Why You’ll Love X1 Mid

X1 Mid Basketball Shoe – Feel the Court Like Never Before

Connect to the court in the X1 Mid – Xero Shoes’ barefoot basketball shoe. Designed to maximize your performance with a foot-shaped toe box for balance and comfort and a low-to-the-court outsole for quick cuts and pivots. The X1 is zero drop for natural posture and a powerful push-off.

The mid ankle height offers the ultimate in comfort for athletes at every level. Worn by pro ballers in the NBA and WNBA, the X1 can transform your game at any level of play.

I play with a lot of force, strength and power, and I’m gaining a lot by switching to the X1.

What NBA and WNBA players have to say about the X1

Fly Down the Court​

Heavy shoes can feel like a drag on your feet… and your game. At just 345 g per men’s size 42 shoe, the X1 Mid lets you have more energy for your sprints, cuts, and jumps. Feel faster and more explosive as you fly down the court.

Unlock Your Personal Best​

Years in the making, and designed with players and trainers, the X1 is rooted in barefoot principles. In the X1 Mid, your feet move naturally, so you can enjoy your full range of motion and strength.

Reaching a new personal best isn’t about working harder, it’s about moving better. The X1 keeps you close to the court with a low stack height and zero-drop heel so you can dominate with precision, control, and explosive power.

Great for other sports too

Finally a barefoot shoe that enables stable side movement. Works really well for tennis on hard court! Can only recommend it. Next iteration would benefit from more breathability 😉

Perfect

This shoes are perfect for my feet. I totally love It. After a few months having troubles with normal shoes for basketball, xero was my solution. Beside the support to the client is exceptional.

Great

Being in my 40s and having had foot pain for the last couple of years, I thought my basketball days were over. The barefoot revolution has given me a second chance. Using these I get no foot pain whatsoever after playing, and they feel natural for me to move and jump in. Not as barefoot feeling as I expected having used barefoot shoes already for walking so I hardly notice the transition. The only small negative is that the grip isn't great for outdoors, probably best for just indoor use.

Good fit . issues with traction

Fit is good and I like them for practice, but don't wear them for game. The traction is not good. Much more slipping then in my game shoes.
