So I have been told that the D Rose 6 PrimeKnit glows in the dark.
But from my experience...
...This Shit doesnt even glow at all!
But when it comes to performance these are an absolute beast.
Lets not waste any more time and jump right in to the D Rose 6 All Star version, or A.K.A.
the PrimeKnit version performance review.
As you guys may already know, there are a number of things that I really really like
about the DRose 6 however there is also a number of things that I disliked about the
DRose 6 PrimeKnit.
So let us start the review by going over the things that I like about the DRose 6 PrimeKnit,
or the DRose 6 All Star.
First off, its traction.
The traction on the D Rose 6 PrimeKnit is exactly the same as its regular versions.
Which is like the non-PrimeKnit versions.
Simply put the traction on the D Rose 6 PrimeKnit is absolutely excellent.
In the past couple of years, there has been a couple of shoes that really excelled in
terms of traction.
One of them obviously is Kobe 9.
Another one is the Jordan 28.
and the third one I would say is the Curry 2.
If those three shoes are up here, D Rose 6 is right here.
Its not quite here yet, but its very very close.
Personally I have played in these on dusty courts, on clean courts, and...I havent played
outside because I dont want to bring this shoe outside because the traction pattern
is very very shallow.
So I only played on dusty and clean indoor courts and honestly I am telling you that
the traction is beastly.
You cant really go wrong with this.
You can stop pretty much whenever you want to.
Now moving on to the next thing that I really enjoyed about the D Rose 6 PrimeKnit is obviously
the cushioning on the shoe, which is Boost material, Adidas Boost material.
If you guys havent tried Boost, you know this is something that you guys gotta try and experience.
As far as I am concerned I have not met a person that says Boost is not comfortable
after they tried it on so that should say something about it.
Going back to the cushioning on the D Rose 6 PrimeKnit, the cushioning is simply too
much for me.
I am not saying its not good.
It is good.
I really liked it, it is very comfortable, but you know for a smaller guard like me who
weights 170lbs its a little bit too much.
However the cushioning is freaking off the charts cushy, its off the charts comfortable.
I mean it is full length boost, so that pretty much guarentees that this is gonna be a hella
comfortable sneaker interms of cushioning.
However, personally like I said, it is just slightly a little bit too much for me.
But, let me guarantee you that it is hella, hella comfortable.
Now the main difference between this version, this colorway of the D Rose 6 and its regular
D Rose 6 colorways is that this upper features a full on PrimeKnit upper.
By this point, I am already sure that you guys know PrimeKnit is pretty much Nike's
FlyKnit.
Its a woven uppen.
However the downside of this is that you have to, absolutely have to, grab the right size
for you.
It might not necessarily be your true size, but you have to grab the right size so there
is no dead space.
I will talk about that somewhere in the later parts of the video.
Going back to the upper, the upper is very very flexible.
It is very very comfortable and there is no pinching, no hotspots what so ever.
I really really enjoy, as a guard, as a smaller guard who moves around alot, I really do enjoy
this type of upper.
Its just so free and lightweight, and you know comfortable.
Now I know that I have said that the main difference between the regular D Rose 6 and
the PrimeKnit D Rose 6 is obviously this PrimeKnit upper.
However there is one more thing, a tiny thing that they tweaked, which I think I end up
enjoying alot.
Which is the lacing system that they used on the D Rose 6 PrimeKnit.
The D Rose 6 PrimeKnit version utilize these little loops as your lace holes to pull your
feel really really down onto the foot bed.
This is the exact same technology as the Nike Flywire or Jordan FlyWeb?I believe thats what
its called.
Its all the same shit.
but the bottom line is this thing works great.
It really acts like fingers, or bungee cords, that wraps your feet down to the shoe to give
you that perfect one to one fit and to give you that you know tight fit that you are looking
for so you can move faster.
This is something that I really really enjoyed, especially when its paired up with like a
soft upper like the PrimeKnit upper right here.
It works really really well.
Alright my last and final positive, or the thing that I like about this particular colorway
of the D Rose 6 is that its pricing.
This shoe has gone on sale and on sale.
The price has dropped and dropped.
Personally, I only spent 140 Canadian on a shoe like this.
Thats roughly like 100 or 110 US.
Considering what this shoe offers you.
Considering its comfort level, 140 Canadian you..you..
I mean thats freaken cheap.
Like considering a shoe like this, that is freaken cheap.
Alright, the positives are over.
The fun is over.
Now lets knock this shoe a little bit and talk about the things that I dont like about
the D Rose 6 PrimeKnit.
Now first thing is first, this shoe right here, it is freaking as heavy as a freaking
African Elephant.
The D Rose 6 PrimeKnit is no doubt in my mind the heaviest shoe that I have hooped in this
year, and the year before.
Where is that weight coming from you may ask.
Obviously its all the plastic that you see around here.
I mean I get Adidas is trying to use this plastic cage to act as like a you know cross
strap to lock your heel into place, but the amount of plastic on this shoe is just ridiculous.
It is so excessive that I think its really not doing so much of a good in terms of performance
but a sort of a bad because this shoe is so heavy.
So you dont feel that fast in this shoe, if you know what I mean.
Now moving on to the next thing that I didnt enjoy as much on the D Rose 6 PrimeKnit is
definitely the sizing of the shoe.
When it comes to this shoe, this particular colorway right here, its very very tricky
to figure out what size you need if you are ordering them on line or if you dont have
the opportunity to try them on.
You know I got my true size for hooping shoes, but they are still kinda big.
So what I end up doing is that I..whenever I hoop in these shoes, I have to double sock
to get that perfect one to one fit.
I really really wish that when I got these shoes I should have went down half a size
so I can get that perfect fit without doing a double sock.
So if you are ordering this shoe online, be careful, I really suggest you go down half
a size.
It is hot as a MOFO in this studio right now and I am actually sweating.
The next flaw I want to mention about the D Rose 6 PrimeKnit is definitely how I dont
feel I can lace these as tight as I want to due to couple of reasons.
One this plastic cage, two this heavily padded collar, which is very comfortable dont get
me wrong, and another thing is this fluffy tongue.
This giant fluffy tongue.
Now with those three things in mind, I just dont feel I can lace these as tight as I would
like.
Which does hinder my confidence when I move a certain way because I just dont feel as
secure.
I really think if they get rid of all this plastic and you know slim this padding a little
bit, make this tongue a little bit skinnier, and then maybe I will be able to lace these
as tight as I want to and not worry about making a certain move and injurying myself.
The last and final flaw I want to mention about the D Rose 6 PrimeKnit, and remember
its only this colorway, the PrimeKnit version is that the shoe said it glows in the dark
right?
It doesnt really glow in the dark.
It does glow a tiny bit but this is probably the weakest glow I have ever freaken seen.
Now that doesnt play into the performance part what so ever.
Its just my personal, you know, picking on the shoe.
I would like this shoe to glow if it says that its gonna glow.
But overall, especially considering the price of these right now, I would have to give these
a solid 9.5 out of 10.
Its definitely worth buying.
Its definely worth your money considering what this shoe offers.
