Jordan Heir Series 2 «Birds of Paradise»

At first glance, I loved this shoe. The details with the logos and the contrast between colors is right up my alley. Once I grabbed the shoes out of the box they felt a smidge too stiff in my hands but to my utter surprise, the shoes are actually really comfortable. My ankles felt secure, there’s a right amount of bounce in the insoles which is crucial for me to play comfortably. While probably insignificant I love the soles of this shoe. They’re so fun and obviously the design team took their time with this art piece. Important to note that the shoes have great traction. Aside from being a good looking shoe, it has thoughtful design such as the little carrying loops on the back of the shoe which double as hairy tied in a pinch. I would love for the shoe to expand a bit, my feet swell a little when I’m hot but it’s not a deal breaker. All in all I love them!

These Jordans were so fun! The colors are bright and the design is modern and edgy. But the function was what really set it apart! I loved how much grip was included in the design - it really made playing basketball better! The court shoe sole was thick and gave great contact with both blacktop and indoor court. The inside of the shoe was a grippy material as well, to keep your foot in place when cutting and jumping, and it works well! My only concern is that they run a little small and narrow, so sizing up would be advised!

These are really cool shoes. I love the colors. They are a bit on the heavy side. Heavier and bulkier than I am used to. The fit feels true to size. The fabric is nice. But I like most is the style and look of the shoe. They just look so cool. If I had to change anything, I would make them not so heavy.
