Step into Style: The Best Gatsby Theme Shoes for 2025

"When lifting my foot, it feels a bit tight across the top of the foot, but once I step down, it's not as noticeable. I have flat feet and wide feet, so I'll test it during an evening basketball game and update my review based on the experience. PS: After playing, it performed really well. The support and torsional stability are good. The heel is softer and more bouncy than the forefoot, which is probably why so many people wear Kobe shoes. The only downside is that you can't use custom insoles, but otherwise, it's great. PS2: I forgot about the tightness on the top of the foot and tried a second half-court game. Since speed isn't a factor in half-court, the only noticeable sensation was the bouncy feel when jumping and landing. Also, the tightness on the top of the foot didn't feel as painful as in the first game."lg...More

Finally, the time has come to buy Kobe shoes at the original price, and I couldn't wait to wear them for a real game. Here's my take: The shoe fits well in length, and the sides provide strong support. If you like a snug fit, just go with your regular size. The feel is more on the firm and responsive side. As someone with a lighter build, the cushioning is enough for me—it doesn't jar my head when jumping and landing. After all, it's a shoe from over a decade ago. If you want even better cushioning and more advanced technology, you might want to check out the G.T. Cut instead.lg...More

The forefoot feels close to the ground, while the rearfoot is soft and bouncy. Although it's a full-length "䨻" midsole, the feedback from the forefoot is a bit lower than I expected. Personally, I prefer the separated Zoom Air in the front and back—it feels softer. Maybe it's because of my age (35), but I'm more inclined toward shoes with better cushioning and a more comfortable feel. The carbon plate in the midfoot provides plenty of support, though it might feel a bit stiff at first and cause some foot soreness. After a few wears, it should feel more natural. The grip is excellent, performing well both indoors and outdoors. The shoe also offers great lockdown. The sizing is standard—I usually wear a 44 in Nike and Adidas, sometimes a 44.5. For the Way of Wade 10, I initially thought a 43.5 would be enough, but after trying it, I realized I should stick with a 44. The colorway is great, and the overall feel is energetic, though I wish it were a bit softer.lg...More
