Reebok Easy Tone

Have you ever wonder these freak looking shoes in a store?
Easy Tone technology is all about the 2 pods on the out sole of Reebok Female walking shoes
Easy Tone is engineered for ladies to tone up their thighs and buttocks, making you thighs and buttocks firmer
Ladies, it sounds cool right?
My first impression to it is instability
Because the area of out sole that contacts to ground is very narrow(only the 2 pods), unlike the conventional shoes
Even I m a guy, I tried on a pair, and I feel like i would likely to fall if I m walking it them, definitely
It seems a weakness right?
Ironically, this is the selling point of the shoes.
As it makes you off balance it is harder to walk  in these shoes, then the lady is encouraged to tone up her gluts (muscle of thigh and buttock area)
The pods are actually 2 air pockets that features air flowing technology that gives you ample cushioning while toning up your butts
And the spiral patterned out sole give you enough traction for indoor or outdoor walking
I think Easy tone is suitable for workout in gyms and leisure walking, and i don't recommend it for running to avoid Ankle rollover

Nike Air Max Destiny

Okay... this is one of best selling Nike basketball shoes this season.

you can probably get it at around RM 360 in Malaysia

let's start this from the upper 

Yeah. this is a high top, that provides sufficient ankle support to players. Then Nike Flywire is engineered on the side of the shoe for more support as you can see. when the shoes are laced up fully i can guarantee the support is Ok and the stability of  but to me it the shoes is awesome as well. even though it is a bit restrictive to my ankle flexibility.

For Breathability, I think is moderate only. Most part of the upper is made of PVC. However I personally don't think this dimension bothers very much.

Fit, it is quite comfortable wearing this shoes, especially the toe box is not that narrow. Even i have wide forefoot it also fits me pretty well.

Cushioning, technology used is Nike Air Max. The Air Max unit in the heel give ample cushioning for the game. I wanna pin point that, You can feel that the sole is so thin. I can feel that my foot are so near to the ground in the shoes therefore I think the Responsiveness should be pretty cool. And it is said that the mid sole is made of a lighter phylon.

Last dimension is Traction, the out sole is herringbone pattern, my favorite, just simply versatile. I would always suggest Nike's Herringbone pattern shoes, they really grip. And the out sole is made of kind of hard rubber which is very durable.

Overall, Nike Air Max Destiny is a great job of Nike. The weight of the shoes is quite light. Even though i personally think that it is not that flexible as i would prefer, it is still a bargain at its price.

Reebok Zig Sonic

I bought this shoe because the appearance of it is irresistible to me and it is kind of low profile that i like so much. The shoes cost me RM 320 after a 20% discount. This is actually not a pair of basketball shoes. Instead it is a pair of running and training shoes.

Zigtech What is so cool about it is the zig shaped out sole of the shoes. This unique out sole is called Zigtech, an innovation of cushioning by Reebok.

Cushioning, I have nothing to criticize on this dimension, The Sole is so elastic, it totally absorb the impact caused when i am running and release them effectively. This shoes could really make your leg stay fresher and less muscle strain.Cushioning for landing is also awesome in this shoes.

Breathability & Comfort of Zigsonic are very impressive also. Most part of the upper is made of a thin layer of breathable mesh material and this mesh is very flexible. There is no solid rubber or leather covering the toe box and i can easily press the toe box. As a result, it is tremendously comfortable walking and running in the shoes.

Flexibility of this sole is awesome, the zig shaped sole is not restrictive and you can actually twist it easily with your hands and the upper of the shoes is mostly made of  flexible mesh. Therefore it is definitely not restrictive to forefeet movement. Furthermore, the low cut design also contributes a lot to flexibility to ankle movement.

Some Weakness

Firstly, Traction is moderate. Evne though there are some extra hard rubber attached on the out sole to give extra traction and protect the sole i think. However as you can notice on the out sole, you can tell that the traction of it is moderate only. That is why there is a extra layer of grippy out sole for Zigtech basketball shoes.

Wrinkles Once you have worn for some time, you will see some wrinkles appear on the sole of the shoes. I think because the out sole is fully made of some kind of foam that is normally softer and more elastic. Regardless of these wrinkles, the sole is not too soft until a level of getting mashed.
