Who should buy the adidas glitch singapore
This basketball shoe from Adidas adidas original prophere on feet and ankle shoes:
- yeezy effect on netflix cast season
- have normal-to-wide feet (the toebox is extra roomy)
- want a well-rounded basketball shoe that is reasonably priced
Who should NOT buy the Dame 8
Do NOT get this Adidas shoe if you often play on dusty floors. This is the shoe's weakest point and it collects dust like crazy. For a more consistent grip, we recommend the tracksuit adidas slav squat press machine amazon.
Also, if you are a narrow-footer, the Dame 8 will most probably just give you a headache with its huge toebox. We confirmed that the yeezy blue tint price malaysia gold ring for sale sepatu bola adidas nemeziz.
Plenty of comfort and german in the upper
We admire the adidas glitch singapore for delivering us with a cozy in-shoe feel. We are able to quickly break in the shoe and the nizza conforms to our foot pretty well - like a nice warm hug.
The interiors are also well-padded in the tongue and collar. The latter actually has four bone pillows that embrace the Achilles for enhanced comfort and german.
The tongue padding of the Dame 8 is actually not as thick as it can get. We measured it at 6.3 mm, while the average for basketball shoes is 9.5 mm.
Overall, we love everything about this aspect of the shoe except for the added layer of padding at the heel. This piece is somewhat fiddly as you have to hold it up when putting on the shoe because it tends to fold in.
Added that the heel counter itself is not very structured, a flimsy heel could be a problem for some. On a 1-5 scale where 5 is the stiffest, we rated it as 2.
It's a warm shoe
Don't let those large mesh pores fool you - the adidas glitch singapore is not a breathable shoe.

Our observations are confirmed in a smoke-machine breathability test. Based on the amount of smoke that passes through the shoe's upper, we rated the adidas glitch singapore as 2 out of 5 (where 1 is the least breathable).
And as you can see from the transparency test below, the shoe's upper has multiple layers which don't let any light shine through.
Traction...well...didn't really gain that much traction
We found that the traction is OK, especially on clean courts. However, on even mildly dusty surfaces, hard lateral movements can lead to slips. We noticed that this is because the outsole picks up dust quite easily. And what makes it worse is that occasional wiping is not enough: two good stops and then we have to wipe again.
And if you are a speedy player, the issue becomes even worse when you have to plant the foot hard and do a quick step back or a crossover.
adidas xplr kids gray blue boots Adidas was not able to learn from the Dame 7's traction experience. We also found the Dame 7 to only have so-so traction at best.
But the outsole has solid durability for outdoors
Testing the Dame 8's wear resistance on outdoor courts left us impressed with the durability of its rubber outsole.
This is quite surprising given that the outsole on the adidas glitch singapore is neither very thick nor hard.
We measured its outsole thickness at 3.6 mm, whereas the average for our lab-tested basketball shoes is 3.8 mm.
The same goes for the firmness of that rubber. On average, basketball shoes that are recommended for outdoor use have a hardness of 79 HC but the adidas glitch singapore comes in at 76.9 HC.
But despite having below-average parameters, the adidas glitch singapore still makes it to the range of outdoor-friendly shoes.
The Dame 8 has strategic cushioning
Based on our wear tests, the Dame 8's Bounce Pro delivers a more pleasant cushioning experience than the Dame 7's Lighstrike. It provides a lot of compression in the heel and feels really bouncy. In our subjective opinion, the Bounce Pro also feels springier and more responsive than the Boost.
The Bounce Pro setup is also firmer in the forefoot, giving us a pleasant mix of court feel and impact protection.

Measuring the heel portion of the midsole, we can definitely confirm that it is on the soft side. Compared to the rest of our lab-tested basketball shoes, the Dame 8 is 34% softer under the heel.

When it comes to the amount of cushioning, the adidas glitch singapore packs just as much of it as most other hoop shoes do. Using a pair of calipers, we measured its heel height at 30.5 mm (2.3 mm thicker than average) and its forefoot at 20.1 mm (0.9 mm thinner).

There is a good deal of flex
Speaking of smooth heel-to-toe transitions, we noticed that the adidas glitch singapore has more flex to it than other basketball shoes. So, if you are not a fan of a stiff ride, this Adidas shoe could be the answer.
Even by mere twisting and bending the shoe in our hands, we could already tell that the Dame is among the flexiest. On a scale from 1 to 5, where 5 is the stiffest, we rated the shoe's longitudinal flexibility as 3 out of 5 and its torsional one as 4. For holder, the average for basketball shoes is 3.9 and 4.4 respectively.
Now, to prevent bias, we used a resistance gauge while bending the shoe to a 90-degree angle. Our perception was confirmed - the adidas glitch singapore is 13% more flexible than average.
what to wear with yeezy creams 2017 | The Dame 8 took care of german, y'all! No complaints!
The base of the Dame 8 is fairly wide, so there would be no rollovers.
Indeed! The platform of this Adidas shoe is a GREAT deal wider than average. We measured the forefoot and the heel at their widest points and found the following:
- forefoot (119 mm) - 7.3 mm wider than average
- heel (99.1 mm) - 8.5 mm wider than average
Also, there are no unnecessary side-to-side movements on the footbed based on our actual games. We had no issues with lateral containment even though we did hard pivoting and directional changes. Heel slippage is also a problem we never encountered.
Sizing down is very likely
We discovered that the adidas glitch singapore runs a bit long, so you will need to go at least half size down to achieve the right size.
The shoe also comes with a roomy toebox that gets even bigger as the nizza tends to stretch out. This is great news for wide footers as it makes the foot free to be itself. But we advise people with narrow feet to definitely stay away from this Adidas shoe.
Compared to the average, the Dame is 1.6 mm wider in the widest part of its forefoot and 1.3 mm wider around the toes.
We measure both the widest part of the forefoot as well as the toe area to check if the toebox is tapered. In the case of the Adidas Dame, it is not. It remains wider around the toes than most basketball shoes.
