Jordan Zion 3: Worst Shoe of the Year

In this video we go over the Jordan Zion 3:
Cushion from the drop-in midsole is one of the very few good things about its performance to me. Traction was inconsistent, although it can be nice and grippy at times. I would recommend going true to size with the Zion 3, but as long as you have wider than average feet, it may be best to avoid this shoe because of the narrow fit. Stability and support are also below average based on my experience, and the overall comfort level is inadequate - pinching from the upper + stiffness on feet are some major concerns.
Am I tripping?? Let me know your thoughts on the Jordan Zion 3!

🟢 Drop-In Midsole

Thank you for watching!!
NO WAYYY bro put himself grabbing food in the clips…
It took me a while to get it
I hit the like button as soon as he grabbed the bread first lol
This is why you are my favourite and go to reviewer on shoes because you are unbiased and give pros and cons of each shoe. I hate reviewers who constantly glaze the shoes
🙏🙏 Thank you!!
The Zion 3 seems to be such a hit or miss, nice review! Can’t wait for your review on lining speed x
The bread one was unexpected, but thanks for the video, it makes my day❤
Cheers! Happy holidays ❤️
Bro this is wild I gotta hand it to you: best review you’ve done yet
Thanks bro 🤛 How you doing??
@@TommyLiu4 I am good, just been really busy these last few months. I am doing both biology and chemistry in college right now. I also got sick after my finals so I have just been feeling so busy in my day to day.
@@ttvWideShoes Ah I see, hope you feel better soon. Stay safe & Happy holidays!🎄❤️
hey tommy thanks for slowing down the intro , really makes a difference cheers
Hey, cheers! Happy holidays ❤️
Tommy Lui....... No way!!! I got the all white pair with the cement translucent bottoms and they are great. I have a normal foot and although it's a little narrow for me also it is a beast of a shoe. Love your reviews bro
hows coushening?
Great vid as always Tommy, will you be doing a review on the AR1 as well?
Yes! And thank you!!
Hey man, could you maybe do a review of the jordan max aura 5? Love your videos
Not the TNT food montage 😂! Interesting perspective on these shoes, I hope they continue on with the Naruto colorway collabs!
awesome review as always... man when these silhouettes were first unveiled... we were hoping for a crossover between kobe 11 and pg 5...but what we got was....a zion...--_-
Thank you! Yeah LOL harsh reality with this one… Merry Christmas and Happy New Years!! ❤️
Wanted to try drop-in midsole and left me with choosing zion 3 or spo player 1.Though both looks very good, I chose the latter because of the price. Seeing this review makes me think i made the better choice 😂
Thanks I was going to get these shoes however after this I don't know i think i'll go for the 808 3 ultra
🤛🙏
Interesting, these fit my foot perfectly it’s weird to hear so many reviewers having problems
Once these go on sale I might grab them so I can steal the drop in and try it out in my Kobe 9 elites that I have bottomed out the midsole in.
Same experience with me almost exact. Traction was bad on the mud sweat tears color too.
Can you also review the sonic 11 v2
The baguette in the intro is the best for the comfort
🥖
Yoo tommy, make an all city 12 review
Does the drop in fits in Kobes?
planning to cop this pair is this good for outdoor dusty court? im hesitant because of translucent sole
No
can you review aaron gordon g3 highcut
"Mud, sweat, tears, and FOOD" is an insane thing to say
😆😆
What’s a better choice for bigs like power forward or Center? Zion 3 or 808 3?
😂
Had me cracking up in the 10 secs of this video! 😂😅😂😅😂
That buffet 🔥🔥
Your cat’s cameos during the unboxing are funny 😂
He said hi ❤️
hi just wondering is the lining speed 9 better than 808 3 ultra on a dusty court?
Technically yes but it really depends on which colorway for the 808 3 Ultra - purple w/ translucent outsole is best off on clean courts.
And hi 😃
There was a lot of hype surrounding this shoe and I’m not gonna name any names, but some shoe reviewers were saying this shoe was like a modern day Kobe so I like that you gave us a different perspective to consider.
🙏🍻 It’s all relative I think - people all have different foot shapes, preferences and playing styles. Explanation is the most important part 😁 But yeah these were hella uncomfortable to me lol
obviously have never even tried on a kobe 6, 8 or 11 @adamkanizsai2990
@adamkanizsai2990you tripping if you think kobe 11’s are not worth hype…. Especially the 11 elite
ngl these are amazing. Yes they are narrow, but it gets better as you break them in.
Honestly the only thing I like about them is the midsole. I already used and tested them using the shells of the 808 3, and spo player 1. Add those drop in to any of them, top tier combination. 😊😊
Nice good call 👍
Full length zoom version of this dropped, with different materials. Any plan on reviewing those?
