Nike Zoom Freak 6 Review
Pros:
Reliable traction performance
Responsive cushioning
Cons:
Synthetic leather material feels cheap
Lack of a shank plate
Performance of the Nike Zoom Freak 6:
Nike's Zoom Freak 6 only makes minor incremental upgrades compared to the Zoom Freak 5.
Reviewers agree the traction performance is reliable. The outsole performs very well on clean courts, and regular wiping will help on dustier courts.
The cushioning setup feels basic. The Cushlon foam and forefoot Zoom Air unit are responsive, but the foam is prone to bottoming out.
There's no shank plate, so lateral stability and containment will only last while the shoe remains fresh.
The synthetic materials feel cheap, but the mesh is lightweight and comfortable. Breathability could be better, though.
The Nike Zoom Freak 6 is still a solid signature shoe. It features impressive traction performance players can rely on.

The traction feels good right out of the box. Wiping is needed because the outsole picks up dust.

The traction pattern performs at an almost elite level on clear floors. You won't run into many issues with dust as long as you wipe.

The Cushlon 2.0 has decent impact protection and springiness. The Zoom Air bag under the forefoot also offers some bounciness. It's not special but the cushioning feels natural.

The midsole setup is similar to the Zoom Freak 5. There's a forefoot Zoom unit, but there's no shank. The cushioning does feel springy while being low to the ground.

Heel slippage is minor, and there's not much available for lateral stability. I do like the heel counter, though.
