You’d like the Dame 4 especially the fit. I’d also wait on the Kd 11 bc it looks like it will have excellent cushioning and fit (but who knows). Hardens might be too heavy for your tastes. You could also try to find some dame 2’s on eBay if you really loved them. Probably really cheap as well. Stock up on the shoes you love esp when they are discounted heavily. You trust it already and know exactly how it plays so you don’t risk wasting any money as well.

I’m 19, 5’6, 135 pounds. I play 1-3, but mostly undersized SG (as in really undersized. Normally competing against 5’10-6’0 guys in my position). I’m a knockdown shooter + extra passer (weird right) so the best I can describe my style of play is an Evan Turner who knocks down catch and shoot Js, or a 2nd year Bradley Beal; not much ISOs, knock down shooter from catch and shoots.

I don’t play fast (I just look fast cause I’m usually the shortest or 2nd shortest guy in the whole tournament), and I don’t really have mad hops, but I do value Cushion the most out of every category. I want shoes that give me good impact protection and good court feel. Next category that I really need is fit. I usually want my shoes to feel really comfortable and accommodating to my feet. The last category that I REALLY need is durability. I only play on the hardwood in tournaments. When I’m playing casually, I usually do on rubberized outdoor courts so durability is a must. I can live with average performance from the rest (traction, stability, containment, etc)

My current rotation is the following (will contain some pros and cons)
1.) Dame 2
+ My all time favorite. Did everything well
+ One of the best cushioning setups for a guard/forward
– Dust collector (cannot emphasize that more)

2.) Lebron 14
+ Good impact protection
+ Super-Ultra-Durable
– below average support for a mid-top

3.) Superfly 2017
+ Excellent materials
+ Responsive traction
– Super stiff upper
– A bit heavy on foot

4.) Curry 2
+ Beastly traction
– Suffocating ankle collar (My ankles always go numb)
– Not that durable…

5.) Ultrafly 2
+ Super Outdoor-friendly shoe
+ Good impact protection
– Hella heavy. Restricts my game
– Sits hella high

Some of the shoes that I have tried (and didnt like) are Kyrie 2 (horrible cushion), Dame 3 (really stiff midsole and heel), Hyperrev 2016, hyperdunk 2013, kd5 elite.

Sadly, both my Dame 2 and Curry 2 are near the end of their lives and I will retire them really soon 😦 Upon reading your jordan 31 low review, it actually convinced me to order one hahaha. You spoke highly of it, and now, a pair is coming this Saturday. Hoping for the best. Can you recommend another pair for me?

Nothing has really changed. Hyperdunk 2017 only real new one in the top five. Aj xxxi and Kobe Adm are all subs for Kobe iv when it dies. Explosive bounce is also a sub but not really sure where it fits.

Can’t say I’ve seen fake soldiers but the thin tongue sounds odd. Insoles should have the LBJ crown inside
