Nike PG 6 Review
Pros:
Grippy traction
Plenty of court feel
Cons:
Slightly narrow forefoot
No Air cushioning
Performance of the Nike PG 6:
Nike's latest entry in the Paul George signature shoe lineup continues to deliver on performance despite the cushioning changeup.
Similar to previous models, the traction bites hard. It grips like glue on clean courts and still performs on dustier courts.
The switch to a React foam midsole is the biggest change compared to last year's model. Reviewers agree that the cushion provides responsiveness and impact protection.
The materials on the shoe are breathable and comfortable.
Support is also not an issue due to the lacing setup and outsole construction.
Most reviewers had no issues recommending the Nike PG 6 because it suits many different playstyles.

The Nike PG 6 is the best of both maximalist and minimalist worlds. It offers quick vertical movements with its grippy traction. Just be mindful that the cushion can bottom out quickly.

great shoe! the traction is great and only picks up minimal dust but it’s an easy wipe, bites hard. cushion is like walking on literal clouds it’s so comfortable and bouncy and that paired with the fit and materials make this shoe unbelievably cosy and soft for extended time on court. it might fit slightly long so those who like snug toe box i would prob go down half a size.
overall cushion, traction, and cosy materials make this show an elite performer and one of the most popular shoes in nba

There is a reason this is one of the most worn shoes by NBA players. It’s light on the foot, supportive, and the cushioning is great right out of the box. The retail price on these is impossible to beat. The two cons with this shoe are breathability and cushion durability. They run a little hot, especially outside on a warm day. If they accumulate moisture, they stay damp for a while. While the cushioning is fantastic, it does bottom out faster than shoes that pair react with zoom air units.

've been wearing these shoes for 5 months and they are probably the best indoor basketball shoes to wear right now. The traction is perfect, even tho it picks up dust quickly. You won't have any issues if you play on a clean floor. The cushion feels really comfortable, especially in the forefoot. I went 1/2 a size up and feels really comfortable on the toes.I wouldn't recommend them for outdoor use because it picks up dust fast and the traction starts fading away. Overall great shoes.

Pretty good, traction is insane right out of the box, cushion is really good for impact protection and responsiveness, I really like the materials, they are very lightweight and comfortable, the support is nothing special, but is not bad either, but is not a great option for outdoor play, I literally played only 10 minutos outdoor's with it and it already has some fraying, but overall a really good option for guards or even maybe a big who wants a lightweight shoe.

This is the best cheap
shoe I have ever worn for guards . The traction is unbelievable and I play in a dusty court . The cushion is great and you have the best court feel you can have . Also this shoe is pretty light . The only disadvantage that it has is that the materials feel a little cheap and you don’t have the best support for your feet . Overall I would surely recommend this shoe for shifty guards or athletic wings . You should try it!

There is no Air in this year's cushioning for the PG shoe. Instead, we have React foam. It offers a good amount of court feel and impact protection.

There is a full-length React midsole providing impact protection in the heel. It's more responsive in the forefoot at the sacrifice of some cushioning.

I wasn't expecting much from the cushioning, but the React held up nicely. It's plush underfoot, and it offers plenty of spring back.
