Last time I played the court was not as clean as usual and for the first time I found myself needing to wipe the sole mid game. Still had fine traction. Court condition matters more than anything else for me.

surprised people in here are calling the camo se's limited seems like finishline.com has a full size run at the moment. Tried the green camo and was able to add multiple sizes without a problem. If only these were in solid colors.
I complained about the traction...the traction on those are not top notch...they aren't better than the Kobe IV or the 2013 Hyperdunk...they may be in line with the Kobe 8 but that's it...and I've played on courts where it is not entirely clean, but my hyperdunks have no problem...
funny how you say that maybe those individuals that are complaining about traction don't know how to go quick laterally...if the traction is subpar and I can go quick laterally the traction will give out due to the force I am putting to the ground...so, someone that isn't able to apply as much force as me would be ok with subpar traction because the floor has less power being applied to it
but they are sitting at one of the few places that even has them !
Do you have both the regular and SEs?Traction is great in my pair. Just like the regular xx8s.
I think it's the floor dude. Not the shoes. I don't think you would be sliding all over the court with these shoes on if you were to play on a clean floor.
And normally the floor get dirtier by the hour because many people go in and out the gym at all times. People walked on water, dirt etc and brought that with them onto the floor.
Just imagine you are playing on a clean floor. Half an hour later and that floor will not be the same condition after 2 or 3 games.
I have the Hyperdunks and the SE and there is not a traction difference for me.
Did you read what I wrote? I said that I've played on courts that are not as clean as most would like but my Hyperdunks have no problem at all. What I'm saying is that the traction on these shoes are not top notch. I've brought both my SEs and Hyperdunks to the same court and only shoes that had problems traction wise were the SEs. Yes I had to constantly wipe my Hyperdunks, but after I did the shoes were great. Get a pair of Hyperdunks, or Kobe IV if you can find them, and compare them to the XX8 line. Then you can come and tell me how great the traction on these are.
I own kobe iv and hd 08, 2012. When playing in them. If the floor dirty i would feel it.
If someone had to wipe their shoes constantly that mean the court is not meant to be play on anyway.
Time to go to a better gym buddy.
Do you have both the regular and SEs?
and? The regular xx8 sat for at least two months before they start selling out.
First off the 08 and 2012 Hyperdunks were not known for their traction...the first iteration of the Hyperdunk just highlighted being the lightest ever and the 2012 tried too hard to highlight the Nike + capabilities...next the Kobe IV were beasts compared to the SEs....I never said anything about me always playing on dusty floors...I'll put it out there for you that I have played on many different courts...from dirty to clean...including at Westchester High here in Cali...a Kobe sponsored school...so next time you want to tell me to find a better gym come down here to Cali and I will have no problem showing why the traction on these is trash
