In terms of support and stability, it's also good despite of the laceless design. Otherwise, there is not much ankle support. The Adidas Next Level is probably the most futuristic performance basketball shoe currently on the market. The new Lightstrike cushioning offers a lot of court feel and responsiveness without ever compromising impact protection.

These run slightly large and it is recommended to go half a size down. Overall the fit is very good, but putting them on can be a hassle. Adidas has officially unveiled its newest wave of basketball performance footwear——The Adidas N3XT L3V3L. It was available since December 1st, 2018 during a 24-hour window on Adidas. com. In the past few days, the shoe has enticed fans with its laceless high-top Primeknit upper and exterior piece on the lateral side of it. But how on earth does the shoe perform? Well, it takes a little patience to know about this. The traction on the N3XT L3V3L 2020 was definitely improved from the first version, but still had some issues on dust.The cushion was one of the highlights as reviewers loved the impact protection and responsiveness of the Lightstrike cushion. The Adidas n3xt l3v3l 2020 features a multi-directionnal traction pattern which works well on clean court but suffers on dusty court. The outsole is also very durable.

The cushion setup features Boost and Lightstrike but provides only minimal impact protection. They are definitely more catered towards court feel and responsiveness. To sum up, it is so far the first sneaker going without laces and no exposed straps on market. It impresses me quite a lot in the wrapping——it is really really good! What’s more, the cushion and the grip are not bad, either. There is one thing for certain——the shoe isn’t meant for everyone, but surely, it would intrigue a great many people’s interest and receive a large deal of popularity. With lightstrike cushioning system under your foot you sure to have good impact protection and responsiveness. Under the Lightstrike cushion platform is the full herringbone traction. In other words, it is the traditional pattern that grips the ground very well. The outsole looks identical with the Harden Vol.3 in pictures though, there are distinctions of course. With this traditional setting, the shoe’s grip definitely would not be bad. In addition, there are 4 circular patterns in the forefoot whose practical use is better than decorated use. No matter on what kind of floor, the outsole hugs the floor tightly, offering you friction. For me, the grip it offers is sufficient——super-grippy on clean or semi-clean courts. But at the same time, dust is invited; hence, you’ll need some wiping sometimes. However, it is likely that it might disappoint you on outdoor courts for the rubber outsole is soft, resulting in damage easily.The traction works well on clean courts, but the rubber compound has problems on dusty courts - be prepared to wipe a lot! On a personal level, there is no much influence brought by the change and improvement in shoe’s appearance. If any, I should say the only one is the wrapping. According to different function, Adidas has divided the shoe into 3 parts——the forefoot, the instep and the heel. But the elasticity and ductility of the 3 parts’ woven upper are different. It is the middle upper that plays the most important role, so its ductility is the best while the other 2 parts are relatively weak. The traction on the Adidas N3XT L3V3L Futurenatural works great on clean courts but a decent amount of wiping is required on dust. They will work okay for occasional outdoor use.
