    • wlqrichard on 09/02/2019 - 19:37

      They don't run wide, as it's more snug than my Harden vol 2, kyrie 4 or lebron 15 & 16. I will say it's on par with harden vol 3 (width).

      • Yaren24 on 09/02/2019 - 19:41

        PG2 are less snug than PG1, but still lockdown is fantastic. One part lacking was cushioning which they have improved on PG3. But I still prefer the Vol 3.

        Piggybacking on this. Have owned a lot of shoes in the past and Jordan 32s are by far the best I've had. Both for indoor and outdoor.

    • wlqrichard on 09/02/2019 - 20:22

      Get shoes with better heel cushioning, which will have less impact when you land. The PG series doesn't have that.

      • Yaren24 on 09/02/2019 - 20:25

        Thanks for reminding me, I just deleted the last one, but the PG3 is bit softer on the heel which is great. I think when PG become the top 5 player they will add zoom unit or other cushioning technology to the heel. To me lockdown and cushioning is my priority as I had injuries before.

      BTW what bb shoes are you wearing right now?

  • Oneiricer on 09/02/2019 - 21:08
    +1

    Thanks Yaren. I've never really been a believer in player named basketball shoes over the generic nike ones. Do you feel it actually makes a difference playing basketball? I've tried to do some research, and it looks like the actual 'benefit' still comes in generic ones over specific player ones.

    Also interesting you said its good for positions 1 - 4. Why wouldn't it be suitable for 5s?

    • bargainsniper69 on 09/02/2019 - 21:11

      It's really up to preference but 5s and sometimes even 4s go for shoes with more impact protection such as lebrons or kds which have zoom air in them.

      We had guy in my firsts team a few years ago who played states and he was 6'8 very stocky wearing Kyrie 2s lmao.

      Also player named shoes are generally catered towards their different styles of play. For example I'm a 1 and love how low to the ground and the court feel you get with Kobe's. Played in kd10s but didn't really like them since they were a little too mushy and high but they were comfy as hell.

    • Yaren24 on 09/02/2019 - 21:31

      All good brother, Thank you for reply.

      Generally speaking, the signature lineups tend to have better materials and better performances overall. I am a firm believer in having good shoes, paying $100 - 200 rather than being sent to Hospital is another story.

      Shoes like PG focus on versatility and shooting, one thing lacks is traction and material, but you get used to it after awhile.
      The signature lines hold their values relatively well, even 10 years afterwards they still present a great memory to you.

      With positions, NBA stars have better cushioning in their PE shoes, whereas us we don't have that luxury, they may have the zoom unit in the heel where we have a hard phylon instead.

      Position 5 uses a lot of post moves so additional cushioning would be nice. Imagine 200lbs guy land with phylon on his heel rather than Boost/Zoom unit, you can easily tell which one is better.

      But for general hooping, PG2.5 is a perfect match. If you want more cushioning, have a look at KD or Lebron or AJ series

      • Oneiricer on 09/02/2019 - 21:39
        +1

        Thanks. I pulled the trigger on this, as i generally spend around $90 on generic shoes anyway. Will see if an extra $20 is worth it or not.

        Do you know if these shoes are good for outdoor courts (non concrete)? Probably not…

        I probably should get a bit more cushioning to alleviate knee stress, irrespective of position.

        • Yaren24 on 09/02/2019 - 21:49
          +1

          Not for outdoors, the outsole of PG2.5 is quite soft, so outdoor you probably look at something else.

          You can get some knee compressions and shoe orthotics. That's prob by far the cheapest.

    • donotuse on 10/02/2019 - 09:02

      I think it will be called iPhone 11. They can’t go on using roman numerals. Like in 7 years it would be iPhone XVIII? Maybe they will use it for special releases like X which was the death of the home button.

      Besides I don’t have roman numerals in the number pad.

        Yes I get that, but can’t I use them outside as walking shoes? You can’t walk in these shoes is that what you’re saying?

        • undien on 10/02/2019 - 11:23

          Yes, you can use them as walking shoes - but there are better alternatives at this price.
          So unless you love the look of these shoes, I wouldn't recommend it. But if you like the way it looks - go for it!

    • wlqrichard on 10/02/2019 - 11:25
      +1

      They are not good for walking as they are heavier and hotter (because the upper material is thicker) than normal walking or running shoes, but you can still wear it if you want to.

  • NeeKeeTa on 10/02/2019 - 11:09

    Sorry if it's a stupid question: Are these shoes good for fast walking/running too?

    • undien on 10/02/2019 - 11:33
      +1

      Nah, not a stupid question. But I wouldn't recommend it for fast walking/ running. The traction/ rubber on the bottom goes away/ gets sanded down pretty quick on treadmills and roads. Also runners are more 'breathable' whilst basketball shoes tend to be thicker and built differently to make it sturdier but the downside is gets really hot during long use.
      You won't get much mileage from it as well as there are more comfortable alternatives.

