Nike Zoom LeBron Soldier 10 "Christ The King"

Traction: Suprisingly it was really good. Other sneaker channels and blogs have stated that the quality  of the traction "varys on the "color" of the traction". This was not a frost white or Translusent outsole so it did show minimal dust pick-up. I did not have to wipe off dust multiple times, I only wiped once and it was good to go.

Cushion: The cushion was "Good" for a player like me. There is Heel and Forefoot Zoom units in the shoe. To my knowledge this is a similar setup to the Nike Hyperdunk 2016, but just not as noticeable as the Hyperdunk. Keep in mind that court feel is minimal, I would recommend this shoe to bigger players.

Materials: The materials were fair, it contains a foam and mesh upper that are reinforced by stronger materials. The shoe is very "sturdy" due to the durable materials. I believe this will last you 1-2 seasons of play. The materials are forgiving so I would not call them "stiff".

Fit: The fit was good, so I would run true to size.

Support: The support was great. It is basically performance boot, so the ankle support is not bad. The ankle strap really made ME feel secure, but I would I understand if someone were to complain about the height of the shoe.

Adidas James Harden Volume 1

     Adidas announced its partnership with Harden as more of a collaboration than a regular endorsement deal, the two worked side-by-side in developing the Harden Vol. 1, which Harden says "is an extension of who he is as a person and player".

The first colorway of the Harden Vol. 1, named the "Pioneer," takes us the (The Consumers) back to the beginning of Harden's rise as a star basketball player. He recorded a sum of 22 points, 8 rebounds, 3 assists and 2 steals to lead Lakewood's Artesia High School to its second-straight California state title in March of 2007. The black, red and white colorway is a tribute to the Pioneers' team colors

For his apparel collection, Harden emphasized his desire to wear sportswear that was built for performance, but also showed off his sense of style. The pieces will be versatile for on and off the court wear, balanced by exaggerated fits and tonal executions. Key elements worked into the Harden apparel include breathable protection, secure storage, asymmetric wrapping and layered cushion.

Unlike most signature Basketball sneakers, the Harden Vol. 1 is defined by its unusual toebox. The premium shroud was developed from Harden's need for extra protection from opposing defenders stepping on his feet. Energy return is provided by full-length Boost cushioning system, which is only visible on the medial side of the shoe.

Engineered to assist Harden with his signature movements, an asymmetrical lacing system provides adaptive support and removes pressure from the top of the foot. A mix of knit and mesh materials keep the shoe flexible for free-movement.

The "Pioneer" Harden Vol. 1 launches Dec. 3 for $140 on adidas.com, with additional colorways to follow throughout the season. Expect the Harden apparel collection to release this fall

                                 Shoes Not to Get in 2016

Caution: Remember This is based of of my and most opinions.

1. Nike Kyrie 2 : This shoe is comfortable BUT stiff as all get out. I own the Nike Kyrie 1's and have barely broken them in after a year of play in these shoes. This shoes upside is the Traction and Responsiveness.

5/10

2. Jordan Superfly 5 : I say this because it is so basic for THE EXPENSIVE PRICE!!!!!!! It is not very comfortable for the price of $140. Traction is not good on dusty courts.

3/10



3. Nike HyperDunk 15 : The shoe is Average. The Material and Performance is basic compared to what is out there. But, the Traction is amazing.\\

Grip/Traction: The Grip of the shoe was Good on Court for drills and real games situations.

Responsiveness: This Shoe was very light and Responsive on court

Weight: Very Light.

Cons
