PIPPEN REVIEW REQUEST: RETRO AIR MORE...

[sleepybluedemon]

UPTEMPO and RETRO AIR PIPPEN 2

Please give me the positives and negatives of these shoes.

A description of how they feel and fit would be appreciated.

Also, what would be a good value for both now?

Pip 2


- runs true, a little narrow in forefoot
- great performer for those who actually play ball.
- very good cushioning (full length zoom), support, and traction.
- tends to crease a LOT at the toe (think jordan xiii), but if you're balling in them, who cares?
- i've only balled in the og grain leather though, the retros look like they were made of cheaper material - you be the judge.

haven't played in the air mores, but i've played in the air max sensations - which i think would be a bit similar.


cushioning is really good but they feel a bit high off the ground with the max air (then again, the sensations have a bigger max bubble in the heel than themores)


i'd say they make a really good outdoor shoe, not sure about traction indoors.

If the Retro More Uptempo fits/performs like the OG, the shoe doesn't have that much going for it.

Pippen II's are excellent shoes. I would highly suggest picking them up.
