Comfort is King: Adidas AE 1

Do not go up a half size your foot will be wiggleing side to side, go 1:1 or go down a half size or try them on at a store

[@JamalMVPMurray]

Still considering which to buy: AE1 or Harden 8. Great review! But I think the shoe is full length boost without lightstrike according to clips already tearing it apart.

[@TommyLiu4]

True the Vol. 8 looks fantastic! Oh I see, really not sure lol on feet they do feel closer to a slightly less cushioned version of the Harden Vol. 7.

[@TommyLiu4]

How hard does the outsole feel for outdoor use? I love the BYW Select but the extremely soft tread on that shoe got eaten up instantly. Would love an outdoor-friendly version of that shoe. Thanks!

Not very hard/sturdy from the way it feels tbh - I’d probably stick to using these indoors.

[@t23random]

How is fit compared with Puma shoes? I generally wear TTS for MB’s, All pro nitro. I ask because I always have issues with Adidas sizing.

I saw the teardowns showed these have full length jet boost. So does the forefoot feel like boost or lightstrike?

Closer to Lightstrike - I’m not sure. Just from how they feel it’s like a slightly less cushioned version of the Harden Vol. 7 basically.

[@Wladislav]

Adidas Basketball had a great year. I'll take comfort over light weight any day. Great price too, for full-length jetboost.

[@Jancc23]

Went true to size. First of all, it's freaking hard to put it on! No joking. The tongue is so tight that my foot couldn't slip in. Secondly, the laces pinch the top of my feet. Are these problems unique to me?
