I have owned or played many of the latest top basketball shoes from AJ36, Kyrie 7, Curry8, Puma All Pro, Lebron 18 etc. And I really like these. Advantages: 1. Pull, pull, pull! It's tacky, has a slot, and feels sturdy enough for outdoor play. 2. Pillow: Feels soft and has decent compression. Enough compression for a young player or an older player with healthy knees. Blocking: If you sit well and tie your shoes tight, you should be able to walk well. looks like a nice modern slim BB shoe…
