So what seems to be the biggest issue, the upper or midsole?
Upper is stiff, zoom soles (heel) don't feel like zoom. Picked up a pair of the Instincts, popped soles from the 11 in, and it's a better shoe than the AD (IMO). Sad when you can doctor the $100 takedown and it's better than the regular model. Maybe Elites will be better. BTW. I have both AD and Instinct for points of reference.So what seems to be the biggest issue, the upper or midsole?

He should have spend an extra $265 on top to ID and good the full zoom instead of just whatever the cost of the XIs are these days and he'd have the perfect takedown that cost $300+ to assemble.
Yup. But the TPU is quite supportive, and it's a light shoe. The 11 soles can be swapped out easily. I tired both the full length and heel zoom just to see how it felt. Perfect. Reason I got the Instinct is because I wanted a Laker colorway.That forefoot impact protection though...
That's a very clean court!!!4 hours later, on court only, total wipes:0
That's a very clean court!!!
so the rubber gives decent traction AND doesn't pick up dust?! that's exactly like having the cake and eating it too!!! thank you for the info as i am still on the fence whether to cop or not. i don't want to wait too long for the fk version to find out they are not as good looking and the regular version sold out :/Not really, my socks were full of dust after taking about 15 steps today. I've played in them a bunch more times and the sole still looks pretty much the same. The rubber just doesn't collect dust for some reason

i wondered about the same thing when i got my kd trey 5, didn't have a problem with indoor use, and some said that if the xdr needed break-in, just take it outside and hoop a couple sessions then clean it, and after that it's good to go on indoor courts. not sure if traction pattern plays a huge role tho.
Do you guys think an XDR rubber outsole will work just as well as the solid white rubber during in door court use?
by that logic, is it safe to assume that continental is the xdr of adidas?I always wonder; why not use XDR on at least some colorways of every model? Similar to how Adidas uses Contintental.