Still deciding
@@TommyLiu4 thanks for the good content always
@@juuhai 🙏🙏
hey tommy i’ve been trying to decide between the way of wade 808 3 ultra or the son of flash. Which would you recommend from your videos i’ve been falling in love with the son of flashes but in your opinion what do you think?
btw i’m somewhat of a wide footer with a low arch so if you could base your recommendation of that it would be really helpful
Hi, Son of Flash but pls remember to go up a half size from your true size.
@@TommyLiu4 okay! thank you so much
@@TommyLiu4 I’m just curious but doesn’t the 808 3 have better tech and performance?
@@spasff9458 808 3 Ultra has some issues with the upper materials causing some pinching that doesn’t really go away from my experience, so I’d say the regular version is better. Especially since you have wide feet the 808 3 regular is an amazing option.
mine were a hit tbh in the traction and fit but i had the mud sweat and tears colour
Is the air max impact 4 better than the Jordan one take 4?
Umm yeah but very close, both great budget shoes 😃
I had to go up 2 sizes just to have the width not hurt my pinky toe. Damn shame cuz the cushion actually felt good
😳😳 Yeah I would have just given up on it lol
Would a Zion 3 without a translucent outsole pick up less dust and grip the floor better?
The thing is, I think most colorways so far have a translucent trim / bottom half, while the herringbone part is solid rubber - so it might even come down to which type of translucent outsole. Like whether it’s a milky one or clear translucent, but I’m not too sure at least this one didn’t do very well…
@@TommyLiu4 I hope there are some colorways without translucent outsoles. Thanks Bro!
@@Santi_makes_videos 🤛 Cheers man
At 4:11 what is that jordan model called? they look pretty nice
Zion 2
@@TommyLiu4 ty
I'm usually a 10, fitted too snug, went half size up 10.5, fits perfect. One of the better looking Jordan designs along with JT1.
I've been fortunate to play in extremely clean courts (private runs) I felt the traction had to 'warm up' a bit. after 2 games, I started noticing more better traction. A decent performer, I was able to do what I need to do in my 4 games with it (Chauncey Billups style of play)
There are definitely better shoes in that price range out there for sure. I would suggest waiting on sale to get the shoes, I wouldn't pay full price (again) for it.
👌👌 Chauncey Billups! I try to model my game after Arron Afflalo so maybe we should team up some day lol
@@TommyLiu4 , Many people sleep on Arron Afflalo, underrated and fundamentally solid player. I try to visit Canada every year (or other year), maybe i'll swing by your town one day man!
@@tsquared4455 Yeah for sure man!! Afflalo had a post up game too a lot didn’t know… 🤛
damn, what do you do with these shoes afterwards? just stash or sell em somewhere?
Well this one I’m gonna have to sell eventually lmao - will start getting rid of more soon to clear some space for the newborn.
I got the sanctuary’s and returned them. They were insanely tight on the midfoot/forefoot and I don’t have a wide foot
Right honestly I don’t even know what type of feet we need to have to actually enjoy this shoe lol
Some guy in China used a dremmel to take a few mm off the sides of the insole. Seems like the thick walls of the insole are the problem
That makes sense actually, probably would have helped… 😅
Tommy thought he could throw in a clip of Zion at 0:15 and think we wouldnt notice
😂😂
Hey tommy i dont know l which one to get New balance fresh from bb or luka 2
Hey umm very close indeed. Luka 2
@@TommyLiu4 ok thank you but what would you say has the better traction overall
@@cosmo483 Both elite traction
@@TommyLiu4 ok sorry but I have one more question? What is better new balance fresh foam bb or new balance two wxy v4
@@cosmo483 TWO WXY V4
I bought this shoes online 2 weeks ago.. I’m very disappointed because although the length is true to size, however it is too tight too narrow it on the sides even using the thinnest type of socks. My feet hurt everytime after wearing. I was hoping it would loosen after several use, but still not. This is my first time having air jordan shoes, i was looking forward to the best comfort on my feet, but it turned out the opposite.👎👎
_Oh no, not the buffet!_
No idea why they made these so damn narrow. The Zion 2s were great for wide footers.
It's even more frustrating that they also made the MUD version with the strap and full length zoom air. All for nothing if they're going to be that insanely narrow.
We eat fondue at Christmas.
😂😂😂 the buffet scence
Damn, Tommy ain't scared to call out Nike.
They prob don’t care anyways 😂
Which is the best dusty court budget shoes? @TommyLiu4
Dame Certified
I actually really liked these shoes, probably my favourite/one of my favourite shoes out of most of them I have tried
👍👍
Hi, What are the top 5 shoes of 2023?
Hi. Vid soon 😃
Zion needs to have his own identity when it comes to his sigs. Really liked the look of the 3s but when I saw it in person and seeing the shape really bummed me out. But has great potential if they'll use it as a blueprint for the 4s.
Agreed! Hopefully this can be the foundation for a much improved Zion 4 .
