Apparently this technology is coming to basketball shoes with the

and the
Crazy Light 4 Boost (Damien Lillard)

This is supposed to be a game changer in shoes. Anyone with the running shoes comment on the Boost concept?

Jeez, that black/grey area around the ankle on the Rose's is ugly. :(

[9erempiree]

Not going to lie. I am afraid to put my feet in those shoes. They cause injuries.

marketing hype gonna marketing hype

[KyrieTheFuture]

Shoes don't do anything but look bad

[TheReal Kendall]

Yo I really hate bball shoes nowadays. They all feel light and cheap. Like I have no support. I miss 90s bball shoes.

Is there a state holiday in Ohio? lol

own a pair of energy boost running shoes, and they are incredible
they offer great cushioning while still being very light
i think basketball shoes will profit from this, great shock absorption, very comfortable and very light can't wait to try a pair

I have to know if it's just me:

But do Adidas not breathe for you guys? Like I love the look and style of their shoes for just kickin it. But to ball in they cause my feet to sweat, and burn a lot, and then the shoe starts to smell with way less wear than other shoes.

Now I avoid them for ball shoes even though they're the only ones for decent pricing that the local shops carry in my size.

The majority of responses were Cleveland posters

Those look really, really ugly. Nikes are flimsy these days too but at least they look real nice.

Have you tried any Adiprene? It's breathable mesh material. If you sweat in those you might have a perspiration problem. They are the most breathable shoes I've ever owned

It's not about making you a better player, it's about the experience while playing in them. Cushioning, comfort, support....that's what purchasing basketball shoes is about


You just wastin hundreds of $'s.

Actually Adidas makes an extremely affordable shoe, even the signature lines are a fraction of any Jordan, Lebron, Kobe......
For a higher end name brandf you pay reasonable prices.

How is the cushioning compared to any Nike Air Max? is there an obvious return of energy?

[Jailblazers7]

Best part about Adi basketball shoes are the narrowness of the show imo. They fit my foot better than any other basketball shoe.

never used an air max shoe for running, i do own a vomero tho and the adidas is just miles better. While the Vomero is incredibly comfortable as well it's just very tiring running in it compared to the boost. So yeah the return in energy is obvious to anyone who's ever tried them on its not just some marketing bs
