ANTA Shock Wave 6 Review
Pros:
Incredible breathability
Lightweight and quick
Cons:
Not suited for wide feet
Less impact protection than other Anta shoes
Performance of the ANTA Shock Wave 6:
The Anta Shock Wave 6 is another solid performer in Anta's growing basketball lineup.
The traction performance is grippy, and the stopping power feels great. This setup is excellent for shifty players who play low to the ground.
This specific nitrogen-infused foam setup lacks impact protection but provides excellent responsiveness and court feel.
The materials are lightweight and supportive. This upper has excellent containment and breathability.
Fit can create some issues. The plastic side pieces cause problems for players with wide feet.
The same plastic side pieces combine with the upper to provide impressive lateral containment and stability. Support and lockdown are not an issue in the Shock Wave 6.
Overall, Anta's Shock Wave 6 caters to players who seek a lightweight and responsive shoe. The cushioning is light and snappy, while the traction plays well for quicker players.

The cushioning is decent at best. It's a bit stiffer than the KAI 1 because of the TPU caging. The court feel is excellent though.

The shoe has less foam, so there's less impact protection. This minimal setup feels more springy and stable.
