Overview
Cold city streets and casual winter outfits are where this Nike Air Jordan retro boot fits. It pairs a high-top leather and textile upper with Air Zoom cushioning and an aggressive sticky rubber outsole for grip.
The boot styling and lugged sole give a retro basketball look with more grip than a court sneaker. Without listed water resistance or insulation, it is a style boot, not a winter work boot.
Who it's for
Casual wear in fall and winter where grip and a high collar help. People working outside in wet snow need a sealed, insulated boot.
Pros and cons
- Sticky rubber grips varied surfaces
- Light Air Zoom cushioning
- Quick lacing with metal eyelets
- High top covers the ankle
- Water resistance not listed
- Description lists a different colorway
Performance notes
Air Zoom units are thin pressurized cushions that spring back fast, giving light cushioning without bulk. The sticky compound and deep traction pattern bite into uneven ground, which suits slick streets better than a flat court sole.
