Reebok took a micromesh material and overlayed with fuse layers

Since then? All downhill, culminating in the brand giving up the Vector branding and saying that besides for retro, basketball was dead to them. Oh, wait, I get it — they come back and resurrect the Pump system for ball, after we already saw it in the running line. Still relevant?Wait, tell me if you have heard this before — mesh fabric upper with fuse overlay. You have? Guess what — you’ll hear it Nike Roshe Run Femme again. Not that it’s a bad thing, especially when you get a mesh like this.

Reebok took a micromesh material and overlayed with fuse layers in the high-stress areas around the laces and toebox (you toe-dragging dogs). Not the most supportive system but comfy from the first Pump. The inner sleeve is a nice open-cell mesh for comfort from the Pump bladder. Speaking of Pump bladder — it’s there too, but Fit is coming.

The ankle lining and collar has some of that super-rough/smooth cat’s tongue lining like the Rose 6 but not in the same level of coverage — just enough to grab and hold. Outsole is solid rubber, thick and ‘boned, and the midsole cushioning is WAY better than their last DMX Foam effort.Good and bad. Good: the ankle collar/Pump fit works. It took me about 50-65 pumps to finally get the heel slip eliminated, but once I Nike Air Max 1 Homme got past the calloused thumbs I was good. The Pump bladder only goes around the ankle and a little over the front, so don’t expect the full foot to be wrapped. I did have the right shoe only losing some air from the bladder but after a few pumps it was right back in shape.

The forefoot fit is a little different. IF you can get your foot in the shoe — the Lebron XIII is cake compared to the Rise — you’ll get a normal width forefoot and midfoot. The forefoot looks narrow, and when pulled tight it looks EXTREMELY narrow, but that is because of the lacing system going as far down as it does. The front of the laceholes almost overlap but I didn’t get any hotspots, just an ugly wrinkle. My foot stayed on top of the midsole on cuts and drives and the Fuse overlays held tight on lateral movements.

Wide-footers could also get away Adidas Superstar Homme with the forefoot fit but I’m not sure you will get in the collar. If you do, golden.Look at that herringbone pattern; it’s all over the forefoot, completely across, deep, pliable, tough. BUT, and here is the great big but, I fell. Hard. Three times. All hard. Really hard. Front to back, it was beast. Running down the floor and Nike Air Max Thea Homme stopping was monster. Crossing over or changing directions at full speed was a disaster of Phantom Menace proportion. Picture this: right handed dribble at the top, to left crossover, plant to go into jump motion, and BAM! As my right foot planted to jump, down goes Duke. At first I thought it was the move. Second time I thought it was the floor. Third time, I thought shoes. So off they came and on came the Curry 2. No more falls.
