First Opinion: Thank god the laceless concept is no more. With the 34th model of the Air Jordan line, the Jordan 34 went back to the traditional laces which to me was a plus. The shoe did become more simplistic compared to the previous models, but the tech is still there. Thrown onto the Jordan…
Nike Zoom BB NXT Performance Review
First Opinion: Out of nowhere, without any warning, a new Nike basketball model is born: The Nike Zoom BB NXT. At first glance it does not look like much, just a simple and sleek shoe that looks quite elevated. The way the shoe is structured reminds me of those Adidas EQT Basketball models which are…
Adidas D.O.N Issue 2 Performance Review
First Opinion: Once again, we get a wacky shoe with bright colourways. The Adidas D.O.N line seem to always come out with bombastic stuff, whether it’s colourways, boxes or the shoe itself. Design wise, the Adidas D.O.N Issue 2 seems quite different from the Adidas D.O.N Issue 1 but concept is the same. Materials seems…
Nike Zoom Freak 2 Performance Review
First Opinion: Well… the Reverse Swoosh that I have grown to like is now gone, and we are back to the normal iteration of the Nike Logo. The Nike Zoom Freak 2 has a rather different concept compared to its predecessor with a more traditional midsole and the shoe structure looking even sleeker than before….
Nike KD 13 Performance Review
First Opinion: Wow… Kevin Durant has reached his 13th Signature shoe already? When starting out BBallEquips we were at the Nike KD 6 or 7 and look how far this signature line has transformed. That said, many of the BBallEquips Crew felt that the recent KD Signature models (KD 12 and 13) aren’t really cutting…
Jordan Why Not Zer0.3 Performance Review
First Opinion: At first glance, you already know this is part of Russell Westbrook’s signature line. The Jordan Why Not Zer0.2 looked like it was pieced together with parts of different shoes and the Jordan Why Not Zer0.3 didn’t fall too far from the tree. That said the shoe structure does seem a little bulkier…
Nike Kyrie 6 Performance Review
First Opinion: It seemed like just yesterday that we had Kyrie Irving release his first signature shoe and now the Kyrie is at his 6th shoe already. That’s not even including his Kyrie FlyTrap and Kyrie Low lines. That said, the Nike Kyrie 6 just doesn’t really turn heads if I were to compare to…
Nike PG 4 Performance Review
First Opinion: At first glance the Nike PG 4 was quite a head turner. Nike and Paul George brought back the shroud in this instalment of the Nike PG line and honestly, I’m not really that impressed right now. The PG 4 is very different from all versions of PG and not only that, it…
Adidas D Rose 10 Performance Review
First Opinion: I don’t know how I would express the joy I felt when I first saw the leak images of the Adidas D Rose 10 online. It is such a major throwback to the Adidas D Rose 1.5-2.5 times which was actually the around the time I got into basketball. Although the materials does…
Adidas Dame 6 Performance Review
First Opinion: For once, there seems to be some continuity in design for the Adidas Dame signature line. From a first glance, the Dame 5 does look like an improved version of the Dame 4. Adidas has been rolling out some serious heat in recent years, strong performers that suite many different styles of play….
Under Armour Curry 7 Performance Review
First Opinion: Wow, so this is the Under Armour Curry 7? That’s a little underwhelming… At first glance the design just looks more like a team model than a signature model. The materials are rather lacklustre compared to the UA Curry 6 but I would think that it would require less break-in time compared to…
Adidas D.O.N Issue 1 Performance Review
First Opinion: It’s hard that you find a player get a signature in just his second year in the NBA, but that’s just what Donovan Mitchell did. Coming off a year that saw him come in 2nd place in Rookie of the Year voting, he came into his second season strong, and so did his…
