Cushioning set up???? Anyone? Zoom? Lunarlon?
Probably full length phylon midsole, lunarlon insert, or heel/forfoot zoom. That’s what nike’s been doing with shoes like this.
Doesn’t the forefoot look a little bit thin to fit a forefoot zoom unit? Or am I saying something silly?
Drop-in midsole; most likely lunarlon.
Might be a little too soft.
its a cross fit shoe – most cross fit gyms / activities are atop cushion floors, rubber compounds etc so cushion in those specific shoes are minimal unless you need that hard wedge for power lifting and sometimes those guys just wear chuck taylor’s so they dont teater over. not sure why this shoe is even up here unless weartesters transitions to all things foot wear. playing hoops in these types of shoes are a recipe or disaster same with runners – no lateral support.
You do know that Weartesters does other shoes for sports other than Basketball? When the name was changed to Weartesters, they expanded into doing other sport shoes. They’re not putting them up here as a suggestion for playing Basketball in them.
Thanks Sherlock, No one will rock these kix off court either, and yes I know this. i been following home slice since 09 looking for reviews On the J 2009 with the double stack heal zoom and homie showed off the zoom unit embedded in the insoles. Been a fan ever since
