Nike Zoom Sharkalaid Performance Review<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/p>\nStraight out of the box, these shoes are extremely stiff. The ankle area needed about 3 days worth of wear before it really loosened up. After wearing them in a little though, the shoes feel pretty good on your feet. Compared to other silhouettes, they are a little on the heavy side, which is to be expected for a shoe that is intended for outdoor beatings. <\/p>\n
The heel cushioning is what is expected from a Zoom Air Unit, comfortable to play in, but not overly soft. Combined with the ability to tighten up the straps around the ankle, and the dense leather, the shoe is very stable and solid from the back to the front. Somewhat surprising was the forefoot cushioning, it was better than expected, especially considering there is no Air Unit of any kind up front.<\/p>\n

However, it lacks in the traction department slightly, especially indoors. That’s the trade off of having a more durable outsole, versus a softer, stickier sole like the Kobe IV or Hyperdunk. As for moving around in these shoes, the weight, and solidness is somewhat in inhibiting in a lot of ways. <\/p>\n
