Our verdict

The best way we can describe the Кроссовки puma basket кожа оригинал 40р кеды it's like a friend who looks small and fragile but is actually a skilled fighter. This shoe's very unassuming slender build and very minimal looks actually hide tremendous potential. We find it a pleasure to play in, and we think this is best for athletes who like to explosively sprint their way to the basket. If it wasn't for its frail outsole and upper, the TRC Blaze Court would've made it to our top charts.

PUMA TRC Blaze Court review

Who should NOT buy

The Кроссовки puma basket кожа оригинал 40р кеды a disaster on outdoor courts as it breaks down way too easily. If you want a lasting hoop shoe for that purpose, we recommend the PUMA BLACK-PUMA WHITE 5.5 37271201 Sold Out instead.

And if you need a shoe that's more resistant to dust, the Adidas D.O.N Issue#4 and the Puma Everfresh Футболка без рукавов PUMA Running Favourite Czarne legginsy.

PUMA TRC Blaze Court lab test

Cushioning

Heel stack

Measuring the shoe's midsole with a calliper, we got 29 mm of stack height in the heel.

PUMA TRC Blaze Court Heel stack

And while that's exactly the same as the average, the PUMA TRC Blaze Court feels thicker because of all the impact protection that it provides. It actually felt as if our feet were standing on a pedestal which did result in having less court feel.

Midsole softness

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

The PUMA TRC Blaze Court has a firmer type of cushioning. Our durometer shows a reading of 32 HA. This is 15% firmer than the average of our tested basketball shoes. However, the shoe doesn't feel dull at all!

PUMA TRC Blaze Court Midsole softness

On the court, the TRC Blaze behaved exceptionally bouncy and responsive. We attribute that to the unique design of the midsole which features a stiff shank and a series of wavy hollows. Apparently, it helps to create a springboard-like effect.

It all made jumping in this PUMA shoe super easy and almost effortless.

Toebox width - widest part

Measuring the widest part of the shoe's toebox, our calliper shows 95.7 mm. This is a few millimetres narrower than average but it still fits our medium-width feet well.

But we did find it to be more of a one-to-one fit rather than a roomy one. So, players with wide feet are recommended to get at least half-a-size bigger.

Stability

Lateral stability test

This PUMA basketball shoe boasts a high level of support and stability. There is plenty of sturdiness in the shoe's sole and the upper is reinforced with rubber overlays as well.

Puma Everfresh Футболка без рукавов | Torsional rigidity

Testing the shoe's torsional rigidity in our manual test, it feels very unforgiving. Attempting to twist the shoe sideways, we rated its level of stiffness as 4/5.

The stiff shank, firm cushioning, and raised sidewalls all work to create a highly stable base for various movements. Never once did we feel as if our ankles were going to roll.

The heel-to-toe transitions feel very smooth in the PUMA TRC Blaze Court. We believe that's because of the midsole curvatures as well as the shoe's forefoot flexibility.

We tested the latter with the help of a force gauge. It took 31.2N to bend the shoe to a 90-degree angle. This is 34% less than it takes on average.

But when on the court, it feels even lighter than that! This PUMA shoe allowed us to accelerate without being held back.

Breathability

Based on our breathability test, the PUMA TRC Blaze Court doesn't let the heat escape so easily. Pumping smoke through the shoe's upper, it was barely passing through. On a 1-5 scale, where 5 is the most breathable, we rated this PUMA shoe as only 2/5.

We also put the shoe against a bright light and found that it has ventilation panels on the sides. This is the most transparent part of the shoe's upper. But apparently, these are not enough to help with better aeration.

In addition, the toebox material is woven extra-tightly on this PUMA shoe.

Durability

Outsole hardness

With a durometer reading of only 69.4 HC (16% softer than average), this is one of the softest outsoles we've seen in our lab!

Outsole thickness

PUMA did try to compensate for the softness with a super thick outsole. Using a calliper, we measured the rubber thickness at 5.8 mm (waaay thicker than average!).

While it helps with the shoe's overall longevity, it still doesn't help the thin treading lines last longer.

Upper materials

In our opinion, PUMA went for some really cheap upper materials, even for a £120 shoe.

Not only do they look cheap, they are in fact extremely frail. The laces look as if they were taken out of a £20 Walmart sneaker!

PUMA TRC Blaze Court laces

We actually think that the "quality" of materials on the TRC Blaze Court can be a deal-breaker that undermines all the other things that this basketball shoe does so well!

Misc

Grip / Traction

Even though the shoe's outsole is too frail for the outdoors, its performance is phenomenal indoors!

The Suit treads form a very efficient pattern for stopping on a sixpence and changing directions quickly. No matter where we took our next step, there were a number of tread lines facing that direction.

But like many basketball shoes, the Кроссовки puma basket кожа оригинал 40р кеды sensitive to dust. Because of its soft and sticky rubber, the shoe's outsole picks up quite a lot of dust easily.

Tongue padding

The tongue of the TRC Blaze Court is among the thickest we've seen! Our calliper shows 12.9 mm which is (wow!) 3.5 mm thicker than average!

That's one of the features that makes the shoe's interiors feel so extremely comfortable.

Tongue: gusset type

Discovering a semi-gusseted, or partially attached, tongue was a nice surprise. That doesn't usually happen in more affordable shoes.

We received plenty of foot containment from the PUMA TRC Blaze Court and that is in part thanks to the gussets.
