I've been rocking the Tatum 3's on court for a couple months now. Great shoes. I don't have much luck with really low cut sneakers, but the slightly higher cut of the Tatum 3 is right about where I like my sneakers. Traction is great and so is the lockdown. I do have two small gripes with it...

Just picked up a pair of these at the Nike Store for $79 plus 10% off. They've had them on/off at my local stores for a couple years at deep discount but never pulled the trigger. Man... let me tell you, I love these shoes. My only slight complaint is that they ride a bit high in comparison to...

I tried Vomero 17's. I typically run in whatever Pegasus model is out but this time wanted to see if these were better than the Pegasus. Honestly, I couldn't tell a big difference either way in performance, but I returned the Vomeros because they thin material at the top around the ankle was...

Anytime I had this problem, the solution ended up being thicker socks. So simple, but that seems to always clear up this frustrating issue.

I wear no logo socks personally

Good Sir, it is uncivilized to wear Jordan sneakers with Nike socks. We are not barbarians here. Please act accordingly.

Give us a review. I'm interested to hear how they worked out for you. I thought they were very solid after playing in them, but it wasn't until I went back to the Lebron XX for a game that I realized how good the Book's are. So damn comfortable and smooth. I couldn't believe how they made the XX...

You won’t be disappointed. I am very picky with hooping sneakers and these are my favorite since the AJ 28.

Look like team shoes from a 1993 Eastbay catalogue

Thanks, I have the Rattlesnakes, which I’m guessing are a little bit more restrictive than the Mirages due to being leather vs nubuck/suede. I went TTS and they fit perfectly. Looking at pics, I thought the Hikes would be harder material.

Do the Hikes still feel the same as the other Books? I’m thinking about copping but I’m concerned the “snakeskin” toe box material isn’t as soft or pliable as the other versions.

I actually would slightly disagree and say the are special. I tried the Lebron XX today again, and I was missing my Book 1's the whole time. It's not that the Lebrons are bad in any way, it's just that for me the Books are so much better. I felt 20% less smooth, less secure, and less agile. The...

I actually like the understated simple designs. We already have enough fruit loop and Skittle colorway shoes. A lot of the stuff out now is unwearable to me. I'm not finna wear peach/sky blue/neon green colorway shoes.

What I really appreciate about this shoe is the "old school" feel to the materials, but modern flexibility and lightness. I really hate all this mesh weave nonsense, and the Book 1 proves that you don't need paper thin see through silk shoes woven by exotic Amazon Jungle spiders to make a nice...

Extensive use is relative. For me that's 5 hours. :lol: After about 10 hours of play, no issues here, but I'm guessing you mean more time than that.
