i kinda liked the 9 elite and 10 for just kicking around but they sucked to play basketball in. weak containment, no support. the 11 had these weird stiff portions on the uppers and was hella wobbly. they also kinda killed the cushion with all that hard rubber around it. i liked the kobe nxt 360 a lot better, a shoe that had similar goals and achieved them all at a higher level.
