Ranking the best basketball shoes of 2018

#3 Air Jordan XXXII

Unlike other Jordan releases in the past 3-4 years, the Jordan XXXII did not disappoint in terms of grip and traction in on-court action for me, or for the vast majority of reviewers online. The Jordan XXXII mainly got in the imagination of basketball fans because of the rather throwback look to the shoe and the bright and appropriate colorways which it's available in.

The likes of Jimmy Butler, Carmelo Anthony and Chris Paul wore it through the latter half of the 2017-18 season and the start of this 2018-19 season.
