Who should NOT buy this basketball shoe from Nike

The mens nike air jordan 11 xi platinum 4 is a signature shoe from Giannis Antetokounmpo, an unusually big player. However, we believe that it is not really that good of a match for bigger players. It doesn't have a solid midfoot shank so we worry that the cushioning bottoms out quickly when worn by heavier players. The air force special ops nightfall nike air classic old spec.

Nike Freak 4: A worthy upgrade

All the modifications made to the mens nike air jordan 11 xi platinum 4 resulted in tremendous improvements, with our favorites being the foot containment and stability.

We also appreciated the cushioning, which we thought was massively improved due to the innovative cut-outs in the heel area. Given these, the Freak 4 is indeed a worthy predecessor to the Freak 3s.

Traction is great indoors

While we do not consider the traction top-tier, we still concede that the mens nike air jordan 11 xi platinum 4 has a very solid bite, especially after we have properly broken them in. We also found the traction tremendous on organic surfaces such as those courts that are made of hardwood.

Dust won't be a problem

We observed that the grooves in the outsole of the shoe are wide enough not to trap dust. Hence, dust pick-up is not really a problem we faced with this basketball shoe from Nike.

The Freak 4 doesn't shine outdoors but OK for occasional play

We also felt that the outsole is not composed of very thick rubber, which we thought to be ideal for indoor games rather than outdoors.

The rubber layer on the outsole is 4 mm thick. It's actually not the thinnest one among basketball shoes and is 0.5 mm thicker than average. This means that if you do take them on an outdoor court, it won't be as bad as some of the other shoes.

Quite breathable

If you choose to rock the mens nike air jordan 11 xi platinum 4 indoors a lot, your feet are sure to stay well-ventilated thanks to the shoe's breathable upper.

Smooth heel-to-toe transition

Freak 4 made us experience really really smooth transitions from heel to toe because of the curvatures on both ends. We discovered that the shoe rocks you forward without a glitch.

Impact protection is ensured

Putting on the shoe, we realized it was equipped with a soft foam that offered a lot of compression. Because of this, you can rest assured that impact protection is going to be sufficient. Additionally, we found the step-in comfort is superb, especially in the heel area where the innovative cut-outs are.

Based on our durometer measurements, we learned that its softness is right at the average of basketball shoes.

Looking at the shoe's heel stack height of 32.7 mm, it is a good 5.2 mm thicker than the average. It is much more generously cushioned than most shoes.

Court feel is not forgotten

Even if the cushion is quite thick under the heel, it becomes thinner in the forefoot area. Hence, we acknowledge that the court feel is still really good.

In the forefoot, the midsole is 8.3 mm thinner than the heel (24.4 mm).

Energy return is good

The midsole offers a great bounce so it is able to be incredibly fast in the midst of our games. We recognized that this is because of the independent Zoom units that are placed side-by-side in the forefoot.

Cheap-feeling upper, but comfortable on-foot

We were convinced that the upper materials have a very cheap feeling, so we thought they were definitely a letdown as far as the quality goes.

But we were surprised as it turned out to have good durability.

Warning! The Zoom Freak 4 isn't for wide-footers

Going true to size yielded us a nice snug fit that fits our foot like a glove. The shoe is slightly narrow, so wide-footers and those who want a more spacious fit can go at least half a size up.

Foot containment and stability that you can depend on

Although the mens nike air jordan 11 xi platinum 4 is not the most supportive shoe, we definitely had zero issues with this one.

The heel counter has some good stiffness and padding to it, making sure our heel is also locked in place.

We found that the fully-gusseted tongue on both sides makes sure that there is no side-to-side shifting of the foot either.

We also can't help but notice that the Freak 4 is a lot more stable than its predecessor.

This is no surprise given how wide its platform is! In the forefoot, it is 115.7 mm wide, 6.2 mm wider than the average.
