Grip Spray for Shoes

I recently bought a 'limited release' shoe but I'm very disappointed with it since the grip/ traction is really bad on dusty courts compared to other 'performance' basketball shoes that I have. It somewhat collects more dust than normal in between the grooves of the sole making it very slippery to play in. I need to clean them before every game and often need to wipe off the dust in games which is very annoying.

I don't want to get rid of the pair just yet, so wondering if anyone has used those grip sprays that are available online? Any that you would recommend?

Use cheap hair spray, both last about 5 minutes max.

In the olden days, we just used to wipe the soles with our sweaty hands. Got rid of the dust from the shoes and got rid of the sweat on the hands.

You modern guys expect so much :)

Good comment, Ushiro, I'd totally forgot about that!. Every break in play, free throws etc everyone on the court was standing on one leg wiping there hands on the soles of their shoes

I still wipe my palms on the sole of my shoes every break. Some of these regional courts are dusty as.

Facilities in schools are the worst ... and seemingly most associations just don't care enough to invest in having someone wipe down/dust the court with any sort of regularity
