Does anyone ball in force 25s? I tried my old af1 mids again recently and my feet were killin me after, are the 25s any better? I know they are new tech butare they much lighter than AF1s? whats the traction like on that ice sole?
 
They're heavier than AF1s, but cushioning is

. The traction is also pretty good, butI only played with them once for 3 hours indoors. You'll probably find reviews in the sneaker review forum.
 
The traction is great and the cushioning is awesome,they are just a tad bit on the heavy side. They are a good value now, you should be able to get a pair ofAF25 at sub 50 dollar price range at an Nike Outlet,Ross or Nordstrom Rack.
 
I had the same experience with mine as everyone else did. But the leather on the inside of the tongue and on the back by the Achilles tendon died my sockspermanently.

After a few months they ended up being too heavy for me so I don't really play in them anymore.
 
I love mine for ball. The cushioning is amazing and the traction is great. The weight of the shoe wasn't that big a deal for me, but I'm not really aslasher, so a light shoe doesn't matter much to me.
 
Cushioning is great. Traction's good. Weight doesn't really bother me as I usually play in heavier big-man shoes anyways.
 
IMO they are a great on the court. I love the cushioning in them and traction is pretty good. Weight really doesn't bother me.
 
Yeah I was looking at some of the patent leather 25s recently and they are quite cheap. There are some really nice materials in there also but they did seemheavy, I think ill feel the difference coming from flight lite lows!

Still these look to be better ballin shoes than these AJFs crossover shoes that are comin out recently, i might still cop if I can get em cheap enough on ebay.
 
They don't flex that great. They feel clunky, especially with the beefy and supportive materials. Those are two huge cons in terms of the shoe feelingmore "natural".

The traction is good. They are surprisingly lower to the ground than I thought and the Zoom Air feels responsive.

But all-in-all, it's a pretty good value for a shoe I picked up for 40-50 bucks.
