Are Wade 1.3 good for balling?

[eeibaby]

I found some at Marshalls for $30 and was going to cop but wanted to see if they are good balling shoes. I need good traction, ankle support and lightweight does this shoe do it for me?

lightweight , decent cushion. Bad traction, medium ankle support.

decent cushion? i think it lacks cushion big time. yea i was going to cop at marshalls too but passed because they felt stiff as a rock in regards to cushioning. who knows, maybe it needed a break in period but i passed, even for 30 dollar sig shoes. go get the zk1 for 30 at ross.

I love the Wade Playoff, But i found that the shoe lacked a bit of ankle support, and cushioning was also a concern. Go buy an insole from sofsole or spenco cause the shoes fit big anyway.

The 1.3 seems to address the ankle support issue.
I thought the traction was ok on the Wade Playoff on most surfaces.
