adidas Performance Men's Crazylight Boost Low 2016 Basketball Shoe

I'm 42, in semi-good shape, been playin' the game since I was 5, & haven't played in anything but Nikes for the past 20 yrs but tonight I put these on in our weekly pickup games & I must say I felt like they gave me a considerable boost in quickness, traction, and stability when compared to my Nikes. They're kinda squishy & rubbery around the ankles so that's different but anyway, thought they worth commenting on for anyone who plays & wants a superior shoe. Very good if you're quick guard who likes the jab step & step back.

I actually wear this for tennis, but I can also see why it would be a great basketball shoe. The best part about it is the full length Boost cushioning of the type you don't see in tennis shoes. The Jacquard upper is nice and comfortable also. I heard that others have had problems with heel slippage, but it hasn't been a problem for me and I have narrow heels. The traction pattern is perfect for clay. It works well on hard courts too but might be too sticky if you like to slide. I've worn some the best tennis shoes including the Adidas Barricade Boost and Asics Gel Resolutions, but this is my favorite overall. I'll still use the Barricades when I want something a little more responsive, but I sacrifice comfort and forefoot cushioning for that.

I've only racked up a list of complaints about the shoe for the 6 months I've been wearing it. The fit is 'weird'. Wide-footers beware. Definitely can't go smaller, but if I were to go bigger with this much heel slippage already, it would be impossible. The shoe materials don't really break in either. Heel slippage continues to be a huge problem for me; make sure they fit well before buying. I'm sure it'd be a great shoe for those that don't have my problem and have a great fit with it, but my suggestion is not to chance it if you can't try it on before hand. Noticed that adidas has a problem with consistency when it comes to fit. Materials have lasted though, credit there. The boost is pretty stiff, but there was a window of really great cushion after the break in that is flattening out now. I got a colorway with the continental outsole hoping it would be an improvement over the regular, and all I can say about the traction is lackluster. I can't say I've had any memorable slips, but the shoe makes me feel like I can't trust it to handle a hard cut. The traction has never been as amazing as others have described it, and after 6 months, I doubt it'll 'break in' as it just feels like it attracts more dust now. I knew it was the opposite of crazylight before I bought it, but the shoe is also definition bulkiness.

The sneakers look nice but are not durable. As another reviewer stated, the eyelet on the sneaker broke with in the first month. The same happened to my pair of sneakers. At $80 the sneakers should not have broken in the first month from normal use. I was unable to return them as the return/refund link was not accessible a month after purchase. I tried to contact the seller but did not receive a response. I wouldn't recommend these sneakers.The picture below illustrates the regular sneaker and the broken eyelet (top of the sneaker )

The Crazylight Boost 2016 is a beast of a shoe. Wearing this shoe for the first time reminded me a lot of the old Kobe 5s, but much better in all aspects. The full length Boost cushioning is top notch. It's slightly firmer on the forefoot (for quicker response) and softer on the heel (for more impact protection). The transition from Toe to Heel is seemless. The outsole is made of Continental rubber (for non-transparent outsoles) which makes it slightly more durable. I've used it for eight (8) hours the past week for tennis on a hard court and the outsole is working wonders with minimal wear (I'm not a toe dragger, so that helps). The lockdown of the shoe is great as well and it's a little snug fit for a regular width foot like mine, but it's a good kind of snug without any toe jamming. The materials used for the upper feels premium, it could use just a tad bit more ventilation. I reckon, this shoe is one of the best low tops currently out with Harden Vol. 1s. Purchase these with confidence. Cheers!

The show itself is amazing. I didn't expect it to not come in the original box though, instead I got a plain old cardboard box but it works anyways. For this planning to get the shoe, I do recommend to check out performance reviews and websites that talk about the shoe. The show fits fine but the heel slippage is really something to be aware of. Runs slightly large if you were to go through to size, so I would personally recommend you go down half a size, or a full size to get it to be snug and perfect. But overall everything was good. Had a lil small issue with shopping where the package got resent back to owner and I had to reorder it but overall everything was good.

I love the traction and the stability the shoes provide. However, like other people, I constantly slip back and forth in the shoe because of the width of the front part of the shoe. No matter how tight I tie the laces (which other reviewers recommend) I still have the same issue. In spite of this issue, I do love the shoes because I have had plenty of foot and ankle problems in the past and these seem to provide good ankle support with a ton of cushioning while also being very impact absorbent

Very comfortable. I had a pair of the Hyperdunks and they would rub a spot on my ankle unless I wore really thick socks. These don’t rub anywhere at all. Fit well.I play basketball about 3x a week and they are going strong after 4 months. They don’t slip on the court and aren’t heavy. I still feel athletic and able to jump without feeling weighted down like some shoes.

Mi hijo tuvo unas hace tiempo y las quería de nuevo. La verdad es que no entiendo por que es tan caro un modelo de 2016 pero es lo que tiene...

Boost-Material wie immer sehr angenehm.Grip sehr gut auf den Hallenböden auf denen ich gespielt habe.Material fühlt sich gut/hochwertig an.Jedoch ist durch das Schnürrsystem nicht ein sehr guter Sitz möglich.

Excellent chummayy
