The Bottom Line: For the medium to expert player who relies on your movement, this is a must!

Andre Agassi, one of all time greatest returners of all time, and one of the most efficient movers in the game wore these shoes. Many other great movers in the professional world wore it too, including, ahem, Lleyton Hewitt. Both of these players had one thing in common, the knew how to move to the ball. Fluidity on the court is a must and the proper tennis shoe must facilitate that.

The mesh outside provides cool comfort in the hottest conditions. Although not protecting against the blisters from the hot surface below, it does allow you to gain some more breathing room, so it feels cooler. They are light enough that while playing these shoes merge with your feet to make it seem as if you are one and you don't even think twice about it. I have wore these shoes for three years after I saw Agassi wear them. I am quick and nible around the court and was dissapoint and upset with the Reebok shoes Roddick wore when he was first on the tour. At around $95, these shoes are expensive, but definitely worth it for a seasoned veteran who knows what they want.

It will improve your game; I feel like I became a much better mover on court with these shoes, giving me that 1/2 a second that allowed me to reach drops shots and running forehands. It trained me to move my feet more, because you knew that if you didn't make it to a ball it wasn't your shoes fault.

The one problem these shoes have is durability. They are quite flexible and will mold to your feet well, but if you drag your toes or slide/skid a lot around the court, then I would recommend trying to find a better shoe more suited to your movement. I certainly was always taught to keep my feet on the ground after a shot, it kept the control over my forehand and backhand, and allowed me to reach those extra low far reaching volleys. I developed a problem with these shoes when I noticed on each pair they developed holes from the wear and tear quite quickly. These shoes lasted me approximately 3 months, with playing about 4 times a week on average.

They do come in good colors: black, white, and red white and blue. So i would reccomend if you want something fancy buy all three types and rotate them (That's what I ended up doing to save some money on shipment and time spent purchasing them).

Its a good buy if you want some light quick shoes.
