SALES PITCH:
With minimalist features, these Reebok shoes are constructed with one goal in mind—to keep the weight light as a feather.
HOW IT TESTED:
The Centre Court II Lite seems to be geared to those who prefer their sneakers to be more like socks. It’s a shoe that provides limited stability and support and gives your feet tremendous freedom. It’s extremely light and airy, which will keep your feet cool. But it also has an inadequate flex point, and because it’s so insubstantial, it doesn’t have much in the way of support and stability features. The EVA outsole is extremely slick, so the Centre Court II should work best on a hard, tacky surface.
BOTTOM LINE:
Only for players who put the highest premium on playing with an extremely light shoe.
