Verdict
A wide, stable hard-court shoe that lasts a rec season if you are hard on laterals.
The yellow spin frame club players still mean when they say Aero—Gen9 is a bit more muted than the 2023 beast, still the clearest primary demo in the spin lane.
A comfortable modern 98 that gives rec regulars easy depth without a boardy, tour-stiff feel.
