Jordan Zion 4 Review
Pros:
Bouncy and comfortable cushioning
Durable and supportive upper materials
Cons:
Heel slippage
Cheap, non-breathable upper
Performance of the Jordan Zion 4:
Zion Williamson's fourth signature shoe is a niche performer providing decent value for the price.
The traction performance is decent, especially on clean courts. However, the outsole picks up dust and can be inconsistent on dirtier floors.
Jordan Brand once again uses a drop-in midsole in the Zion 4. The Cushlon 3.0 is thin but responsive. The main draw of this setup is the full-length Zoom Strobel beneath the drop-in. It feels bouncy and plush.
Materials are not premium but are supportive. Containment is not an issue with this upper setup.
Most reviewers mention some form of discomfort with the narrow toe area. The fit requires a break-in period to become more comfortable. There are also complaints of heel slippage.
Outside of the heel slippage, the rest of the shoe has impressive support thanks to the thick upper.
If the shoe fits you well, the Jordan Zion 4 is a solid performer for the price, thanks to its cushioning, which is a standout feature.

You need to break in the traction for a good performance. It feels nice but is not top-tier.
