Im gonna go tomorrow and see if anywhere around me has them but how does the traction compare to the hyperdunks? Traction is one of the most important things to me in a shoe. I thought the hyperdunks were good the the pattern on these dosent look like they would be great.

Played in mine today. Took about 5-10 to break them in. After that they were butter. Fit true to size. Great traction. Zoom feels nice - spring but not too soft. Very light. Good support with the straps loose. Still on the fence whether I'm going to cut off the straps. Man, I'm gonna have to buy the white/blues when they come out.

Actually Hyperdunk's traction is really bad IMHO. The biggest downside apart from the Lunar-crap cushioning.

Soldier 3 has a pretty good grip... I've played on both clean and dusty floors and there was no slipping involved. So far it's really hard to point a major flaw in this design... loving 'em more each time!!

sorry greg...

T, no need to apologize... durability is something that we need to find out on our own and it does take time. At this point I am very satisfied playing ball in ZS3s, but more tests are needed... that's for sure.

How do these compare to the Lebron VIs?

what lebron VI?

My Recent Posts · 04/20/09

I played in an ekin tournament yesterday and we all got free pairs of these...they're very light and all but for the seasoned hooper it will be a little bit of a problem with wider feet...and I went a half size up as I usually do with balling sneakers. They feel good though

My Recent Posts · 04/22/09

im pretty excited to play in these tonight.. spring league is just about to start, and i'll be playing in these... hopfully they perform good, if they do, i might have to pick up more copies...

My Recent Posts · 04/22/09

they are suuuper light, close to the kobes and feel nice and cushy, i like these, maybe a bit more than kobes, bc of the higher cut. ill play in them when i get a second pair. i got the POP last week.

glad to see people are liking these for balling, i cant wait to lace them up. also looking forward to the flight clubs (waiting for eastbay to ship)

played in mine last night for about three hours total (one in a very clean gym, and the other in a very dirty gym)

Fit: i think the toebox is a little bit roomy, but the rest of the shoe is snugged and very comfortable, especially with the straps holding your foot down.

Weight: ive held both the hyperdunks and these shoes in my hands, and for some reason, the hyperdunks still feel a little lighter. these shoes feel like the same weight as the 2k8's, very light shoes overall.

Cushion: Very nice cushion, infact probably one of my fav things about the shoe, very similar feel to AZK1 (altho the AZK1 i feel is a bit more soft) its has plenty of cushion but still has has a good responsive feeling

Traction: very very good!! no slippage at all

Overall, these shoes are excellent!!!

(note: i didn't have any issues with the shoe straps facing on the inside of the shoes, they never came undone)

These will be at outlet and nordstrom racks in about 5-6 months for under $50.

I played a couple more times in my pair this week for about 4-5 hrs total. Shoes are still great. I really like the light weight and cushioning (zoom!). Toebox is a little stiff at first but gets better quickly. Very good traction on clean and dusty floors. I think the soldier 3s are better than the Kobe IVs and Hyperdunks (I see tons of people playing in these). These are my tied with the Jordan XIX SEs as my second favorite pair of hoops shoes right now. I will be getting the white/blues when they come out.

Great feedback NT. I needed these info. I'm planning to cop the white toe's (patent). I'm just worried of the yellowing on them.

Again thanks!!!

how do the soldier 3s compare to 20-5-5 or bb 1/2 in terms of performance, traction, cushioning and ankle support? thanks.

20.5.5 > Soldier 3's because the 20.5.5 cushioning, ankle support and ventilation is better IMHO. The durability of the 3's is the real question. I've been balling in my POP for a little while and they are still like new, but my 20.5.5 are tanks!

My Recent Posts · 05/25/09

Durability is a good question for me too, but all in all....... they feel get and super light but yet very supportive.

My Recent Posts · 05/27/09

I like them a lot
