Hey @RoseAnvil, apparently there was description errors on the Adidas website when Adidas first dropped AE1's and Harden Vol 8, leading many to believe it was a mix of both Lightstrike and JetBoost, but they soon fixed it and clarified that it was only pure JetBoost as their midsole cushioning setup.
Honeycomb is a common shape that strikes the balances of lightweight (less material too) and still structurally strong. I don’t think it’s a tie in with the athlete. Plus it looks cool
@@zyzzzzz-b8pthat's a bit over generalized it depends on purpose and use triangles, arches and domes are all shapes that are equally incredibly structurally sound that do a lot more than hexagons in architecture. You don't see a lot of hexagons in wall building support. A hexagon lattice has a bunch of different flexion properties when done in sheet form o and let not leave out cylindrical columns that are used in all kinds of bridge work. They don't use a lot of hexagonal bridge columns...
@@TheDanielscarroll A plane based structure is obviously what the discussion is about.... and arches and domes are not shapes.... hexagons are more structurally sound and efficient in terms of material distribution in relation to strength than triangles when packed together on a plane

Unfortunately it still says: "The combined BOOST and Lightstrike midsole is ultra-lightweight and adds outstanding energy return to your most explosive moves." in the description on the Adidas site.
The Ae 1 is actually the most breathable basketball shoe on the market right now so it may have thick material but the honeycomb with mesh behind it makes up for that. Allowing tons of air to come thru the shoe as u walk or run. The slipping u were experiencing wasn't due to the shoe it was due to having a dirty dusty court. Cause every other ball player I've seen review these say they have some of the best traction on the market. I mean AE plays in these, and he has one of the most aggressive performances. So, he is constantly cutting up and he has no issue with grip or traction. Now I did see people who wore these for outside or on dirty courts have issue but. That's with a lot of basketball shoes as well that are mainly meant for indoor use.
I appreciate that Rose Anvil has the grace to change the host during a new product ad campaign. The more of these videos i watch, the more amazed I become with what can be done with foam and other synthetic materials. Yeah they wear out quickly if you wear them all the time for everything, but they can really perform for a few hours in the gym or on the court. I need to exercise more often.
i actually think these have the best traction this year by a lot, i play at LA Fitness where i litereally only buy shoes with top tier traction otherwise i can't actually play and these in dust are incredible, far better traction than the Freak 5, the bron 20's , the sabrina 1's, harden 7's etc
yea I agree, I think the reason they said it was slipping was because the court they were testing on. Had a ton of dust and dirt on it but. If AE is using these and he doesn't have issues with slipping or rolling ankles, then they have plenty of grip. Also seen plenty of ball player RU-vid channels review these and say the same thing and say it has the best traction they've had since kobes, lebrons.
I’m more of a Nike guy but Adidas has been on fire regardless on your opinion of them. I like the futuristic vibe they have going e and every hooper I’ve spoken to raves about them. The Harden 7 in particular was everywhere.
To continue with the futuristic Adidas basketball shoe theme, I would love to see you review their first Kobe shoe, which is now reissued under the Crazy 1 name
I would suggest anyone reading this just to buy one pair and store it in their basement or whatever for 15-20 years. Keep it sealed fresh as fuck. We’ll see what type of money that will be worth.
You needed to rip or cut the outsole from the midsole to get a better look at the shank and see if the light strike is encapsulating the boost foam. The boost foam is obviously covered, not showing on the midsole sidewalls.
Melvin is off base.. the traction is phenomenal on clean and dirty courts as compared to other top of the line basketball shoes I wear under the same conditions. IMO top 3 all time playing shoe.
Not related to this video, I'm just wondering why an channel focussed on shoes doesn't mention Meindl. One of the best (if not, the best) hiking boots ever.

Have you reviewed a boot from Capitan? Looking through the archive and don't see one but could have missed it. Specially the Nashville rough-out, currently $295 with a 10% discount for new customers and free shipping.
That's strange bro cuz every other reviewer says the AE1 is the most grippy shoes that they've ever worn in their life so yeah I don't know about your dude over there.. one against many not good odds
Hey brother we want to see you do more cowboy boots from good companies that are accessibile like Black Jack, or Rios of Mercedes, and Hondo. or even a newly revived brand like Hyer who claims to have invented the cowboy boot. Even Rios of Mercedes started out in the 1800's making Spanish cavalry boots. Lots of wild history behind some of these cowboy boot brands
@@JerichoTheCity just because you like wasting money doesnt mean most sneakers are $120. that is just far from reality. while you're accidentally correct that most shoes are built like that, it should not be the case for shoes that cost more than 4x most peoples hourly pay.
you do realize most Nike basketball shoes, NB , Asics, adidas, Converse, and etc all use glue for their basketball shoes and when it comes to price these are the cheapest performance basketball shoes on the market that uses full length of boot. If u compare that to Nikes Kobes, LeBron's they are $80-100 dollars cheaper than competition that's why they say its only $120 because that's pretty cheap compared to plenty of other brands.
