The cushioning, support, and lateral stability are excellent. However, for me, it feels a bit tight across the instep, so it might take a few games to break in. I went with a half size larger to accommodate this.lg...More

**Kobe 6 "Reverse Black Mamba"** **⭐ Sizing Recommendation:** 1️⃣ **Personal Data:** Height 180 cm, Weight 143 lbs. I have a medium-slim foot shape. I chose a size larger than my usual size, which resulted in a slightly roomy forefoot—my toes didn't touch the front, and I could comfortably wear thicker elite socks without the shoes slipping off my heels. 2️⃣ **Summary:** The shoe's last is on the tighter side. For those with larger, slim feet, the regular size should work fine. For medium and slightly wider feet, consider going half a size or a full size up. **⭐ Pros:** 1️⃣ **Upper Material:** ① The shoe features a unique snake-scale-like design on the upper, giving it a distinctive look. ② The upper is quite strong, providing good support during quick stops, lateral pushes, and side-to-side movements. 2️⃣ **Tight Fit and Lockdown:** ① The upper offers a snug fit without feeling overly restrictive. The multiple eyelets provide good lockdown, and the laces stay in place without coming undone easily. 3️⃣ **Midsole Feel:** ① The midsole combines Zoom Turbo in the forefoot and foam in the heel. After breaking in, the forefoot feels quite responsive, while the heel foam provides sufficient cushioning for lighter guards like me. ② Although the shoe isn't the lowest to the ground, it offers a quick and responsive feel during cuts and bursts of speed, especially for those with good physical conditioning or strong ankle strength. ③ The overall support and torsional rigidity are excellent, but it doesn't feel stiff or difficult to move in. 4️⃣ **Outsole Material:** The outsole performs well on both indoor and outdoor courts. Even after picking up dust, the grip remains solid. **⭐ Cons:** 1️⃣ **Upper Material:** ① The shoe's breathability is relatively average, as there are no noticeable mesh panels for ventilation. 2️⃣ **Fit Experience:** ① The shoe's last is tight, and if you size up, the initial fit might feel a bit long, with some space at the toe box, requiring some time to break in. 3️⃣ **Midsole Feel:** ① When first worn, the shoe feels quite firm, which can be challenging to handle for lighter guards. ② The shoe isn't the lowest to the ground, and after some use, the heel might feel slightly higher than the forefoot. 4️⃣ **Outsole Material:** ① The durability is moderate, but it's not recommended for outdoor concrete courts. ② The outsole tends to pick up dust easily, so regular cleaning is necessary.lg...More
