Ant-Man and the Three Stripes are making waves. āš”ļø First look at the upcoming Adidas AE 3 are here and Adidas is clearly not slowing down. These highly anticipated shoes are designed to kick off the 2026ā€“27 NBA season and are set to debut around November 20, 2026. Best of all, adidas is keeping the culture at the forefront by maintaining a retail price same at $130 USD.Ā 

Performance-wise, the AE 3 has undergone a complete redesign to address the weight concerns of its predecessors. This is achieved by replacing the heavy generative shroud with a lighter minimalist TPU support wing layered over a highly breathable mesh upper. Beneath the surface, the tech specs got a significant upgrade, featuring Lightstrike Pro and a Boost+ setup for exceptional explosive energy return. Completing the look is a classic uniform wavy herringbone traction pattern, ensuring dominance on the court.Ā

Take a look at Reebok Shaqnosis Low in the ā€œMuted Mauveā€ colorway.

This low-cut reimagine of Shaquille Oā€™Nealā€™s iconic 1990s signature basketball shoe features a distinctive circular, swirling upper pattern. The pastel palette blends Muted Mauve, Playful Pink, Dream Purple, and neutral tan overlays across a mixed material construction of premium suede and synthetic leather. For performance comfort, it utilizes Reebokā€™s signature hexagonal Hexalite cushioning built into the midsole.

No matter where you are, bring the home court advantage with this incredible Luka Doncic performance!

The Jordan Luka 77 ā€˜Dayo 23ā€™ is a special edition of the takedown signature line, inspired by streetball culture in the Philippines and outdoor courts. It features a responsive Air Zoom setup, supportive dual-density foam high-abrasion mesh and a very durable rubber outsole, ideal for tough concrete and tarmac.

Is this a Takedown model from LaMelo Ballā€™s PUMA signature line?

This is the Puma MB World.01. It is a special basketball shoe rendition that comes from Pumaā€™s partnership with LaMelo Ball. Itā€™s a fresh take on LaMeloā€™s first signature shoe, the MB.01, with some cool space-age design, lines inspired by planets, a sparkly ā€˜shimmerā€™ toe and LaMeloā€™s signature wings and ā€˜1 of 1ā€™ branding.

Is the Joker 2 GT the BEST basketball shoe of 2026? šŸ‘€šŸ”„ STAY TUNED for the full performance review.

18/05/2026

The Joker 2 cushioning feels like a balanced performance setup. Plush enough for comfort and protection, but still responsive enough for quick movements. Great for players who want comfort without losing stability. The cushion setup works especially well for players who need knee/joint relief. Your knees and joints felt fresher after games because of the impact protection. It doesnā€™t bottom out easily for heavier players.
The Joker 2 uses a dual-density setup with CQT Qu!kfoam as the main cushioning carrier plus a firmer Qu!k Light foam carrier for stability. It feels bouncy in the heel, more responsive in the forefoot and protective without feeling mushy. The heel especially stands out because it absorbs impact really well during hard landings, rebounds, and longer runs.

ADIDAS OWNTHEGAME 2.0

- Materials: The upper contains a minimum of 50% recycled dual mesh material. There are small synthetic reinforcements around high-wear areas to provide a bit more structure to the soft mesh body.
- Cushioning: It features the LIGHTMOTION midsole, which provides comfortable, lightweight cushioning. It is highly responsive for on-court play without feeling overly bulky.
- Fit & Support: The mid-cut design offers decent ankle stability when laced tightly. It is wide foot friendly but it run a bit long.
- There is a molded TPU heel counter that does a solid job of keeping your heel from sliding around. For a budget shoe, the rear-end stability is surprisingly good.
- Traction & Durability: Equipped with a hard-wearing Adiwear rubber outsole. It grips well on outdoor asphalt or concrete courts and resists wear-and-tear effectively. so they are a great pick for playing basketball outside.

-The Puma Hali 1, Tyrese Haliburtonā€™s highly rated debut signature shoe,
-Thereā€™s Full-length NITROFOAM cushioning that may offer a balanced, responsive feel thatā€™s plush yet stable, making it suitable for indoor and outdoor play.
-It offers a substantial TPU mid-foot shank that will provides high torsional rigidity, while a widened base and robust heel counter enhance stability.
-The upper is a mix of synthetic and mesh materials that provide good containment.
Iā€™m thinking this is good for players who likes to be shifty and nimble on the court.
-The traction features excellent, durable, high-abrasion, full-length herringbone outsole that provides reliable grip, even on dusty courts.

Letā€™s discuss the traction on the 361Ā° Joker 2, its best feature. Indoors, it offers elite grip with a super grabby bite, allowing for hard stops and instant direction changes. Shifty guards and quick players will enjoy this traction setup. The outsole uses 361ā€™s Diamond Grip rubber, providing consistent grip throughout games. However, the shallow herringbone pattern can pick up dust on dirty courts, but it wipes clean easily. For outdoor use, the grooves arenā€™t deep enough for long-term concrete play. Despite this, the rubber remains durable. Overall, I rate the traction around 9 out of 10. It has an amazing bite and reliable consistency.
