I haven't copped, but the few reviews I've seen on them have all mentioned that the traction isn't good. If that's important to you, it seems you should proceed with caution. Maybe certain colorways will have better traction? Or if you play on a very clean court maybe they'll be fine? I'm...

No doubt. Just look at how popular Curry 1's got after they won the title, and then the following season Curry 2's really blew up.

SMH, Melo in his 14th season. How many 14 year veterans with a knee surgery in their past can jump? Melo does his thing off skills, strength, and fundamentals at this point. The shoes are pretty damn good for players that can jump though. Lightweight, great fit, and that forefoot unlocked...

Hopefully the heel is softer than the M12. That was my only complaint with that shoe.

Yup. M12, probably my favorite of the shoes I've played in the last year: Hyperdunk '16, Lillard 2, Curry 2, Rose 6, Kobe 11. The fit was just too good.

I'm kind've tired of all red colorways. Don't know why all these brands keep coming out the gate with all reds for new releases. Crazy Explosive, Lillard 3, Melo 13....just not feeling all the red, I feel like it's an overdone colorway.

Not something I'd personally buy for looks, but if they perform I will likely get them when the price is right. I love the M12. Hoping these have a better cushioned heel though. If they do, and they can maintain the great fit, good traction, and the forefoot zoom that feels great from the...

Curious to how you think the M12s compare to the XX9's. I've heard they are similar in a lot of ways. I have the M12s and like them a lot. Is the XX9 a big enough upgrade to justify paying $150 or so in your opinion?

I went TTS in the primeknits. I probably could've gone down half a size, but all the same these don't feel crazy big or anything. Just a little extra room in the toe box. Just depends on how snug of a fit you want. I personally have no plans to use these outside though. I'd be afraid of...

I recently started playing in the draft days....this shoe is incredible to play in. Nike might've screwed up by putting out the elites with translucent outsoles first, because word was out that the traction was trash on this shoe. But the solid rubber outsoles? They grip the court hard...

Just copped those Rip City Primeknits. So excited for them to arrive. I missed out on the original Rip City, and also the Static. Those were the only 2 color ways I liked enough to buy.....until this one. Really excited to get these. Going to play in them, and if I don't like them better...

I bought them back in January, a few weeks after they came out and wore them in the gym while coaching for a few weeks before I ever played in them. Whatever clunkiness they had(don't remember if they were like that while wearing them initially) was gone by the time I started playing in them...

Love this shoe. In the last year I've played in the Curry 2's, Rose 6, and Hyperdunk 2016....all very good shoes. But to me, the Melos are the best. That fit is just perfect and the forefoot zoom feels great. No heel zoom is the only flaw. I should pick up another pair since they're so...

Copped the black and blue pair from Finish Line for $80 after codes and discounts last week. Took them out of the box and......on the left shoe, the swoosh is backwards and upside down. This is a first for me. Anyone hear of that happening before? Other than that the quality of the shoe is...
