Top Shotta, None Hotta!
Well okay! The cushioning on the shoe is amazing, gives you a comfortable ride and allows you to feel the floor pretty well at the same time. Traction is great, didnt notice myself slipping or sliding even when there was dust on the floor.
With that being said, the traction isn't over done like some adidas shoes (where you stop on a dime and the shoe has no give) which could potentially cause injuries (doesn't allow you to shift weight)
The ankle support is good, I felt locked in once I laced them up but I wasn't completely restricted (you will notice there's an area on the column of the shoee towards the outside where the material is flexible I find this helps with lateral movements). I like it because you dont wanna feel like you're wearing a cast when playing.
Breathability of the shoe is nice due to the flyknit, your feet dont feel like they are on fire after you've played for a length of time. The flyknit also doesn't crease which would mean its reinforced from the inside ..
Weight..while its heavier than the Kobe 8 due to their being more material its still lighter than your average ball shoe. I didn't feel heavy on my feet at all (I play guard)
All in all, great shoe that I can see myself hooping in for quite some time. Hope this helps you and anyone else out who copped to hoop in them.
