OFFICIAL THREAD: Nike Zoom Crusader

As of right now I'm not a fan of the traction

How many runs have you given them? I really, really want to try these but traction is one of my biggest peeves when it comes to performance. I'm hoping it's just that rubber that needs to be broken in and then works perfect.

That's pretty much what Nightwing says, they need to be broken in since he says that it seems like the rubber has some kind of film on it.  I'd like to pick these up but I have to wait for the right colorway.
 
Anyone know where I can find the Black/Grey besides DSG?

The only shoe I've ever really noticed that with for the traction was Kobe 6.

That was less of an issue of a sort of "film," and more of an issue with grinding down the initial layer of rubber, in my eyes. The KD IV seemed to have the "film" issue that these have.
 
Isn't that exactly what we said though...?

I guess I could have been clearer... The term film indicates a substance different than the sole's rubber, like a coating or finish, and that's what I felt existed on the KD VI and what I suspect exists on the Crusader. The issues with the Kobe VI were with the rubber itself and its shape (again, purely suspicion).
 
Ok, I got you now.

I played in my KD6 last week and that film or whatever was giving me ice skating type problems on court. Granted the court wasn't fully swept I've never had traction issues like that. I haven't touched them since then and might give em a go soon.
 
Crap...

Meant the KD IV. I can't say I've ever spent time in the VIs so I can't speak to them.

But that's a shame if it applies to them too. I don't know what about certain rubbers "requires" the film, but it'd be interesting to know.

This shoe is a steal and coming in some great colorways.

The half size down that I ordered will be in tomorrow.  Hope those are a perfect fit so I can get them on court
