Traction:
Solid herring bone; very good to be honest. There were instances where I slipped, but it was probably because of my stride and how I landed. Bottomline, traction is amazing.
Fit:
I have a moderate to narrow foot, so it fits me well. If you have a wide foot I'd stay away or at least try them out in stores. I normally where a 8.5 or 9. I got a 9 and they fit perfectly. However in the lows, there is a little bit of a heel slip. The lockdown is not perfect in the heel, but it is bearable. The arch is almost non-existant, I wish I brought my insoles, but I did not plan playing pick up ball in HK.
Comfort:
Very comfortable, but as I said if I brought my insoles, it would be better since my arch would be supported. They are great nonetheless if your foot is moderate to narrow in width.
Breathability/Response/Flexibility:
Very breathable; I use UA or the Nike running socks (The ones that designate left and right foot). So my socks are practically dry when I'm done playing. Haven't tried with cotton, but I'm sure they'll be fine airflow is not an issue.
Very responsive. Even though the low is only forefoot zoom air and foam in the back, they are awesome if you are a speed & slash oriented player. This is a very guard friendly shoe.
Flexibility is tricky because after a few wears the hyperfuse and flywire look like new other than creasing in the midsole. There is not a lot of flex, but it does not hinder any movement or cause any discomfort while playing.
Ankle Support:
I cannot comment on this regarding the mid since I play in the low, but it is pretty stable in my opinion. If the heel slip could be corrected, it would have been perfect.
