THE OFFICIAL ADIDAS THREAD OF JAMES HARDEN - VOLUME 8 IN LOS ANGELES (CLIPPERS)

[gluchini]

Trained all week with my coach in my disruptors being a red shirt, took a little while to break in and once broken in felt amazing, although breathability is very bad took around 5 hours for the sweat to dry as it absorbs and holds in moisture. Played in my AA bhm today and was comfy right out the box and the knit was more breathable. The elastic toe does feel real good like a second layer of your toes don't notice it's there, leather is soft and flexible as well I also forgot it was there so imo toe material is irrelevant BUT shoe material if your a serious Hooper I recommend the knit material over the plastic mesh.

The BHM is Primeknit?

Yes it is

 

[thapointguy]

I don't think so since they are $140 instead of $160 (IBAS/Below Zero)

it's primeknit bro, the only reason those are 160 is the iridesant stripes and shank.

 

[thapointguy]

I don't know man. Looks like a different knit but not Primeknit. Should we contact adidas to see who's right? lol

 

[gluchini]

Does it really matter? Its a knit flat out the disruptors I got are plastic mesh I haven't held the black ops or blizzard in hand to compare knits and don't plan too best way I can compare it is to my gr kobe 11 without the tpu strands making it soft. I don't care much about specifics with adidas as I won't be buying another pair of adidas until Harden 2 if their as clean or better

reason I was asking because I was thinking about picking up a pair on EBay, if they are Primeknit I'm definitely pulling the trigger. If not might just get the Xeno

from what I know it's "primeknit" if its not it's the softest knit I've had in a basketball shoe I honestly don't know how to explain it since I'm not an adidas shoe collector lol it was soft flexible and yet supportive right out the box and disruptors took 4 good on court wears to break in and feel soft if you can I DEFINATELY would buy the bhm and blizzard for good price bhm will be my go to competitive shoe however I will say weirdly the translucent sole got better grip on the dusty dusty NAIA court next door to my juco and rubber is harder bhm got good grip too but dirt stuck and rubber is much softer

What? The reason those shoes are $160 is because of the primeknit. Quit claiming your opinions as facts. You're wrong.

 

[leroythegreat38]

The Dark Ops have an elastic toe cap (vs. suede on I'mma Be a Star and leather on Pioneer/Home). Some in this thread who have both leather and elastic say there isn't much difference in terms of feel while I think I saw one person said the elastic feels better. Sizing should be the same for both leather and elastic toe caps.

Where are you located? LA has them all over.

Thanks for the response. I live in Ohio.

The primeknit IS the reason for the extra $20 on the price tag lol. I do respect the conviction you have when being so wrong though

If you've never touched primeknit and don't know what it feels like, s.t.f.u. with your comparisons because they have no base. It's funny how you try to sound factual when you've never touched the material before. Smdh.

They are all so pretty to me. But I chose these. I want to see if I can get my hands on the homes or pioneers but I'm out of money and gift cards.

Relax yourself, CHIEF. I emphasized so people would not miss the word because we have people like you in here acting like the factual truth who have no idea. Don't state facts like you know or have a clue then get mad when you're called on it. Good day, sir.
