Куртка puma warmcell sport series limited edition review

Who should NOT buy

The Puma Black Quarry High Risk Red 10 $89.97 made of materials that do their job well; they just do not feel premium. Those who like comfortable fancy stuff are better off with the PUMA RS Dreamer or the Clyde All-Pro. These basketball shoes are signature offers, so we can expect them to be made of materials that not only feel nice but also look so good.

In our opinion, bigger athletes in need of more impact protection are not going to enjoy the Куртка puma warmcell sport series limited edition. Shoes like the Pantofi Enzo 2 Weave Jr 193165 19 Puma White Steel Gray Grenad and the PUMA MB.02 provide a much more generous helping of cushioning.

Cushioning

Heel stack

On paper, the heel stack height of the Puma Black Quarry High Risk Red 10 $89.97 30.2 mm, which is the same as most basketball shoes tested in our lab.

However, because of the four hollows embedded under the heel, the shoe feels much more grounded. As the hollows compress, the shoe gets closer to the ground, offering plenty of court feel.

For that reason, we think that this basketball shoe is great for sSweatshirt Puma Classics Relaxed Hoodie TR Zaino a sacca PUMA Neymar Jr Gym Sack 078837 02 White Dandellon Black Green.

In the forefoot, we measured the cushioning thickness at 21 mm. It is an average stack height for basketball shoes and doesn't interfere with the shoe's court feel.

Drop

Because of the shoe's dynamic cushioning, its heel-to-toe drop is prone to changing as well.

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

The Куртка puma warmcell sport series limited edition felt pretty bouncy and responsive throughout our playtest. This is partially due to the firm nature of its foam.

Stability

Lateral stability test

We were amazed at how stable and supportive the Куртка puma warmcell sport series limited edition feels. Those extra layers of material paired with a stiff heel counter and a firm base worked wonders for lateral movements.

Pretty cool that the PUMA logo works as a supportive overlay.

Our feet remained locked in place and we experienced no risks of ankle rolling either.

Torsional rigidity

The Court Rider has a very solid build which doesn't let the shoe twist. As a result, this PUMA shoe feels like one with the foot during intensive footwork.

In our manual test of torsional rigidity, we rated the shoe as 4 out of 5. This is almost as stiff as it can get in basketball shoes.

Despite its overall stiff construction, the Куртка puma warmcell sport series limited edition finds some room for flexibility.

Weight

At first, we thought that our scales were broken...but no, they weren't. That's how heavy the Куртка puma warmcell sport series limited edition really is!

At 15.8 oz (449g), it is a whole 2 ounces heavier than average! We really don't get how this PUMA shoe managed to outweigh even the Nike LeBrons.

We can't really blame it on the price of the shoe either. There are a lot of budget-friendly options out there that weigh much less. Take the Rihanna × Puma WMNS Cleated Creeper Fenty Suede Green 25cm (12.8 oz) or the Puma бананка nike мессенджер adidas сумка через плече (12.0 oz), for example.

Breathability

What may seem like breathable mesh, turns out to be misleading. We found the Куртка puma warmcell sport series limited edition to be a toasty shoe, both on the court and in our lab tests.

Pumping smoke through the shoe's upper, it barely came out on the other side. The only streak of vapor appeared around the tongue. For that reason, we rated the shoe's breathability as only 2 out of 5.

In the transparency test below, we put the shoe's upper against a bright light to show you that there are no ventilation pores in the fabric.

Durability

Outsole hardness

Ботинки puma c gore-tex.

Pressing our durometer against the outsole, we found that the rubber is only 72 HC (12% softer than average). For that reason, we do not recommend exposing the shoe to outdoor courts too often. Soft rubbers tend to wear out much faster.

There are budget-friendly shoes at the same price point that have harder rubbers. Take the Puma MTV RS-X Herren Schuhe for example.

We would say that the grip on this shoe is pretty basic. Nothing to write home about but also nothing to be concerned with.

Tongue padding

The tongue padding is super generous in the Court Rider. Measuring it with a caliper returned a whopping 12.9 mm! That's 3.5 mm thicker than average. No wonder the shoe feels so cozy against the instep.

Heel tab

The shoe doesn't make use of any pull tabs or finger loops. That's unfortunate because the gusseted tongue makes the shoe opening smaller which also makes it trickier to put the shoe on.
