I am a 22 year old, 5'10 165lbs jump shooter who occasionally drives. My knees are getting sore from the wear and tears of the great game of basketball so I have gone from Zoom air to Max in the past few seasons.
I copped some all blacks with my discount ( got em for $110
) had to go a half size down ( 8.5 to 8 ) like any other Lebron's I have worn.
I ran on a tredmill for the first wearing which I always do to break in my ball shoes and was very impressed with the initial wear. By the way, I suggest doing this in further reviews for anyone becasue it really tells alot about the shoes especially if you just copped and can't get to a court.
Played a few Pick-up games at the local college. The courts are cleaned daily so the conditions were pristine. Here are some stats.
Fit: 9/10 - Fits like a glove but took a few wears to get used to the achilles support.
Traction: 8/10 - Never feared making sharp cuts but it just lacked something that I can't put my finger on.
Cushioning: 10/10 - Because my knees are shot, I really wanted that firm unforgiving setup that I love in Max air products. For years this is what I have been looking for.
Lace Lockdown: 9/10 - Simple yet superb.
Style: 10/10 - A work of art.
Confidence: 8/10 - Never thought of rolling my ankle once. Even though people say they are heavy, I felt as if they weren't even there especially in the later minutes.
Overall: 54/60 - Near perfect.
Questions asked: 6/15 people asked how they performed or commented on them.
Other Comments: I truly love this shoe! I have owned every Lebron to date and this one is far different. It is a step forward not only for the Lebron line, but also for Nike basketball. The past few seasons I have worn Kobe 4's , Zoom Flight 5, and Hyperdunk's and these shoes surpass all of them in overall quality and performance. Any questions or comments ( positive or negative) are gladley appreciated. Thank you for your time.
