They feel a lot lighter than a retro thats for sure.
For another comparison a Lunarglide 5 was 10 oz.

Thanks my main shoe is the Kobe 8 which are crazy light but i think my lunar has bottomed out. The heaviest shoe i play in now is the og hyperdunk lol. I think i could do some damage in these though.

Maybe the XX9 hype keeps the XX8 SE's on the backburner for us fiends.

dang.. Lot of people say weight doesn't make a difference but I feel quicker in a lighter shoe. Maybe its all in my head.

Nice to see a flagship model thread gaining some steam. It's been a while since that has happened, usually its the retro threads that have all the steam. Seems like most people in here are talking about the performance and weight of the shoe, than talking about what outfit it can be worn with, or an early link, or if a bot can get the shoe for them....

It's an oversimplification for people to say weight doesn't make a difference.
If we're talking about 11 oz to 12 oz, yeah, probably not gonna make a noticeable difference.
But to compare playing for 2+ hours in a 10 oz shoe vs. a 16 oz shoe...come on. There's going to be a difference. I don't think it matters too much for us gym rats as we're not exactly competing for anything substantial. But if I can afford it, and there's a really good lightweight shoe and a really good heavier shoe, I'm taking the light weight shoe of course.

Haha, no offense because I know we're on NT and in Jordan Brand, but I quit retro J's a long time ago. Still like the look of them, but I'm rocking trainers or new balances for casual wear now. I had so many retros that I was so afraid to wear. Only getting kicks that prioritize function over form at this point in my life.
Not sure what to think about older people wearing them. Don't wanna sound like a hater, but I can't imagine competing with teenagers trying to cop some retro Jordans. I had to move on at some point.

At one point I went from playing in hyperfuse to crazy 8 and it literally felt like I was running around with ankle weights on. my shins were burning when I was done hooping

I just like to mix up my rotation with different types. Retro and modern Jordans, Lunarglides, Air Max, CJ81s, etc.

Crazy 8's do feel like bricks though. The light shoe revolution got us all spoiled.At one point I went from playing in hyperfuse to crazy 8 and it literally felt like I was running around with ankle weights on. my shins were burning when I was done hooping

Is this a rotation you ball in? Or just casual rotation? I'm assuming the latter but since there's quite a bit if performance talk amongst us in this thread just wanted to verify. Also not the first time I've seen people reach outside the realm of bball shoes for something they had on court... So the former couldn't necessarily be discounted either.

Yeah.... Definetly not my thing but hey.... To each their own. You'd be surprised how many people I see around my area wearing trainers/runners out on the court... If only they knew the things they were missing.... Hahaha

I have never seen the SE or the Shrouded Jordans to try on. With that being said, I tried on the Melo 10's and went a 1/2 size down for a good fit. For those who have worn both, is it the same with SE's and Shrouded versions or are they TTS?

Yeah, but there is also the occasional guy or two with runners/trainers and VANS (that's right, I said VANS) that absolutely tear it up on the court. I can't comprehend it for the life of me.
Still, the potential for injury just seems higher, but maybe there's no factual evidence for that.
