Man, them Curry 9s saved my basketball playing days. Almost 38 and ever since I copped mine, I have been able to play longer and more like my normal self. Also working out seems to work better for my legs when wearing them. Especially the knees. Craziest thing ever. The grip I think is why?!?!?

[@KeithKill92]

31 now and have ankle problems, so I focus a lot more on the tech of a sneaker now rather than solely looks like I used to. What is it about the 9’s that benefit you?

[@lemini4k]

@@KeithKill92 My foot does not slide around like it normally does, I have great traction to the gym floor and even outside. I have two pairs one for indoor and outdoor. What has helped is also taking 20LB ankle weights as well and doing some leg extensions (sitting on something with your feet not touching the floor) real slow, foam roll for a bit and finish off with a wall squat for a few mins. Pretty much it for me and I'm good to go. Also have always had a problem with my right ankle so I usually do some band stretches and also stand on a yoga box (or elevated surface) and let my foot kind of hang and stretch it with the weight. That stretch also helps the groins.

[@spitsmagoo2446]

I also have curry 9’s and this has been the most comfortable shoe for training and basketball. Definitely exceeded my expectations. I never have foot injuries anymore and the traction is insane
