Top 10 Must-Have Sneakers for Indian Traditional Dress in 2025

The biggest concern from online reviews was the weight of the entire shoe at 500g, but in reality, the weight distribution is well-balanced and the shoe fits snugly, so the heaviness isn't noticeable. For someone who's 5'11" and 143 lbs, the midsole feels soft yet resilient, and the cushioning is more than sufficient for me. The full-length TPU on the sides doesn't cause any discomfort during push-off or bending. The transition from front to back is smooth, and I didn't feel any significant issues with toe splay. However, during sharp cuts, the upper feels a bit stiff and doesn't flex easily without applying force, so it requires some leg strength to handle. The outsole provides great traction forward but is slightly slippery laterally, which is acceptable. As for streetwear appeal, despite the large honeycomb-like openings on the sides, the sock-like inner boot design limits breathability, making it a bit hot for summer wear, similar to the AJ11, which is better suited for fall and winter. In terms of looks, it's hard to fault it, though the top-down view does resemble a military-style shoe 😂. It's versatile enough for both playing and casual wear, much like a Yeezy. I just wish Adidas could improve their craftsmanship a bit.lg...More

"The shoebox is a pull-out design. The actual sneakers look quite premium, better than the pictures, though beauty is subjective. Foot shape compatibility: I have slightly wide feet and found the fit to be good, suitable for most foot types. However, there's a slight feeling of hallux valgus. The sides have soft TPU, providing high shoe-upper strength, but the overall shoe-to-foot integration is just average. The arch support isn't suitable for high arches (I have a slightly high arch). Comfort: The initial feel is quite firm, with good court feel and responsive push-off. The sole is relatively flat, lacking much rolling motion. There's a minor heel slip issue, but it's not significant. Traction and durability: The grip is strong, allowing precise movements without slipping. The outsole feels soft to the touch, but its durability will require longer testing."lg...More

"Although Edwards has already been eliminated, as a 22-year-old, his performance this season has been quite impressive. I really like the way he plays, especially his dunk that left a lasting impression on me. That's why I decided to get this 'dunk' colorway and wanted to share my thoughts on it today. Personal stats: Height: 5'8'' Weight: 165 lbs Aesthetics: In recent years, there have been a lot of pink shoes released. At first, I wasn't a big fan of pink, but after seeing it more, I started to like it. This pink isn't too flashy; it has a bit of a 'dirty pink' feel, which makes it quite easy to pair with different outfits. I really like this color combination. Rating: 9.5 Upper: The upper uses a combination of rubber and a sock-like design, which Adidas has been favoring in recent years. I found it easy to put on, and the sock-like design fits snugly. The overall fit is more snug than I expected, and the support is also good. I really like the strength of this upper. Rating: 9 Midsole: I think the midsole thickness is just right. It doesn't feel like the center of gravity is too high when you put it on, and the response is quick. It's softer and bouncier than I anticipated, and it should work fine for heavier players. Rating: 9.5 Outsole: Since I mainly play indoors, I can't comment on the durability of this shoe. However, in terms of grip, it performs really well on indoor wooden courts. I think it's quite sufficient. Rating: 9.5 Overall, I would recommend this shoe for forward players looking for a good performance shoe. As for sizing, go with your regular size."lg...More

The Georgia Red Clay dunk colorway looks really cool. The inner bootie design provides excellent support, but it's worth noting that it does press against the top of the foot, which can be uncomfortable for some. I have a normal foot shape and felt some pressure on the instep, but I was willing to overlook it for the sake of the style. The shoe feels great overall—very soft and responsive, and it fits snugly. It performs well in games, with no issues during quick starts. The craftsmanship is decent too. If you like it, you should grab a pair while you can.lg...More
