Puma TRC Blaze Court Performance Review

[@paljor._]

That small piece of traction also ripped off my first time wearing them. Seems to be a very common issue! Otherwise the shoe is great and I’d even argue it’s more comfortable than my MB01s and grippier than my KD14s

[@chrisworland7754]

Evan is a fantastic addition to the team, wonderful reviewer/tester/sneaker head

[@evanmmiranda]

Thanks Chris !

[@Chrislovesfilms]

The traction ripping isn’t a fluke, it happened to my pair too (different colorway) and I only played in them twice

[@bugz552]

Can confirm happened to me aswell within 5 "light" hoop sessions so it is a complete desgin flaw puma needs to adress before someone gets badly injured because of it. If the outsole wasnt prone ti tearing it would probably be one of my favourite hoop shoes. Traction is probably the best I've ever played in and the cushion is top tier.

[@ImJayy583]

were these on outdoor for you guys?

[@marcheezy.]

Saw this in another review as well. Can't recall if it was the Sole Brother Sammy Lee.

[@bugz552]

@@ImJayy583 i only played indoor.

[@bugz552]

Puma needs to recall these shoes as the traction ripping is a design flaw and has also happened to my pair.

[@JayzsMr]

The outsole ripping off is not a fluke . The exact same thing happened to mine after playing once indoors . Happend to a bunch of other people as well . Terrible durability

[@yeahmox]

A+ review! Evan is very entertaining. Salute to WearTesters team! PS. That dunk tho 👀

[@dmarr4941]

Thank you for the review. Great video! Sucks that the traction durability had an issue. I wanted to get a pair. By the way, the whole WT team is doing an amazing job. I still remember only seeing NW's hands when I first started watching. To see where things are now is very cool.

[@balltalkdeep]

my fav reviewer so far and bonus points for the Wade jersey

appreciate it

[@damiengreen5830]

Well done...very thorough...nice to see compliments given to the kuzma puma clyde all pro...love the idea of terry rozier wearing these along side melo...

[@allensmith9879]

Great review, I just got this shoe today. Yes there is a lot of foam and cushion and you are riding high, however it still moves, cuts and accelerates very well. People liken the a) court pro to the Kobe 4 great heel cushion very low in the forefoot. This feels more like the Kobe 6 to me with both adequate cushion from heel to toe but still quick & agile. Absolutely worth the $120 retail.

[@joshhutton9534]

Great breakdown! There are some really good colorways of these out there. Puma technically has a 2nd signature shoe coming out this year with the Stewie 2.

[@kingjulien9525]

Epic intro, Epic review, Epic Evan!!! ✊🏾✌🏾👍🏾

[@evanmmiranda]

Thanks so much :)

[@MrElmCity]

Nice review! The traction pattern reminds me of the Kyrie 4. I found those to perform well on both indoor and outdoor courts, with no issues around the outsole besides natural wear-and-tear activity. I’m still rocking the MB 0.1 lows and feeling those indoors. Keep’em coming. The whole team is putting out great content!

[@itwasmedio9198]

On r/bballshoes a lot of people have been posting about the traction ripping off in the exact same area. Mine ripped off on my first wear (lakers colourway) but managed to get a refund on them

[@FreakyFraser1]

Solid review. Was really looking forward to this shoe as I'm on my last pair of Clyde All Pros......but a friend complained his were ripping, and the comments section confirms it's an issue. Total bummer.

[@harmgoethals59]

Great presented review! Smooth and clearing explanation and analyses

[@TombKingTristan]

I picked up the Black Fives colourway in a half size larger than my usual due to being a wide footer. Loving it so far! Definitely feel higher off the ground than the All-Pros.

[@TombKingTristan]

Update, wish I didn’t after some break in time. Find I’m moving juuuust a bit too much. Loving the shoes. Definitely going to be buying another couple of pairs this winter!

[@lucamcsauce5661]

Did you have any issues with the sole on that color way??

[@R.Es1]

Dope breakdown and review Evan!! This solidified my feelings about these joints. Definitely grabbing a pair now

[@bugz552]

Dont. The outsole will inevitably tear away and you're going to have to return them. Its a common issue and puma needs to adress it.

