Same Interior Design As Air Jordan

For people looking high top basketball shoes and shoes tongue is coming from the side of the shoe as Air jordan styles is not worth it for wide shoes and big people just skinny guys.

New Balance Is Evolving

Excellent comfort m, decent grip on slippery court, good after one wipe and excellent ankle and heel support. I would definitely buy another pair

Great Bball Sneaker Especially For Older Players

Very comfortable, good ankle support and great traction. Available wide width is a plus.

Overall Great Shoe With Minor Drawbacks

Bad: Shoe does run narrow even in the wide so it was a little snug in the wide but did break in pretty quick Materials are pretty dang stiff and even after a month they are still stiff Laces are to short Good: Cushion is amazing. I’m 6’3 225 and have knee and back problems, these make hooping enjoyable again It’s actually has more bounce than most people mention but I can actually get up and dunk again in these which I haven’t done in some time Lockdown is good Traction seems good but my courts is absolutely atrocious so I still slide some but noticeably less than others Support is great (potentially due to ultra stiff material) Personally I love this 90’s and early 2000’s look versus all the crap Nike has been putting out Check out weartesters video on YouTube, he has similar thoughts. Overall solid, if they make a softer material version that breaks in this could be 5 stars

Not What I Expected From New Balance

The shoes are heavier than the Hesi Lows V2, Fresh Foam BBs V2, V3, and Two Wxys V4, and V5. The traction/grip on these is way less than any of the above mentioned shoes. For those two reasons I had to return the shoes.

Too Narrow

I sized up and chose the wide option. Even with both choices the shoe was too narrow and unwearable. Why wont shoe makes stock wide basketball shoes. I cant find them anywhere.

Solid Shoe - Lace Issues

Ordered size 13 w/ wide width. Nice to find BBall shoe in a wide width. Fit is comfy but supportive in toe box area and throughout the shoe. Depending on how the tongue is pulled up you can get some friction issues on the upper ankle bone. Court performance has been very good with traction and stop/start so far. Top of shoe grip seems a little less than other shoes. Would reco to buy. One major issue is that shoe length provided is way too short if you use all eyelets. The need to send 63". Called and they will not send out any or even sell them to you. Seems like major miss.

Disappointed

It feels a bit heavy, and the padding at the back keeps digging into my heel area, causing shoe bites.

Great Ball Shoe

Most of these reviewers really haven’t tried on many shoes apparently these P 400s are very good basketball shoes on the heavy side but if you are especially a big person, these are great just remember they have a tendency to run a little bit narrow so pick the wide if you’re not sure what category your feet fall in you could always wear an extra insert and your feet will feel great. They have a large toolbox and stick to the floor very well. I actually tripped running backwards because they are so sticky but that was on me lol

No Ventilation

Almost no ventilation, horrible for basketball. The BB FF v3 were average/acceptable, can't believe they made these way worse. Put some real mesh instead of fake mesh.

Lightweight

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The shows were really light and have great ankle support. However after 2 games of basketball my feet started to hurt pretty bad

Solid Hoop Shoe

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Overall, solid first impression of these. They have stability, comfort and durability. Probably a better shoe for a forward/post, they are a little bulky for a guard.
