it's sad Adidas got such a huge hype & followers while for Puma there's virtually none.

I believe Puma had the head start on Boost tech but somehow they only released very few models of NRGY. Both looks identical but how about the cushioning? Is NRGY softer than Boost? NRGY also comes with soft insole to complement the Foams.

i believe there's a side by side comparison between Brand Black & ZO2. the ZO2 has some refinement and doesn't distort as much as Brand Black improving stability. but no way it's worth $500.

but the design of 8 looks like something from the 00's.

is there any rule of thumb on lacing up your shoe so you can easily tighten the shoe (at least up to the top 3 slots) by just putting the straps on the top, and loosen the straps by pulling the top area apart? I own a few Nike shoes i notice to tighten all the slots on the top you have to pull...

i have the OG CP3 8, i had to go half a size up due to the narrow toe box. while i have enough space for the toes it feels like the toebox has unusual curved angle that it feels like the shoe's bending your toe inwards. traction wasn't that great at all.

well I find the material on the 7 primeknit good looking but they don't seem durable. i already have cuts on the tongue area which i felt just doesn't wrap around the leg like it should. I really wish they retro the 5's it's has the best fit and doesn't seem to have much of a weakness other...

Late in the game on the 7 got myself a Primeknit. I actually bought the wrong size due to Adidas odd size i though i owned the Drose 5 9.5 apparently i owned the 9 i ended up with 9.5 on the 7's but lucky it actually fits. 7's 9.5 seems as big as the 5's 9. you'd think they actually get the size...

any folks care to tell how's the rubber sole? is it durable rubber with deep groove like IX or have they switched in the Softer Signature rubber? Soldier line has always been Outdoor giant corporate like Nike will have contracts with courier to ship their mass produced items, for ID, wouldn't...

any folks care to tell how's the rubber sole? is it durable rubber with deep groove like IX or have they switched in the Softer Signature rubber? Soldier line has always been suitable for Outdoors.

how's the rubber sole? compared to 9? is it on the softer side?

well i missed out the deal to get the IX Cavs colorway (Red White) for $60 as my 2nd pair, now all's left are the Premium versions which are still sold at full price. i see the premium more like mall shoes not sure if the uppers are as durable as the standard. The sole looks the same but Nike...

hi, the 2015 Hyperdunks are now $50. However I find that shoe ultra uncomfortable especially the uppers. Since i need ankle support i would lace them up top & tight, but doing so i can't even run or do layup properly because the shoe is obstructing my feet movement. worst is i don't actually...

Any folks here wear worn the IX and balled in them before trying on the X? How's the performance compared to IX? I have the IX i find it a balance between ankle support, grip, cushion & ground feel. even though they aren't 10/10 in each department i find it Jack of all Trades for an outdoor...

i'm basing it off the design. 6 is the ugliest with that useless cross straps.
