Review consensus

WearTesters calls the Player 1.5 the best shoe yet from Serious Player Only, praising its grippy, durable traction, PEBA-based drop-in cushioning and excellent lockdown. A carbon fiber heel counter and midfoot shank combine with a lateral TPU frame and a flat, wide base for strong torsional support, and the forefoot is less narrow than the Player 1 Plus. The drop-in midsole setup is noted as not suiting everyone.

About the shoe

The Player 1.5 is the on-court performance model from Australian brand Serious Player Only and the successor to the Player 1 Plus, worn by Jonathan Mogbo. The brand lists upgrades including a thinner tongue, a new foot shape with an inner sleeve, a grip lining for lockdown and a 3D carbon fibre heel counter. Cushioning moves to the drop-in Explosive 2.0 midsole on an extended EVA base and anti-pinch TPU frame, with less prominent midsole sidewalls than earlier models. It retails for $190.
