What shoe is similar to the XIV, with better cushioning?

[classy lawrence]

I played in my XIV's at a gym. These shoes were terrific. The only problem was that the cushioning in the sole wasn't too good.

Any shoes that match the weight, traction, ankle support and stability of the XIV's, but have more cushioning in at least the forefoot?

I'd say Kobe II's are similar to them.

They're both relatively light, have good fit and traction. The ankle is more restrictive on the Kobe II's, and I think court feel is better on theXIV's. But the zoom feels a bit thicker on the Kobe II's.

They both also have a really stiff heel counter/achilles area, with the Kobe II taking that to the next level. I thought XIV's were somewhat stiff at theachilles, but Kobe II's were to the point of pain for me.

if you want a shoe that preforms well like the 14s but with more cushioning.. id look into the 22... in my opinion the best jordan preformance shoe on themarket..(and yes i do have the 23, but i feel the 22 preform better)

kobe 2's definitely. same kind of traction and feeling on court as 14s, but more cushioning.
