**LI-NING ALL CITY Wade Men's Basketball Shoes - Cushioned, Anti-Slip & Shock Absorption Sneakers for Professional Performance | Ideal for Indoor & Outdoor Courts, Training & Casual Wear**

I went out on a limb and tried these shoes because of a couple positive reviews I saw on Youtube. Plus the Chinese brands tend to make fairly durable shoes. I play basketball MOSTLY outdoors and have gotten tired of plowing through a hoop shoes traction in a matter of a couple of weeks. These are the REAL DEAL.I bought the gray model of these shoes and have played in them outdoors about 6 times for 2 hour sessions about each times. And that is nearly constant play, constant movement, constant friction and constant deterioration. They have shown LITTLE to NO WEAR, in terms of the actual physical traction. Of course they have gotten dirty, but they have not worn down nearly AT ALL. The durability on these things are fantastic.Due to how satisfied I have been with the quality and durability on these, I have bought five more pairs of these because I also love the fit and performance of them. I have also grown tired of finding a solid outdoor hoop shoe and then finding out that they aren't made anymore once I need another pair. So I have stocked up on these for the indefinite future, but I couldn't be happier or more excited to go through each of them. They feel better and better each time I wear them. The more you break them in, the better they seem to perform.If you want a comparison on the performance feel of these shoes, I would compare them to my previous go-to shoe, the Nike KD7. The materials feel is about the same, with a very free feeling forefoot, but a very contained heel. The main difference would be in the cushioning. These Wades don't have a plethora of cushion, but it isn't bad by any means. It is a more low-to-the-ground and bouncy feeling cushion, rather than a plush or pillow-y ride. The traction performance however surpasses the KD 7 which may have been their best selling point.If you are on the fence about these shoes, let me break it down for you. If you are looking for that outdoor shoe that is going to LAST and not ruin your feet every time you wear them, GO FOR IT. If you are looking for an indoor shoe, I'd say pass on these and go for something a little more plush.
