How to read the scores: every score is out of 10 (higher is better). Position scores tell you how well the shoe suits that role; Value folds in price.

Weighted blend of the five lab categories: traction 28%, cushion 22%, support 20%, fit 15%, materials 15%. Ignores price and who wears it.

Fit for a big's game
Cushion (34%) and support (32%) weighted heaviest for impact protection, then fit, traction, materials. Gets a boost from real NBA center minutes.
Value score
8.3/10
Performance for the price
60% overall performance + 40% price efficiency (the cheaper it is vs. the rest of the catalog, the higher this part). Not simply performance ÷ price.
