Anyone hooped in em yet?
Played in them once yesterday. Traction was great, didn’t wipe once. Floor could have just been clean tho. Cushion was comfortable, pretty low to the ground, nothing really special tho. Only played in them once so things can change but I enjoyed them.

Just got back from the store trying them on nd i’d say i got the assessment. Nothing special but they’d get the job done.

Just came back from a 2hr hoop session and I started off with the Zoom Freak 5. Initially, I felt like there was too much play in the heel lockdown. So I re-tied them with a runner's loop. This definitely helped tremendously. Cushion was good, as well as the traction. My biggest issue was stability in my quick cuts and change of direction. After about 45minutes, I switched to the Ja1 Fuel. Felt more stable in the Ja1 but it's definitely not a bad ride on the ZF5. I've been trying to decide which pair I'm going to go with for an upcoming tournament next Sunday. It's between the PG5, ZF5, Ja1, and the KD15. Right now the Ja1 and PG5 are in a tight race at 1 and 1A.

Got mine in this morning and took them to the gym to start breaking them in. The laser orange lebron XX’s are my two latest pairs of kicks this month and I’m starting to think I need to start sizing up since they’re both fairly tight around my feet.
Heel felt loose too so I already made a mental note to use the runner’s loop next time. Comfort wise, nothing really wowed me as far as cushioning or anything. Gonna work out in them again tomorrow and then try to hoop in them at night.
Cool bike was outside when I left the gym though.

Decided to break them in some more during a regular gym day. Did a 2 mile jog and another 1.5 miles worth of side-2-sides and back pedals on the treadmill. Felt a lot more contained than my first actual hoop session. But couldn't simulate quick cuts and change of directions or jumps. All-in-all they felt much better than day 1 (all things considered).

Exactly that why I pulled the trigger quickly. I probably could have wait until they went on sale but I wanted them badly
