The overall rating has been intentionally lowered to give an average score. Overall, the shoe is stable and good for basketball, but it annoys me that I have to keep changing laces due to imperfect design. This is indeed an Adidas problem. This is my second pair of Adidas shoes that the laces stopped working after a few weeks. The main reason is that the lace holders are too narrow, they cut into the laces and after a few weeks the laces fall apart. In the case of the latter, not only did the tip fail, but the holes holding the tip were also torn. Then the shoes become unusable. I will write a separate review for that.
