It will give you a crazy grip on sudden stops. So, I believe the budget model signature sneaker has great traction. 2. Cushion: The rubber outsole is very durable. It grips perfectly on the outdoor basketball courts. Moreover, the outsole and upper material are durable for rough surfaces. It’s 100% a perfect outdoor basketball shoe. 8. Breathability/Ventilation: As I mentioned earlier, the step in comfort is otherworldly. It used a full-length Adidas Bounce cushioning. Which is known for being balanced and protective for the foot joints. Despite the twist-resistant base, the shoe still managed to have a lot of linear flexibility. Compared to the average basketball shoe that needs 40.9N of force to bend at 90 degrees, this shoe is much more flexible. It needs only 29.9N to bend at the same angle.

Among all the Adidas basketball shoes that we used in our games, it’s the Harden Vol. 7 that left the most lasting mark. Its amazing performance was due to several factors including but definitely not limited to (1) a close-to-the-ground setup, (2) amazing impact protection, and (3) impressive structural flexibility. If we look at the sole closely, it has 3 different pivot discs. This means that we can pivot easily with them right before or after passing. This comes in really handy for pivots, as many of their moves posting up rely on this kind of turning motion.

It’s a budget-performance shoe. Which has nothing breathtaking and attention-grabbing to its design and construction. Overall, it’s better than many hyped sneakers out there. 7. Outdoor/Durability: Using a caliper, we learned that the midsole platform is 119.0 mm wide at the forefoot while it’s 99.1 mm wide at the heel. These numbers add 5.7 mm and 8 mm to the average. The Dame 8 is really serious when it comes to stability. I like the cushioning because it has every element that counts on the basketball court. 3. Material:

The Adidas Dame 8 felt so comfortable that moment we stepped into it. The underfoot felt soft and was a total angel. This shoe also delivered so much stability that it greatly boosted our confidence. The shoe also delivered a solid protection against rollovers. These benefits erased all doubts that this is indeed the best shoe for comfort that Adidas has to offer.It was also quite easy to move as the Harden Vol. 7 truly felt flexible. Our lab assessments only confirmed our initial observations. We specifically found that this shoe only needed 34.6N of force to bend at 90 degrees. The typical basketball shoe would need 40.9N.
