The traction is freaking amazing. It grips well on clean courts. It picks up minimal dust, and a quick wipe gets you back to stopping on a dime.

The cushioning is super lightweight and ultra bouncy. The midfoot 'soaring' loading zone compresses nicely. You get a springy launch and decent court feel.

The materials are really nice for the price. You get real leather across the midfoot and quality textile elsewhere. It feels high-quality and durable.

The materials feel substantial. You get a TPU textile forefoot and a strong two-layer heel counter, though it holds some heat until it breaks in.

The materials feel a little cheap in hand, and the mesh base with a leather trim isn't premium. Breathability isn't bad, and nothing pinched my feet.

I personally had zero support issues. The external heel counter and heel padding eliminated slippage. A wide base and outrigger help with hard lateral movements, and torsional stability feels solid.

Lockdown is confident with no heel slippage. A full shank and thick heel counter provide solid protection and lateral stability.

Support is very solid. A wide, stable base plus a torsion plate and a massive 270-degree TPU heel counter give great lockdown and ankle support.

Torsional support is a weakness. The upper bends easily, and lateral containment isn't the best on hard cuts. The large TPU heel counter helps with lockdown.

The rubber feels really soft, and its durability is questionable. I'm skeptical of their claim of 30% more durability.
