I know a few have been waitin' for a review on court, got my all stars (East/West) from my local FL here in South Australia. To me they look equally greatin person I just had to cop both. I've only played in my East versions so far 3x. Here's what I think...........
Comfort & Fit 9/10: Very comfortable, a bit stiff to start with soI wore them casually a few times before I played in em' and I think it helped a lot. Fit is excellent, gives full lockdown support overall. As with foams,it's a bit tight in the forefoot area to begin with but will get better w/ wear. These definitely fit TRUE TO SIZE.
Cushioning 9/10: Excellent. Zoom in the heel and lunar foam in theforefoot does a great job. Forefoot doesn't feel as bouncy as my flightposites but it is still excellent. Comparing the insole of flightposites and lites,the heel is thicker on the lites. They are also low to ground which is great for guards like me but will be sufficient for forwards and light centers.
Ankle Support ???: The reason I put a question mark on these is coz Inormally play in lows so ankle support is not an issue for me. These are cut the same height as the Kobe IVs. It's not restrictive and gives me greatflexibility while being stable at the same time.
Traction 10/10: Straightforward herringbone pattern gives excellenttraction. They were great out of the box and even got better the 2nd and 3rd time I played. The gym I played was also a bit dusty.
Weight 7.5/10: After wearing lows and the Kobe IVs before I boughtthese, they felt a bit heavy. As you play in em' you won't even notice it. The weight in my opinion gives the shoe a more stable/solid feel.
OVERALL 9/10: A very solid shoe. Highly recommended for all positionsexcept really heavy centers. The All star versions are definitely worth the price tag for me. Broke many necks on court and streets.
If you have any questions don't hesitate to ask. Thanks!
