How high do you want to fly? Get off the ground quicker in a design that helps you hover and hold your own in the air when the action goes vertical. If you’re a shooter trying to add lift to your jumper, a skyscraper hoping to float among the stars, or a ground bound beast trying to beat your opponent to that rebound off the rim, this shoe can add an element of explosiveness to your game. The bounce is unlike anything you’ve felt before, and the landing is cushioned, helping you spring back skyward once you hit the ground.

I did a lot of research before selecting this shoe as a middle aged guy with cranky knees, and lacking the explosiveness and bounce I had in my younger playing days. I've always gone up 1 full size in Nike athletic shoes, and these were no exception with the amount of cushioning. It's definitely a different court feel, and I must be a full 2" taller wearing them. I've never felt the need to 'break in' a pair of Nike's before playing in them but the upper plasticky material does feel pretty stiff out of the box. I would suggest stretching them out a bit and get accustomed to them before playing at full speed. They are definitely a heavy shoe and a bit clunkier so it will take some getting used to. Having played in them just once I did notice my knees are less sore then usual, so maybe there's something to all the cushion and shock technology.

Great looking shoe but too tight narrow fitting for casual wear.

I am 6ft, 250... These shoes are great for ankle stability and movement. The new design of the heal has provided better longevity for the shoe. In previous versions the air pocket would pop. They may not be the lightest, but I am not having to wear ankle braces to make up for bad ankle support.
