Category Performance Ratings
9.3
Traction
Multidirectional pattern with sticky rubber. Exceptional grip on clean courts, reliable in light dust but can collect dust and lose bite.
8.9
Cushion
Dual-density Nitro foam with plush insole. Soft, bouncy, low-to-ground ride with solid impact protection and good responsiveness.
7.7
Materials
Synthetic layers and textile mesh upper with reinforced eyelets. Lightweight and functional but thin with a budget-feel in places.
8.5
Support
Molded heel counter, shank plate, wider base, and updated lacing. Strong heel lockdown and torsional stability for quick cuts.
8.3
Fit
Runs true to size for most. Snug toe box, forgiving midfoot, and lacing customizes lockdown; some prefer a half size up.
38%
Outdoor
Durable rubber compound but average outdoor life. Serviceable on rough courts yet best suited for indoor play.
small
large
Sizing
Generally true to size for most players. A few testers went half size up for extra toe room.
narrow
wide
Width
Accommodates narrow to wide feet overall. Midfoot can feel slightly narrow so wide footers may size up for room.

I copped the Polar Express colorway and is one of the best shoes I’ve ever play with. That version has no materials issues like the Scoot Henderson ones. The traction is just perfect in the forefoot (make sure you get a colorway whit a translucent outsole), although is not as good in the heel. The cushion is high but it feels fantastic with the nitrofoam insole. Only concern should be lateral support because the shoe is high, narrow and doesn’t have an outrigger, but it should be ok for guards.
