Light, comfy shoe with lots of traction
Chris R. 4/5 Verified
One of the best shoes i’ve played in my whole life. Lebron 20s and Kobes are my go to and I have not rotated to them since getting Player1.5s. Great cushion while still having amazing court feel. No heel slippage at all with the material used for the heels. My knees and feet don’t hurt after a full 2hr session of basketball. 10/10

Best sneaker in the market

The best basketball pants I’ve played in and of course the my favorite basketball sneaker!

Like these to wear around and for slower paced games. Gonna put the explosive insert in and see if my opinion changes

I think Player 1 is better foot feel than Player 1.5. Overall its a good shoes. If you like kobes you gotta love this shoes. Better quality better traction same price.

En verdad son unas preciosas zapatillas, me traen mucha nostalgia, ya que me devuelven a mi época de adolescente, tiene una buena amortiguación, excelente amortiguación, simplemente excelentes zapatillas y voy por otra.

Thought the shoes would be too wide, but as I tightened them they actually seemed to seal themselves around my foot! Felt very nice and I especially love the insole. The laces are a tiny bit long, but I can always tuck them in, or try the extras. They are very light but still have good support, and good traction. Overall the feel of the insole/the fit to my foot stand out the most and everything else is as good or better than other shoes I’ve worn! Great stuff!

Been enjoying my SPO player1 plus traction is on point and the explosive insole does its job. Can’t lie though I want my recovery slides real bad after a game but they are spectacular.

Traction does require a little bit of wiping, but overall it has a great fit so it’s really worth it

These are honestly in the top 3 purchases of all basketball shoes I have ever bought. The traction is immaculate even on dusty courts. The fit is TTS. They're also super light so its easy to make quick movements

I play 5-6x per week. 6'4" 205 lbs. SPO Player 1.5 are easily one of my favorite shoes I've worn in the last few years. Love the improvements over the Player 1s. I will be using 1.5s regularly in my shoe rotation because I'm so confident the shoes will do exactly what I need them to do. Traction is next level....super-elite. Insanely lightweight. Explosive 2.0 drop-in is the best SPO has ever made (I own the Support, Individual, Quick 2.0, and a couple more so I have literally tried every combination possible). No pressure points when lacing these up thanks to the new tongue and upgraded laces. Compared to Kobe IXs, the Player 1.5 is lighter, with better court feel, better lockdown, and better traction. Keep up the great work SPO!

Fantastic and explosive great fit and fun good Job yall
Cris S. 5/5 Verified
Didn’t like them the first day. I have some Achilles issues and man did they come in heavy with the mid. I tried them again a few days later and they didn’t irritate as much and felt waaay better. Glad I gave them the second chance. Going to put the explosive insole in them then I know for a fact I will really like them.

Serious player only sent me out a pair of scuffed shoes wanted me to pay to have them returned and then buy them again. If spo sends out damaged merchandise they need to be the ones to exchange it instead of making customers feel wrong for doing any business to being with

I bought a pair of Play 1.5 a couple of days ago love the way the look wore them 2x times & got a blister from the glitter material that build in on the heel cushion the second day of playing in them. Was very disappointing! Because I wear lots of Kobe’s & never had a problem. Contacted them and they just said sorry. I am really upset that they don’t accept my return and warranty on their product which make me injury on my foot. I should sue them for the product cause my feet injury. That glitter part on shoes make out of sandpaper feel even though I wear them with different socks. Never buy from them because they don’t guarantee their product then who else would pay for $200

Went up .5 as I have wide and flat feet. I watched many YouTube reviews which helped me decide to go up in size from my TTS 9.5US. the fit is perfect. No extra length to speak of. Drop-in was changed for the Explosive Drop-in setup. Traction setup is elite on all surfaces. Lockdown is amazing and I love the lacing system. No complaints at all. Would love to see the Explosive 2.0 in the online store.

Do not send out scuffed or damaged product to customers then make them have to pay to send it back to have to buy a non damaged or scuffed up pair of shoes. You guys sure don't advertise them on the website like that scuffed and damaged right. Think I'll stick with nike or foot Locker, at least you don't have to pay for return shipping if something arrives damaged. I guess serious player only can afford to lose customers.

Player1 Plus has amazing traction and the fit is great! This shoe is probably one of the best basketball shoes I’ve worn far as comfort and traction. Definitely will be ordering another pair soon.

They are great they are very comfortable the materials are incredibly resistant I am very comfortable with the SPO Ranger 1 shoes soon I will buy others Thank you

Good lockdown/support & traction, amazing design.
Jaime L. 5/5
I only played in these shoes three times and it also took almost a whole month for the shoes to arrive. I only use them for indoor and they already got damaged. I play small guard and I hardly ever drive to the paint. I paid a pretty penny for these shoes and they’re already damaged. I’m thinking twice now about how SPO says they have durable materials. I kind of doubt that. . Gotta give a one star for that. Li-Ling has a slight advantage over you guys.hate to say.
Bert H. 1/5 Verified
Great performer with great quality and I also loved their Player 1 plus as well. However, idk what it is but my shoe boxes I ordered from spo always had issues. They were kind enough to accommodate me with that but as a collector wish they had better box quality.
Jaeyoung J. 4/5 Verified
You gotta choose a better shipment transport, they deatroyed the box
Knuffi B. 1/5 Verified
All my shoes are size 10 US; I bought the Player One Plus(Lemon) in size 10 and they fit well. I play basketball outdoors and the traction is good and the outsole is holding up well. I really appreciate that I emailed a question to Serious Player Only and they responded the next day.

The traction is ABSURBD! This is a dream shoe for hoopers. But if youre buying Game 1 Hi, order half a size UP. Playing with these shoes is amazing. And everyone who saw me wearing it is just confused what shoe it is until I introduced them to “SPO”…. Love it…. 🫶🏼🫶🏼🫶🏼

It is the best grip and fit. I'm also thinking of buying another color.

Everything from the cut, padding, material, performance of these socks are cream of the crop.

I love them so much that’s why i bought my 4th pair. Wearing them feels like wearing kobe’s. One of the best shoes out there.
Rb G. 5/5 Verified
Some of the best basketball shoes I’ve ever played in
Jordan W. 5/5 Verified
Best sock in the game. I'm flat footed and narrow footed so I'll usually double sock so that there's more comfort in my shoes. Since wearing these socks that's not needed anymore and feel even more comfort than ever before. Highly recommend
