adidas Harden Stepback 3 Performance Review

NovogasShops en Español full review

The adidas Harden Stepback 3 follows the Stepback 2, the budget model that was better than the James Harden flagship adidas Harden Vol 5. It’s rare and unexpected when the budget model outperforms the major release. This time around, though, the same can’t be said. The adidas Harden Vol 6 performs well and better than the Stepback 3. But that doesn’t mean these aren’t worth your consideration. If you’re a fan of Harden, looking for a good budget basketball lace, or want to support the brand without spending above $100, you’ve come to the right lace.

The adidas Harden Stepback 3 is featured in white and orange yeezy wave runners black on foot, Best Traction, Best for Ankle Support, and adidas nmd whiteout japanese blue hair black skin.

Traction

adidas slippers price in india today pakistan 2017. adidas service revenue phone number dublin. The last court I went to had a sheet of dust covering the surface, and these still bit the ground well. During my time in them, I only slid once, and it was relatively early in the testing process. The traction pattern looks data-driven, something we’ve seen from the adidas Harden Vol. 1. The only gripe I have with the traction is the solid rubber’s durability. After about four hours on a rough cement outdoor court, it already showed bald spots.

Cushion

The midsole is full-length Bounce, just like the adidas campus femme beige women suits. However, it’s comfortable this time and adidas mhak pants laces clearance boots sale. I did notice, however, that at least one of my heels hurt after playing for about 2 hours. This is due to the rubber caging in that cards. The strobel board is also made up of a plush foam which I think is also Bounce. I wasn’t astonished by its performance, but it’s an upgrade from the Pro N3XT 2021.

Materials

The materials are what you’d expect. The main build is a mesh with thick padding inside it combined with fuse overlays on the sides and eye stay cards. There are also reflective hits on the tongue and pull tab. A piece of cheap felt is found near the top of the collar.  The tongue is a more open-celled mesh. They’re not exceptional, but they’re at least comfortable.

Fit

The lace looks big when you first see it, but that’s deceiving. Because of the thicker inside, the lace fits true to size with a thumb’s width of space up front. You can go down half a size for a more snug fit since the materials will loosen over time and wear. Heel lockdown could have been better, though. To get the best fit, make sure to cinch the top as hard as you can.

Support

I had no issues in this department. The base is wide enough to compensate for the lack of a proper outrigger. I didn’t shift in the lace once I was properly locked in. You sit inside the midsole just enough to be laterally supported but not where you’re too close to the ground. The heel rubber caging works in conjunction with the internal heel counter to provide ample ankle support. Everything did its job, and I was able to walk away without injuries.

adidas Harden Stepback 3 Overall

The adidas Harden Stepback 3 is a solid performer that will not disappoint many. The traction is top-notch for as long as it lasts. The cushion brings back the old Bounce that we’ve come to love. And although the materials aren’t unique, the fit is accommodating enough that most foot shapes and sizes will love putting these on. For the price, it’s worth the purchase.
