      I experienced the same thing on the Jordan 31 low. I was slipping all over the place, planting before pulling up, and even gathering steps going for a lay-up, I would slide on clean court floors. On the other hand I have a friend who's a bit heavier than I am and he always had great traction on the 31's. So I guess the utilization of the traction material and probably other tech features too really depends on the user.

      this preseason lebron is wearing some 16s that was in collab with a premiere shoe store in our country. just hope lebron wont slip on 17s. but its true the player's shoe is better than retail players, im sure the jordan 34 on zion's foot is much more durable than retails or else he'll break them again

    @buzzliteyear11 4 роки тому +7

    First these on court demonstration performance reviews are next level loving them. So much better in that you can show exactly what is that you like or dislike about the shoe. The explanation about the traction was the perfect example of that, so much more insightful to see it than hear about it.
    Never been a fan of Lebron shoes cause they tend to be bulky, heavy and high and I've seen guys wreck their ankles due to that instability, these continue the trend. Although the traction is great I'm not destroying my ankles because of them.

  • @ivanlambuson2864

    • @WearTesters
      @WearTesters  4 роки тому +28

      Shoes aren’t made for big guys or small guys. They’re made with specific attributes that some players want and other players may not. If they were only made for larger players they’d only release them in larger sizes. Shoes are made and sold to everyone. Sometimes they just don’t work out.

    • @Lowkey-yb4nm
      @Lowkey-yb4nm 4 роки тому +11

      WearTesters let me rephrase, shoe archetypes in general (but definitely sigs) are made on a weight-to-size ratio along with other factors like playstyle. Bron is 260 and wears a size 15 and his shoes perform optimally for him(possibly due to them being custom). Imo in order to get the best results the shoes should be put in proportionate circumstances I.e. size 10, 175lbs (idk how much u.weigh). Hopefully that makes more sense .

    • @WearTesters
      @WearTesters  4 роки тому +5

      @@Lowkey-yb4nm That is 100% inaccurate and just marketing for these signature shoes. We've had many conversations with designers and design teams about the footwear they create and it has nothing to do with anything you mentioned. The marketing department deserves a raise for tricking you, and many others, into thinking that is factual information when it is not.

    • @Lowkey-yb4nm
      @Lowkey-yb4nm 4 роки тому +12

      WearTesters think abt this more practically, designers will get on television and say “This shoe is for everyone” and on another commercial say “This shoe was engineered to fit all facets of LeBrons game to the highest degree”. Both of these statements could be true, but one more so than the other. Can anyone play in them? Yes, but the shoe will pretty much always serve the signature players archetype best. Think back to the past few years of sigs, brons (designed for a high flying heavy body like LeBron)have always had heaps of cushion under foot with thick uppers, Kobe’s(serving a more low profile player)have minimal cushion with thin pliable uppers. LeBron couldn’t play in a Kobe for extended periods of time because of the lack of cushion and impact protection etc. Anyone can play in any shoe but they’ll for the most part serve certain archetypes better than others depending on the shoe.
      And in my previous comment forgive the weird terminology but basically all I was saying was “Kobe’s perform better on Kobe than they would on a 7 foot 300 pound center”.

    These look great to walk around in, especially the red carpet release. Wouldn’t play in them tho if the traction is crap, and that should be a dealbreaker for many who hoop. Better off playing in Blazers or AJ1 (both have beat traction ever), or hell even some AF1.

    The traction concerns are real. I bought a pair for my 15 year old(6' 180lbs size 13) son today. He played a game in them 2 hours later and was sliding all over. He has practices all week so I am hoping they will wear and get better. They are comfortable for him, but I didnt spend $200+ for them to look good.
    His 15s were great for him right out of the gate last year. The 16s were ok, but this is the first time I have witnessed him unable to stop without slipping. It threw off his game.

    I got these because of lower back pain and cushion here is amazing. Anyway, the traction is terrible especially if you are a light person like I am. It is doable but I would not recommend these if you have explosive movements and if you like to shift fast. If I could combine the cushion and structure of these shoes with the traction of LeBron Soldier 12 (my previous shoes) these would be godlike.

    Nightwing's LeBron 17 traction is very different with one that I have. I also have the same color and type of outsole, mine is James Gang colorway.

    Hoop outside first than hoop indoors the traction will be better like the 15 LeBrons

    I have exact same issue with the currency version, that has semi-translucent outsole,
    Imo its not the seperate pods that cause the issue, because my pairs only experiences the issue on dusty court
    I think its the pattern of the outsole.
    The pattern in the 17 dont let the air-pressure escape when you stop, because the closed-angled shapes dont provide the air to exist the outsole,
    If you look at the 16s pattern, the “waves” does its jobs so well, because it doesnt trap the air once you squeak in motion,
    So basically whenever you stop in the 17s there is a slight pressure going upward on your shoes, and it may lift your shoes upward, hence the shoes stop biting on the surface of the floor, and that let the lateral motion continue hence you’re gonna side,
    That is the downside of the 17s pattern,
    But i think the reason lebron chose this pattern is because , he puts the priority on acceleration from dead point, in other word, he’d be able to accelerate from a standing still faster with the 17s outsole pattern, because essentially the contact surface’s area is bigger than the 16s. The 17s dead friction can withstand the starting acceleration forces much better so it wont slip upon the start of his run.
    17s is a great shoes imo, because if you learn to score efficiently with minimal extreme change of paces in lateral movements, you’ll do your body a favour of reserving its legacy in a long run.

    I gave the 17s about 5 months on and off for over an hour each time and my legs always went numb wearing them. Maybe it's just too cushioned for me. I had to keep going back to the 34 and the Why Not 3s to get feeling back in my legs.
