I only play on rough surface court something like outdoor type kinda court. So the traction is all good and I'm sure any shoe will do the same.Originally Posted by jman8811

Matter of fact, ist is one of the lowest-to-the-court shoes out there, topped only by the Rose 1.0 and maybe the Kobe VI, but if so not by much.
As for the Black Ice to Rose comparison, I haven't played in the Ice lows yet, but comparing to the mids, they actually feel very similar. If you need a definite opinion, I say go with what you know - if you like adidas get them, but the Black Ice are very nice shoes. One of my tops of the year. Don;t be scared because they are UA - they hit the marks on this one.
