On a scale 1(terrible) 10(excellent)
- Comfort level:
- Cushioning:
- Traction:
- Also does the strap come off easy during play? On the Jordan 20's the Strap came off like used up scotch tape on a wall after long term use.
- Is there any interruptions that happen when wearing (blisters, arch aches)?
- Do they crease badly?
comfort level: 7... they're not the most comfortable shoe, but they are still really comfortable despite them being designed for outdoor kicks. theydon't leave any wear or tear on the bottom of my feet, so i would recommend these for any religious outdoor baller
cushioning: 8... compared to other outdoor hoop shoes such as the air raid, these have more bounce to the ounce, feel me? the zoom air in the heel helps. too bad it's not across the whole foot, but the mid and forefoot are still really comfortable. there's prolly no zoom air in the rest of the shoe fordurability reasons, but the comfort of these makes me wanna buy another pair of them just for outdoors again.
traction: ?... i havent and don't plan to wear them indoors, and these shoes feel like any other pair outdoors. however, i just hope they're asdurable as advertised for outdoors, because i bought these shoes strictly for outdoor play.
-- the straps on these shoes stay on really well, and dependingon how tight you strap them, especially the top one, they really lock your foot down and prevent your ankle from rolling, which is another great attribute ofthese kicks (not having to use an ankle brace for them)
-- after one wear, i didnt have any blisters or aches/pains @ all, which is great. they provided a good ride throughout my two hours of play in them.
overall, i love these shoes. i bought the mostly black ones from footaction and plan on buying another pair (black/red patent pair), so feel and weight mayvary between the two...
