Puma TRC Blaze Court Review
Pros:
Lightweight and supportive
Comfortable cushioning
Cons:
The outsole rubber is not durable
Materials feel cheap
Performance of the Puma TRC Blaze Court:
The traction pattern of the Puma TRC Blaze Court performed phenomenally for most reviewers, but dust pickup can be an issue.
Puma's Trinomic cushioning is soft and responsive, and one reviewer said it was the most bouncy cushioning they've tested.
The materials feel cheap, but they do keep the shoe feeling lightweight on foot.
The support features are strategically placed around the shoe to reinforce the lockdown and containment of the shoe.
Overall, the Puma TRC Blaze Court is an exceptional performer that could've been even better if not for some consistency issues.

Overall, I really like the way the Puma TRC Blaze Court performs. My only gripe is that you sit high on the midsole, but that didn't hinder performance. You feel agile and supported.

I've barely got to test these out. They fit comfy, and I had high hopes. Expect after 2 practice session and the following match, the sole already came apart. The literally didn't make it 1 week. I expect this to be an outlier in quality/bad glueing, but I cannot recommend these based on my experience lasting this little.

 These shoes are great when you’re fresh on the court. But when you get tired, the lack of cushioning really starts wearing down your feet. I get blisters every time I play in them. If you have a lot of stamina, I recommend them, but if not, I would stay away. They’re also beginning to rip by the eyelets.

puma made a very good effort with this shoe but the materials are not good at all, I had to change 2 pairs of shoes because the sole came off from the bottom on both. they were very comfortable for me even if they didn't have the best traction. I took Luka 1 and calmed down

The shoes were alright but the durability is terrible, I had two pairs because they sent me a replacement pair, both times the tread came off within 4 games right where the plate is exposed.
