Thanks to whoever posted the birthday coupon. Walked in the store with Roshes and walked out with Pure Boosts. Love that they give you orange and blue laces with the black color way.
I've been hooping in mine a couple times a week for 2 months, no durability issues here.
Keep in mind those KG dudes practice/play A LOT (prob 15+ hours a week) and they ball hard- you can see in their videos that they are fast and can dunk. So they put a lot more stress in their shoe than the...
Traction on these is inferior to Kobe 8s.
Duke has suggested wearing HyperRevs outside on a hard surface to "break in" the traction but I haven't tried that yet.
After playing ball multiple times on clean and dirty floors, I can confidently say the Kobe 8s have better court traction than...
Ran in these twice so far. Absolutely love the full length Zoom Air and the freedom that the mesh upper gives you.
I did have an issue with the traction the first time I ran, but it seemed to be better the second time.
Overall I'm pretty satisfied with how these perform, definitely fun for a...
After good reviews from KG, Nightwing, and Duke, I'm looking to pick up a pair.
Tried 'em on at FTL today and was pretty shocked and how soft and comfy they were. Definitely looking forward to full length Zoom.

"I played like crap but the shoes are really nice on-court."
Q: Would this work better for big basketball players more than the smaller basketball players?
A: they're designed for guards but could work for forwards
Q: wonder how this perform compares with...
Balled in these for 90 min last night.
No problems with traction, though the gym floor was pretty clean. I laced mine pretty tightly and the pressure at the knot was kind of annoying at times, but I didn't find it to be a big deal. Cushioning is on point- it's my first time playing in the...
So sad there's no wide option. I know the mesh is stretchy, but for some reason my feet just can't get with the Roshes. I can wear a size 9 wide okay with the FR2s, but even sizing up to 9.5 in Roshe does me no good.
The height of the shoe collar has nothing to do with ankle stability. Yes, NBA players get ankle sprains in Kobes. Yes, NBA players get ankle sprains in high tops.
Not true. KD definitely had a part in the KD I through KD IV being under $100- I can remember interviews where he said he wanted his sneakers to be affordable to kids. Looks like that's no longer the case. I saw on the other site that the KD VI will supposedly be $130, which basically elevates...
