A really good-looking basketball shoe, with some trade-offs.
The good:
- the shoe looks great
- the shoe seems like a good daily, on and off the court
- the insole is totally new to me, and I'm curious to see how it breaks in and performs
- the insole will likely compress downwards, giving you a bit more vertical space in the shoe
- the outsole will keep your foot locked in, preventing and lateral foot movements / sliding around when do crossovers, cuts or step backs
The bad:
- the shoe is very heavy, like a boot
- USA gets the worst colorways, with the exception of the recent ACG Air Mowabb colorway
- the shoe is very snug in the toe box
- the shoe is not friendly for players with wider feet
- the outsole will not break in, so don't expect it to break in and widen laterally
