Who should buy the Adidas Yeezy BSKTBL Knit

Who should NOT buy this basketball shoe from Adidas

In terms of weight, this shoe puts even the notoriously heavy LeBrons to shame. Hence, the Yeezy BSKTBL Knit really isn't for light and nimble players. They are better off with the Adidas Dame 8 or the Pro Model 2G.

Enjoy strong and balance-improving traction

The wavy herringbone on the outsole of the Adidas Yeezy BSKTBL Knit uses both traction and suction to bite the floor so forcefully. It'd be practically difficult to lose balance, even if you try to do it on purpose.

The Yeezy BSKTBL Knit delivers no-frills containment

The upper, which is made of a thich knitted material, delivers support like no other. The really effective laces and the heel counter also contribute to a really secure foot lockdown.

You won't wobble in this Yeezy shoe

Balance is at the core of this shoe's design; it is replete with features that secure the stability of every step: a wide base, midsole shank, and a really grippy outsole.

This close-to-the-skin fit of the shoe is good for support, there's no question to that. However, it sometimes also make it difficult to put on the shoe.

Want to take the Adidas Yeezy BSKTBL outdoors? No problem!

From the outsole to the upper, everything about this Adidas shoe screams durability. Hence, outdoor games won't be an issue for this basketball sneaker. 

However, it seems that all the efforts to increase sturdiness lead to some clunkiness and weight gain for the shoe.
