Nike Zoom Rize Review
Pros:
Super bouncy Zoom cushioning
Very well-fitting shoe
Cons:
Slight lateral support issues in the forefoot
Performance of the Nike Zoom Rize:
The Nike Zoom Rize is a new medium-priced Team model and a takedown version of the more expensive Nike AlphaDunk.
The traction works very well on clean courts, but on dusty courts, you will need to wipe from time to time.
The huge 10mm Nike Zoom unit in the forefoot is super bouncy and comfortable but doesn't give you a ton of court feel.
The materials start off a little stiff, but they provide a lot of lockdown and loosen up quicky.
The support is great in the heel and midfoot but multiple reviewers mentioned slight issues on quick lateral cuts.
Overall, the Nike Zoom Rize is a very versatile basketball shoe that performs well in all categories.

Overall, the Nike Zoom Rize is a great performer that is definitely worth the price. You get a very nice cushion setup, amazing traction, and solid support.

I would highly recommend the Nike Zoom Rize. I really loved the traction and especially the cushioning - this is the best implementation of Zoom and Phylon ever!

I really enjoyed playing in the Nike Zoom Rize because of the good traction and amazing cushioning. This shoe will work very well for big guys, but for my style of play, the court feel could have been a little better and the shoe was a little too bulky.

The traction surprised me by performing much better than anticipated. It was gripping well on dirtier courts.

There is a Zoom unit in the forefoot area that is encased in an injected Phylon carrier. The shoe becomes bouncier over time as the cushion breaks in. As always Zoom provides plenty of impact protection.

The giant Nike Zoom unit in the forefoot is super bouncy but you do lose a little bit of court feel.

The forefoot Zoom unit reminds me of the Lebron 16 - super bouncy but court feel is not great. The foam in the heel feels great and the heel-to-toe transition is good too.

The upper is very supportive from the forefoot all the way back to the ankle area. The lateral outrigger and wide base of the outsole also do a great job of providing stability.

No heel slippage, great lockdown, but I experienced slight movements on the footbed on super hard cuts.

Even though I didn't have the XDR outsole, it is still a thick rubber outsole. It should be good for outdoors.

Deep grooves and hard rubber - outdoor use should be adequate.
