The Adizero Select 3.0 is a big improvement over the 2.0. Much better traction, plush Lightstrike cushioning, improved lockdown, and very lightweight. A solid guard shoe from Adidas and a significant turnaround over the previous version.

I was positively surprised by the Adidas Adizero Select 3.0. Traction and weight are standout features. Cushioning is improved, but not for bigger players. Lightweight, breathable, and supportive, it's a great value for indoor and moderate outdoor play.

Lightweight and low to the ground, the Adizero Select 3.0 stands out for its Lightstrike cushioning and solid support. Traction is consistent. The narrow, short-tongue fit is my main gripe.

At $110, this is a good, lightweight shoe with very comfortable Lightstrike cushioning. Traction is excellent on clean courts but inconsistent on dusty courts. Because of that, I wouldn't carry it often, but it's nice for clean-court play.

I liked the lightweight upper, cushioning, and aesthetics of the Adidas Adizero Select 3.0. However, the traction and durability were disappointing. Works for guards on very clean courts, but bigger players should probably avoid it.

Traction is much improved. The full-on herringbone pattern grips consistently. Squeak comes and goes. You still need to wipe on dusty courts, but performance is very solid.

Traction is great on clean courts with a super hard bite. On dusty courts, it picks up dust and becomes inconsistent. I slid to a stop a bit.

Traction has a solid bite on clean courts, but it picks up dust extremely quickly. A light wipe helps, but even slightly dusty courts kill the grip.

The cushioning is improved over last year, but still not great. There's some compression and enough heel protection for guards, but bigger players will want more impact protection.
