adidas adiZero Crazy Light Performance Review

[SuperCollin321]

@Imaketheding2 no it makes is worst

[kolazone4]

what's better? crazylight or Rose 2s.?

[TheLimanFirma]

Dude, please make performance review for AdiZero GHOST...Crazy snickers... Thanks..:)

[artrain49ers]

should i get these or hyperdunks

[jrepper98]

@Youngbloodiscoming 2.5 is wwwwwwwwwaaaaaaaaayyyyyy better.... i bought them have none of the problems this guy was talking about and is even MORE extremely comfortable

[IMakeTheDing2]

Would the lows help with the ankle rolling problem?

[DonteatMEHrice]

Would you still recommend this shoe for a sf/pf type of player even though with the problems?

[IIIbilly]

gallinari just had a chip fracture because of these!!!!

[Knightaa7]

i'm 6 foot 146 lbs athletic point guard who plays atleast 4 times a week and looking for a shoe that will make me quicker do you think this would be a good shoe for me?

[saschaheims]

lol you can see right through the sprintframe

[blazinasian1456]

I think the crazy comfort is pretty comfortable



[nightwing2303]

@Youngbloodiscoming - The 2.5 would be better.

[Miamiheat836]

@Youngbloodiscoming Adizero Rose 2.5 is already out, but I think Crazy Lights or Stupidly Lights are better for shooting guards and point guards

[jmxrawr]

i think you should just become a basketball shoe designer. you know so much about different materials and other technology.

[nightwing2303]

@jmxrawr - lmao, I dont know that much I just know what I like.

[101gamefrk]

i play the 3 and 4.

i'm 5'8" and 180 lbs.

would these be okay for me?

[nightwing2303]

@101gamefrk - For your size they will be fine but there are better shoes avail.

[jmxrawr]

i want to know if the mesh will actually last. i'm planning to get the low top versions but then I'm not so certain about the mesh

[nightwing2303]

@jmxrawr - Its durable but not very supportive. At least in the high tops.

[monsterdmx06]

@jmxrawr

I played with them for the last 2 1/2 months, 6 times a week. The mesh won't break on it's own, but if someone steps on the shoe it can break.

[thejjb14]

Are the Adizero Crazy Light Lows and different?

[nightwing2303]

@thejjb14 - Not sure, I havent had the chance to check them out yet.

[dinosauraids]

Overall for a point guard do you recommend the Crazy Lights, and if not which shoes do you?

[nightwing2303]

@dinosauraids - No i do not as I said in the review. I have plenty of review up so you can go through them and see which ones may suit you.

[Konger26]

The holes for the laces give me blisters for some reason. But only on the left side. Kinda weird to me. That's the only negative thing I found on these shoes, but they irritate that spot a lot. To the point where I wanna switch out shoes, and I wear thick socks. The NBA ones to be exact.

[A1kumar92]

I stopped my download when he said that its for indoor court only.

and i am not looking up this shoe anymore now!!

[ChilinVidz]

I have a size 10.5 and I weighed them and it was 9.8oz

[nightwing2303]

@ChilinVidz - strange lol

[FatalERRORDude]

are you gonna do a review for the Adidas Adizero Rose 2.5?

[nightwing2303]

@FatalERRORDude I plan on it.

[305Southbeach]

do they fit true to size..?

[nightwing2303]

@305Southbeach - Yes

[ThePreenon]

@nightwing2303 are they good for everyday wear?

[ShoeCollector3TV]

@Nightwing2303 i have a size 7.5 in these does that mean that theyre lighter than 9.8 ounces? And nice video

[kidmamba2]

i respect your oppenion... so how big of a difference do elite socks make

[nightwing2303]

@kidmamba2 - I will be making a video on those soon.

[websterAJ1]

great review , I got the shoes and I haven't played in them yet, now I will be more ginger about the way I am playing during the season

[nightwing2303]

@websterAJ1 - Thanks!

[iPWNxNoobz]

love the picture in the background

[ovomesmaraphfu]

I have one question-

Do you recommend this shoes or maybe HyperDunk? I had HyperDunk and I was really satisfied.

[nightwing2303]

@ovomesmaraphfu - I dont recommend this shoe at all so Id say Hyperdunk.

