Traction on all pairs have been pretty good for me… haven’t really had any issues. Trying to think about experiences with different materials but nothing stands out, so my guess is ymmv. There wasn’t really much of a difference in the solid or translucent material of the 20’s for me either.
As far as differences in cushioning, I honestly can’t say that I feel a huge difference with different pairs… and I own 8 different colorways. Not saying anyone that has experienced that is making it up, my guess is maybe they just have a better eye or feel for that kinda stuff than I do. As long as it feels good and the cushion hasn’t bottomed out or the zoom bag popped it’s all good imo.

If anything the only difference I can tell right away is with the upper material. Some like the patent leather pearls are more stiff, others like the FW are pretty supportive.
