Russell Westbrook's secret weapon is speed. He sped up the game, created momentum, and showed the highlights of the race. Pay attention to Jordan "Why not?" The Zer 0.4 is the first pair of shoes to have two layers of Zoom on the front foot. A buffer system with excellent repulsion converts speed into power and helps to concentrate on the attack. The PF version uses a particularly durable outsole. Perfect for playing on the outdoor court.

The shoe has a mesh pattern on the top. It doesn't appear to be a true mesh (with perforations that go all the way through) but the fabric still seems breathable enough. Even with extended wear, I didn't feel like my feet were getting overheated or overly sweaty.The top of my foot feels cushioned all around, without any gaps. My toes are not swimming in a cavernous toebox like with some other shoes, but also don't feel crushed. It's a soft supportive pressure.The midsole is tough and spongy. I appreciate that it doesn't shift around, or feel mushy (like with gel or air cushioned ones), when I walk around.The bottoms feature the Jumpman on the heels and a "spilled-rice" pattern for traction.

There's a hard upside-down "V" shaped strip on the heel counter that supports the back of the heel and the sides of your Achilles. When you slip these shoes on, your heels pop into them pleasantly as they pass this strip.The tongue is wide and sticks out a little farther than on most shoes I've worn in the past. This gives you plenty of area to grab and pull them. Although, these features also mean the tongues don't fall into the shoe very much, if at all.A part of the design I didn't like was the strip of fabric over the laces by the front of the shoe. I know it was a design choice by the makers, but I don't like the way it is angled toward your big toe. Whenever I noticed this out of the corner of my eye, for a split second I would think the tongue of the shoe was crooked. Maybe others will like this look, but it wasn't for me.Overall, these shoes are stylish (I got the black and gold version) and fit snugly. I recommend them if the design suits you.

I was excited to get my pair Nike Jordan Why Not Zero.4 shoes and overall, they did not disappoint. These are well-built shoes with a good gripping sole, reinforced connection points, and a high degree of breathability. I’m not necessarily a full time basketball player, but these shoes worked well for other things that I do. These make great gym shoes for various activities because of their well designed base which has good grip from all angles and a design that firmly plants your feet setting you up to jump to your full potential. The extra long tongue and superior grip loops at the back of the shoe make putting the shoe on very easy and the design with the laces keeps these tightly on your feet without issue at the most active times. I enjoyed the fun pattern ... MoreI was excited to get my pair Nike Jordan Why Not Zero.4 shoes and overall, they did not disappoint.

I enjoyed the fun pattern which is great at the gym or out in public. I thought it made for a fun pairing with blue jeans. My only issue with these shoes is that I found them to be a bit narrow for the size they are, which made them a little harder for me to wear for extended periods of time due to my very wide feet. For people that don’t have caveman feet, I don’t see this as an issue, and if you’re like me, just buy one size up from your normal size and you should be fine. Overall a really great shoe!

Aside from the colorful pattern (he’s prefers more neutral colors for athletic shoes), my husband really likes these Jordan Why Not Zer0.4 shoes. When I first got them out of the box I was worried the tongue of the shoe was going to be too stiff and was going to cause a blister for my husband but they were comfortable right out of the box for him. There was no break-in period with these shoes and we all know how awful breaking in shoes can be! Although my husband cannot play basketball on an indoor court to test these for that purpose (thanks COVID), he found them incredibly comfortable for going on walks together as a family and playing with our kids at the park. The shoe’s rubber sole gave him great traction and cushion. The quality is exactly what I would expect ... MoreAside from the colorful pattern (he’s prefers more neutral colors for athletic shoes), my husband really likes these Jordan Why Not Zer0.4 shoes.

The Nike Jordan Why Not Zero.4 shoes are great shoes, but I feel with shoes being so integrated into overall fashion that you have to start this review there. As the attached pictures show - these shoes stand out and make a statement. If that statement jibes with your personal fashion statement is a personal call. I'm not going to tell anyone what to like or not like other than to make sure and check them out before we get into the details. But they are pretty colorful and wild so if that's your thing, you'll like these!With that said, these are some serious basketball shoes. They fit snug and feel strong, allowing you to pivot and move with confidence on the court. They don't feel like a running shoe (obviously) so don't expect a 'floating on air' feeling when ... MoreThe Nike Jordan Why Not Zero.4 shoes are great shoes, but I feel with shoes being so integrated into overall fashion that you have to start this review there.

