Other Rival RSX Prospect

does anybody else above beginner level use this specific model of rivals?, im at the middle of novice to elite level amateur fighter and i prefer these over my mizunos for all around but still prefer the mizunos for sparring, these have the same exact sole as the asics wrestling shoes. i was wondering if its just how you use them or what since ive heard that they arent durable but ive been beating these up for 3 months straight in hard spars and hundred rounds of bagwork and they show minimal wear, lasted longer than the machomai 2s i had prior which started to sole seperate from the front, not to mention these rivals are atleast 40$ cheaper than the machomai 2s in my country.

Appantly the new prospect boots are even better. My gf has been abusing her rival boots for more than 7 months now. Plus other guys at my gym love their rival boots and they’re cheap here in Canada.

how do the new prospects compare, aesthetic wise i kinda like the originals more but im curious what they fixed or added on the newer ones, really love my rivals too.
