I can say, with experience, that I have had multiple pairs that gained improved traction/grip after wearing/playing in them. This has happened with certain colorways of certain models too. I've had a pair that felt like I was skating until around 4-5 hours of use and now they're like flypaper and grab every time that I need them to. As for the outside "contamination theory", I used to believe that until I would wipe down my outside pairs and play with them indoors and discover that the theory doesn't apply to every single pair. For me, it depends on if the traction shows visible signs of heavy usage vs. minimal usage.I want to know who started this whole "traction needs to be broken in" ****. Thats a bunch of horse crap.
I have never had a shoe's traction "get better" after breaking in. It's either good or its not. If you take a shoe right from the box to the court, in my experience the traction remains the same. Now if you've contaminated the bottoms so to speak by wearing them casually and getting the bottoms dirty, then you may need to clean the bottoms off or play in them until the contaminants come off (outside dirt, oil, dust, etc).
One shoe tuber says some off the wall **** and the rest bite and speak it like its gospel. FOH with whoever started the whole "break in the traction" crap, thats a bunch of baloney.
I disagree
The 2 was my favorite, they just didn't have the colorways or themes

I respect his reviews, but he did mention the rubber is something you need to break in for indoor courts.
Lebrons and Hardens have good cushioning.I really need a new shoe for basketball but I want some cushion coming from the 3s. What other models should I look at?

Yo the orange pair with the teal bottoms are fire lookingDon't laugh, but the UA HOVR Havoc lows are a damn fine shoe for $105.
@GrizzlyAnimal You’re welcome bro!
It isn’t the pattern that gets better - sometimes, on certain colorways, the runner ends up with a finish on it, like a polish or compound, that doesn’t allow the rubber to react to the surface. Once you wear that compound or finish off, the traction is “broken in” and grip will improve. We used to take our shoes in high school out on the driveway/pavement and wear off the compound on black soles and they immediately got better.
so cushioning is meh and traction is suspect?
