Nike A'One Review
Pros:
Comfortable midsole cushioning
Consistent traction performance
Cons:
Rigid, non-breathable materials
Fit requires a long break-in time
Performance of the Nike A'One:
A'ja Wilson's debut signature shoe makes a solid impression as a reliable performance shoe.
The traction performance is reliable. Reviewers report feeling confident throughout all movements.
Nike uses Cushlon 3.0 in the midsole. It feels plush and comfortable, but not very explosive.
The materials are not premium. They take a long time to break in, and the breathability could be better. The upper also feels firm.
Support is not an issue. The heel counter keeps the back of your foot locked in.
Reviewers report that the fit is difficult to deal with. The forefoot feels tight and narrow, and it takes a while to break in, similar to the materials.
The Nike A'One is a decent performer, thanks to its two best features, traction and support.
