The Envoy 11 from the Nike James branch can be used on cement floors. It uses an XDR outsole, which is much more wear-resistant than crystal soles. However, it is not recommended that you often hit cement floors. shoes will also be damaged.

Can the Envoy 11 be used on cement floors?

It is still possible to play on cement floors, but any pair of shoes cannot withstand the torment of concrete floors for a long time.

As for the soles, this pair of Envoy 11 equipped with XDR has not shown any obvious signs of wear after several actual battles. I believe that in terms of wear resistance, this pair of shoes can still satisfy the public. In terms of daily needs, in terms of traction, the sole pattern is similar to that of the Warrior 12, with mainly parallel patterns. There is basically no slipping during actual combat in the infield and outfield. Overall, it is reassuring.

Envoy 11 configuration details

In terms of the overall configuration, there is not much difference from Envoy 10. The midsole is equipped with front and rear palm zoom. There is no doubt about the comfort of the Yiyi 11, and the configuration of front and rear palm zoom is more suitable for actual combat than the full-length zoom.

My feeling is that the forefoot needs to be thinner, with enough air pressure to not affect starting, and the backfoot needs to be thicker, with good cushioning. The full-palm one is really not suitable for actual combat, and is prone to foot soreness. The Envoy 11 is xdr In the outsole, XDR technology makes the rubber lighter without losing wear resistance. However, the wear resistance of a pair of shoes depends on the depth and thickness of the texture.

What about the cushioning of the Ambassador 11?

If the cushioning feeling of the Ambassador 10 is equivalent to a 600ml bottle of Coke Zero, then the Ambassador 11 is like a 600ml bottle of Coke, which feels better than the Ambassador 10. The ratio is the same, but slightly sweeter. The original LBJ16 is a 2.0L bottle of family version, which is sufficient and powerful, but it is a bit difficult to finish it in one gulp. In terms of the rear palm air cushion, the feeling of the Envoy 11 is relatively less obvious, and it can only be at a regular and adequate level. Compared with the Envoy 10 generation, both are 500ml Coke Zero.

To sum up the cushioning aspect, it is biased toward conventional operation, but the overall cushioning experience is quite good. Compared with most sneakers on the market, it does not fall behind.

What kind of soles are good for basketball shoes?

1 Look at the cushioning

Playing basketball is a strenuous exercise, including a lot of jumping, falling, and sharp turns. The implementation of movements is a great test for the knees, so the cushioning performance of the soles is particularly important. Cushioning mainly protects the knees during sports. From the knowledge of mechanical impact amount, we can know that when the human body lands, the sole material is compressed by the impact, which increases the action time, thereby reducing the human load and reducing the probability of injury.

2 Look at the texture

The herringbone pattern we usually call has the best wear resistance. This pattern can help increase the gap between the shoe upper and the ground. Friction and wear resistance of the sole are usually related to the thickness of the sole texture. The thicker the sole texture, the more wear-resistant it is, and the finer the sole, the less wear-resistant it is. In fact, the impact of texture on wear resistance is more important than slip resistance. If there is a concave and convex match in the corresponding direction, it will have an anti-slip function.
