this MUST be one of the BEST shoes in 2024, the traction so good, the boom midsole really sof and good courtfeel-bouncy for PG,SG or even SF. materials and support better than the all city 11 v2. Go true to size if u have a narrow and medium foot go true to size.

The cushion is enjoyable for who likes the feel of bouncy foam in the heel, but i dont feel much on the forefoot. Traction is amazing, so is the material.
