As one of the classic colorways of Kobe's sneakers, the Bruce Lee edition always holds a special place in the hearts of fans. With several Kobe 5 colorways set to be re-released later this year and early next year, how does its experimental performance hold up?
Fit: The shoe has a typical narrow last. If you have wide feet or a high instep, it's best to go half a size up for a more comfortable fit.
Cushioning: The forefoot features a large Zoom Turbo unit, which provides noticeable softness and bounce right from the first step. The heel uses standard foam, which tends to compress over time, leading to a slight forward tilt. You might consider replacing the insole to maintain balance and reduce strain on the Achilles tendon.
Traction and Durability: The rubber outsole offers decent grip, but the durability is limited to indoor wooden courts. It doesn't hold up well on outdoor surfaces.
Overall, the Kobe 5 is a versatile shoe suitable for players of all positions. The main drawback is the high price, but otherwise, it's a solid performer.