But they are pretty colorful and wild so if that's your thing, you'll like these!With that said, these are some serious basketball shoes. They fit snug and feel strong, allowing you to pivot and move with confidence on the court. They don't feel like a running shoe (obviously) so don't expect a 'floating on air' feeling when wearing these and they sit higher too. But when sprinting, pivoting, and in general moving in all different directions you really appreciate the snug fit and the responsiveness they provide. They give the wearer a lot of confidence to move around the court.I think they are also comfortable enough to wear around as everyday shoes. Again, don't expect them to feel like a typical running shoe, which are common everyday shoes, but these will work well everyday because the snug fit means you don't have to lace them tight (or at all) and can walk around without slipping out of them. My feet run very narrow and I had no issues, which is a good thing.All in all I think these are great shoes for what they were designed for - which to me is an active sport on a court where you make lots of quick twitch movements. They provide confidence, ooze style, and keep you going game after game. Can't ask for much more than that!
First off, these shoes look amazing! The details make this shoe so appealing to the eye. The metallic gold loop on the back is so nice and the shoes feel very well made. However, these are just not for everyday comfort. Maybe my feet are too wide but my feet are snug in these shoes, but I feel like a size up would be to big. I could run errands in these, but if I had to workout with them I doubt they would last for me. The design of the shoe makes me want to wear them all the time though! They pair well with anything I wear and the shoes themselves are amazing quality. The lacing on the shoes is different than other nikes I have seen and the gold detailing is subtle so the shoe still feels masculine. If the shoe had some memory foam and came with wider widths, I ... MoreFirst off, these shoes look amazing! The details make this shoe so appealing to the eye.

I love Jordan Brand and these shoes were no different. As a Chicago native and former high school basketball player and college football player I grew up with Jordans and always had several pairs. Even now in my adult sports I continue to wear Jordan Brand for basketball, baseball and golf shoes. Much of the new basketball shoes styles aren’t really ones I find myself drawn to, but these are different. I like that they weren’t too loud, and I liked the look of the all black with the white & gold trim. At first glance I was a bit nervous I might not like the feel of the souls of the shoes, but as soon as I put them on and began working out that was put to rest. I found them to be extremely comfortable and a show that I could wear all day. I also appreciate that they ... MoreI love Jordan Brand and these shoes were no different.

I found them to be extremely comfortable and a show that I could wear all day. I also appreciate that they are simple and could be paired with everyday clothing in addition to athletic wear. Nike / Jordan Brand tends to run small in my experience and I found that to be the case here as well. Being a former college athlete and having a size 16 shoe I find it extremely frustrating to find quality shoes in my size. So I really appreciate the Jordan Brand creating a shoe that is versatile, comfortable and in my size. I’ve found myself wearing these as my go to daily shoe for wearing around and for working out. I highly recommend these to all of my friends, athlete or not.
I love everything about this shoe. When I opened the box and saw all the colors, I was excited and my wife loved how they looked. They have a loop on the back and then another piece of black around back that keeps everything firm. And there's just enough neon yellow/green in the design to keep it fun but not overwhelming.The fit is great, as well. I have narrower than average feet and these made my feet feel very supported. They're not high tops but they're high enough to support your ankles, too. This is a great shoe for playing basketball and being active.I don't have anything negative to say about these. They look great and are comfortable - my favorite Nikes I've ever owned.
The Jordan Why Not Zero.4 basketball shoe is another iconic installation of the classic Jordan brand silhouette. The black mesh with the gold accents add a timeless touch that matches any outfit on or off the court. At first fit, the shoe is incredibly sturdy and you can see why Jordan added the need for additional support. There aren’t many in the game who generate so much pressure on their feet like Russell Westbrook. One of my favorite features about the shoe is the texturized sole which adds an additional layer of grip for that extra gear when driving to the bucket. One thing to note when ordering a pair for yourself is to size up half a size. The shoe fits fairly snug for my normal size 9 shoe. Overall, if you’re looking for a high performing, stylish, and ... MoreThe Jordan Why Not Zero.4 basketball shoe is another iconic installation of the classic Jordan brand silhouette.

These sneakers are insanely comfortable. I would even say they feel like standing on pillows. The are tightly formed (in a good way) around my feet so they feel structured, supportive, and secure. I can do lateral and forward movements without concern of an ankle roll. They fit true to size (I am a 10 and the 10 is perfect). I have flat feet and the arch feels comfortable. I could absolutely wear these all day if I wanted to. They are great for high intensity like playing basketball, a run, or just walking around. My reason for rating them a 4 is the graffiti pattern is not my favorite. For me, they miss the mark for the hip street look they were going for. They are also a little flashier than my typical style. However, I don't dislike the design style enough to not ... MoreThese sneakers are insanely comfortable.

Why not for the win? An astounding yes! First let me say these are not generally the shape, type, or flair of kicks I would normally roll with but after taking a giant leap for humankind I’m happy I did. As loud as the Photon Dust / Black-Volt’s Zero.4’s are I honestly feel like it is just right, and have grown quite fond of the graffiti look. The heavy duty canvas type material that gives this shoe it’s amazing ankle support and overall durability is great as well as the thermoset satin areas. Special touches such as the double air bladder forefoot really shine and give a guy that pep in the step that is sorely needed these days. As a casual wearer my favorite aspect of the shoe is the large stiff tongue and smooth rigid heel, it allows for easy slip on for those ... MoreWhy not for the win? An astounding yes!

The exterior heel even includes a protruding section that allows for easy removal. I generally wear an 11.5 medium width and this Why Not ran true to size. Honestly, no improvements needed, if you are in the market for a mid to high top baller, these aren’t to be overlooked, you might even just love the graffiti as much as I do.
