Adidas D ROSE 5

Wanted these to be awesome on court performers, they're good not great. Here's my quick review

Boost is super comfy. I hear folks say the runners are more comfortable; I don't see how? I rate the comfort better than microg but slightly worst than traditional zoom. Really good nonetheless

Super narrow...these pinch the sides of my feet. Felt a little better with wear but not much.

When laced all the way up the anke has a strange flex point it got a little better after a few games but bugged me a lot. When you don't lace them all the way up it goes away. Very strange.

Upper is paper thin. Prob good for weight but feels flimsy and cheap for a bbal shoe. Never ripped or anything while playing. Wish they'd have charged 160 and put better materials into the upper

All in all good not great. Contemplating sending these back to adi...I don't see playing in them much more with so many better options in the rotation right now.

How has the traction been for you? How would you describe your style of play and how are the playing conditions of the surfaces you play on?

6"6, 250...SF/PF post up game, slash from the wing, mid range jumpers.

Traction was fine for me, but I'm not at the top of the key trying to cross guys up. Normal rec league court...dusty but not crazy.
 
Agreed, these shoes are not great. I thought the boost was going to be more comfy but I barely notice it. The sides of the back of my foot are killing me. I'm 5'6" 145lbs pg. I like to drive to the cup.

Got a pair of Homes in on Friday and love the look.  I opted for a full size down with narrow feet.  It almost works... it would be just about perfect space-wise, but I'm a little worried that they are just a hair too short.  I'm one that doesn't need much space in front of my toe for ball, but I do need a little bit more than this.  

Gonna try just the .5 size down when they drop this Thurs. to compare.  Shouldn't have jumped the gun, but I was looking forward to having them a little earlier.

Footlocker's locator update with spots for the Home whites

Pass on the Homes for now. They're clean but I want the Aways more, looks like the Bears will release before those so guess those will be my first pair.

I'm debating grabbing the bears cw over the homes.  Won't allow myself to grab both...

Maybe homes now and bears down the road if I like the 5 enough
 
Came in today but I need to return for .5 size down. Also, maybe I should just wait for Eastbay to throw them on sale. Coupon don't save me much since shipping to AK is $12...

im definitely going to buy the first cw. im kinda jumping off the "im going to get 'em all" bus since i got the first colorway. lol.
 
i dont think i would have bought them if they were called something else.. but just cause Rose plays in these and he is now back, i wanted to buy them. Plus im a huge lakers and kobe shoe fan.

I saw the homes in person yesterday. Pictures don't do them justice. They are soooo clean.
 
I'm looking forward to the black and white ones. I think all black laces would be more appropriate though.
