Stability and durability first...light weight if possible

I usually play with the ASICS gel resolution line. Most recently I have been playing with the 6. I usually go through 2 pair during the 6 month sole warranty. They usually wear the most in the toe. I do slide quite a bit, even though I probably shouldn’t, and play on hard courts.

I need to buy some new shoes, but just seeing if anyone had some advice on a lighter weight shoe. Due to my bad habit of sliding I just need to make sure they’ll have enough support not to roll my ankles.

Thanks in advance for the advice.
 
The Nike Cage 3 seems right up your alley. Light, firm enough cushion, and it hugs your foot for a supportive fit. The traction is fairly slippery, but it’s perfect if you slide on hard courts, which I do. I have about 30 hours of play and 15 hours of teaching on them, and I just got through the toes and foam up front. They’re definitely still playable, though, as it’s only that one spot. I got comparable time from the Resolutions, but these were much more enjoyable to wear for my foot shape. Plus, they have a durability guarantee.
 
Perfect! Thank you! How does the size fit? The Asics for true to size and I'm an 11.

I have a narrow, low-volume foot, so I’m maybe not the best to ask. I went with my true size, and they’re about perfect after one wear. For reference, Solution Speed 2s And 3s are best in my true size for me too, but I’ve gone a half size up and been fine in the 3s before. Resolutions I’m best with my true size.
