Translucent was pretty weak on dusty courts, traction isn't the best on these. Picked up the boardrooms, hoping the solid rubber grips better.
 
last game and tonight.. broke out some IDs.

Wonder if he's gonna stay in the 16s through the finals (if they make it), instead of changing. I always thought that was a bad move to switch shoes right at the start of the playoffs.
 
Has anyone had these and the Lebron 21 over time, and which do you prefer?

I love my 21s and just got a 3rd pair (the white/black Conchiolin), but I'm considering sending a pair back and trying the 16s again. I used to have a team colorway (the black and white) and while I really really loved them, I just couldn't justify getting them when the 21s are the same price for more cushioning because it's the main thing I care about (at least from what I felt, particularly the forefoot). Now I'm seeing the Slim Reaper for $99 (which will probably drop another 20% if I want long enough) and seriously considering getting a pair again.

I love the broken in feel of them and how they're basically a slipper, but I wonder about how the traction and cushioning perform overtime compared to the 21s.
 
I just copped some Boardrooms for $49 from DSG Going Going Gone Outlet, check there for sure if you have one in your area.

Was that the price on the box or did they give you more off at the register? I’ve gone into one of those but the prices weren’t much better than online sales, many for clearly used shoes, and some prices were like just 15% off.

Price on the box, before any additional discounts. Yea sometimes the Going Going Gone outlets have shoes out there that have clearly been used and they just throw them back out to see if someone will bite lol.

I was shocked by the price myself. Although the boardroom is the most “boring” of the KDs (IMO) they’re still an amazing performer for the price.
