Category Performance Ratings
9.2
Traction
Flow foam outsole with sticky rubber feel. Elite grip on clean indoor courts but dust sensitive and slippery when dusty.
8.0
Cushion
Dual-density Flow foam with midfoot shank. Firm, responsive ride with strong court feel and solid stability, not ultra plush.
7.9
Materials
Intelliknit woven upper with reinforcements. Lightweight, breathable, sock-like comfort; forefoot weave can stretch over time.
8.2
Support
Midfoot shank, stiff heel counter, lateral guardrail. Offers torsional rigidity and stable lateral containment; roomy forefoot may allow toe splay.
7.5
Fit
True to size for most. Form-fitting yet forgiving; narrow and medium feet can size down half for snug fit.
0%
Outdoor
Flow foam midsole and outsole lack outdoor durability. Designed for indoor courts; traction and foam degrade quickly outdoors.
small
large
Sizing
Runs true to size for most players. Narrow or medium feet can go down half size; wide feet should stay TTS.
narrow
wide
Width
Fits narrow to regular feet best. Intelliknit stretches for slightly wide feet but forefoot can feel loose for wide footers.

The midsole has a ton of impact protection. It feels softer than the Curry line, too. There's also plenty of court feel in the forefoot.

The Intelliknit fabric is soft, lightweight, and breathable. There's no break-in time and there are no weak points for containment. The loose forefoot weave reduces performance, though.

There's tons of torsional rigidity and solid lateral containment because of the midfoot shank. When combined with the heel counter, there's no lack of support.

My main complaint is the wider toe box causing your toes to splay resulting in reduced reaction time. The rest of the shoe is stable and secure, especially the midsole.
