Same cushioning. Albeit thicker by a bit. Soldier x are higher than these

Will check them out in store,
how do they feel compared to the soldier 10s? The 10s felt a bit stiff for me, still a great design though!

A lot of the YouTube ers are saying that these are more comfortable and easy to get into compared to the 10s.

80% chance he wears a white based colorway soldier 11 for game 3.

11 is more comfy and more responsive on court vs the 10's also the 10's feel like i had to break em in a bit to get that comfy feeling but the 11 is good out of the box.

Okay, just finished my first run in these....played on a dusty LA Fitness court. Some quick thoughts:
Pros: Zoom feels great, materials are very nice, great fit, overall just a very nice put together shoe
Cons: Average traction and lock down.
From a performance standpoint I wasn't very impressed, nothing really stood out to me about them besides the look and cushioning.

Cool. I'm just buying it to wear to the gym, so I'm good.
Seems like Lebron is wearing some infrared low at the gym right now via Cavs IG feed. Wondering if he'd wear that later.
Edit: seems like he's wearing some Kobes.

Is Zoom in the forefoot, heel, or both? Looks like there's some up front in the forefoot, which would make these a cop for me. Looking for the some new ballin' shoes, but not trying to go past 150 in price.

Two large zoom units that you can definitely feel.
Edit: Wouldn't recommend these for hooping. For the price there are much better options out there

Just saw the Court General at my local FTL & these don't have the strap inserts like the Prototypes

Yep it's like the soldier 10, but with 4 straps and the only strap inserts are the one that's located at the very top strap, I posted the pics below
View media item 2457309I circled the inserts that's not in court generals, so if I had to choose I would pick prototypes

That's weird. Why would they do that? I saw the wine and gold ones that Lebron wears also have the slot inserts on the straps as well. Do they have the dunking logo on the straps or not then?

Perhaps it's the difference between the premium and regular versions. Supposedly the prototypes are premium and cost $10 more due to the suede material instead of the regular ballistic nylon, and now maybe also the strap inserts. From pictures online, seems like the wine ones are also suede.

after 4 long sessions in these things, i've gotta say they are really good.
my only 1 complaint is that the very first strap by the toes caused discomfort from strapping it down too tight.
i never thought the straps would be able to contain the foot that well but they definitely do the job.....
hoping to to get another pair like the prototypes with the suede upper, these had 0 break in time...

$!0 isn't much though lol. But I guess that's cool. I just need this one, and then hopefully I'm out from buying Lebron kicks. Need to get more jerseys.

how is the traction holding on? NW says its a bad traction - was hoping this could replace the Soldier 9 but i guess i was right all along traction is really an issue on clear soles.

i havent had any traction issues with mine , as you can see in the pic i keep a traction mat with me when i go to play just in case, and I didn't need to use it once.
I read NW's review too and saw he was having trouble with the traction, I haven't had that issue at all. My local LaFitness and other High School gym are decent when
it comes to keeping the floors clean tho, I'd be interested to see if he was playing on a very dusty court.

Can someone let me know the Foot Locker SKU number for the Prototypes? I'm trying to locate a size 9.5. Thanks!
