I got the White Noise colorway at release and have been able to clock about 10 hours of gametime so far. Here's my thoughts performance-wise:
Fit - These run wider than your standard Nike shoe. To me, this is a great thing. As a wide footer who wears ankle braces when playing, I'm pretty happy with this. The use of a tongue instead of a bootie means it can accomodate more different foot widths. The ankle pillows help the foot feel secure in the shoe.
Traction - I play on a fairly dusty court and so far, the only shoes where I don't have traction issues are the Curry 2's. These grip better than average, but they're not at God-tier. I'm still wiping a lot, but so is everyone else.
Support - The use of the strap and over-under-lace loops help the shoe feel secure laterally. Plenty of layers of support despite the lower cut than the WNZ0.2's.
Cushion - Forefront feels like a more subdued, lower-to-the-ground version of the WNZ0.2's, but still has enough so that landings aren't jarring or painful. More than adequate for a guard, in my opinion.
I'm enjoying them a lot, and have no regrets over this purchase.

This might be the GOAT non-MJ Jordan Brand signature shoe. CP3, Melo, Wade never had a signature shoe that looked this good

They got the Dream's two championship trophies on the tag, pretty cool.
I really like Russ but I don't think the man's ever going to win a chip.

I've come to a similar conclusion.
If you're a fan of the 2 you'll feel right at home with the 3. I own the 2 SE as well and that's pretty much a half step between the two.
The 3 is just a more minimal, refined lighter version of the 2.
Zoom isn't as thick but it's more encompassing north to south. And it's still a max cushion setup. There is plenty of bounce here.
I love how Russ's shoes have a strong association with the athlete. At a design level these feel like Westbrook's shoe. The signature comes through the layers and shapes in the materials, not plastering an eyeball logo everywhere.

Anybody seen a pair of Zer0.1's, who would ship to Europe? Running on my third pair now, and they are pretty beat up already so I'm worried about not getting them anymore.
Have been trying out other shoes as well, but the fit or overall performance is never on par with Zer0.1's. KD12, nope. Jordan XXXIV, nope. Anatomix Spawn, nope. Dame 5 comes close, same with GP Zoom Retro.
Thus is my absolute dream shoe, wish I would have stocked up on them back kn the day

Okay, and the tag on the side says World 1, and you have 4 "RW" lives and a score of 0002300. And the back pull tag says World something too. Those are dope AF. I need these. Why do you do this to me Nike?!?!

Wanted to wait for a good sale but went and copped the white noise colorway before it dried up, starting to be sparse sizes available. The black pair looking like it might end up on disco so I'll wait on those. I'll probably be in for the all-star pair and then I'll be done with these more than likely.
