nah man.. its a bit ridiculous and frustrating. I used to think it was just trolling until every once in a while when i can decipher the gibberish he has some valid statement but its a rarity. Not saying any of that to be condescending its just truth
Am I the only one?

I just run up and down a lot, drive and kick and hopefully get some easy layups.
The difference between these and say Kobe V's or Hyperdunks is very noticeable, obviously. I think they're great shoes still, just not my style. I can definitely see the appeal, except for the carbon clip that bothers me, they are comfortable. Would be a nice shoe for easy games, when you have a good team, but not when I want to go all out.
A good example is when I get the ball and push it up the floor. In Kobe V's I'll beat a lot of the guys down the court, but in these I can't get up to speed the same way.
For me, I know what I want in a shoe. I hate when people bash on a quality shoe just because they didn't like it. CP3 VI's were a great shoe, but I didn't like the heel strike and heel-to-toe transition.

yea im thinking of resigning these after just a couple a games, they are just too unbalanced for me shooting the ball. I feel im shooting fade aways or im not able to get set right with these shoes. The comfort is good im just not liking the way they feel when i jump, I dont have any issue with running in them but they are not giving me confidence shooting long range, the forefoot zoom bag is just too pronounced for me im not feeling its an advantage, quite the opposite in fact I feel off balance in them.

Yea i starting to experience this. It's like the shoes is forcing you to be active on your toes all the time. These shoes are not meant for stationary shooter or pull up jump shooter. It's more like a slasher/ up and down cherry picker type of shoes imo.

Anything is better than balling in the retro gloves. The OGs were solid, the retros have the cheapest zoom nike could fit in there.

Haha, that's exactly what I am and I'm not feeling them too much. Again, I think sizing has something to do with it, but that left clip is still bothering me, so I can't imagine going smaller would help with that. They're good shoes, just not for me. A little too high off the ground.
