Just what I was looking for, thanks so much Tommy! Planning to cop the purple nb freshfoam bb v2, I was a bit worried that since that cw has a translucent outsole, it wouldn't be the best bet for my gym's pretty dusty court, but seeing you in it in this vid makes me think it should be all right then? Also, how long was break in time for you in that cw? Thanks in advance and have a nice day!

Coming to this video after slipping around on a clean court in my retail gt cut 1s. The outsoles still have all of the important tread and I was still slipping around like crazy. I could honestly sell them and have someone pay a bunch of money for them because it LOOKS like they have all the traction😂. Do not trust what the internet tells you! I have 4 colorways and they’re all mid/bad!

I bought the Puma All Pro Nitro Marcus Smart and dang. it easily gets dust and was slipping all the time. I should have gotten the Showtime CW. 🤷♂
Hi Tommy, what are the best shoes in your opinion for protection of the knee, hip joints, and ankle joints? Been injured a few times, and now age is a factor in the recovery. Thanks.
