Category Performance Ratings
9.0
Traction
Modified herringbone pattern with standard rubber. Very sticky on clean indoor courts, dust-sensitive and requires wiping but reliable for cuts.
7.3
Cushion
Firm foam setup with slight heel compression. Strong court feel in forefoot, limited impact protection and only mild heel bounce.
8.3
Materials
Soft, fairly thick textile upper with a thin tongue. Comfortable and above-average feel for the price, durability adequate for indoor use.
8.0
Support
Internal heel counter, midsole wrap and outrigger. Provides solid lockdown, good lateral containment and stable support for quick cuts.
8.0
Fit
Snug, narrow fit with secure toe box and midfoot. Some report slight extra length so wide players may size up half.
50%
Outdoor
Traction holds up outdoors but high-wear areas show limited durability. Not built for long-term outdoor use.
small
large
Sizing
Mostly true to size for many players. Wide or roomier fit seekers should go up half size; narrow feet may size down half.
narrow
wide
Width
Fits narrow to regular widths best. Midfoot runs tight and wide-foot players may need to go up half size for comfort.

For $70 retail, this is a banger of a shoe. If you are looking for impact protection, this shoe isn't for you. But everything else is really nice. The Nike Precision 5 is a great to shoe to play in and I honestly can't believe that it's only $70.

If the Precision 5 was $120, I'd still recommend it because it performs extremely well. The only thing that's lacking is the cushion - and it's not that bad.

Overall, the Nike Precision 5 has solid traction and a decent cushion. The materials also weren't bad for a budget shoe, but the fit is wonky.

I really loved how it feels and the comfortablity is on another level. It would be my favorite show of all time is it had better grip. The grip started to have trouble grasping on to basketball courts and often made me fall after around 5 months of extreme use.

The shoe can’t really handle dust but the materials feel pretty good for a 70$ shoe and I like that the shoe let’s the feet breath.

The modified herringbone traction really bites on clean courts. On dustier courts, the occasional wipe may be needed, but traction will still be very solid. Overall, extremely nice.

Very solid and consistent bite with only a tiny bit of sliding on hard lateral movements. On dusty courts, frequent wiping was needed, but the bite is still very good with wiping.

The traction is pretty damn good for a low-budget model shoe.

Cushioning is on the firmer side of things but feels good for the price. Provides a good amount of court feel in the forefoot with a tiny bit of bounce in the heel.

There's a little bit of compression in the heel, but the forefoot cushion is pretty stiff. Not the best impact protection, but does provide a decent amount of court feel.

The shoe features a fairly thick textile upper that feels pretty good to the touch. Has a bit of a thin tongue, but gets the job done for performance. Overall, it's really nice for the price point.

No issues with the support. The internal heel counter and very nice heel sculpting help with keeping you locked in. Midsole wraps onto the upper of the shoe, preventing you from slipping off the footbed.

Support and lockdown are good. I had no issues with lateral containment. Foam comes up on sidewall to help with containment and the shoe has a very good outrigger.

Traction should be fine, but durability in high wear areas did not hold up well at all. Should be ok for the price, but don't expect it to last too long.
