Category Performance Ratings
9.0
Traction
Sticky rubber outsole with narrow tread pattern. Excellent grip on clean courts, but dust-sensitive and needs frequent wiping.
7.8
Cushion
Lightweight FuelCell foam in a low-to-the-ground setup. It's a firm, responsive ride with limited plushness and modest impact protection.
8.8
Materials
Mesh, suede, genuine leather, and TPU overlays. Premium-feeling, breathable, and structured materials that exceed the price point.
7.8
Support
Internal heel counter, chunky shank, and wide base. Provides solid lateral and torsional stability with adequate containment.
8.0
Fit
Snug half-bootie midfoot with roomier toe box. Forefoot and midfoot tend to run narrow; lockdown improves after break-in.
33%
Outdoor
Narrow treads wear down on rough courts, so outdoor use is limited.
small
large
Sizing
Generally true to size for most players. Wide footers may prefer half a size up or the 2E version.
narrow
wide
Width
Runs narrow in the forefoot and midfoot. Best for narrow to regular feet; wide footers should use 2E or size up.

At $110, the New Balance P350 is a solid performer. It looks great and delivers good materials, fit, and support. The main downside is traction on very dusty courts.

Overall, great performer. The New Balance P350 is a more affordable Kawhi 4 with no downgrades. If you like the look, you'll be happy with this purchase.

February 28, 2026
Overall, the New Balance P350 is a very good shoe and probably my favourite New Balance model to date. Traction and materials are strong, and the low-profile cushion works for guards, but the support and the heel counter could use improvement.

The New Balance P350 is an odd but likable shoe. Materials and toe-box comfort punch above the $110 price. Cushion and traction are serviceable after break-in, and the fit works for many.

The traction is really good on clean courts. It grips well and stops on a dime. However, it picks up dust quickly on very dusty courts and needs frequent wiping.

Traction has been excellent. It's very grippy, and I could get to a hard stop every time. It picks up a thin layer of dust, but it's easy to wipe off.

The traction is stupid grippy out of the box. It performs great indoors and feels durable enough for outdoor use.

The traction is very sticky and performs well on clean courts. It picks up dust and needs a few wipe-downs to keep its grip consistent.

The cushioning is firm and responsive. You get some heel impact protection but not much bounce. The setup favours quick, shifty players rather than those who want a lot of spring.

Cushioning is sufficient. Not plush, but you get a subtle bounce. It's responsive with a low-to-the-ground court feel.

The cushioning is a low-profile Fuel Cell with good feedback. It sits close to the floor and softens a bit after breaking in.

February 28, 2026
The cushioning is lightweight FuelCell. It is basic but effective once broken in. It's not super plush or highly responsive, but it works fine and benefits from an orthotic.

Support is solid. An internal heel counter and a wide base provide containment and lateral stability. I had no heel slippage and felt stable on hard cuts.

Containment is adequate, and lateral stability felt okay during movements.

Support is lacking. The heel counter is weak, and torsion support is minimal, so the shoes get very soft when warmed up.

Torsional stability and the chunky shank keep you steady, but ankle containment and the heel counter are just okay.

The fit is close and snug thanks to the half-bootie. There is no dead space, and I liked the lockdown. The forefoot is narrow and may feel tight for wider feet.

Containment and midfoot space are just enough. It didn't squeeze my feet, and lateral movements felt okay.

The fit is snug and low-volume. A moulded arch rode up and caused some initial chafing, but it broke in and became comfortable.

February 28, 2026
The fit is generous in the toe box, but the midfoot hugs the foot, making it feel narrow. Heel slippage is mild, and the tongue gusset helps once things break in.

I think this would be fine for outdoor use, too, but I'm not entirely sure since I haven't tested much outdoors.

The outsole feels thick and durable, so the shoe is viable for outdoor play. The cushioning might not be ideal for heavy outdoor use.

I’d keep these on indoor courts. The sticky rubber picks up dust, and the narrow treads wear down, so they’re not ideal for outdoor play.

They come in D and 2E widths. The midfoot runs narrow, so choose D if you have a narrower medium foot and 2E if you need more room.
