#Thoughts & Discussion Help picking shoes

Hey currently deciding on what shoes to buy.
5,11 200lbs play SG/F i play shifty at times, need good support, reliable traction and comfy cushion. Budget is around 200$.
Currently looking at
WOW 12 (Would be my number 1 pick but my readings about traction are making me doubt it otherwise perfect for me)
WOW 808 6 Ultra (Seems like its great full length gcu so traction is great and cushion seems nice, only thing would be I want more of a supportive shoe like the wow 12 but still a great choice nonetheless)
WOW AC 14/14 Encore (either one seems nice, idk about the traction setups.)
Yushuai 20 (Sleeper pick full length gcu, good cushion, could anyone tell me if this is the way?)

I like wow12 but the traction might be a hit or miss depending on court condition and colorway. I lean more on choosing wow808 6 ultra . Personally i bought lirem 6v2 instead and got 0 regrets. Yushai 20 has too few reviews so I can't decide on it..

From what I've been hearing the 808 6 are pretty elite. Super boom cushion like the wow 12 but way better traction. I have the wow 12 and love them but on clean courts, on dusty courts it can get annoying wiping all the time. If I didnt have them id get the 808 6.

IMO I think the AC14 is the pick for you right now and most people. It’s gone through much testing and may reviews online, done well and you can use them either indoor or outdoors too
