What is The Difference Between Jordan 31 ‘Chinese New Year’ and ‘Chicago Bulls’ ?

The Air Jordan XXX1 (31) is Michael Jordan’s thirty-first signature shoe. It was first unveiled on July 20th, 2016 at a live event in Las Vegas. And there are a lot of fans for this type shoes , of course , I am the one of them, I got the Air Jordan 1,Air Jordan 11,Air Jordan 11low. Air Jordan 12, and Air Jordan 13,and Air Jordan 31. I love the Air Jordan 1 very much, but as we know this tye shoes ‘ performance is not good. However ,the Air Jordan 31 has been my favorite till now. Then there are more different between the Air Jordan 31 ‘Chinese New Year’ And Air Jordan XXX1 Low ‘Chicago Bulls’?

Though “Chicago Bulls” and “Chinese New Year”used the same shoes box.

The “Chicago Bulls”  featuring an homage to Mike’s past with familiar looks based on his time in North Carolina and Chicago. While the trio of footwear releases boasts two different Air Jordan 12 options, the Air Jordan 31 Chinese New Year stands out thanks to the implementation of actual bamboo on the heel trim.

Here are more pictures as below：

There are a bit difference, though they look similar. “Chicago Bulls” alternates between premium leather on the heel and a woven textile for a flexible on-court feel that transitions over quite nicely to the lifestyle realm.

However the  “Chinese New Year” features a clean white to black Flyweave gradient with Pure Platinum Jumpman branding while an icy outsole showcases a bamboo pattern underneath. Team Red Jumpman branding stands out in contrast while the embossed Wings logo is almost camouflaged on the synthetic leather.

For the heel part , “Chinese New Year” will be more stiff and higher .

Pretty much the same as the mid. All of the support comes from the fit and heel counter so if you want a little more support go with the mid.

The biggest difference between the two pairs of shoes is that the high-cut version uses a double-layer upper, and there are six sponge protrusions on the ankle to fix the ankle. The low-cut version is an normal  upper with no sponge protrusions.

The Air Jordan 31low version of the shoe has a high-enhanced version of the hook logo, and the shoe is only a jumpmen person.

The soles of the two pairs of shoes look exactly the same, except for the high top  version with a translucent bottom. But the latter test proves that the two are still very different.

 

Dust does get lodged in the crevasses within the outsole but wipe it away and you’ll be good to go.

The Air Jordan 31 low used the Zoom + Flight Speed .FlightSpeed spreads weight out evenly,resulting in a whole-sole sweet spot thatoptimizes energy return on every move. So the Air Jordan 31 low  can support more energy and more responsive .With every step, high-strung fibers flex,fire back and are instantly distributedacross the entire foot by the FlightSpeed,so you can do what you want.However Air Jordan 31 Low “Chicago Bulls”  just used the Zoom.

 

 

Regarding the grip performance of aj31, there is a lot of controversy. Is it as uncomfortable as many people say, whether it is the pot of this sole, as a practical party that has worn a pair of 31, I will reveal the answer for you later.

 





Then here is the test .


Since the full length zoom is close to the ground, the part of the sole that contains the air cushion is obviously convex which a few millimeters higher than the surrounding sole, causing the shoe to be unstable on the flat ground.


 




This is a solid wood laminate flooring that is very close to the stadium ground.




Through this rocking experiment, we can see that the high top  version is shaking back and forth. The low-cut version seems to have improved, and the stability is obviously much better. Of course, due to the weight,it is will be different after putting on the shoes, but the air cushion is convexly designed was not good for balance.




Then we test the grip of the shoes .




Turning the shoes upside down, the stability has improved, the shoe can fall but seems  the friction also have an influence on  falling. So  the sole material and the grip of the texture are completely nice .


 




For the Air Jordan 31 “Chinese New Year” also falling uunder the angle 60, it is look the grip is great.


 






How we also tested other shoes , the PG 1 and hd2016low.


For the PG1,  it is falling down under the  angle 70




Then the HD 2016 ,  it is falling down under the  angle  45.




So the grip also nice .if you are on this Air Jordan , it is will be great. I mean the grip , the material of rubber and the zoom help  a lot .


 




 




The solid outsole works great and needs just  a little bit of time to break in to really grab.




It is stable and firm yet provides just enough spring that you can feel without any lag. Real Zoom feel although they could have implemented it like the Zoom BB for even better feel.




This kind of wrapping  is different from hd16 or PG1. These two shoes are very tight, pressed on the instep and uncomfortable, but the Air Jordan 1 low wrapping is based on the comfort, the zoom setting,the upper is soft,   I have been never slipping.






 


The starting performance of the shoes is not as long as the drag of the full length air cushion, and the force feedback and the responsive is nice.


