    The Way Of Wade 10 traction is the best traction imo to come out in the last couple years. Dust doesn’t even effect the shoe. Also the durability is crazy I’ve played in them about 25-30 times and they still look brand new.

    Can we get some footage of you hooping. Jeremy Jones does some amazing reviews as well. But we get to see the performance side if it as he does some really nice drills. Would be nice to see what caliber you are so we can get a better assessment on how to take your analyses. Tommy Liu is also another review who does some minor drills. He’s a bigger more relaxed Hooper. Like a Dirk. 🍻 Sammy. Keep grinding.
