weartest update after 4 long wears
(edit now 5):
-did some drills, played extensive 1v1's, 3v3', a 30 minutes run 5v5 yesterday(my 1st in over a year! slowly coming back from injury) and now a second one.
*very comfy and very very good for shootaround
*minimal foot or legs soreness the day after, due to superior impact protection, it's crazy!
*NO ankle rolling/stability problems AT ALL on wooden floors, even less if it's dusty. Shoes are stable enough laterally for my weight and explosive style of play...even though I'm not quite there yet, I don't foresee any issues.
(if you play on a mondo surface with zero slip, maybe my initial comments would still apply...to be confirmed eventually)
*at first I was scared with lateral stability issues cause they felt wobbly and unstable at the heel just trying them on at home, same for shootaround on the 1st wear BUT the feeling quickly wore off with each successive wear. Once broken in at the 3rd wear, the shoes felt very settled and inspired me a lot of confidence in 'em to the point it wasn't even in the back of my mind anymore. To my surprise the shoes seem like great on court performers in my experience so far.
*The more I wear 'em the more I come to love the 39! Never thought I'd be the one to say that 3 months ago!!!
To the point that now I don't plan on wearing any of my old shoes for a while, that's how I love'em for on court duties!
