If you like thin low-to-ground deck with explosive first-step quickness for light, shifty guards, and can live with thin Flytefoam runs out of impact protection on hard landings and for heavier players, then this shoe is for you.

Story & provenance
The Workhorse Before V17
Gelhoop V16 is the immediate predecessor to the current V17 and shares much of the same core DNA 鈥 wide stable base, Flytefoam with Rearfoot GEL cushioning, and the Japan-market emphasis on fit accessibility. V16 was released across Standard, Extra Wide (4E), and lighter 'S' variants, plus an assortment of Japan-exclusive colorways (including 'Sunrise Red' and 'Rich Teal' editions). It remains highly rated on Japanese and Asian reseller platforms; many players who own multiple Gelhoop generations describe V16 as the more comfortable, cushier option, while V17 leans slightly firmer and more responsive. With V17 now dominant, V16 has become the discount-priced pick in the lineup, widely available under $100 through Kicks Crew and eBay sellers.
