Category Performance Ratings
6.3
Traction
Nodule traction pattern with very soft rubber. Good grip on clean indoor courts but dust-sensitive and can slip on hard cuts.
10.0
Cushion
Full-length Zoom Strobel underfoot. Low-to-ground, bouncy and responsive with strong court feel and impact protection.
8.3
Materials
Flyknit upper with thin construction. Soft and conforming after break-in but feels flimsy and lacks long-term support.
7.0
Support
Flyknit midfoot lockdown and internal structure provide decent stability for many. Some heel slippage and weak lateral containment reported.
7.0
Fit
Runs narrow and snug initially and stretches with wear. FlyEase aids entry but the heel mechanism can irritate the Achilles.
0%
Outdoor
Very soft rubber compound. Likely to wear quickly outdoors and not recommended for rough courts.
small
large
Sizing
Generally true to size for narrow and regular feet. Wide-footed players should consider a half size up.
narrow
wide
Width
Fits narrow to regular best. Very narrow out of the box but stretches; wide feet may feel cramped.

The cushioning and materials are great, but traction and fit were problematic for me. Overall, I couldn't enjoy playing in these shoes because they are just too narrow for my feet.

These are nice shoes for casual wear, but don't wear these on-court!

The nodule traction pattern, made from super-soft rubber, works well on clean courts and picks up minimal dust on dirty courts. On really hard cuts you will slide out sometimes.

The traction is consistent, but not great. The traction pattern doesn't really give you hard stops, instead, you will be sliding to a stop most of the time.

I am sooo disappointed in the traction, I couldn't get any grip at all!

The cushioning is my favorite part of this shoe. The Zoom Strobel board is very similar to the KD12 and feels very comfortable, bouncy, and provides great court feel.

The full-length Zoom Strobel feels extremely nice. It's low-to-the-ground, bouncy, and probably my favorite cushioning setup right now.

The Flyknit upper is super comfortable but just not supportive at all for basketball.

The upper materials are really supportive and provide a lot of lockdown in the midfoot. There is a little bit of heel slippage, especially while the shoes are not yet broken-in.

There was some minor heel slippage on my right foot. Other than that, the support was just fine.

I didn't feel supported at all in the Zoom UNVRS. On lateral cuts, I completely slid off the footbed.

The FlyEase mechanism in the heel really dug-in to my Achilles which was very painful and the fit was too narrow for my slightly wide feet.
