Cons

Category Performance Ratings
9.7
Traction
Aggressive multidirectional pattern with sticky rubber. Excellent grip on clean and dusty courts and needs very little wiping.
8.8
Cushion
Micro G foam tuned slightly firmer than prior Spawns. Delivers balanced court feel, good impact protection, and reliable rebound.
8.3
Materials
Foam-backed engineered mesh with layered construction. Comfortable and plush on-foot but not premium in-hand and breaks in quickly.
8.7
Support
Wide forefoot base with midfoot shank and lateral wing tied into the lacing system. Provides secure lockdown and stable lateral support.
7.7
Fit
Generally true to size with some choosing a half size down. Heel can run narrow and toe may feel slightly roomy but lockdown is secure.
0%
Outdoor
Very soft, pliable outsole rubber that frays and wears quickly outdoors. Not recommended for outdoor play as traction pattern degrades fast.
small
large
Sizing
Runs true to size for most reviewers and some prefer going half a size down. Check fit if you have unusual width.
narrow
wide
Width
Best for narrow to regular widths. Some users report dead space in the forefoot and a narrow heel that may bother wide feet.

This is a solid, solid performer, especially at the price of $110. The traction is excellent, the cushioning is soft, and the materials are pretty nice and comfortable.

For $110 you really can't go wrong with the Anatomix Spawn Low. It doesn't have the big-name brand attached, and the looks might not be amazing, but the performance is top notch!

Even though this shoe has very little in common with its predecessors, it performs very well all around with excellent traction and a pretty good fit if you ignore the bubbles in the forefoot. I prefer these over the Curry 6 when it comes to performance.

I personally really liked these shoes. They gripped incredibly, and i quite literally never slipped. The cushion is nice and plush, yet reactive which is great for guards who want comfy cushion. The issue is with the way the upper is built. The materials bunch up in the forefoot and cause a pinching sensation that isn’t the nicest but wearing thick socks improved it. All in all, great shoes for indoor players who rarely go on outdoor courts.

The MicroG cushioning provides a lot of court feel in the forefoot and impact protection in the heel. It also doesn't bottom out which makes it very durable.