[@burdphil]

I like this guy, good addition to the crew... 👍🤙

[@tnyce616]

I bought these for my son last year, and he told me that out of all the shoes he likes these the most (Clyde all pro, harden7, and Clyde all pro nitro) so now I’m looking into getting him the TRC with the updated outsole

[@RedBaron8698]

This is one of the reviews I’ve been waiting for! Great presentation. This one is definitely on my short list. Still on the lookout for Leek’s review of the Nitro Fusion Black Fives 👀

[@bugz552]

Take it off your shortlist untill puma adresses the outsole tear which happens to every pair.

[@RedBaron8698]

Puma released a newer version of the shoe that looks like it resolves the outsole ripping issue!

[@nenegortat5106]

3:40 the shoe is actually really low though. Check out foot doctor Zach’s review where he cut them open and he measured it it wasn’t that high

[@solarcentipede1749]

Damn, this is a great performance review!

[@brandm2023]

Not my favorite Puma to play in but the comfort off the bat was good. It grips well, no hot spots with the uppers but I did have to go up half a size. It's surprisingly stable for a shoe that doesn't sit low to the ground and isn't wide. I thought the cushioning would be better from all the reviews but I found it ok. It absorbed impacts well enough but I found the energy return a little dead compared to what I'm used to. Still a great shoe for the price!

[@Drew.Whitcomb]

Great review Evan!

[@michaelgemseyponcedeleon1526]

Yow ❤️❤️ My favourite channel when it comes to bball Shoes.

[@NGR101.]

That was the smartest intro I've ever seen!

[@LAdams-sb1hf]

The No Stairway, Denied at the end got me 😂😂😂 nice review as always from the Team!

[@rcofta]

I have also damaged the traction and some decorative decals at second game, but only on the right foot, even so I have played already more than few games (indoor only) and these are awesome, traction even damaged is top notch, maybe even better than my previous shoes that was Kobe 1 Protro (but Protro traction is not damaged even after few years of playing in them) Bought them for about 75$ - for that price there is no better option

[@jorgklatt396]

I just returned my pair for that rip!

[@shannondavis3338]

Joe Dolce for the win!!! Great review man.

[@RampagingChipmunk]

I got the wacky “lava” colorway just for casual wear and they are super comfy so far. Also they just released a Hornets colorway of the shoe last week presumably for Terry Rozier and a Chicago colorway presumably for Derrick Jones Jr. I personally am hoping for a Celtics colorway for Marcus Smart. I think this kind of subdued looking design would look great in white and green.

[@eddielim3909]

I’m waiting for a green colorway too, hopefully PUMA will drop one soon.

[@RedBaron8698]

Rewatching this video because Puma just announced that they're collaborating with Pokemon to release this in a Gengar colorway, and I'm 90% sure I'm going to get it.

[@AlayeDaaji]

Nice breakdown.

[@ArmandoJF33]

Props for the DWade jersey!

[@rossberlin149]

Great review by Evan and he is bang on. Shoe feels incredible. Great impact protection and support without sacrificing speed. Might buy a third pair. Puma selling them right now for $62 USD.

[@kalmkorn]

is it lightweight and bouncy?

[@rossberlin149]

@@kalmkorn lightweight and bouncy is a perfect description honestly. Definitely quality control issues like eyelets peeling off so don't spend too much. But I've consistently found pairs around $50 and I've bought 3 pairs because they are so much fun to play in.

[@SpecialJumpstyle]

My pair also suffered from the ripped traction. I will send them back immediately to get my money back...

[@Stevo8052]

I bought the orange ones for my son since all the reviews seem to be saying how great the traction is. He's on ice skates on the court after maybe 5 sessions. The traction is that bad. I scrubbed the soles before one practice and they seemed to be fine on a very clean court, but next practice he was sliding around like he was playing clay court tennis. I'm talking like 2ft. Ridiculous. I'm not scrubbing the soles every time he plays. Maybe it's just the orange compound that sucks. Picked up the Jordan Luka 1's tonight which get much better ratings for traction. Fingers crossed.

[@MathewFanta]

So what shoe would you say is better as far court feel and doesn’t have your foot as high?

