I was playing outdoors at the Unidad Deportiva when I was in MDE, mostly half court so didn't bother me but when I started running full my joints could really feel it. Playing on wood they feel great.

I am a pretty straight ahead player so the stability and traction issues didn't bother me personally with the LeBron. That said if you step on something uneven they are an ankle injury waiting to happen for sure, I definitely see the gripe. If you play like Kyrie, don't buy LeBron's shoe lol.

But yeah the cushion is great and could be even better in future iterations. The Battle Knit upper is the best part to me, hard to believe they made it so strong but yet so flexibile. I bought a bunch of the "Watch" colorways--Griffey, Mowabb and AM95. I wish they would turn loose more of the ones he wore on the court though
