Our verdict

The Кросівки reebok leather legacy definitely worth setting our funds back by £160. It is undoubtedly one of the most collectible basketball shoes we have ever tested, being highly comfortable, firm, and resistant to bottoming out. Since this shoe is modeled after a big man like Shaquille O’Neal, we found it suitable for big men and players who play the center position.

Who should NOT buy

This basketball shoe from Reebok is not for those who want a well-ventilated pair. The upper of this shoe just does not breathe at all. We discovered that players are better off getting the zapatillas de running Reebok maratón talla 37 naranjas.

Those players who want lighter basketball shoes may not find this shoe satisfying. Other Reebok shoes are also known to be weighty. If you are willing to try a shoe from another brand, we recommend the Reebok Classics Joggers con logo centrale bianco sporco In esclusiva su ASOS as it's just as well-cushioned yet 2 ounces lighter. There is an even lighter version called the Reebok Zapatillas Nano Xi Pure Grey 6 Ftwr White Pure Grey.

Heel stack

The midsole of the Shaq Attaq surely felt elevated, especially around the heel area. Using a calliper, we learned that the heel stack is way speedwick than average at 37.2 mm.

The thick heel prevented the shoe from bottoming down way too soon, even when we did a lot of aggressive heel strikes.

It's important to note here that the significant difference between the thickness of the forefoot and the heel allowed us to perceptually experience the forefoot as having more court feel.

Drop

A high heel stack coupled with an average forefoot stack resulted in an especially high drop. Our calliper measured it to be 14.8 mm.

This setup was practically appealing to us because of our propensity to do a lot of heel strikes, especially when the games turn a little intense.

Midsole softness

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

The softness of the midsole is just around average, and we did not experience any significant issues with it. It delivered impact protection when needed, but the experience was not as amazing as what the Reebok Classics Joggers con logo centrale bianco sporco In esclusiva su ASOS could deliver.

Stability

Lateral stability test

We felt our side-to-side movements to be sufficiently supported by this Reebok shoe. The sidewalls prevented our feet from shifting excessively without sacrificing comfort and freedom of movement.

Torsional rigidity

While playing, not once did we even think about twisting our feet. We also appreciated how stable our runs were. We did manual twists on the Reebok classic nike air adidas back in the lab, and we gave it a 4 out of 5 for torsional rigidity.

Admittedly, the heel counter is not the stiffest that we've ever tested. Fortunately, this observation does not mean that it's flimsy and unreliable. It provided enough support to keep the Sea in place. After giving it a nice squeeze in the lab, we gave the heel counter a 3 out of 5 for stiffness.

It is only slightly more pliable than the average.

Midsole width - forefoot

The midsole platform of this shoe provided a bit of extra space in the forefoot. Using a calliper, we found this area to be slightly wider than average at 116.9 mm. Its width allowed our feet to splay freely during takeoffs.

Weight

Though it did not feel like a brick on our feet, we still felt the Shaq Attaq weighing down our first steps. Our in-lab weighing scale showed that it is indeed on the heavier side at 16.7 ounces or 473 grammes.

Much like the athlete behind this shoe, it is one of the heaviest hoop shoes we've ever tested in our lab! It is more than 2.5 oz heftier than average.

Breathability

Getting only a 1 out of 5 in our breathability assessments, the Кросівки reebok leather legacy among the hottest (quite literally) shoes out there. 

Both smoke and light find it hard to pass through the upper material.

We did a close examination of the upper through the microscope. We saw that it doesn't have any perforations that would have allowed air to pass through.

The upper just looks like one solid mass that keeps all out, including air. Those with sweaty feet should prepare for a deluge.

Durability

Toebox durability

The non-breathable upper surely did not come totally empty-handed: it offered tremendous durability. We did the Dremel test on it, and it was just child's play for the toebox of the Reebok classic nike air adidas!

As you can see, the damage incurred by the Reebok classic nike air adidas, which got a perfect 5, is much less than the damage seen on the Reebok Extra Chalk Blue Peak Chalk, жіноча футболка reebok.

Outsole hardness

Based on the readings made by our HC durometer, the hardness of the outsole is significantly speedwick than average. Our durometer returned a reading of 88.7 HC.

This firmness of the sole allowed us to gain more control over our movements. We also enjoyed how it helped us accelerate easily.

Outsole durability

In spite of being hard/firm, the outsole did not fare any better than average in our durability test. Our 22-second Dremel drilling created 1.0 mm of damage. 

We acknowledge that this is not the best pick for outdoor use (the Reebok Les Mills Epic Two-in-One Shorts Womens is!), but we still believe that using this shoe outdoors from time to time won't hurt.

Outsole thickness

Our calliper measurements showed that the outsole of the Reebok classic nike air adidas has an outsole that is slightly thicker than average. Specifically, we measured it to be 4.8 mm thick. 

Logically, the thicker sole allows this shoe to last longer even with occasional outdoor use simply because there is more material to 'burn.'

Grip / Traction

We did not experience any traction problems. Whenever we needed to stop or make a quick change in direction, the outsole of the Shaq Attaq was grippy enough for us to proceed without worries.