[@k.anomah]

I believe kuzma has been mostly associated with this shoe in the promo stuff. I know in the USA they have about 11 colourways of the shoe including the black fives version which uses more premium materials. Compared that to the UK 5/6 colourways.

[@Re-InCarNation]

I like this guy’s review.

[@jonathancruz8449]

Great vid!

[@tilony]

The all pro kuzma is noice.

[@danielluong9480]

Had my pair for about 4 months now, exclusively indoor use and i've had no traction problems. But just found some mid sole seperation at the toe of one of my shoes :( Contemplating getting another pair though coz these are great shoes

[@siropderableskateshop763]

good review !!!

[@laixxjas09]

Shoe feels great and good traction, but had a similar issue with traction ripping off slightly closer to the mid foot area only after 5ish games. I didn't feel any difference in game until I actually looked at the bottom of my shoe...so not sure long it had been ripped for.

[@mhmrules]

NGL I busted out laughing when I heard Shaddap yo Face! XD I love that song!

[@erenaras6265]

Has been 7 months video has been released but I am not sure which one to go with. Those shoes, court rider 2.0s or rise nitros? I will be playing mostly in outside so I need cushioning, lockdown and durability on the upper material. Difficult choice

[@si_chrizen]

How is the fit compared to the Clyde All Pros? I have the All Pros on 11.5 but the TRC Blazes only have 11 or 12 in the Canadian Foot Locker. Not sure whether to go up half a size or down half a size.

[@noobnoob117]

How did you address the toe pinching in the pinky part of the foot?

[@faghiurageorge]

Overall, this is better than court raider 2? Thank you

[@Riz_Rizen]

Correction: it isn't full-length trinomic cushioning, it's only in the very middle of the heel and it's right on top.

[@WearTesters]

That’s a Pebax heel puck. The trinomic is the recessed portions of the heel and forefoot for added cushion during compression. Making it full length.

[@josuesanchez2522]

Evan the Miley Williams the red ones are not the s the same sole they not have the foam hole in the front

[@Yooooo91]

This was hella informal

[@MADN3SS]

Are these reliable for normal use ? I mean, do they break easily?

[@gianfrancoferrer9320]

Was late on watching this one. I searched for a review on this shoe coz i saw this at dick’s and tried them on one foot. The feeling of trying them on was interesting at the same time seems promising. And i was not wrong, your review concludes it for me. But yeah, the materials feel cheap. Great review man!!! Happy that you’re an addition to the weartesters team.

[@SkiidMark5523]

Just got the shoes in today and they look so sick!! I’m wide and flat footed (barely no arch) and these shoes fit perfectly even with my insoles. I’m quite picky with my shoes due to my fit, but these are hella comfy and bouncy. Can’t wait to try them later 😜

[@schpil-mvp3092]

its good?

[@Joao-mp7fg]

TRC Blaze Court or Dame Extply 2.0 ???

[@DwainDwight]

aren't they doing a Mac McClung shoe?

[@ryanflores2281]

How come we don’t talk about the lockdown of this shoe, seriously HOF rating!

[@mikenacute]

Outsole ripping off. Is it really an issue about this shoe?

[@blastu99]

the Trinomic cushion is not full length just the heel

[@WearTesters]

Incorrect - The heel has a Pebax puck in place. The trinomic are the recessed cutouts through the heel and forefoot.

[@ralph7077]

You’re in Spain?

[@LeonYuL]

Puma has been releasing good performance shoes, but their quality control overall is just trash

[@megagnarclips6386]

i think this shoe is good for volleyball.

[@altingashi4691]

Which one is better for me, the puma trc blaze court or rise nitro? I am 6'3 and my weight is 194 pounds

[@bugz552]

the outsole on Trc blaze will inevitably tear so dont buy them. Im not sure on the rise nitro but ive seen good things about the black five/paris fusion nitro being comapred to the clyde all pro if you're convinced on buying puma

[@dt-lg2oc]

Why do you like it more wats better

[@exandgr8]

Mine got no traction pattern ripping

[@bugz552]

How long have you used them? Mine ripped after the 5th session

[@ronsarmiento2797]

It will rip. Mine ripped at around 7 or 8th time i used

[@ronsarmiento2797]

The outsole durability it not that soft, its the pointy design that is the culprit

[@eyantv5715]

not squicky not buying
