alright, ive been using these shoes for a while. ill show you my full review.

im still growing im 13 years old, ~125lbs. 5'6. People say i have a game in the mix of a kobe bryant and a lamar odom because im left handed and lanky like lamar is, but is quick as hell and i have a deadly jumpshot & a quick slasher. I play G/F(sometimes).

Comfort: 9/10
from what ive read, the azk1's have zoom air in heel and in the forefoot. After trying them on, it seemed a bit stiff and hard. But after walking them out and playing in them for a few hours, the zoom air gets extremely soft, foot bruising and hurting is minimal in these shoes. Before these shoes, i played in Shox Mtx which only had phylon. So i could tell a HUGE difference between comfort.

Traction: 10/10
i dont recall any slipping in this shoe, traction is superb. ive played ~10 full length games and 9 three hour practices in this shoe and i've never had problems with this shoe. In the past, ive had problems with slipping on jab steps ,footstrikes, changes of direction. This shoe gets my vote because now , any movement of my foot will not cause my to slip on the hardwood.

Fit: 8/10
honestly, i was a BIT dissapoint with the fit. i love the tight feel of a shoe. The hole on the back made putting your foot into the shoe very easy. But my ankle felt too loose eeven when i tied it tight. My shox mtx gave me that ankle tightness.

Responsiveness: 9/10
extremely responsive but im not sure if carbon fiber had anything to do with it. the low profile zoom air blends response and comfort exceptionally. I have the same needs all of you need. When i step, i want the shoe to move with me, and i want it to feel like it apart of me. You wont be dissapointed with this shoe.

Overall: 9/10
You wont be dissapointed. Everything is pretty much great in this shoe.

I hope this helps.
