Obviously, Zoom Dream Season is a pair of standard high-top basketball shoes, which can be easily distinguished from the traditional Zoom Kobe 4. On the tongue of the shoe, we finally saw Kobe's own Logo on his simple sneakers. The signature pattern on the outside of the heel exactly like Zoom Kobe 4 can make everyone realize that this is a pair of sneakers belonging to Kobe for the first time. The patterns similar to Kobe tattoo on the vamp and toes decorate the vamp well. The flat shoelaces and the huge Swoosh logo inject some retro flavor into the sneakers themselves.
Comfort: 4.5 points
Although Zoom Dream Season didn't use Flywire flying line technology to design the upper, the leather is thin and not heavy, and the air permeability is even better than Zoom Kobe 4, and the sneakers are not boring to wear. Moreover, the leather vamp has a very soft texture. After wearing it for a period of time, the vamp can be well attached to the foot surface, making it easier to feel "one person, one shoe". The durability of leather uppers is also good. In addition, Zoom Dream Season also copied the midsole cushioning technology of Zoom Kobe 4. Think about this pair of mid-range basketball shoes and high-end basketball shoes such as Zoom Kobe 4 and Hyperdunk, but they are just feet.
Shock absorption: 4.5 points
In the midsole configuration, the combination of LunarFoam and Zoom Air is somewhat surprising. Especially the LunarFoam technology of the forefoot. This latest Nike iconic technology first appeared in NASA's highly elastic materials, and gradually became the royal technology of Nike's high-end shoes from Hyperdunk. This appearance on Zoom Dream Season also reflects Nike's emphasis on this pair of mid-range shoes. In actual wear, we found that the LunarFoam in the forefoot is more comfortable than the traditional Zoom Air, but it feels softer when playing.
Protective: 4 points
Without the Flywire flying line technology of Zoom Kobe 4 and the support of midsole carbon plate, the safety performance of ZoomDream season can only be considered unsatisfactory. The original zoom Kobe 4 midsole carbon plate was replaced by TPU tray. This TPU midsole tray is the choice of most mid-range sports shoes. Although it is not as strong as carbon board, it is basically enough for TPU tray for a pair of lightweight sports shoes. Although the improvement of the vamp makes the ankle lose some flexibility, it also achieves the purpose of protecting the ankle. In addition, it should be pointed out that the thinner vamp does not give enough protection to the strength players.
Grab the ground: 4 points
We will find that the lines of the exaggerated spider venom pattern on the soles of Zoom Kobe 4 did not appear in the Zoom Dream season. The outsole of this pair of Zoom Dream Season adopts herringbone lines for simple division. The outsole is basically consistent with the simple appearance of sports shoes and looks very practical. In practice, we also deeply realize that the outsole of this pair of shoes is excellent, and the outsole does not delay at all when doing emergency stop and disguised action.
Comprehensive evaluation: 4 points
Seeing the names of these sneakers will make people feel a little emotional. This year, Kobe finally got his championship ring and proved himself in front of the world, just as he himself said, "This is a dream season." Compared with LeBron's Zoom Soldier series, Kobe, who is also a first-line star of Nike, has never had a pair of real signature shoes, and Zoom Dream Season broke the spell. I believe that this pair of sneakers with comparable performance to Zoom Kobe 4 will become the gospel of many cash-strapped Kobe fans. The sneakers will go on sale on July 1 day at the price of 990 yuan.
