I remember watching Kobe as a rookie thinking “This is one cocky mf, he better be good” .Kobe Bryant‘s Mamba Mentality has been
well-documented throughout his 12 years with Nike Basketball. His alter
ego has served as fuel for other athletes such as Kyrie Irving, all who
have taken direct cues from Bryant’s hall of fame career.So many fans
will like the
Nike Kobe AD Mid sneakers .
So what is the performance? We will check it today .

As we know ,these sneakers monochromatic colorways ranging from teal
(honesty), red (passion), grey (detachment), purple (fearlessness), and
yellow (optimism). but for me , I like the grey one . it is seems a
little unobtrusive ,but this one match any color way if you don’t know
the color principle .

About this
nike air vapormax 2.0 shoes , it is seems very different than any other Kobe shoe I ever
played in. It provides less responsiveness and court feel than other
Kobes. It seems like after his retirement, Kobe wants a little more
cushioning and a more “old school” vibe from his shoes.For the design
,the unique features on the Swoosh branding is attractive.

For the material : Kobe AD Mid material is more a little stiff, maybe
the reason why of this kind of material, it is the suede material with
the leather ,though it is kind of thin.then we can see the Flywire which
more the wrapping .
The materials do take a few hours of break in to warm up and soften but there aren’t hot spots that pinch or flex
painfully so just play on and you’ll be fine. You do have a little dead
space in the toe box when you lace them tightly but it doesn’t affect
anything.
For the ventilation ,the materials are not breathable at all .Moisture buildup becomes an issue within the shoe rather quickly
because of the lack of ventilation, especial for the summer , if you can
not bear it , maybe it is not a good choice for you .When you have
moisture buildup within a shoe, and you have friction involved,
blistering is inevitable.

The advantage of this kind of suede material is that it have enough
support and stability . When carrying out some high-intensity reversal,
the uppers can work, but this type of upper has the disadvantage of
being extended.

Followed by a surrounded TPU, Kobe Bryant ad mid ‘s stability is great , the stability of this pair of shoes is really good.

For the lace system , it is nothing special , but it is easy to
adjustment ,but seem the second row of shoelaces will have a little
footing in the beginning.

For the cushioning : For the Kobe series’s cushioning configuration, I
guess a lot of people familiar with this kind of design. it is the
Lunarlon midsole followed by Zoom. for this price with this setting , it
is nice . But it seems to be worse than the previous Lunarlon of Kobe
11 EM.
However, this version of Kobe AD Mid is greatly improved. The full length of Lunarlon is relatively flexible, the forefoot is
slightly harder, but it is suitable for the design of guard quick start.
The Zoom’s soft bullet is moderate and the feedback is obvious. I think
it is a very practical and effective cushioning configuration in actual
combat.
The forefoot is all about offering a balanced ride that allows you to be quick on your feet while still maintaining a level of
comfort. and the Kobe AD Mid is more comparable to the Kobe 10 and Kobe
A.D. NXT rather than the previous Kobe A.D.

For the traction : Translucent rubber, it worked really well. But the
dust is attracted to this type of rubber, so you will need to wipe here
and there, but it was nothing that would hinder the traction’s
performance if you were too busy playing to wipe.

The outsole there is a very small outwardly extending corner which the
role is to prevent rollover, there can be a clear visible carbon plate
on the heel, then with the carbon plate supporting, this pair of shoes
is still very good resistance to distortion.

Overall, Ventilation and material quality are where the Kobe AD Mid’s
could improve. However, the cushioning is nice and the rest of the shoe
plays and performs really well. traction also great, it is worth the
price.Keep on looking at
