nice cushion and locked me in nicely. Just please don’t hoop with these on dusty courts. Something u did notice about other peoples shoes is that they’d break easily. If you’re
a lighter guard you should be fine.

Bought these after the lightest shoe by Jordan hype. They look slick and are comfortable. However after just 2 games, the plastic support on the distal broke down/cracked. Right after, I started seeing the netting break down on the medial, rendering the show useless. If the customers shoes and players shoes are identical as advertised, there is no way this shoe doesn't completely fall apart every time Jayson Tatum wears them. I should state that I am 6’4 and around 190 lbs.Faulty design overall.

The JT1 is PHENOMENAL for some player!! BUT for people who need security JT1 is definily the not a good option.
The Traction and the cushining is awesome but the durability is terrible.
The material is comfortable and thin but not durable else.
The Lockdown and stability is average as i have problems with my hell and ankle i was afraid of twisting both with JT1 but the fact that he's so low to the ground helps a bit with stability but he doesn't go into my rotation.
The fit is extremelly well.

This shoe is good for everything but playing basketball in them. I like the design,it’s superlight that makes it comfortable to wear. After the first training I felt it okay although the lightweight came with a price, support tends toward the jersey number of Tatum,especially during sideway movements and cuts. Also after a few indoor basketball sessions the plastic outsole cracked at two points which made the aforementioned support problem even worse. And this is not budget price category…
