I�ll start off this review by saying how much I love this sneaker. The silhouette is like no other sneaker out there and I�m glad Nike brought this sneaker to life. It stands out like no other shoe I�ve put on, it�s a great conversation starter and I believe more people should be in tune with the future.
The sneaker features a sleek in your face bulky design that catches a lot of attention, especially with the colors that have been releasing. The sneaker looks great both on court and off court, which can be great if you�re a basketball player and also a fashionista. The cushion 3.0 with the zoom Strobel under your foot feels very nice and bouncy, offering some of the most premium technology to date. The triangular grip pattern on the outsole offers great traction on the court, however beware of dust collection.
The only drawbacks I have with the shoe would be the poor heel lockdown which causes a ton of heel slippage, no matter if you wear thick socks, or if you crank the laces on these sneakers, and by the way, the laces are extremely flimsy and thin, which don�t offer a lot of security. That song is also very flimsy and thin, which can be slightly uncomfortable for some for me. Personally, I don�t have an issue, but I would�ve preferred if the tongue was attached closer to the top of the sneaker and if it was slightly thicker for more comfort. The sneaker also runs very small due to the padding inside the sneaker and also because of the narrow fit, combined with the extremely stiff upper which can put a lot of pressure on the side of your feet and also on the top. as someone with a medium sized foot, I had to go a full-size up for comfortability, I don�t feel any toe cramps like I did when I first purchased my true size, but I still get a slight pinching feel on the side of my feet. It�s not an unbearable feel however I do advise people with wide feet to avoid the sneaker entirely.
The cons might be a big factor for people buying the sneaker for basketball purposes I would recommend this product for more casual use. There are plenty of people like myself who loved this sneaker despite some of the drawbacks, if you plan on buying the shoe, I would recommend a half size to a full size up and if you can try them on the store, please do!
