Hey. I got these today and I can tell you they run small. I usually wear us 9.5 (27.5cm) which I got this time and I think I need to get number 10, so 28cm. I think it`s because of the cushioning around the ankle area. I prefer my shoes loosely laced, as I don`t play ball in them, just rock `em like everyday use. They feel very nice when laced like that and even then they fit the foot well. When I lace them loosely the toes touch the front of the shoe which can get a bit painfull when worn long time.
When I laced them tight tho, I had no problem. But as I said before I don`t lace my kicks like that so..

Hope that helped you. Peace from Poland!

Overall performance 7. Heel to toe transition 7. Lateral movement and slashing, this has to do with traction, on hardwood when the shoe is clean 8. heel comfort 7. arch support its ok (this is different for every player since we all have different shape foot). ankle support 10 when laced all the way up. As far as rebounding it depends what kind of rebounding your doing. If your battling primarily down low no.

i would pick the hyperdunks over these

I would recommend this for casual wear and suggest that the only sport you play with them is basketball. The traction is only good on clean wooden surfaces. They are also descent for outdoor basketball. Not for track though. If you are looking for a shoe that you can use for indoor/outdoor and for multiple sports I would suggest the Nike Zoom Huarache Trainer

I really love the way these look. But, between you and me, will they last, and are they as good as advertised. Everyone says something different, and I just want a straight answer. Would you recommend these for basketball, and for other sports. I would like to buy these, and use them outdoors, and indoors, along with on the track, but I’m not sure if they are good enough. My other options are the new Hyperdunks, and the Lebron 8′s. Please respond.

Is it a nice performance shoe?

By: Michael Vincent

I don’t think they’ll hold up for a season. The shoes will look good the whole season though. I use the shoes sparingly and mostly when I hoop outdoors. It’s also up to your personal preference. I have a lot of shoes to compare them to so I’ll go with the best one I have when I play. The Kobe V are still my top shoes and the Hyperfuse working their way up.

I like the style of this shoe, and what you said to ty, i dont really want those, because of the style the air jordan alpha 1 has. But im going into the 12th grade sooon and i wanna finish the basketball teeam in style, so do you think this shoe has enough cooshining and comfort to hold up for the season?

By: Michael Vincent

Michael Vincent — Fri, 02 Apr 2010 05:11:53 +0000

They’re an average shoe to play in. The shoe provides good cushioning. I only use them when I know I’ll be playing in a clean wooden floor since thats when it provides the best traction. As the weather gets warmer they will be my main outdoor shoe though. You can get a much better shoe for the same or cheaper like the KD2, Kobe V which I recommend or wait for the Hyperdunk 2010. If you’re looking for a Jordan shoe to play in I would look at the 16.5, Melo6, Icons, or 2010′s
