Adidas Pro Boost Low Review
Pros:
Minimal and light
Very supportive
Cons:
Not as comfortable as other Boost shoes
Performance of the Adidas Pro Boost Low:
The herringbone traction of the Adidas Pro Boost Low is consistently good but doesn't offer the "stop on a dime" bite you might expect.
The cushioning is much firmer and more responsive than your typical Boost shoe but still offers decent impact protection.
The materials are pretty nice for the price point, but nothing too premium. Reviewers liked the elastic band underneath the tongue for lockdown.
The shoe is super supportive and reviewers had no issues here at all. If you need even more ankle support there is also a Mid version available.
Overall, the Adidas Pro Boost Low is fun to play in and a great deal for the affordable price.

The Adidas Pro Boost Low is now my go-to hoop shoe for 2020. The traction, cushion, and fit are topped by none. I couldn't think of a bad thing about this shoe.

Nothing stood out too much on the Adidas Pro Boost Low for me, but it performs like a beast. They were great in every category. If you're looking for a supportive, minimal shoe that you don't have to worry about than these are it. I'd 100% recommend these.

At $110, the Adidas Pro Boost Low is definitely a good deal. I didn't expect a firm, responsive cushion setup out of these, but it wasn't necessarily a bad thing. Overall these have you covered if you want to feel light on your feet and quick.

This is a great outdoor shoe and has good durability that will last you a while. Some of the herringbone went away slightly on rough outdoor surfaces but traction doesn’t suffer. Indoors traction was decent, but needs constant wiping on dust. The lockdown and fit was very snug, keeping my foot locked down, keep in mind these are not very breathable if at all. The cushioning is incredibly responsive and is firm at times, but breaks in to have some compression.

This is a great shoe to wear to hoop outdoors. The traction takes some time to break in indoors and isn't that great on dust. No issues on a clean court. The cushion is very lackluster. You'd expect BOOST x Lightstrike to be extremely comfortable but it's super responsive. Materials are not that breathable. Support was good. Overall a good shoe outdoors but not that great indoors.

The full herringbone pattern through the middle of the outsole worked as well as any shoe I own. I had to do some slight wiping every third game and I was good to go.

They use full herringbone traction here and I found that they had a very good bite on an outdoor court. I didn't get to try them indoors and am not sure how they perform on dust.

The herringbone traction is pretty good, but you won't stop on a dime. I had no problems on clean courts but you'll need to wipe a lot on dusty courts.

This cushion felt fantastic underfoot with a combo of Lightstrike and BOOST. This might have been my favorite cushion setup from Adidas in a while.

You would think the cushion would be very nice in these, but it wasn't. Court feel is insane, but you don't feel a lot of compression from the Boost. This is a mostly responsive cushion setup with decent impact protection.

I expected the combination of Lightstrike and Boost to be awesome but it's just not the case. This cushion setup feels pretty firm and responsive with a lot of court feel but I expected more impact protection.

These materials are pretty standard except that there is no fuse around the upper. The upper didn't stretch all, so the fit won't change as they break-in.

The wide base and angled flare provide a lot of stability. The Lightstrike kept my foot secure in the shoe without being bulky. These also have great arch support and stiffness in the midfoot with true ankle support.

I had absolutely zero issues with the support. I was surprised how locked in and supported I felt in these. The wide base really helps with stability on lateral movements.

I felt perfectly contained in this shoe. Lateral stability and containment are good and you'll have no torsional or rigidity issues. The elastic band under the tongue really helps you lock in when combined with the laces.

There was no movement in the midfoot thanks to the excellent lockdown provided by the lacing system and the strong elastic band.

A tiny bit long, but overall a very snug fit which is how I like my shoes. The shoe stayed conformed to my foot and snug even after breaking in. I really liked the fit.

There is no dead space in the toe box and I found the fit to be really unique on these. It's like a one booty upper and it feels pretty good.