      • NeeKeeTa on 10/02/2019 - 12:25

        Thanks a lot Aykay123. WOuld you be able to recommend one suitable for walking/running from Nike, which is ideally on sale?

        • AkiraSaito on 10/02/2019 - 12:51

          Yeah I'd say just get a trainer or runner from Nike, they are more durable than basketball shoes especially those indoor ones because they are designed to function on timber floors. I have bought dozens of shoes from Nike or Adidas, just go to your local outlets and you will have plenty to choose from.

    Awesome price for PGs. Wonder if available in the Nike store

  • Justcuz on 10/02/2019 - 13:43

    From reading all these comments, do you guys think they'd be good volleyball shoes? Don't know much about positions and bball stuff but it looks to have good grip indoor? My current shoes are starting to slip on the timber court I play on and might pick these up if good for vball

    • undien on 10/02/2019 - 15:20
      +1

      It depends on your play style as well as build. If you jump a lot and are heavy and/or have bad knees or a history of injuries I would recommend other shoes to take more load off your legs/ knees when landing. (getting a decent cushioned shoe so you don't screw up your joints will be worth it long run)

      But if you are on the slightly above average to lighter side of things (or a dedicated libero), I reckon this would be okay. I've seen A LOT of Volleyballers play with the Kyrie basketball line which have aggressive traction but no cushioning at all and these are better in the cushioning department.

      Take my advice with a grain of salt, because I haven't tried the shoes yet but based on what I've read online it should be okay. And as always try in-store if possible to see if it fits correctly (I'm sure there is free returns as well, just make sure it's comfortable)

      Personally I skipped these shoes for basketball when they were released as the traction although people said was good, it was really thin when I held it in person and I was too scared of it wearing out/ fraying too fast due to my play style.

      • Justcuz on 10/02/2019 - 15:35

        Thanks for the insight! I'm a heavy 80+kg, 180cm blocker and all I ever do is jump and take quick but heavy steps haha and based on what you said, this shouldn't be too far up the list. Do you have any recommendations/brands for shoes with good cushions by any chance?

        • undien on 10/02/2019 - 20:28
          +2

          I have to say 80+kg and 180cm by basketball 'standards' is loosely the 'average' (or slightly above) height/weight so I feel that the shoes will still be adequate for you.

          If you did want to venture into more cushioning; LeBron, KD lines are something you can venture into but imo they're 'too' cushy for you and you would feel unstable in them or sluggish on jumps. However, looking at the prices it's going to be a lot more expensive than these shoes (Basketball shoes being on sale is a rarity). I think Klay(KT) or Harden line would be perfect for you buuut its expensive (KT is cheaper if you are planning in visiting China in the near future, unless you somehow find a cheap importer).

          So imo if you are okay with them (PG 2.5), it should hold up well for as long as they last. (not sure on the durability of the traction, so look around for reviews on if it lasts or what not. But if you see for yourself in the previews provided by adidas its thin wavey lines which, as i said, will be great as long as it lasts).

          Great thing about PG 2.5 is that there is a zoom unit in the forefoot which helps a lot if you jump a lot.

          I looked up some deals and the other alternative is the Pro Bounce series:
          https://www.adidas.com.au/men-basketball-shoes-outlet
          Combined with 30% off outlets code https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/436246

          $119 X 70% = ~$83

          if you need to replace you current shoes ASAP I'd just look at either PG 2.5 or Pro Bounce as those are the only ones available atm that aren't pricey. I think you'll still be happy with either of them :)
          My summary for them would be if you want a better built shoe which may fit more comfortably go for PG. If you want a more cheaper feeling shoe but traction that will last, Pro Bounce. (But if the Pro Bounce fits nicely for you, id get that one instead… Really depends on how it feels/ what you prefer at the end of the day)

          Personally, Pro Bounce may feel a bit cheaper but I'd go for that one if I can get it for $83. It's $30 cheaper and you can save that money to invest in the next pair as well as piece of mind that the bottoms won't fray as fast.

          Hope it helps!

            @undien: Pro Bounce performs better than PG2.5, other than lockdowns, I just grabbed a pair of PB from Adidas Australia, the PE version uses better material than the norm. Most of basketball shoes dont go on sales, anything under $100 is considered to be a bargain.

    seems like nike should stop exploiting chinese employees and put some more quality in their shoes.

  • arbpotatoes on 25/02/2019 - 12:16

    Got mine in the post today. There was a little bit of dirt on the outsoles and the insole in one shoe was folded over like they'd been removed once, so I think at least some of these might be 'unworn' returns.

    • Yaren24 on 25/02/2019 - 12:36

      I am sorry to hear that man, I think it is very likely to receive poor quality shoes from Nike, I noticed the ones made in Vietnam is not good as the ones that have been made in China, so I am not too sure. I think you might as well return it and get the PG3

      • arbpotatoes on 04/03/2019 - 09:35

        Other than what I mentioned the quality is fine. I'll keep them because I like the strap on the 2.5
