Is the synthetic leather upper durable?

Troubleshooting
Slipping on the court
Ensure the outsole is clean and free from debris. For persistent issues, confirm the court surface is suitable for the shoe's design.
Discomfort during play
Verify you have the correct size and fit. Ensure laces are tied appropriately, not too tight or too loose. Break-in period may be required for new shoes.