[antandsara]

When tried on the size 11 I couldn't get my foot in it at all but when I got a full size bigger my foot went in perfectly is that because how the foot is built or its just addidas

[nightwing2303]

@antandsara - mine fit true to size.

[kidmamba2]

@nightwing2303 i wear the same size mine fit perfict

[ovomesmaraphfu]

@antandsara I bought this and i couldn't get my foot in and then the vendor told me that the Addidas has smaller shoes so i bought 1 size bigger!

[carsonhuds01]

@antandsara adidas has different sizing measurements than nike or other shoe companys. I wear a 8 in nike and went a 9 on Adidas.

[boogy370]

@carsonhuds01 hey i wore 6 1/2 - 7 1/2 in nikes and 9 in adidas



[mf0526]

Excellent informative video, thank you. I have two questions -

1. If you do not recommend these shoes, what other lightweight (sub-11 ounce) shoes would you recommend? (Under $100)

2. For wider feet, which basketball shoes would you recommend? I'm a 5'11'' 175 lb. point guard, with a floor-bound game.

[nightwing2303]

@mf0526 - I have other reviews up that you can check out, all are pretty detailed.

[fizzlesaurus]

Would you say the reason for the forefoot instability/roll over aside from no forefoot containment is in part due to the lack of a protruding physical outrigger outsole like Nike does for Kobes, KDs, Hyperdunks, etc.?

[nightwing2303]

@fizzlesaurus - Its very possible, along with the flimsy upper as well.

[MsKori1000]

I just went to sports authority today and picked up two insoles the athlete with gel and the airr ones and i would reccomend trying the airr insoles in your crazy lights

[Dashiznit1997]

What basketball shoe would you recommend to a freshman basketball player who wants good grip and comfort as well as a decent looking shoe?

[bluesniperdjg]

@Dashiznit1997 to be honest, id recommend bron 9's. Yes, even I was sceptical when it came to the bron 9's. But when I played with them, they felt really go to ball in XD

[nightwing2303]

@Dashiznit1997 - Depends on what you are looking for in a shoe as far as its performance features.

[MaxJessaroo]

i mean they cool but damn these things ugly

[Braydent31]

@SK8Asian I wore the Rose 2 for about 5 minutes and found them very comfortable to run in. Stupid as it is, I can't wear them until Christmas though...

[MsKori1000]

whats this sneakerfiles thing you got going on

[nightwing2303]

@MsKori1000 - what do you mean

[nickakaumfan101]

the shoe is great with the crazy cushion insert, and still relatively speaking for big footed guys like me, the 9.8 doesn't go up that much and is still great because big-man shoes can get really heavy (nike unfortunately... =/ )

[brokenairguitar]

It doesn't seem like you're one to guess beyond your own experience, but could you discuss why you're the only reviewer that has found this forefoot/roll-over problem with the shoe? I was deciding between the rose 2 and this, but I returned the former for the latter because I was afraid about the 2's straps wearing out + the toe box being long. Do you mind also commenting on those 2 issues with rose's shoe? Much appreciated!

[nightwing2303]

@brokenairguitar - I really dont know... maybe its the way I use my feet or it could be that the other reviewers dont truly play ball... not really sure but I know what I had happen to me on multiple occations so I know it wasnt a fluke.

I felt the toe on the Rose 2s were fine, the straps do wear out eventualy but if you wait until the 2.5 comes out you wont have to worry about that.

[SK8Asian]

which do you think is better the crazy light or rose 2's??

[nightwing2303]

@SK8Asian - I dont recommend the Crazy Lights.

[mrmamamamamia]

@nightwing2303 rose 2

[aaadddrrriiiaaannncc]

yea that pitching hurts on my right foot it wouldnt go away thoa but it wasnt that bad

[nightwing2303]

@aaadddrrriiiaaannncc - Its wasnt bad at first for me and it would go away after a while, the SprintFrame is what really hurt my feet.

[aaadddrrriiiaaannncc]

@nightwing2303 yea the sprint frames what hurt but good shoes

[LamboTheRagingBull]

@imapimpyournot

[flightsimulater12]

I play all positions. I rebound, shoot and run fastbreaks mostly. What shoe do you recommend for me?

