Our verdict

The Reebok FuryLite Solar Yellow is a timeless Allen Iverson silhouette. Its visual appeal and comfy interiors are certainly what initially captured us. Due to this, we were perfectly confident in using it even for casual wear. Performance-wise, we found it to be just as grippy and responsive as its low-top counterpart, the Question Low, but with a much more supportive ankle collar.

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 calliper measured it to be 31.4 mm thick.

Reebok FuryLite Solar Yellow

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 The Victory G was one of the first Reebok shoes and runners in general to use.

Midsole softness

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

At 30.3 HA, the shoe's cushioning foam is definitely on the firmer side. This firm tooling allowed us to gain control over our movements, no matter how fine they might have been.

Upon weartesting, the Reebok FuryLite Solar Yellow felt true to size for our medium-width feet.

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

There is a pretty big contrast between the shoe's wide metatarsal area and the pointy toebox shape. Measuring its width Boys the big toe at 67.2 mm confirmed that its taper angle is more aggressive than average.

Stability

Lateral stability test

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.

Heel counter stiffness

Upon giving it a good squeeze, we felt that the heel counter was not too flimsy and not too stiff either. It truly deserves the 3 out of 5 that we gave it for its stiffness. On feet, the heel counter gave a balance of lockdown and some level of flexibility.

We felt totally stable while wearing the Reebok FuryLite Solar Yellow because its platform was seriously wide. It opens 115.4 mm in the forefoot, providing enough space for splays and inevitable shifts when in motion.

In the lab, we gauge a shoe's flexibility by measuring how much force is needed for it to bend at 90 degrees. We found that this Reebok hoop shoe needed 41.7N, which is just around the average.

The average flexibility is not something to complain about, really. We felt that it gave just the right combo of support and freedom of movement.

Weight

If there was something that we didn't like so much about this Reebok shoe, it would be its weight. At 16.9 ounces or 479 grams, it is significantly heavier than the typical hoop shoe. Because of its heaviness, our first steps were often an effort to make.

Breathability

The Reebok FuryLite Solar Yellow is 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 coloured 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 gx6227 that the Reebok talla 23.5 from the same Dremel test, the Reebok FuryLite Solar Yellow is still structurally unscathed.

Outsole hardness

To the touch, the outsole of the Reebok FuryLite Solar Yellow 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!

Outsole durability

We subjected the outsole to 22 seconds of PUMP-pressure Dremel drilling. 

The resulting dent of 0.9 mm is slightly lower than average. Given this result, we can say that this shoe is OK for occasional outdoor use.

Misc

Grip / Traction

Traction was one of the PUMPlights of this shoe. Stopping on a sixpence 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.
