• You are after a pair that offers exceptional lockdown to protect your feet
• You prefer a shoe that is responsive and stable on the court

Who should not buy the Nike Zoom Rize

For something lower to the ground, check out Nike Kyrie Low 4. According to some players, the outsole of the Zoom Rize can pick up dust at times. You can opt for Nike Zoom Freak 3 for exceptional traction. The Nike Zoom Freak 2 is also a great alternative.

Top-notch traction? The Nike Zoom Rize doesn't disappoint

Basketball players commented that the Nike Zoom Rize grips the floor well whether they plan on indoor or outdoor courts. The top-notch traction is brought by its pattern that provides 360-degree coverage and is hardly affected by dust.

Due to its reliable traction, many hoopers mentioned that this shoe is durable enough for outdoor play.

Great midsole setup

Most athletes mentioned that the midsole area of the shoe feels incredible, which provides good compression, shows responsiveness and feels quite plush.

Thanks to its forefoot Zoom unit, some players also commended the pair as it is very responsive and stable. Several also commended the mesh upper for providing support to their feet.

No break-in time needed

Several players remark that the materials of the Nike Zoom Rize don't take long to break in. Some also are pleased with how this pair feels incredible once broken in.

Lockdown and support in one shoe

A significant number of buyers commended this pair's asymmetrical lacing as it provides exceptional lockdown. Some also mentioned that these Nike high-tops have excellent ankle support due to their mid-to-high-top cut with internal padding.

Fits true to size

According to hoopers, the Nike Zoom Rize fits perfectly. However, wide-footers are advised to try these basketball shoes in-store if possible. This is because a partial internal cleatie provides a snug fit.

Materials that deliver breathability

Thanks to this Nike basketball sneakers' engineered mesh upper, many are pleased with its breathable comfort. The upper also features synthetic materials that provide lightweight support and added durability.

Head to the court with style

A takedown model of sorts, the Nike Zoom Rize features a similar silhouette to its big brother the Nike AlphaDunk. A large foot at the forefoot completes the artfully-crafted design.
