Jordan Zion 1
This is Zion Williamson's first signature shoe at the age of 20. It is a great achievement for the 2019 No.1 pick. There are four colourways for this shoe and each one represents part of Williamson's personality and life story. The Noah colour way is all about his little brother Noah. The Marion colourway is all about the places that shaped him like south Carolina and his Middle school we his Mum coached him. The black and white Gen Zion is classic and uncomplicated. The ZNA has a cosmic design that represents the "crossover of being out of this world, but also down to earth." There is one unifying design element that ties all four colourways together and makes them uniquely Zion: the famous Z on the side of each shoe, which is purposely similar to the Z that Zion has shaved into the side of his head. The Z is functionally innovative and was created to harness power in the heel and enable speed in the forefoot perfect for Zion's playing style. Unfortunately at the moment i can not give a full performance review as i do not have the shoe yet.

KD 14
The traction of the KD14 provides a ton of grip on clean courts and doesn't have much trouble with dusty courts either. The Zoom Strobel and Cushlon midsole provide a perfect mix of comfort, impact protection, and responsiveness. Materials feel a little cheap but they are comfortable on foot. The wide base and reinforcement provides a lot of lockdown and support. The fit should work for most players unless you have super wide feet. Overall, the KD14 is a slight improvement over the KD13 and a great performer that is absolutely worth the $150 price tag.

Zoom Freak 3
The traction on the Zoom Freak 3 is improved and works well on clean courts. wiping will be necessary if you play on dusty courts and the outsole is durable enough for outside. There is minimal cushioning with full length foam and Zoom Air in the forefoot but gives great court feel. The upper material provides a comfortable fit and there is great support throughout the shoe. A mid-foot strap has been added and it provides superb lockdown through the shoe. Overall the Zoom Freak 3 is an affordable shoe that offers a good amount for the price

Kyrie 7
The traction works well on clean courts but on dusty courts, you will need to wipe from time to time being a slight downgrade from the Kyrie 6. The Zoom Turbo unit in the forefoot is responsive and bouncy with nice court feel. The cushioning in the heel is better than in the Kyrie 5 and 6. The materials are more minimal than the Kyrie 6 with no forefoot strap but keep a high performance. The support is very good for lateral movements with decent ankle support. Overall the Kyrie 7 is a great overall performer with some upgrades over the Kyrie 6.

Lebron 18
The traction on the Lebron 18 is very good with a good bite and very little slipping. The only downside was that parts of the outsole picked up a lot of dust. The cushioning three layers of cushioning: a Cushioned midsole, a rear Air Max unit, and a full length Zoom Strobel. This provides insane impact protection but because of this you do lose some court feel. The knit materials feel very premium but the tongue can be uncomfortable for some people. The support is okay having no heel slippage but little lateral containment. Overall it is a good shoe with good materials and maybe the best cushioning you can find.

PG 5
The traction on the PG 5 is other-worldly. it grips really well with a nice bite. For the cushioning its has a full length Phylon midsole along with a full length Zoom Air Strobel which provides good impact protection and better court feel than in previous PG models. The mesh materials look and feel cheap but get the job done performance-wise. There is good support and lockdown due to the wide base and nice outrigger. Overall the PG 5 is a great all-round performer and is decent value for the price.