Thanks to the use of Flight Speed technology.Cushioning allows fliers to be lethal in thefirst and fresh in the fourth.In fact, Flight Speed adds a layer of gasket on top of the full palm air cushion. It plays a role in increasing the area of the air cushion






 


Overall,seems the  difference between Air Jordan 31 ‘Chinese New Year’ and Air Jordan 31 Low ‘Chicago Bulls’ is small, but we can see the above  ,  so which shoes do you like ?

Air Jordan 31 ‘why not ‘ performance review
		

				
				

		
  As a die-hard fan of of  Russell Westbrook, my dream is get pair of  PE . finally the dream is coming true . Here I will share the feeling  with you . I am tall 175cm .weight 70kg , as a break out guard ,I really like this pair shoes .

Now we get it .

   As the same as Aj 30’s  box . There are number 31 .

Air Jordan 31 why not

   Every one know the Aj 31 followed the design of 30 . Knit and bit of blue orange  embellishment together incease overall face score .For me , it is not very high point of face score ?


Air Jordan 31 why not


  Then we will test in the plastic ground .

 Wraping : 10 score .

  Compare with  Kobe 6, James 12 , crazy explosive，sc 1，sc3，hd 2014，kt 2 ,AJ 30 .

AJ 31 is more excellent .I usually wear size 8.5, but I bought size 9 of AJ 31 , because  the forefoot have a bit narrow .The setting of the inner boot and the bulge to lock the ankle. It is as an ankle protector.in my opinion,  The front foot is also very  wrap compactly.

Starting : 9 points

  As the shoes of Westbrook ,  forefoot zoom and flightspeed technology to provide the conditions for a good start, less the longer time when playing .There is even a feeling of prestige when starting up.

 Anti-skiding :9 scores

   Crystal bottom for anti-skid braking without pressure in nature be nothing difficult.


Cushion: 8 scores

   As a pair of guard shoes ,For me , I am thinking of  not need too much of cushion but only zoom in the forefoot, it is enough for fall down .


Stability: 9 scores .

  uppers for woven uppers, which increase anti-skiding ,stability. People have more requirements in starting ,anti-skid requirements  and cushion . Yes , Pe was meet all of these needs .

  Here attached some pair of  Pe ,which not release .


Air Jordan 31 why not

Russell Westbrook win Game 3 with Jordan 31 White Vs Harden
		

				
				

		


2016-17 NBA season playoffs the rockets against the thunder third, section third, Westbrook sent back pass, Rocket 67-71 thunder.


The Thunder saw what went wrong two nights earlier in Houston, as Westbrook wilted down the stretch after playing the entire quarter, and Donovan wanted his star fresh and ready to finish Game 3. Whether he actually was is up for debate, as Westbrook missed three critical free throws in the closing minutes. But the Thunder held on regardless against the visiting Rockets, 115-113, as James Harden 3 at the buzzer  with his  ‘Home’ adidas Harden Vol. 1  caught front iron,which  in Scarlet, White and Energy. As you can see, they are constructed with a knitted upper while a soft leather lands on the toe. Red is predominately used across the tongue, panels, around the heel while White hits the toe and outsole. The last detail is Boost technology through the midsole.


Westbrook is going to have the ball, and it’s up to him to determine how his team plays. He can’t make shots for them — something they did well in Game 3 — but he can control everything else. Westbrook can suffocate his own team, and he’s so great that sometimes it doesn’t matter.


Westbrook’s Game 3 stat line didn’t pop off the page like Game 2’s 51-point triple-double, but it was undoubtedly a better performance. He finished with a second straight triple-double — 32-13-11 — countering Harden’s brilliance, 44 points on 21 shots. The difference for the Thunder was in the “supporting cast,” a term Westbrook isn’t fond of.




 


In Game 2, after the Rockets erased a 12-point OKC lead with Westbrook sitting at the end of the third, Donovan went to Westbrook for the entire fourth. In the end, the Thunder survived — that being the operative word here — both Westbrook’s four-minute second half rest as a minus-1, and then the final flourish from Harden and the Rockets. Russ also broke out one of our favorite Jordan 31 , on the heel mixed with a blue  to  “Olympic” colorway of the 31, featuring an appropriate red, white, and blue color scheme across the all-new Air Jordan 1 inspired minimalist design of the latest chapter in the history of Flight. It was a game for the ages.


The whole game, Westbrook showed a better team spirit  than the previous , of course, if every game just like the fourth quarter that he did ,  then the thunder will be swept everytime .In this game, Westbrook is fully demonstrated his basketball talent  and the character of MVP, which with the team. Tai Gibson scored 20 points, respectively, Ola Po and Robertson got total of 12 , the substitute also help got score of 10 points in the game, the team scored a total of points. With the help of teammates , Westbrook is not as the lone hero, but also give the team more confidence.




We will stay tuned next gam
