I haven't played in the XI, but I wear the Black Space casually & I don't think I can play in them. The traction on the NXT is very consistent. I've played in them 5 times & haven't wiped them off once. Once a month I usually get to the gym early & dust the court off. I've played on it before & after & had really good traction before the dusting & great traction afterwards.
the midsole on the ad here is silver/reflective right
I bought the grey pair strictly for ball & the white pair to wear casually. I'll most likely get another pair for ball & every release after that would also be for ball. These are THE best shoe I've ever played in so I'm trying to have a fleet of these joints like Storm Troopers.
Have you played in either of yours or are they both strictly for fashion?
There's no 'hype' because of fanboys. There's a difference between liking a shoe because of the shoe & liking a shoe because of the athlete. If Kobe was still playing it would've been the usual dislike of the sketches, rumored & official pics, then they'd see Kobe playing in them & this thread would have a 4 or 5 in front of the 89. Although I love the performance of the NXT, I do feel that it's way overpriced. The A.D. should've been no more than $130 & NXT no more than $160. But it's more of a hype & fashion day & age rather than the performance of a basketball shoe.
I disagree, the ADs were such a failure in every way, from marketing to bad reviews...
Meanwhile, today on ESPN...
There's nothing special about them and a downgrade from previous models, I could give two ***** about if Wall or IT are wearing them, they're going to do their thing regardless if they're wearing ADs or sandals.
But they're wearing A.D.'s. Consistently. Sooooo......... point not valid. Either way, like I said, if Kobe were still playing & wearing them cats would be all over them. Point blank, period.
Exactly. If you like them, great. If you don't, express it then bounce. Cats need to quit beating THEIR dead horse.
