With that said, we were inspired to see what this remix of the Air Jordan XVI and the Air Jordan XVII was all about. Therefore, we put the Air Jordan 16.5 through our rigorous performance tests. Click here to see why the majority of the Jordan Brand members are currently sporting this sneaker.

The 2009-2010 NBA season is finally here! Therefore, we are sure to see a plethora of new basketball sneakers throughout the year. Also, pay attention to Kicks On Court which begins tomorrow. However, seeing that the season more than likely starts very soon for you high school and college basketball players out there, we want you to prepared for the immediate future.

With that said, we put multiple sneakers through our performance test in an attempt to make your sneaker decision. You will see more sneakers in the coming days, however, the first shoe we tested is the Jordan Melo M6. Obviously, this is the sixth installment in Anthony’s ever-growing line. The Melo M6 has received more negative remarks than positive regarding its makeup, yet, you might be surprised how it tested.

This particular model debuted in the retailers this month; however, we first spotted it during the 2009-2010 NBA season, namely on Chicago Bulls guard Kirk Hinrich’s feet. Obviously, the aforementioned Weapon was one of the better basketball sneakers of the 80s; yet, can the Weapon EVO be one of Converse’s standout sneakers for the latter part of the 2000’s? With that said, we put the Weapon EVO through multiple performance tests to see how it would respond. Click here to view its grade plus the various colorways it has recently released in.

The Nike Zoom Sharkalaid takes inspiration from the classic Nike Air Raid, one of the most durable outdoor court shoes to ever hit the blacktop, as well as the Zoom Sharkley. Technology updates come in the form of a Phylon midsole and Zoom Air Unit in the heel.

Summertime brings out more heads than usual to the local park, so durability is a must when it comes to summer basketball shoes. After seeing the Jordan Element score well in that department, and being a fan of the original Air Raid, I was anxious to see how well these kicks did in the hot summer sun.

As we all know, streetball is nothing less than a ritual throughout the United States, let alone the entire world, year in and year out. Each summer, Jordan Brand releases multiple outdoor sneakers exclusively designed for the rigors of the outdoor playgrounds. One of the outdoor designs created for this summer season is this Jordan Element. Although we first spotted this particular sneaker on Ray Allen’s feet towards the end of the 2008-09 NBA, many sneaker enthusiasts really took a liking towards it upon seeing it as a part of the Quai 54 x Air Jordan “Ruff & Tuff” Pack.

We put the Jordan Element through indoor and outdoor performance tests to see how it could handle both elements of play. Click here to see how Jordan Element performed.

The True Flight has only been seen on the feet of Josh Howard this season in our Kicks On Court series, but the silhouette and performance upgrades, it’s surprising. We did recently see a couple new PE Colorways though, so more on court action should be on its way.

My first impression lacing these kicks up, is pure comfort. The Huarache-like inner sock liner and Zoom Air feels good, no questions about it. The ankle area above the sock liner does not have padding which is the only thing about the shoe I could see as a possible downside thus far.
