I have the 2012 Tinkers and the UNCs. I love those shoes and they perform on the court. When I was on a bad court, I would always switch to the 2012. The traction NEVER let me down on any surface. The small fit is nice too in comparison to the big clunky shoes out there. What I really like is their ability to go from mid-top to high top by changing the inner boot, plus three different air insoles. Personally, they look dope to me, but to each their own, I suppose.
One thing I would say is that they are built for speed and agility more so than cushioning. Not a whole lot of bounce, but man they are quick on the court. If you have a fast game, these are great shoes for you.