Was really excited when I saw the leaks. Really thought that it was wide foot friedly, kinda disappointing.
i said that on another performance video from another channel that when he had nothing to do with the shoe and just says yes or no to the final product then is it really his shoe. not just because he rarely plays but i just don't take Zion too serious when it comes to a basketball player who's going to have that next great sneaker line. you can already tell he wants to go away from New Orleans and who knows what else. it's like they close their eyes and pick a random leftover sneaker in the office and tell Zion this is your next sneaker. he agrees cause it's not like he needs it on the 3 games a year he plays in
Yeah exactly, simply nodding to a design team’s proposal as your final product - that at least takes a big part of the purpose away for it being a signature shoe…
bro included a t&t shopping trip in the intro 💀
Haha good eyes bro
I’m sorry these didn’t work out for you. I went TTS and after some break in, mine have been great.
Nice!
Finally someone honest about these drop in midsole shoes.
Yup im so tired of hearing "Next kobes" @adamkanizsai2990got the player 1 plus and outside of good tratcion they are litteral ass. And for 180 i cant justify the insoles being ass.
Bro pulled out the baguette
I love your reviews but I have to disagree with you on this one. I got the all white cement color way and they are awesome. The traction and fit are great. I was really surprised how low to the ground and light they are. It reminds me of the kobe 9. You can definitely feel the forefoot air cushion. I honestly got these bc they look good but now love em bc they perform great too. I must have narrow feet bc it fits me fine. I normally wear a 9 but went up half size. I guess these are definitely not for wide footers.
Thanks for your input!! 🙏🙏
The baguette!!! 😆😆😆
🥖
Zions model is custom, his has react pods in the drop in & has a torsion plate
Yeah! Oh I’m sure you’re right his is different.
I feel like this shoe is actually made for narrow foot players though. I might have to get these since I really have narrow feet lol
Yeah pretty much 😃 Narrow feet you might really enjoy these.
i wish they followed the design of Zion 2’s.
when you reviewing the wow ac 12
Soon!
wide & flat footers unite in looking for a zoomy non pinching shoe!
oh, favorite Christmas food anything that won't give me a heart attack
True safety first lol
there is no way bro had videos of him eating food lmaoooo
Zion 3 is for narrow footer, it’s unfortunate that it’s not wide foot friendly
Looking forward to Nikola Jokić signature shoe review! I don't care about signature shoes, but I want to support Nikola !
👌🃏
now we see how zion always gets injured
i tried these ones and didnt buy either. They don't have the best ankle support either.
no clue how you managed to even wear it, went 1.5 size up to a 11 and still couldnt wear it
Well s**t does hurt lol
I see that buffet LOL
🫵
HAHAHA what was that random buffet clip? 😂
😉
@@TommyLiu4I just got the SE versions of these at 50%off labor day sale 😊😊😊
I bought the zion 3. I returned the model because I didn't like it. the model is magnificent, on the other hand I had never seen shoes so rigid. horrible! too bad because the aesthetic is successful, but no comfort (it even hurts the feet) at the same time, Zion is so heavy and powerful that he needs reinforced concrete shoes!
T&T let’s go
🫡🫡
Tommy looks like 6'4 tall
Cool cat!
❤️
Please tell me u wore these when u were at the buffet 😂
I usually wear slides to the buffet these days gotta stay cozy & then go to work ya know
Just looking at the shoe makes me feel hungry and wanna attack a buffet
Man this comment motivates me to run it back soon 🥗🥘🫕
People really hating on Zion and this shoe
Sammy would definitely disagree
Sammy like it snug
Sammy da GOAT - different foot shapes and preferences likely 😁
When the shoe so bad you have to put in clips of you at the salad bar
So sad Zion went with Jordan brand. Would’ve love to see Zion signature shoe with Adidas. Imao
The Zion 3 for narrow feet and a wide body
Nah not the buffe😭😭
😋
the look changed alot imo~
for sure
Zion 3 are similar to kobe 11 but lighter
my favorite Christmas food is Peking Duck
😳 hometown nostalgia for me
Disrespect is crazy
Big letdown of a shoe but still great informative video
Appreciate that 🙏 Hopefully they can build on it for the next model though.
YOWWWW😳 LOL😂
This shoe literslly looks like a Li Ning shoe and no one is saying anything about it bc its Nike. Smh.
My opinion: beautiful shoe, but booty 🍑 isn't everything. 99 problems, and it wasn't even worth keeping it for a fake formula 23 foam insole. The foam needs to be in the sole to work i realized after using it for 24 hours. The bottom plastic gum sole made me so angry i sent it back. Guarantee you the sole costed like $1 to make.
Nah Bro u just hating 😅 I intent to cop this just for the drop in midsole alone.
Anyway...
Okay man 👌👍
Funniest content yet 💀
First
And last to get bitches
Zion 3 is the most uncomfortable shoe of the year
so much potential...Zion 2 was much better
Indeed
LOOOL
