Official NB basketball thread

My son is 12 Kawaii is his favorite player so I wanted to get him those shoes to play the season but most of Elementary School gyms is everybody knows isn't the best well-kept so I'm looking for a shoe that holds up well on Dusty courts without tons of wiping

He's 12. He'll endure with anything you buy him.

Most kids I see these days are wearing Kyries though.

Well u are wrong about him enduring anything which is why I made the post. he's tired of slipping and want to choose a shoe that no matter what Court he was on he would get traction.

If you are primarily looking for traction, I think the Puma Clyde Hardword is a good option.
 
I heard traction was good on the kawhi’s ?

also is your son playing for his school? Don’t they clean the courts and have the grip board before you start the game?

YEAH these are cold.
Great game last night, Kawhi was surprisingly quiet and missed the possible game winner at end of regulation.
 
He blocked a shot that could've send it to double overtime. That a game winning block.
on Kemba? yeah. was like <3 seconds left but true, catch and shoot in corner not much offensive option. after the block over a charge and phantom foul on one of Kawhi's drive and then brad's tech, yeah, good game

Lol, ok dad!
I wore whatever was given me. Slipped, wiped, and slipped some more, all the way to a D-1 scholarship.

I look back on it now and I’m like “wow what if I had let poor traction and dusty courts stop me”.


Like I said, he’ll endure in whatever you buy him 😉

from reviews i've read, soles with a wide traction pattern usually works best on dusty courts. the dust doesn't get trapped in the wider grooves. Jordan 34s & Anta KT5 have a wider pattern. best of luck... weartesters. com has a bunch of sneaker reviews that talk about traction on dusty courts

best of luck
 
Whew, you guys weren't kidding about these running long. I've got a solid inch of toe space while standing up in a size 14.

If another CW comes around that I like, I'll definitely grab a 13.5 next time.
