I bought the elite greys a few days ago for hooping and man, I wanted to love these shoes. Felt so nice in the store and in warm ups, but in both my league games on Tuesday and Thursday, I had to switch sneakers because these KDs were KILLING my arches. I've only had that problem once before with retro Air Uptempos. Normally, I can throw on any pair of sneakers and be fine. Is anyone else having that problem? I'm thinking of trying insoles, but I really might have to return these. Shame, because I love the look and feel of the shoes, but 10 minutes of playing and I have to take them off.
I think the design of the shoe is the problem. Look right at the center of the sneaker above the zoom air bag. They added an exaggerated arch in there, and that's exactly where my foot starts to hurt.
