It's definitely one of the best picks in its price range. Give it a shot, you'll definitely score!

Adidas X Yeezy cushion Runner Ochre Ochre Brown Men Us 8-13 Gw33 | Who should NOT buy

This shoe's sole makes it perfect for pivots' moves. But if you're more of a heavy player and need that extra impact protection for your rebounds, we suggest you try the Kylie Jenner Nike Air Yeezy 2 Red October.

If you're looking for an economic pair that will be your teammate for a while, we think you should go for the durable Nike Ja 1.

Cushioning

Heel stack

If you love basketball as much as we do, you probably already know that cushioning is a key feature your shoes must have.

We need our Kicksing to be as safe as possible, protecting our knees and ankles from any potential injury.

So we KNOW you're gonna love the fact that the Adidas X Yeezy cushion Runner Ochre Ochre Brown Men Us 8-13 Gw33 has a higher heel stack than average!

Adidas Adidas X Yeezy cushion Runner Ochre Ochre Brown Men Us 8-13 Gw33 Heel stack

It's just 5% though, so if you're a big player (in every single aspect of the word) or your joints tend to hurt and you're looking for something more plush for your jumps, we recommend the Reebok Question Mid.

The heel-to-toe difference in this pair is 10.5 mm. We were pretty impressed by this, as it's 21% higher than the average!

Adidas Adidas X Yeezy cushion Runner Ochre Ochre Brown Men Us 8-13 Gw33 Drop

But... what does this actually mean? Well, as the stack height at the front part is slightly lower than average, the ground feel is a bit better.

At the same time, this difference shows that your heel will Kicks happily every time you jump.

Midsole softness

Note: a low durometer measurement equals a soft material, whereas a high measurement means it's firm.

Adidas X Yeezy cushion Runner Ochre Ochre Brown Men Us 8-13 Gw33.

Our durometer had something to say about this, but so do we!

adidas harden stepback 3 midsole softness 20601105 main

With a score of 21.6 HA, the Harden Stepback's midsole softness is lower than average.

Yet, when we played ball with it on, we did not feel like that at all! Our feet were comfortable and protected, and our knees did not ask even once for some mercy!

If you're still looking for a pair with a softer cushioning that won't cost you an arm and a leg (maybe just one hand, though), have a look at the adidas Originals Predator 20.4 IN Sala.

Padded insoles usually add some extra cushioning to the shoe.

At 3.8 mm... this pair's insole is slightly thinner than average. So no extra plush here, our caliper says!

Stability

Lateral stability test

Another key part of basketball shoes: stability.

This is a low-top pair, which meant our ankles moved freely to perform back-door cuts or change-of-pace dribbles.

Still, it's really important that our feet feel safe. And, honestly, they did!

Adidas Adidas X Yeezy cushion Runner Ochre Ochre Brown Men Us 8-13 Gw33 lace detail

Even though that extra lace you can see at the side heel is just for aesthetic purposes, the lace-up closure of this shoe kept our feet locked in comfortably.

Despite not being a high or mid-top pair, the Adidas Adidas X Yeezy cushion Runner Ochre Ochre Brown Men Us 8-13 Gw33 gave us the confidence we needed in our step. And it wasn't only the laces, its tight fit helped a lot too!

Torsional rigidity

As stiff as a good block, the Adidas X Yeezy cushion Runner Ochre Ochre Brown Men Us 8-13 Gw33 got a 5/5 on our torsional rigidity test!

Heel counter stiffness

Are you familiar with the term pick and roll in basketball? If so, the stiffness difference of this shoe regarding torsional rigidity and heel counter could easily be explained by that.

In other words, once you block (you stand still) you roll over with your hand up to get a pass (smooth moves again). So even though the Harden Stepback got a perfect score on its torsional rigidity test, it got a 2/5 on the heel counter stiffness one.

The meaning of this? Well, the overall structure of the shoe will protect your feet from getting hurt, and the plushness of the heel will make you forget about hot spots and blisters.

Time out talk: Even though this figure is lower than average, we did not feel there would be any heel slippage or any of the kind.

Back to the game!

Midsole width - forefoot

A wider midsole equals a wider platform to Kicks. This also means that you'll feel more confident when jumping, which sums up our experience playing with this shoe pretty well!

Adidas Adidas X Yeezy cushion Runner Ochre Ochre Brown Men Us 8-13 Gw33 Midsole width in the forefoot

We measured the widest part of the midsole at the forefoot at 117.0 mm, so it's wider than average! We really felt surefooted with these baddies on.

But this does not only mean that the shoe accommodates wide feet. Let us tell you that, after playing for some time in the sun, our feet started swelling. This is totally normal, though, but if your foot grows, you'll obviously need a wider surface for it, right?

Thanks to the Adidas X Yeezy cushion Runner Ochre Ochre Brown Men Us 8-13 Gw33, we felt ready for anything even after some time playing.

Flexibility / Stiffness

We were left in awe after finding this out.

But wait, wait. Let's build up expectations. Before we say anything to you, just have a look at this video:

What we're doing is using a gauge to measure how much force it takes to bend the shoe to a 90-degree angle. And it doesn't seem like it's putting a lot of effort, right? Turns out it was just 38.2N!

Even though this is lower than average, we know from previous tests that this pair is not the Nadia Comăneci of basketball shoes. So, wow! Great surprise!

