Kids' Team Hustle D 12 Basketball Sneaker

Nicely built shoe, with exception of two things. First sizing is wildly inconsistent when comparing to other Nike shoes. See photo of two Nike pairs side by side - A full size smaller than the others I bought for my kids and they still a too big. The length is still about 1/2” too long, but they were tight to get into. My child normally wears a 1.5-2 in shoes. Had to get a 1 in these. So they are both too big (length) and too small on elasticity to the tongue. Next, this shoe is extremely rigid and built more like an old school style basketball shoe. We will give them a shot, but they may be too clunky for a little kid to wear. There’s not much radius to the back heel which makes my kiddo run with a stomp and slow him down. I would return them, but he wants to try to get used to them. The sole is very rigid and only flexes at a single bottom reveal they designed in. Overall quality of the shoe seems fine.

I purchased these shoes because of the high ratings, but they were extremely disappointing. The velcro is weak, and my son had to constantly readjust it during his basketball game. Since the velcro opens on the inside of the shoe, his other foot kept catching it and undoing it. Poor design and a waste of money. I do not recommend this shoe.
