Adidas Hoops 3.0 Mid: Delivering true-to-size fit

Many reviewers affirmed that the Adidas Hoops 3.0 Mid’s fit is true-to-size. Some commented that its “fit is a 10 out of 10,” and that it fits “like a Jordan 1.”  One wearer shared, “I was a little nervous about my size but as soon as I got the shoelaces regulated everything fit so perfectly,” adding that the fit was “a match made in heaven.”

Caution: it top narrow

There are a handful of reviews, though, saying that the Hoops 3.0 Mid is “uncomfortable to wear” for flat-footed persons, “a little too narrow for my foot,” and “the toe box is way too cramped and narrow.” So it is better to try putting the shoes on first before buying a pair. 

Simply beautiful no matter the occasion

The style and aesthetics that these kicks embody receive many compliments from sneaker fans. Here are some of these comments:

• “They have a sleek look that makes the shoe pop.”
• “Simplicity does it for me. The charcoal feels to the shoes is everything.”
• “Black on black always works, no matter the occasion.”

If only there were more colorways

Although its Hoops-inspired style and elegance are considered by many as “perfect”, some sneaker enthusiasts grumble that its “color options are lacking.” One reviewer said, “You guys need to allow us to either customize the coloring of shoes, or you guys need to offer a wider selection.”

Hoops 3.0: Just the right amount of comfort

For several verified purchasers, the Hoops 3.0 Mid is a “great comfortable pair of mids” and “comfortable to wear from new.” While other new shoes tend to be uncomfortable to wear at first, “but these feel like your old favorite pair that you have had for years,” according to one wearer after breaking them in. “It felt almost as if they weren't even new shoes,” added another. 

The adidas Temper Run Gets A!

For most reviewers, since this pair of sneakers come in neutral colorways, it is easy to pair with most clothing. They said:

• “I'm definitely rocking these with some jeans or some sweats.”
• “Aesthetically the design is really great and works with pretty much any outfit.”
• “Wear whatever you want as you do all of your everyday deeds in style and comfort in these Adidas shoes.”

As such, the Hoops 3.0 Mid is a “great shoe for a casual day or some casual hoops.” And for those who need the best basketball shoes but do not want to spend a fortune, one sneaker expert recommended this sneaker as an alternative. 

Price that makes sense

The Hoops 3.0 Mid is “good for the price” according to most reviews. One wearer said, “The price range of $50-70 is really solid for these shoes.”

And regarding the grip, a sneakerhead has this to say, “I tested these out balling at the court and I was extremely pleased with the extra grip they provided.” A sole unit that got its inspiration from the cupsoles of yesteryear delivers high traction on asphalt, thanks to the herringbone pattern of its outsole. 

Not breathable enough for working out

But the deal could have been better if these sneakers are more breathable. One buyer griped, “I wish they had more air flow; lots of sweat during a workout.” But he also added that “If you’re just wearing them to walk around in you’ll be good.”