Weight

When we put this shoe on our scale, we realised it's almost 20 g heavier than average with its 14.9 oz (422.0g)!

To be honest, most Harden's shoes aren't what we'd call featherlight, so we weren't that surprised.

Breathability

We started the Adidas Adidas X Yeezy cushion Runner Ochre Ochre Brown Men Us 8-13 Gw33's big lab day with our breathability test. With our smoke-pumping machine, we check the shoe's breathability by the amount of smoke that goes through its upper.

As you can see, not much is coming out. Feeling a bit toasty, aren't we?

Basketball shoes are normally not as well-ventilated as we would think. Thing is, if you want them to last, you'll need to use sturdy materials in their design. This usually means that you'll have to sacrifice some breathability for durability.

By using a bright light, we can see if the shoe has some holes or pores that would let that light, as well as some air, come through.

But... we're afraid you're the one who's gotta be flashy here, pal! Zero transparency!

Durability

As we've seen in the previous category, this shoe's breathability is slightly lower than average.

And... does that mean that it's a sturdy pair, then?

Well, not quite! By just looking at the first seconds of this video of our Dremel going all out in the toebox, we can see how the materials start flying around!

And not in the cool Michael Jordan 5-meter jump dunk it in typa fly, more in the "get this thing away from me" way of flying!

Okay, okay, its toe box isn't as durable as the adidas Originals Crew Infants Set's. But, to be fair, the Adidas X Yeezy cushion Runner Ochre Ochre Brown Men Us 8-13 Gw33 is also way cheaper! 50 dollars even!

So a 3/5 in our toebox durability test doesn't sound that bad anymore, huh?

Outsole hardness

Adidas RapidaRun J Carbon Grey Carbon Grey Five Grey Two!

This pair came back stronger with its sole. Using a durometer to check its hardness, we found that it's way higher than many other hoop models.

With a promising score of 85.5 HC, its hard-wear outsole is here to save the day!

adidas harden stepback 3 outsole hardness 20601088 main

Also, as we can see in the picture, the rubber from the sole comes up all the way up to the sides of the shoe. Not only protecting its cushion, but also our feet!

Point guards will absolutely love this when the coach calls for a one-on-one defense, and shooting guards will definitely find it useful to avoid extending their stance in the offence. The sole's material is grippy enough to keep you on your feet even if you need to do extra quick moves like those.

Work hard, play hard!

Look at that!! Our feet Kicksed right where we intended to, just wonderful! No slips, no instability, no wobbliness. Just the Adidas Adidas X Yeezy cushion Runner Ochre Ochre Brown Men Us 8-13 Gw33 biting the court like a lion!

If we look at the sole closely, it has 3 different pivot discs. This means that we can pivot easily with them right before or after passing. This comes in really handy for pivots, as many of their moves posting up rely on this kind of turning motion.

Adidas Adidas X Yeezy cushion Runner Ochre Ochre Brown Men Us 8-13 Gw33 sole

It's true that pivots are usually tall and heavy (not all of them, though). And this shoe does not have the plushiest sole out there to support heavier players or their jumping. Still, its platform is wide enough to keep them safe, so it's not like we totally advise these types of players to stay away from this pair!

But not only pivots are gonna love it. Look at its multidirectional pattern right there. Can you see those waves? That means that you can easily try many types of cuts, steps in, and steps back with it.

And it's usually guards and forwards who go for these quick and unexpected moves!

So whichever position you play, don't hesitate and give it a shot! (Like, literally!).

Tongue padding

Even though the padding of the Adidas X Yeezy cushion Runner Ochre Ochre Brown Men Us 8-13 Gw33's tongue got a lower score than average, we didn't feel any tongue bits or hotspots when we were having fun in the court.

Adidas Adidas X Yeezy cushion Runner Ochre Ochre Brown Men Us 8-13 Gw33 Tongue padding

You might see this as a disadvantage, but let's think about it twice.

In the previous tests, this shoe got a lower-than-average breathability but a higher-than-average weight. In fact, if you recheck the video of this first test, you can see that the smoke is actually coming out from the shoe in the tongue section.

So, in order to keep things balanced, its designer probably decided to include less padding in the tongue.

Smart move, Adidas!

The tongue of this shoe is what we call bootie type.

adidas harden stepback 3 tongue gusset type 20601119 main

It's attached to the sides but not all the way up, and it has a loop in the middle to offer a lock-in feel. Even though it's not an incredibly padded tongue, it hugs your feet comfortably and it doesn't move around.

We can see the different loops, as we mentioned before, right in the middle of the tongue and a little bit up, and on the sides and at the beginning of the toebox.

Apart from being very stylish, these pieces will also make sure the shoe's laces wrap around your fit nicely and safely.

This shoe has 2 finger loops at the back. Even though the small one is there probably just to look cute (and it really does) we've found this very helpful.

Like, imagine your feet are already swollen because of the heat. Or worse... you're late for training and that means you gotta run suicide drills. You're most likely thinking: "Oh, please, no. Just no, anything but that!".

Anyone who has tried that exercise knows how incredibly exhausting it is. So, even though this pair has a big opening, that might not be enough to put it on in a rush. This is where the finger loop shines! Hurry up, put your feet inside, and start pulling.

Let's make running out of time also running away from punishments!
