Which is better, pg4 or Harden 4?
It is undoubtedly the biggest highlight that PG4 is equipped with innovative full palm air cushion, and the subversive zipper shoe body is also very different from the familiar PG series. The oversimplified vamp basically doesn't see more obvious personal elements in appearance except the PG Logo on the toe and the familiar signature on the heel. I'm afraid this is also the place where everyone talks the most! Instead, the design of "integrated inner boots+zipper uppers" reappeared in the Nike basketball matrix, inspired by Peyton's Zoom Flight 98. This time, the left and right sides of the shoe body are divided into two parts, the outer side is made of traditional engineering mesh, and the forefoot is reinforced with hot melt leather.
Harden 4 will be equipped with Light Strike's new cushioning technology this time, replacing the Boost midsole that has been used for three generations! At the same time, the shape of the outsole matches the outline of the midsole, which also outlines the zoning concept of the Tianzu outsole. Regarding the foot feeling of tapping, it was first carried on the next level of Adidas' first shoeless basketball shoes. Its softness is between bouncing and boosting, its elasticity and toughness are good, and it is relatively more suitable for playing basketball!
So these two shoes personally think Harden 4 is better.
What is the configuration of pg4 midsole?
All versions of PG4 really have torsion plates. Although the relationship between placement position and thickness is not necessarily the best strength, it is obviously sufficient. Anyway, I don't think the midfoot is so easy to fold in half. After the whole process of taking off my shoes, I also feel that many things really can't follow the trend just by imagination. I found that many people like to match this pair of shoes with signature shoes. In fact, the price of this pair of signature shoes is lower than that of MAX and zoom rise with Alpha eyebrows, and even LeBron's split troops are more expensive than him. Below him, only KD Owen witnessed and mamba spirit remained. This price is doomed to be a bad product.
How was pg4 in actual combat?
Generally speaking, although all the friends who tried the shoes said that the packaging performance of the shoes was first-class, they felt that the playing style was different and not enough. This is caused by the fact that the shoes have not undergone additional anti-rollover treatment, and it is impossible to meet the needs of more people only by relying on limited outsole widening. As George himself has experienced serious injuries, we can see the change of his playing style. Now he has a higher tendency to shoot when choosing attack mode.
Therefore, it is not recommended for breakthrough friends to choose this shoe. Nike also has good shoes to choose from.
But for my personal style of play, it can be used in actual combat. In order to test this, I deliberately increased the impact on the basket, and I personally didn't feel uneasy. However, in terms of experience, PG4' s package experience is better than shoes with wider last. In actual combat, I also had some disturbed movement deformation and center of gravity deviation, but I didn't feel uneasy when I landed.
How to maintain pg4 best?
1. Don't let the sneakers come into contact with various chemicals, such as hydrochloric acid, sulfuric acid, alkali and other chemicals that can corrode. Besides, don't set your sneakers on fire. For example, in winter in the north, sneakers are not easy to dry after cleaning. Some people put their sports shoes on the stove or radiator. This is a wrong practice, because uneven heating or high temperature will cause the material of sneakers to shrink and deform.
2. Basketball shoes should be cleaned regularly, and the cleaning frequency varies from season to season. For example, in hot summer, you have to clean it once after playing three games on average. Remember when cleaning. Take out the insole first (shoes with shoelaces should be cleaned separately), and scrub the insole with a shoe brush or an old toothbrush. Don't scrub hard, but scrub the shoes with a soft cloth. Shoe brushes can be used to clean soles. If there is gravel on the sole, it should be removed in time.
