Mizuno Wave Enforce Court

[CVT]

TW and others are now carrying the Mizuno Wave Enforce Court, which is a slight variant of the Mizuno wave Enforce Tour. It looks very similar, but supposedly is for the recreational player that "doesn't need all of the bells and whistles." Does anyone know anything about this shoe and how it compares with the Tour version?

From appearances, it looks like it doesn't have the rubber exoskeleton support, doesn't have the collar around the ankle, and doesn't have the same lacing. It seems to have a more traditional tongue, which might be even better for a lot of us.

Thoughts?

In addition to what you mentioned, I think the other big differences will be:

1. Enforce Court uses a step down version of the Enerzy Core mid sole in the Tour. It's likely a more EVA based makeup which means it won't be as plush or energy returning and will likely bottom out faster, especially under aggressive play.
2. Outsole rubber is different. It is DuRubber in the Tour and X10 in the court. I'd expect this may make it less durable but that's probably going to be different person to person. In my experience the Enforce Tour was one of the fastest wearing shoes I've ever played in and I punched a hole in them in under 20 court hours. Rubber compound aside, the tread depth is pretty shallow, leaving them vulnerable to wearing out quick for aggressive movers.
