Jordan One Take 5

At a listed 14 oz, the One Take 5 is lighter than 23 of the other 66 performance shoes in our database and heavier than 38 (5 other models list the same weight). The average across all 67 performance shoes is 13.8 oz, so it runs 0.2 oz heavier than average. For reference, the lightest is the Anta KT 9 (12.4 oz) and the heaviest is the Nike GT Hustle 3 (15.8 oz).

Its 8 mm heel-to-toe drop is the most common figure in this group — 54 of 67 performance shoes list 8 mm. Drops across the group only run from 7 to 10 mm, so drop is a smaller differentiator than weight or cut height.

It is one of 40 mid-cut models among the 67 performance shoes we track, and it sits in the budget price band (set from manufacturer MSRP), which 13 other models share.

It is one of only 13 performance shoes we rate as outdoor-capable; the other 54 are rated for indoor courts.

Cushioning is listed as Phylon + Zoom Air, which puts it in our Zoom Air (28 shoes in the database) cushioning hub; 3 other shoes use exactly the same listed setup.

Going by its spec profile, we classify the One Take 5 for shooting guards and small forwards with an all-around game. You can compare it against every shoe we file for that role in Best Basketball Shoes for Shooting Guards and Best Basketball Shoes for Small Forwards.

The mid cut is the middle ground between ankle coverage and freedom of movement — the most common choice in the database.

It carries an outdoor rating, so it is a reasonable pick if you split time between gym floors and outdoor courts. Width is listed as standard; if you need more toe-box room, see the wide-feet hub.
