Category Performance Ratings
6.0
Traction
Same traction pattern as Mamba Focus with standard rubber. Poor grip on hard lateral cuts and dusty floors.
6.5
Cushion
Stiff Phylon midsole with a small forefoot Zoom unit. Very firm ride with minimal impact protection and strong court feel.
7.5
Materials
Textile upper with mesh tongue and minimal padding. Basic materials conform and breathe but feel budget and not premium.
8.0
Support
Sharp outrigger and solid lockdown. Provides good lateral containment and stability for quick direction changes.
7.0
Fit
Runs long and very narrow. Tight forefoot and thin padding can cause numbness and discomfort.
50%
Outdoor
Rubber pattern frays on outdoor courts and shows limited durability. Traction and sole life degrade with rough use.
small
large
Sizing
Runs a little long. Consider a half size down if between sizes or for a snug fit.
narrow
wide
Width
Very narrow fit best for narrow feet. Wide footers will feel constricted and should seek other models.

Don't get it! My feet hurt a lot because of the super minimal cushioning. The traction isn't good, the materials are meh and you can get much better shoes - even at a budget price of $100.

I didn't get to play in these and I do like the design and the colorways, but for only $10 more you can get the PG4 with a much better cushioning and more premium materials.

Similar to the Mamba Focus, this shoe is not premium in any way, but is still not a bad shoe. I did think these were a slight downgrade from the Focus. The shoe felt overall less flexible in the cushioning and upper. The TPU pull tab was a neat edition. Lockdown is still good, and they kept the forefoot outrigger from the Focus. Similarly, they stuck with the gum stick forefoot zoom unit. Still surprising to me how easy it is to get vertical in these. Replacing the stock insole goes a long way.

The traction of the snake scales did not hold up on a dusty court, nor did they really hold up on a clean court.
The cushion was as close to standing on a wooden plank for a sole as you could get and the shoe did not last long.
The fit was true to size although the shoe did feel very narrow, so i would recommend going up a half to a full size.
All in all, not a hoop shoe anymore and a very poor performer.

On an outdoor court, the traction wasn't good on really hard lateral cuts. The pattern is the same as on the Mamba Focus, which had horrendous traction on my indoor court.

The cushion is absolutely horrendous. The very stiff Phylon doesn't provide any impact protection at all. The only good thing is that you get a lot of court feel.

The Phylon cushioning doesn't feel great underfoot and I really don't like the tiny Nike Zoom rectangle in the forefoot.

The textile upper material conforms to your feet very well and offers a lot of support. The tongue is made of a well-ventilated Mesh but the padding is very minimal. For $100, you can't complain about the materials, but they are not super nice.

No issues with the support and lockdown. Lateral containment and stability are good thanks to the sharp outrigger.

The materials are thin and minimally padded. The fit is super narrow and my feet fell asleep multiple times.

The rubber doesn't seem to be super durable as some of the pattern is fraying off. But that's pretty much normal wear and tear you experience on outdoor courts.
