[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have to say these shoes are amazing. I go outside to run, workout, and play basketball. I am currently on my weight loss journey and currently down 30 pounds. These shoes have given me what I needed to get things done, while being comfortable. They were worth every penny and I plan to purchase more in the future if ever needed.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Got these in a size 8 and even with thin socks it’s a tight fit. Plus I got narrow feet, however maybe I gotta break them in a bit more to expand the toe box. At minimum that means they won’t come loose while using. Good amount of cushioning around collar although while playing ball, it doesn’t give confidence of ankle protection. Fairly firm sole with a hint of soft foam. It’s comfy to walk in throughout the day and use at gym so that’s a pro. Classic swoosh detailing with an “air zoom” hit in the side and versatile black/white color way. A solid, more budget friendly shoe to ball in and utilize during the day.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I usually wear high tops to hoop in but these were a dope surprise! Not only did my ankles feel good and supported, they had me stopping on a dime for my jump shot, no sliding. I love that they are lightweight which makes them easy to carry around in a gym bag and not daunting to carry after a long game. Nike needs to keep producing this quality of shoes that keep you light on your feet while getting the job done!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Loving these basketball shoes. Not only is the price affordable, but great for the quality you get. I can tell they will last a long time. They are very durable as well as flexible. Has plenty cushion and ankle support. Snug to get a good grip on the court whether it's inside or outside. I have the black and white, but the is a variety of colorways you can choose from. The design and is not too much or too less. It's just right and can go with anything from your jerseys to practice gear. Easy to clean and easy to store in your bag. Lightweight and the shoelaces stay tied. I know that's a factor when choosing the right shoe for the game. I felt comfortable training in them. True to size. I great pick.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] After wearing these shoes a few times I think they are alright. They definitely run small. My foot feels like it’s crammed in the shoe. Very narrow with a small toe box. Not a lot of cushion in the sole either. I thought they’d be a little bit softer but not something I could wear for a full game. The design looks ok as well. Very modern and I like the feel of the shoes where the toes are. Doesn’t breathe that well either. Feet stay hot and sweaty. Overall I think it’s an ok shoe that could use some upgrades.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I'm a big fan of these shoes. The black and white is always a classic colorway that works with everything. The shiny black streaks on the outside provide a cool contrast. The grip has been really solid and allows me to feel confident with all my cutting. There is plenty of cushion to play for a couple of hours. I like that they are also a good in between of not being too narrow, but also not really bulky. They also fit true to size. They work great for me as a guard. So far, I haven't found anything I would really change in these shoes for the price.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Absolutely love these basketball shoes! They are both supportive and lightweight, they don’t feel like they weigh you down while running and jumping, but are still super supportive underfoot and around the ankles. They’re very cushioned, still allowing for sharp cuts while playing. The breatheability is also great, your feet don’t feel like they’re sweating the whole time. I’ve also worn these shoes while running outdoors, so they’re very versatile. I’ve found that they run true to size, I typically wear a size 9 in men’s shoes and these fit perfectly. If you’re looking for a comfortable, supportive, and versatile basketball shoe this one is for you!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These shoes get the job but aren’t the most comfortable. They are a bit snug, I’d probably recommend going up .5 a size. They provide good stability when shuffling sideways, and I was able to stop and switch directions without feeling like I’d slip and fall. The shoes were pretty stiff at first, but after a couple of days of balling the cushioning started to feel better. The shoes themselves look great and have some cool stiching details to them.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Overall these are great shoes to play basketball in. They have amazing traction and grip, which is really helpful. They have a lot of padding around the ankle which makes them really comfortable around that area. The toe box does feel a little tight, but I still need to break them in more. I’m used to wearing really cushy running shoes so the sole does feel a little hard and dense by comparison. I love the sleek look of these in the black and white colorway! They have a bunch of striking diagonal stripes and angles that look awesome without being super flashy. Definitely a great shoe to ball in for the price!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’m very happy with these basketball shoes from Nike. They are extremely comfortable and provide great support when playing. The material feels strong and well made, so they seem like they will last a long time. I also really like the all-black color because it’s very versatile and goes with everything. Overall, a great pair of basketball shoes that combine comfort, durability, and style!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Overall, I was quite impressed with these shoes. Visually, I like the clean design and color-way. The materials and breathability of the shoe are decent but not anything special. The comfort was also satisfactory. Performance wise, the shoes exceeded my expectations. The traction held up on a slightly dusty court, and my feet felt locked into the shoes. Furthermore, the zoom unit on the forefoot felt great during jumping and cutting movements. The shoes are a little narrow in the front, so I’d recommend getting size up if you have wide feet.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This shoe is excellent on the court for traction and quick cuts. The cushioning is very comfortable, and the shoe required very little break-in time. The upper provides enough structure and support for quick movements, while still being soft and breathable. This shoe seems overall quite durable. Fits true to size.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This slightly budget version of the ever popular, high-performance G.T. Cut hoop shoe feels slightly less premium, but if you're using it to actually hoop, get dirty, and get scuffed... yeah, you barely notice the difference between this and the more premium version of the shoe. The materials are "cheaper" but everything else is there -- the lightness, comfort, lockdown feel, and performance. The traction is nothing special, but it bites so well on an indoor court. So many multiple materials, colors, or cool designs -- just proven traction in all directions. Love how the heel is rounded to allow for all the times during hooping where your foot won't be fully flat on the ground. The forefoot "rigor" on the outer side of the shoe is also very clutch -- it helps greatly in preventing rolled ankles (which every hooper knows the pain of). The lacing system is also nothing fancy, but just a proven recipe. Super lockdown, and despite how low-cut the shoe is, I feel very secure in them. Because it's so "not fancy" and easy to put on and take off, it accommodates ankle braces easily as well. The fit is also completely true to size, and I love how fairly wide it is. It's kind of narrow in the mid-foot, but there's plenty of space in the forefoot. Lastly, although the materials are less "premium", they're still pretty thoughtful. For example, the top front part of the shoe is a different, hardy plastic because that's where you get stepped on the most by other players. All in all, highly recommend this shoe. Because it's so affordable (especially on sale), you have no second thoughts about going hard in these -- just wearing them like they're meant to be worn. You won't sweat if someone steps on them, or if you spill Gatorade on them, etc. If you still like wearing the more expensive versions, get these for practices and wear those for your games!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These are heaven sent if you stay active, they are very much wide feet friendly and are designed for comfort. Ankle support, heel support, everything you can need on a pair of basketball shoes. No broken ankles around here!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I always love trying to new basketball shoes. I like trying out new tech, different variations, etc. These were quickly taken out of my rotation with zero hesitation. I hoop several times per week and could tell these were not going to do it for me. The good: - price is reasonable (although when sales hit you can find player versions for close to this) - the fit, they are snug and lock you in well The not good: - cushion felt like standing on cinder blocks - comfort was not existent It's important to note I'm over 40 (but in good shape). So maybe these are better built for a teenager or young adult with less miles on their legs.
