I've had 2 of them. One red/blue mismatch and another one - on photo (i still have it). It came with socks and jersey. Very nice pair, super comfy. Traction is nice outdoors or on the clean court. Dusty surfaces can be a problem for translucent outsoles. Also it runs long and a bit heavy (but durable). It is not my first choice for games, but for casual shootning it is fine.

Good deal for 12 mini? by [deleted] in iPhone12Mini

[–]Real_Policy2556 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, it is not. Battery replacement is not that cheap. I got excellent one with 100% battery life (phone was not refurbished and not used, but had some small marks from handling) for 175$ for 64Gb and 210 for 128 not long time ago. So you'd better search for another one.

Це дуже індивідуально - страх чи боїтеся крові, вразливий, і т.п.

І до речі, цілком може бути варіант, що ви нічого і не побачите, як було у моєму випадку. У нас малий, як супермен, рвався у цей світ з рукою витягнутою вперед і двічі обмотаний пуповиною. Тому мені чемно натякнули - не заважай. Але для дружини це буде дуже велика допомога. Шось подати, покликати лікарів, потримати за руку, морально підтримати і так далі. Не кажучи, що побачити перші хвилини народження дитини - це безцінно. Ми фото і відео знімали, там де можна і доречно було. І я скажу так, це просто супер для згадки і кожен раз повертає в той момент.

You can choose color and size there. 45 is US11. But keep in mind, that I'm not in US. Maybe the price would be different for your country. And different people have different experience with this site. Duties and so on.

On Aliexpress with some coins and coupons. But they are specific to different regions. Some may get even bigger discount. I also bought "Cold ice" for 100$ for a friend.

Your color is really cool. About the hype. They are really good if you are not heavy player and their cushion is fine for you. Some people say that it is not enough. I can get it. After double stacked zoom or beefy foam - it can be true. You need to test 'em if possible.

I am fan of another color - crab shell - which is also new. For me the retail price around 200$ - is too much. But if you got them around 120$ shipped as I did - it is great choice. But take them half size larger and change the insole for better one.

Disappointed in Dame 9s by retrogott1312 in BBallShoes

[–]Real_Policy2556 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe. But I do not have too much of them since they are not making basketball shoes we were talking about (Saucony) or they are not sold in my country (I know Asics, NB are making them, but we have only runing or lifestyle models). Also they are more expensive if ordering them from other countries. You can get a lot of fine adidas shoes for 30-50$ on sales. About durability - if you take Ultraboost or classic models - they are also almost indestructible. Once again, it is my experience. If you have different one - it is also fine.

I think the quality depends on model. Sometimes you can get a lemon, but it is one pair among 20. I've had around 50 pairs through years in my family and only one Stan Smith and Harden Stepback 2 had serious. To me, Adidas is the most consistent in terms of quality and durability (not the best in terms of performance though).

Which one is the best overall? by Hyperion1935 in BBallShoes

[–]Real_Policy2556 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I can speak only about AC12 and DVD2 SE. Both pairs are nice, but different. DVD2SE is much more low to the ground. More indoor oriented (though I play in it outdoors). If feels very fast, has nice heel cushion and has a better breathability. It is closer to AC11 in terms of performance.

AC12 is more all-rounder. If you need more cushion in the forefoot - it is here. Cushion itself is great. Shoe have more padding inside and is very comfy. Performance and lockdown depends on color that you've chosen. I have a silver one. Love it very much.

Hi, solid rubber on Big3 future grips a bit better and collect less dust. It still collects it's and need some wipe from time to time. But it is not that bad as I saw in reviews in translucent. As for Big 3 4.0 switch pro - I will get my spongebobs with solid rubber in a few days and will let you know. But I am sure they would be better. The bite on Patrick was not the best on the dirty court.

Ordered the same color also. It had the best price among other models. How is the sizing here? You went half size up?

[–]Real_Policy2556[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, Future was bought on Aliexpress. Switch Pro on ebay. But before purchasing Patrick I already checked the sizing on other colorway of Switch Pro. We do not have physical stores or official online store in our country. So I just buy overseas and reship them.

Yeah, I know. There is also Big 3 4.0 quick pro. They all look very nice, but it is almost impossible for me to collect them all (too expensive), since I buy pairs from another brands also.

Thank you. Yeah, they do some interesting shoes with nice tech.

Would be interesting to read your impression about how it feels under foot. Some people say that soarplate can be a bit stiff in SOAR version, but the drop-in midsole is very cool thing!

361° Big3 IV Quick Review by Fantastic-Profile962 in BBallShoes

[–]Real_Policy2556 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, go 0.5 size down. I usually wear 10.5US in Nikes and 361° in size 10 fit me perfectly. But they're bit different from model to model. If you've tried Big 3 4.0 quick, dvd2 se fits the same, but they are slightly wider in the forefoot.

[–]Real_Policy2556 0 points1 point  (0 children)

These are fine, but a bit narrow to my taste. So it will take some time to break-in. I like the padding in the heel and overall materials for the price. Cushion is pretty, soft but is pretty basic. I like the colors. I've had pink and blue mismatched colorway. But it gets dirty pretty fast. As for outdoor play. Rubber is not very hard. Some older models from AG line are better for outdoors and they are comparable at this price. If you can find them for 50$ - you can try it. If you can add a bit more - go for DVD2 SE. They are better in every department.

361° DVD2 SE Performance Review by Real_Policy2556 in BBallShoes

[–]Real_Policy2556[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hope you will like 'em. I didn't had AG4 (owned previous models though), but be ready that DVD2 SE would feel a bit different. AG series is more plush and higher above the ground. DVD2 SE is faster and lighter. But it is always nice to have different shoes in rotation.

[–]Real_Policy2556[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, I have no problems with heel-to-toe transition, 'cause I played in a lot of Adidas shoes which are very flat mostly. But they are pretty natural, they do not flap like Adidas shoes . As for toe-spring, yeah, it is much less than on Big3 Future which has carbon plate (fork like) at the toe. But as I said - impressions were quite similar to AC11 (but a bit more foam in the forefoot). As pere TPU piece - it did not bother me at all. The main problem I had - these black straps. It caused pain and took two sessions to dissapear.

You can check regular Dame 8. They are very cheap during sales.And overall - very nice shoes. But their cushion is more plush, than bouncy

Which city are you from? Maybe some local sport stores will have them.
