Cushioning

Heel stack

In the lab, we saw that the heel tooling is just as thick as what we usually see in hoop shoes. To be more specific, our caliper measured it to be 31.4 mm thick.

reebok Red Question Mid

What makes this part of the shoe noteworthy is the Hexalite technology that's embedded in it. This add-on helped with impact protection without putting on so much thickness. 

However, those who really want well-pronounced impact protection are still going to be happier with the LeBron 20 from Nike.

Upon weartesting, the reebok Red Question Mid felt true to size for our medium-width feet.

But when we took the gel mold out of the shoe and measured its dimensions with a caliper, we found that it is even a little wider than average at 94.1 mm. But that's not enough to tag this reebok Red shoe as wide.

Stability

The sidewalls are made of materials that offer just enough flexibility to provide support without being too restrictive. They made us more confident to do side-to-side movements and even make swift changes in direction.

Torsional rigidity

Because of the rigidity of the base, running in this hoop shoe felt safe. Twisting our feet became the least of our worries. When manually assessed in the lab, we were left with no other choice but to give it a solid 4 out of 5 for torsional resistance.

The Sweatshirt com capucho reebok Red Identity Logo French Terry rosa claro branco mulher a strong pick when it comes to breathability. This Nike shoe scored a 4 out of 5 from us when we saw that its upper material easily allowed smoke (hence, air) to pass through and escape. This rating makes this shoe better than most basketball shoes on record.

In our light assessment, we saw that light shines through the numerous vents in the mesh tongue. 

Using a microscope we got a closer look at the mesh and the perforations that contributed greatly to this shoe's breathability.

Durability

Toebox durability

The Question Mid offers a good deal of durability. While our 12-second Dremel test eroded the colored first layer of the toebox, it barely made a dent in the next layer. This result gives us more confidence in this shoe's longevity.

Compared to the damage that the Adidas Harden Stepback 3 from the same Dremel test, the Sweatshirt com capucho reebok Red Identity Logo French Terry rosa claro branco mulher still structurally unscathed.

Outsole hardness

To the touch, the outsole of the reebok Red Question Mid felt really firm. And this made us feel exceptionally confident playing on an outdoor court, even on a harsh asphalt one!

When we used the HC durometer to assess the hardness of the outsole more objectively, we learned that it is indeed harder than average at 89.9 HC. This is by far one of the hardest rubbers in our lab!

Misc

Grip / Traction

Traction was one of the highlights of this shoe. Stopping on a dime was never a problem and the tread pattern that is etched on the sole had multidirectional coverage.

This shoe's grip also did not falter on whichever surface we played. Indoors or outdoors, this shoe can bite as hard as it should to keep your movements grounded and well-supported.

Tongue padding

Being 14.3 mm thick, we can really say that the tongue is generously padded. Not only did the thick tongue provide comfort on top of the foot but it also enhanced the overall fit and lockdown of the shoe.