[nightwing2303]

@flightsimulater12 - You need to figure out what you need from your shoes and then go from there. Once you figure out the most important attributes then you can start looking at products and see which have what you need.

[KingRockets]

I sprain my ankle often, what bball shoe would you recommend for good ankle support?

[nightwing2303]

@KingRockets - You may want to strengthen your ankles and start using tape or a brace... once you do that then you need a shoe that fits perfectly to your foot.

[KingRockets]

@nightwing2303 Cool, thanks. Just out of curiosity what are your topic picks when it comes to basketball shoes?

[nightwing2303]

@KingRockets - I will do a video for that.

[KingRockets]

How's the ankle support?



[nightwing2303]

@KingRockets - Heel lockdown was just fine. Forefoot support was lacking which can cause you to roll your ankle.

[davenrai]

@KingRockets terrible dont get these

[Braydent31]

I'm assuming it goes away after a bit if it does "pinch"

[nightwing2303]

@Braydent31 - I dont quite understand what you mean. Are you asking if someone elses opinion on a shoe bothers me bc my opinion is different? If so, not at all... that is their opinion and I have my own.

[Braydent31]

It probably pinches a tiny bit seeing as most websites that reviewed it gave it from a B+ to an A possibly A+

[southernwildcat606]

i heard these cut your feet up plus you only can wear them for hardwood i would only pay 50 bucks for these

[nightwing2303]

@southernwildcat606 - They didnt cut my feet but they sure did hurt them until I bought a new insole. I dont recommend these personally.

[NBAMixerMan]

i have the crazy comforts and yeah it does pinch, i got the sof sole airs and it feels amazing. sooo comfy, but now with these soles they are about the same weight as kobe 6... im gonna keep changing soles here and there and experiment

[TheTraceurBoy]

I have kobe 6's and am looking to replace them- Should I get these or the hyperdunk's? I'm a PG but I'm a little shorter (6'3") so I can really move n' juke when I need to.

[nightwing2303]

@TheTraceurBoy - I dont support the Crazy Lights.

[CGeeSpot]

Dude whats is better for me?

SF- Hyperdunks2011 or this crazylight?

[nightwing2303]

@CGeeSpot - At SF, you would want to go with the Hyperdunk. They offer more forefoot support which you will need at that position with jeb steps, drives to the hole, post moves and all that good stuff.

[NBAMixerMan]

imagine this shoe with a 360 air bag!

[nightwing2303]

@NBAMixerMan - They wouldnt be crazy light then lol. They are very comfy though, without an air bag.

[NBAMixerMan]

@nightwing2303 would u recomend for me? i tried my friends on and it was sooo good but i play 3-6 hours every day in a gym. do u think they will last? and i am also flat footed (i will get the gel sole)

[nightwing2303]

@NBAMixerMan - I didnt think the Crazy Light had anywhere near enough support, esp at teh forefoot. There are other great options for adidas though so there is something out their that would be good for you.

[IMakeTheDing]

Do you think the stupidly lights are better than these. Preformance wise not weight wise

[nightwing2303]

@IMakeTheDing - They have more support so in short, yes. Weight isnt a big issue so long as the construction of the shoe allows you to do what you need to. Lightweight is overrated.

[AznDomination101]

can you please do a performance review of the adidas adirose 2? :D

[nightwing2303]

@AznDomination101 - Check my site, nightwing2303 dot c o m... Youre missing out if you dont.

[TheBaseballLiker]

@nightwing2303 yeah im sure you are, so many different basketball shoes to review lol

[Darkfang1997]

hey bro, if i wear an ankle brace for these do you think it will prevent a rolled ankle?

Also i'm buying new shoes but i cant decide which: Lebron 9, Kobe 6,Adizero crazy lights, Air jordan 2011,maybe even Hyperdunk 2011 . I play guard. Any recommendations for which shoe i should buy?

[TheBaseballLiker]

@nightwing2303 You should review these: Starter Cross Over Basketball Sneakers from Walmart.com

It would be kinda funny and you could see what it is like to ball in some cheap Starter shoes. lol

[nightwing2303]

@TheBaseballLiker - Looool! Ill think about it, I have way too many kicks right now to test... really backed up.

