Performance Notes
Comfort & Fit:
Comfortable straight out of the box, with good breathability for extended sessions. Fit is generally true to size, though some players may find the heel lockdown slightly relaxed compared to more stability-focused models.
Mobility & Cushioning:
The Lightstrike foam offers a stable, responsive feel that supports fast changes of direction without feeling harsh underfoot, ideal for baseline movement and recovery steps.
Traction & Durability:
The herringbone outsole pattern provides consistent grip on hard courts, while reinforced materials in high-impact areas deliver solid durability for the price point.
