Jordan Zoom Separate Review
Pros:
Forefoot support is outstanding
Great cushion toward the front of the shoe
Cons:
Materials are not of the best quality
Performance of the Jordan Zoom Separate:
The Jordan Zoom Separate is the latest budget-friendly model in the Jordan brand lineup.
It has grippy traction that plays well on most court surfaces.
Cushioning is the aspect of the shoe that stands out the most. The air unit in the forefoot makes this shoe great for forefoot-heavy players looking for impact protection.
Materials aren't the most durable, but they get the job done.
These are supportive and stable underfoot. The wide base of the shoe and outrigger helps, and the lacing setup allows for extra customization.
As a whole, the Jordan Zoom Separate is a strong option to consider for anyone on a budget. It'll be a favourite for players that move a lot on the front of their feet since the cushioning caters to that type of playstyle.

Court feel isn’t amazing as its not low to the ground so for guards that are shifty i wouldn't recommend it how ever besides that the shoe is comfortable GREAT TRACTION picks up no dust at all even on very dusty courts. My one and only complaint is that its not low to the ground as I’m a light guard but thats me nit picking. Wide footers and heavy footers/ slower more patient players will LOVE THIS SHOE. Very Light shoe as well. If you have a narrow foot it will take time to get used to.

Traction was very nice, just needs a bit wiping on dust. Cushioning is perfect; foam around zoom unit is very soft and comfortable while zoom gives you decent springy feeling. Support was okay, not the best though due to the soft materials. Lace holes in the front can be ripped if you pull it too strong, be careful about that. Very comforable fabric in the front and decent mesh materials around the back. Fabric closes in on your foot when you wear and it feels awesome. Highly recommended.

The shoe was very comfortable, had a perfect fit, and even looked great. But the traction is horrendous. I slipped several times when I was doing spin moves and even when I took off the dribble jumpers. After literally 5 minutes of playing, the entire sole was covered with dust. Sure the court I played on was not very clean but I never had this problem with Zoom Freaks or Kyries. I was very disappointed with this shoe and returned it the next day.

Not a bad shoe for the price. Traction is good enough, lockdown wasn't amazing for me ran true to size and still had slippage. Support and comfort are subpar wasn't great for me even after adding custom orthotics
The strobe board is super stiff. U have the PF version so its a slightly larger toe box. Overall a decent shoe not amazing though.

This shoe is really good. The traction sticks and barely picks up dust, didn't even have to wipe. The vision is nice the phylon is soft and the zoom units propel u forward.
My only problem was different zoom unit sizes in my pair. I could feel the left one more than the right, the left unit is slightly bigger than the right.

There's some wiggle room in the forefoot. So the shoe can accommodate players with slightly wide feet. They also provide the option to customize the fit by having extra eyelet holes.
