I'm with your regarding the 11's "Should be" unplayable based on his review. I had containment but no traction issues in the 10's. He was sliding on the court in 11's, not sure how they're better than the 10's.
I know courts varied and I took my 10's to good and bad courts with no issues.
If he's 5'6 doesn't slash and had containment issues, imagine players that are bigger and slash.
I'm not arguing against, NW. I appreciate and respect his reviews. The Curry 5 review was strange. "Maybe" UA provided him with another pair to test. I actually had a lot of respect for him after the first review. He wanted to like the shoes but didn't because they were bad for his feet.
You should've half sized down on the CLB18
