Nike PG 1

Did it take a couple wears for y'all to feel the zoom??

The shoes are weird, in the Shinings I felt the zoom. I have a couple other color's and I felt nothing. I wore the Oatmeal's twice and I find myself pressing on the forefoot to see if I feel the Zoom and nothing.

Definitely an aspect of the shoe where the price point rears its head. My shining pair had awesome zoom out of the box. Tried on a size 15 ivory and the zoom was great as well, but the size 14 wasn't. I kept the 14 since it fit better, and it has broken in somewhat from casual wear.

This model has a very plush ortholite insole for step-in comfort. So combined with bottom loaded zoom, it's hit or miss whether you'll feel it immediately through that insole.

My first PG1's finally found a colorway I really liked, first time playing in them today. Not bad at all, need to test them out a few more times. But so far so good......thought I'd share some pics......
Looking smooth, that colorway is the one I've been thinking of copping if I ever went for the PG1, might have to cop now tbh [emoji]129300[/emoji]
 
Those gloves are supposed to help improve handles, there is no grip or something like that to help control the ball or something.


ahh ok, that makes sense. I didnt know they made stuff like that.

thanks guys, I was really confused for a minute :rofl:

Correct, the gloves also have weights on top to help build muscle strength/memory - and yes its also slick on the inside part to help with ball control. Once you take the gloves off, the ball feels like its on strings.......def something that helps in my opinion.
 
Nice ball, I want know but don't want to drop $140 on it.

How is it, I heard it takes a long time to break in?
Thanks, I love the NBA ball. This was actually given to me by CJ Miles

Not alot of ppl like the ball, ( or I should say when I go play pick up ball, they don't even know its a real NBA ball or they will tell me its not real lol ) the weight of it is heavier, very nice and love that its real leather, so when you sweat it absorbs vs the opposite w/ the Evolution balls. Def prefer to hoop w the NBA.....

I got it new, and it didn't take long to break in for me, but thats bc I hoop 3-5 day a week. Probably took a good 3-4 months I would say, and most of that was on a 24 hour fitness dusty court. It comes kinda orange, but gets dark pretty quick...

and yea its not cheap, you can buy them on nbastore.com for $170, but I would wait til they have those days where you can get 15-20% off on them. So yea you're right around $140 after a coupon/discount
