Pros Absolutely none Cons Horrible fit, dangerous midsole flexing, chafing of skin near tongue, subpar traction, minimal ankle support The Bottom Line If you want a trip to the doctor for plantar fasciitis, this is for you. If you want a high-performance basketball shoe, look somewhere else. Full Review You'd think that a shoe that is cut relatively high, should probably serve some capacity in ankle support. But the lining that is so smooth, is too thin to provide ample support and thus, your ankle doesn't feel nearly protected enough. I was scared to make tough cuts for fear I'd experience a horrible sprain. Plus, no internal anti-inversion device is placed that would have helped the support immensely. Ok, so, this is not a haterade drink poured on Reebok, but rather a cry out for help that they improve their basketball shoes. Instead of signing rappers like 50 Cent and Jay-Z to have a signature sneaker, why don't they use that money to do some major research into their basketball program? Some consumers want performance, not just looks. Just because it says "AI" on it, doesn't mean it's worth a superstar endorsement. Ok, that's probably enough of my ranting. But in a shoe this poor, it's utterly ridiculous how a large manufacturer like Reebok can put out this bad of a shoe to the masses. I would give this absolutely no stars if I could, but since I can't, one is gonna have to do. DO NOT BUY THIS SHOE! Is that clear enough? | |
