Nike PG 6 Review
Pros:
Grippy traction
Plenty of court feel
Cons:
Slightly narrow forefoot
No Air cushioning
Performance of the Nike PG 6:
Nike's latest entry in the Paul George signature shoe lineup continues to deliver on performance despite the cushioning changeup.
Similar to previous models, the traction bites hard. It grips like glue on clean courts and still performs on dustier courts.
The switch to a React foam midsole is the biggest change compared to last year's model. Reviewers agree that the cushion provides responsiveness and impact protection.
The materials on the shoe are breathable and comfortable.
Support is also not an issue due to the lacing setup and outsole construction.
Most reviewers had no issues recommending the Nike PG 6 because it suits many different playstyles.

The Nike PG 6 is the best of both maximalist and minimalist worlds. It offers quick vertical movements with its grippy traction. Just be mindful that the cushion can bottom out quickly.

The cushion and traction of the Nike PG 6 excelled, but the materials let down the shoe. Overall, I still really enjoyed playing in these.

Great shoe, amazing all around. Only negatives is that it takes a few times to break in and the materials pick up dirt and dust rather easy.

This traction pattern is insane. It surpassed my expectations. Dust does get stuck in the grooves sometimes, but nothing a wipe can't handle.

There is no Air in this year's cushioning for the PG shoe. Instead, we have React foam. It offers a good amount of court feel and impact protection.

There is a full-length React midsole providing impact protection in the heel. It's more responsive in the forefoot at the sacrifice of some cushioning.