[moosie1245]

if i just want to wear these shoes just for school and not for basketball, will they wear out just as quick if i were to wear them outside?

[nightwing2303]

@moosie1245 - As long as you dont drag your feet you should be fine.

[Darkfang1997]

hey bro, if i wear an ankle brace for these do you think it will prevent a rolled ankle?

Also i'm buying new shoes but i cant decide which: Lebron 9, Kobe 6,Adizero crazy lights, Air jordan 2011,maybe even Hyperdunk 2011 . I play guard. Any recommendations for which shoe i should buy?

[nightwing2303]

@Darkfang1997 - I dont think it would help. The ankle area and heel lockdown was fine, the forefoot material was just too flimsy and didnt have enough support. Out of the shoes you listed, the Kobe 6 are my top pick. I havent taken the lebron 9s out on court yet, tonight I will.

[Princejabba]

"the cushy one" lol xD

[tiburcio9999]

so everyone can see the color of your socks??? buuuuu 

[Andrew6James]

would u reccomend getting these or are they too prone to twisting youyr ankle

[nightwing2303]

@Andrew6James - I personally didnt feel the upper in the forefoot had enough support. I never twisted my ankle, i rolled my forefoot.

[Aallarie]

wear an ankle brace...

[nightwing2303]

@karukehataha - I Dont have the adizero 2 in yet.

[pandaman524]

i know that there was a card saying that its indoor only but can you use them for outdoor also

[nightwing2303]

@pandaman524 - You can but it wont last very long. Maybe a few weeks tops.

[ctfxcshanedawson]

If you were to be buying shoes for outdoor use what would they be.... Thanks

[nightwing2303]

@ctfxcshanedawson - Soldier 3 or Hyperfuse.

[DrPimpin23]

when are u gonna review the adizero rose 2's

[OGjays67]

What shoe do you think is better the air Jordan 8.0 or the adirose 2

[nightwing2303]

@OGjays67 - I dont have the 2s yet so I cant say. Info on the 8.0 is avail on my site, nightwing2303 dot c o m if you want some info on those right now.

[Andrew6James]

adizero ghost?

[nightwing2303]

@Andrew6James - Prob not, adizero rose 2 for sure.

[mutton4ever]

ok so the only crazy lights that have d rose signature on the side are the black and red ones. so are say the black and white ones still considered d rose shoes?

[nightwing2303]

@mutton4ever - I dont really consider the crazy light D Roses shoe but the black and reds are the D Rose 'version' bc of the signature. Other than that there is no difference between them and the rest of the colors. If it doesnt have his sig on it then its just a team colorway usually, or one of those bright colored ones.

[MrGranters11]

@nightwing2303. Are these more durable than the kobe 6?

[nightwing2303]

@MrGranters11 - I personally dont think so. My kobe 6s Ive had since Dec. and they are still going strong.

[tonycapp1987]

please review adidas adiZero Rose 2 !!!

[nightwing2303]

@tonycapp1987 - I will be.

[Skittlesbaseball]

Is the outsoles tough enough for using them everyday inside or will they wear out?

[nightwing2303]

@Skittlesbaseball - They will last for a while, not as long as other shoes but they will be fine for a few months. Ive seen ppl wear them now when they purchased on release date so the bottoms are OK if worn only indoors.

[MrAirsoftdude6]

well what sneaker would you think would be the best one on the market.

[nightwing2303]

@MrAirsoftdude6 - There are plenty of good shoes but deciding on the best is up to each person and their personal preference.

[isamardziev]

The review itself is really through. I had 4 ankle injuries in the past and I was concerned after the Rose incident. I am thinking of purchasing either the Hyperdunks 2011, Air Shox Hyperballer or the Crazy Light. After watching this review I'll ditch the Crazy Light out of the choice. Can you do a Air Shox review, I am a bit of a skeptic about the mixture of Air Max and Shox tech into one. What should I buy the Hyperdunks or Hyperballer?

[nightwing2303]

@isamardziev - Thanks. I personally dislike Shox cushion... its not very cushioned and feels hard to me. Between the two I would choose the Hyperdunk, and Im not a fan of Hyperdunks either. 

[isamardziev]

@nightwing2303 - So you dislike both. What basketball shoe would you recommend? Like I said I'm looking to buy a solid basketball sneaker. What do you think about the Lunar Hypergamer?

