I like the rubber compound on this year's Zion model.

The traction performs well on clean floors but struggles on dirty floors. I enjoyed my time on cleaner courts.

You need to break in the traction for a good performance. It feels nice but is not top-tier.

Traction feels consistent. I also like the stopping power. They do pick up dust but it's easy to wipe.

The traction performance is a lot better this year. It needs a break-in period, but it grips well afterward.

I can only describe the traction as okay. It's decent and stops well, but it's nothing spectacular.

The traction is meh. It picks up a lot of dust, and the performance is inconsistent.

The cushioning is a huge improvement. The Cushlon 3.0 provides plenty of impact protection and feels bouncy and springy.

The drop-in midsole is thin but feels plush and comfortable. I also like the full-length Zoom under the drop-in setup.

There's a lot of compression under the heel. The cushioning is one of my favourite features.

The cushioning feels incredibly responsive.

Cushioning is the standout feature and my favourite part of the shoe. The full-length Zoom Strobel unit is bouncy, and the drop-in midsole has plenty of step-in comfort.

The cushioning is comfortable and bouncy. You get a lot of cushion but it's too high off the ground for me.

The drop-in midsole feels sad. It's thin without much bounce back. Most of the bounce comes from the Zoom strobel board.

The upper feels supportive and contains my foot well during lateral movements.

You're not getting anything premium. The materials are nothing special but they do feel supportive.

The materials are stiff and don't get much softer with play. It feels durable and sturdy though.

A lot of the upper is basic but beefy. The breathability is impressive.

The material starts stiff, but I like the padding. It becomes more comfortable over time.

Most of the materials are textiles, and it feels stiff and rigid. Overall, the usage is fine. It gets the job done.

The materials don't make sense to me. It's not soft or conforming, and I lacked breathability.

I like how supportive the upper feels.

This is a very supportive basketball shoe.

The upper is very supportive, and the drop-in midsole helps with containment. I did experience some minor heel slippage.

I can feel slippage no matter how much I crank down the laces.

The support is a downer for me. I dislike the lack of a shank plate and had a lot of heel slippage.

I had some issues with the support, mainly around the heel. My heel slid up and down, and it didn't get better.

The support feels decent and playable.

The fit caters more towards narrower feet. It feels contained but is not accommodating.

The midfoot is more accommodating this year, but the toe area slants inwards. It takes time to break in the fit.

The fit feels decent when you go with your proper size. The toe box is also snug.

The upper is fairly low volume. You also lose space and length because of the drop-in midsole.

The fit is not accommodating for my wide feet, but it could be a solid option for players with narrow feet.

The fit is slightly more forgiving than the Zion 3. It's close to being a regular fit.

The fit feels standard and more accommodating.

I recommend staying indoors.

The outsole grooves are too shallow for outdoor use.

Durability is not the best because of the thinner grooves.

I don't think this pair is good for outdoor courts.

The outsole does not feel durable enough for outdoor use.

The durability for outdoors is fine.

The width is still narrow. Avoid this shoe if you have a wide foot.

Go up half a size if you have a wide foot.

The width is very narrow.

2E feet can go up half a size for a performance fit or up a full size for a roomier fit.

I would not recommend the Zion 4 for people with wide feet.

Wider feet might need to go up half a size. It's a narrow shoe.

This pair is wider than the Zion 3.

Narrow and regular feet can go true to size.

I went true to size.

I went up half a size.

Narrow and medium feet can go true to size. Medium-footers can also consider going up half a size for extra room.

I went true to size. Narrow and medium feet can go true to size. Everything else felt fine.

Go true to size.
