Unbiased Review

The P400 design is very minimal with the grey day, all black and permafrost colorway and can be easily styled on the court or off the court. Personally, the shoe looks great in the ‘grey day’ theme and to be honest, I feel like a stylistic approach in my mind with it is having a translucent outsole and different color/style lace option which I did with mine where I swapped it with white rope laces. Fit wise, they’re a bit snug by the toe and that’s if you like a one to one fit and the lockdown as a whole is really good as the cupping of the heel, does keep my foot in place. For casual use, going half a size up will be enough for comfort without the need to break in. Material wise is decent for the price, product description was very vague in terms of what material they really used on the ‘grey day’ version and possibly the black and permafrost colorway since the feel of the material doesn’t feel like leather, although looking up close it has this leather like texture. Traction is great and really does bite the floor and is durable. Cushion might not be for everyone as compared to the predecessor to this shoe (Fresh Foam BB v3), it’s not as bouncy but more responsive and closer to the ground which I like. Neither the previous model and the P400 have no real complaint about the cushion setup. Overall, the shoe is a good all around, with fitting may vary with some people, while for me on my insights for fitting might be fixed with more wearing time and the snugness by the toe box area will space out and the material option could’ve been better but nonetheless, the shoe is great for its price.

Decent

Feels like pillows and materials are primo but runs extremely tight size up half a size or full

Good Cushion, Bad Upper Materials

Go with freshfoam bb v3 instead. Uppers are way to uncomfortable

Solid Basketball Shoe From New Balance

To give a more accurate score these are a 8.4/10 overall. Very akin to the fresh foam bbv3 but also reminds me a bit of the two wxy v5. I played two full court games in them and the break in period was very minimal, underfoot comfort was good out of the box. Traction was solid, not as good as the two wxy v5 but still good. Impact protection was top notch of course with the fresh foam x, lockdown was actually maybe the best part of this shoe for me, a lot of lace adjustability allowed me to really dial in the fit. Court feel given the cushioning was better than expected, felt lower to the ground vs my two wxy v5s. Lastly the fit, I wear 11.5 most often in basketball shoes, sometimes 11, these I felt better with the 11.5.

P 400

These shoes are like wearing pillows on your feet. They take a couple wears to break in but once you do, they are fantastic for running up and down the court.

A little bit tight but I’m sure they will stretch out

Shoe

Shoes did not meet my standards. Fits very tightly on my foot and very uncomfortable when walking.
