D Rose 6 review is done !!
I wasn’t sure if I was going to buy these but my OCD and need to know personality made me buy them. I was most interested in seeing if Hex Zoom could be made to feel like I had hoped last year and upon trying them on, Nike succeeded!
I literally just got these from UPS but aside from the dumbest lace set up ever, the shoes feel great.
The laces are sealed in underneath the Hyperposite so if you break a lace you’ll have practically no way to relace unless you thread it with something thin and hard (that’s what she said?)
Hope to get this review done in next few weeks. Also ordered the Rose 6 today so stay tuned!

Feels awesome heel to toe underfoot thanks to more Boost. Better than my Boost running shoes

I’ll be waiting for your performance review on this, as I’m torn between the LeBron 13 and Curry 2 as my next ballin shoes. I’m about 6 ft tall 170lbs, playing as guard or small forward and sometimes center here in village tournaments in the Philippines. Currently using CFD (as per your good review and recommendations) keep up the good work, and more power to you!

That’s a tough call. Nike fixed lots of the issues I had with the xii and it only weighs 16 oz now. I personally still
Like the curry 2 more but it depends on your playing style and preference. I should have review done In a few weeks ! Thanks for reading !

That’s good to know then. Well, my playing style is more on the perimeter area, I like to drive all the the times and also post moves. Not so much in quick cuts and lots of foot works. I’m already 38 yrs old, but thankfully still have healthy knees. Thanks!

I’m anxiously waiting to read both of these reviews. Curious to see how the lebron’s zoom air compares to the Jordan XX8 unlocked zoom and Rose 6 vs Rose 5.

Finally got to see both of these in person and I’ve got to say I’m surprised. I didn’t expect the rose 6’s upper to be that soft and the 13’s being so light. That said though I prefer the CL boost 2015 to both of these personally. As of just feeling them in-hand the Cl boost feels better to me. Quick question will you be doing a review on the stance nba socks?

So either tts or half size down

That was my problem with drose 5 , i played in 11 (my true size) , and after two sessions i realized that i must go half size down because it was to mush space in toe area , but with that size i am not completely satisfied because on stop and go moves front of shoe was hurting my toes … simply , fit is awkward in 5’s ,so for me fit is going to be crucial in 6’s , it also depends on upper a lot , that mesh upper seem to be better than leather. When we talk about traction, that can be downgrade from previous model, it looks like it can pick up a lot of dust. Btw, thanks for informations , best reviews on internet !

Ha you and I are in the same boat. I ended up staying with 11 on the Rose 5. I’ll
Let you know how the Sz 11 works in the Rose 6 tonight or tomorrow .

So i went with the 11 tonight and they fit similar to the 5 less dead space even with the stock insole but seems like there is a little more length. I tried on the 10.5 and I fit those as well. I think there is a little more space in the toe than the 5 so if say 10.5 for you if you want a tighter fit (don’t think you’ll bang toe like the 5). Had no problems with traction at all and I was on lightly dusty court. Will take to y this week

Just cop 2 pairs of D Rose 5 Brenda, excellent performer on court. The D Rose 6 is slowly growing on me, I just hope they fit better and traction will be great, then I am sold. Will patiently wait for the performance review of the D Rose 6, thanks!

Nice, the Drose 5 exceeded my expectations after all the negative reviews it had. Very curious on the Drose 6 and looking forward to the away colorway which releases this november. Been copping a lot of lebrons lately (lebron v and II and maybe the 9’s and 10 elite’s) and will definitely get the lebron 13’s (hoping for better colorways or maybe id them) after reading some of the initial reviews and impressions. Thank you and keep them coming.

It isn’t really pure mesh so I like it a lot. Fit is similar to last years but very
