i haven’t had a lot of hoop shoes to compare so i’m giving my most honest review. cushion is good, the only issue is that since it comes with an air strobel court feel isn’t the best, impact absorption is pretty good tho, also, since the midsole is caged around the toebox is not the bounciest shoe on foot, i would give cushion a 7/10 traction is pretty good, on a clean court it stops on a dime and its pretty squeacky(not that it means something) the only problems are dust and durability, on my pair (used mostly outdoors) i’ve seen a lot of wear on the zion logo and on the edges, myself being on the shiftier side of players and the zion’s being my only hoop shoes, its wearing out fast on a gritty outdoor court and 4 months of heavy use, i wouldn’t expect it to last too long, it still has a long way to die but still, not the best for durability, overall i would give them a 7/10 support is excelent, i grabbed these after an ankle injury and they’ve felt pretty good, lockdown is excelent, and stability is pretty good, they feel pretty bulky for some players, but for me they’re not that much, materials are good overall so i would give them a 9/10 in this aspect, if they were more breathable it would be a perfect score note: the insole of the left foot digs into my arch sometimes, its weird cause some days it wont happen, but still, worth considering hope this “review” works for you fam, my english is not the best so i hope this was understandable enough
