Our verdict
This sneaker's name, Shoot Around, was inspired because it's a shoe that can be used for warming up on the basketball courts. This collaborative project with Fear of God meets expectations, as it provides a very soft footbed without drowning the foot in plushness and allows a bouncy and reactive performance. Furthermore, it has an outstanding visual that can easily be mistaken for a high-end sneaker for basketball and lifestyle.

Nike Air Shoot Around vs. Nike Air Fear of God 1
The primary differences sneakerheads noticed between the two sneakers collaborated by Nike and Fear of God are their upper construction and lacing system. Air Fear of God 1 features a TPU cage with a tiny Swoosh on its lateral side. This cage design was removed from the Air Shoot Arounds and replaced with glossy Swooshes on both medial and lateral sides. The lacing system modification from Air Fear of God 1 to Shoot Around was also evident - from a toggle system to ankle wrap-around laces with collar straps.
Nike Air Shoot Around runs long
A vlogger said this sneaker’s sizing is “very hard to gauge,” which was agreed upon by many sneakerheads. According to them, Air Shoot Around is long but narrow, which opens two suggestions.
First is going true to size, which leaves ample space in the toes but allows an easier putting on of the sneakers. This option was also recommended for those with wide feet. The second is going half a size down for a more exact lengthwise fit but making it harder to get into the sneakers.
Double-stacked air unit = double return
One of the features that sneakerheads raved about the Nike Air Shoot Around is its double-stacked Zoom Air unit that peaks through a translucent blue area at the bottom.
People attested to the sneaker’s responsiveness with the comments, “super bouncy” and “easy ride for the feet.” One was extra pleased and said Air Shoot Around is “extremely, extremely, extremely responsive.”
Insane plush on the foot
Air Shoot Around was well-commended for its very soft cushioning, which made people leave remarks like “hella dope on feet,” “underfoot feel is crazy,” and “stupid comfortable.” Fans noticed the “very premium-feeling material” inside the sneaker that made it so comfy.

The most interesting and unique feature that fans found in Air Shoot Around was the lacing system that doesn’t really lace up but wraps around the sneakers. This lacing method was likened to a “Roman sandal” by a sneakerhead. Shoot Around also has non-removable velcro straps that can be looped in the front or at the back.
Hard AF to put on
Many fans struggled to get their feet on this sneaker. They had to switch down the zipper to put Air SA on, but they felt it was super flimsy, and the sneaker itself was narrow. One stated that the zipper “feels like you’re gonna break it” every time you zip it up and down.

In a sneakerhead’s opinion, Nike Air Shoot Around is a fashion-forward sneaker that lines with other luxury brands like Balenciaga. For him, the sneaker’s “super clean” combination of various elements made it look high fashion. For another sneakerhead, the minimal branding and design “let the shoe shine on its own.”
A fan thought another body that gives the sneaker a more luxurious feel was the inclusion of four extra lace locks, an Air Fear of God hang tag, and a big tote bag. Due to these reasons, many found its retail price of $300 justifiable but still expensive.
Rocks inside and outside the court
Nike SB Dunk Iron Man basketball-inspired sneaker, but it has a “really, really dope silhouette for lifestyle,” as mentioned by a fan. A sneakerhead demonstrated that it blends well with skinny jeans and shorts, proving that it goes well with casual fits.