[nightwing2303]

@isamardziev - I wouldnt say I dislike the Hyperdunks but they just dont suit me personally. A Fuse based shoe is def solid and durable. So the Hyperfuse 2011 would be a good option. The Hypergamer is something I am interested in since I havent used Lunar Foam since the Kobe 4 and Hyperize so I would like to see how Nike has improved the cushion. I will be testing the Fly Wade 2 which has the new Lunar so I will know after that.

[isamardziev]

@nightwing2303 - I'll have to wait a bit longer then. One more thing though. I've seen the 2011 Hyperfuse and I noticed that there are only a couple of actual triangles open for breath ability on the shoe, because the others are padded on the inside, that prevents heat to exit. Being the flagship shoe of the Fuse tech isn't it kinda ironic to have little to none breathable zones?

[nightwing2303]

@isamardziev - The ventilation is restricted and it sort of is a bummer... esp when that is supposed to be a key aspect of the shoe. However, it is still better than most shoes out there as it does allow the heat to escape, even if its just a little.

[nightwing2303]

@XxSynergyMechanismxX - They arent horrible but I personally liked the kobe better. If you wanted to try an adidas shoe Id go with the Ghost or the Rose 2.

[RomeDaHulk]

real talk... best grip in the world extra light but if u got flat feet its a no deal............. yo feet will b hurting for days... if u got flat feet get a new insole..

[MrAirsoftdude6]

should i still get the shoe because i was thinking about gitting it?

[nightwing2303]

@MrAirsoftdude6 - I wouldnt personally.

[jimmychanxy]

are you going to do a adizero rose 2 review? it look nice, but i am still deciding if i should get it or not. thanks!

[nightwing2303]

@jimmychanxy - They will be here soon then I will do a review.

[Ra1ndropz]

better shoe, these or hyperfuse??

[nightwing2303]

@Ra1ndropz - I prefer the Hyperfuse over the Crazy Light. 

[kekslul]

hey! what happens if i use the crazy light for outdoor basketball, will it get damaged or something?

[nightwing2303]

@kekslul - The outsole will get damaged and tracion would wear down very quickly.

[Walmart193]

Would you say that these are better than the Kobe 6's? Please let me know!

[nightwing2303]

@Walmart193 - No, not in my opinion... these were good in certain areas but overall it was a bad shoe.

[Walmart193]

@nightwing2303 Then what kind of a shoe do you most recommend for BEST traction for a indoor court?

[sk8bord007]

which shoe has better breathability?? hyperfuse, or these??

[nightwing2303]

@sk8bord007 - Crazy Lights are the best shoe for breathability, hands down.

[KaKa22dj]

are they true to size btw? or run a bit big?

[nightwing2303]

@KaKa22dj - They run true to sz

[Mzz321]

are these good shoes

[nightwing2303]

@Mzz321 - I wasnt a huge fan of them overall. They have some great aspects to them but not perfect at all.

[Mzz321]

@nightwing2303 what is the best outdoor shoe

[nightwing2303]

@Mzz321 - Ive enjoyed the lebron soldier 3, jordan 2010 and hyperfuse for outdoor hoops personally.

[Mzz321]

@nightwing2303 get the hyper dunks i swear you will like hem

[tiago33]

kobe was right... if you wanna break your foot, wear that shoes

[mjizzl3]

i noticed how you talked about wearing the "Crazy Comfort" insoles, what do you think about wearing both insoles in the shoe?

[nightwing2303]

@mjizzl3 - I dont know if I would wear them with both insoles. Itll make the fit a little tighter and you could have some slipping under foot that wouldnt be too great.

[MrBatboy12]

What do you think about the adirose 2.0?

[nightwing2303]

@MrBatboy12 - Looks wise I really like them, performance wise I dont know until I try them.

[nightwing2303]

@MrBatboy12 - Looks wise I really like them, performance wise I dont know until I try them.

[KaKa22dj]

is the adidas Stupidly Light the updated version?

[nightwing2303]

@KaKa22dj - Its possible. They look like theyll be better in the support catagory.

[OGjays67]

i love this shoe for its ventilation did you hear about the new ones? let me know what you think of them
