Lately, my game has been so good I’m confident I could get into the NBA if I really tried – and I’m 27. Scoff all you want, but I’m so serious!

My secret? This handy little 2-oz Sneaker Grip Spray from EDGE. It gives my shoes the traction they need, so I’m not slipping all over the court. And while EDGE has been the hottest thing in basketball lately, it turns out it helps you dominate in most indoor sports (think volleyball, dance, boxing… the list goes on).

Come with me while I tell you more about this spray, and how any athlete should have at least one in their back pocket.

The Edge of Greatness

So what on earth is EDGE Spray, even?

I think of it simply as a grip enhancer, although out loud I call it my cheat code. For any of your rubber-soled shoes, the formula absorbs into your outsole, elasticizes it, and makes even the dustiest court into a playable one. 

By enhancing traction, you’re not only going to be the best player you can be, you’re minimizing chances of slips and falls. Injuries are truly any athlete’s worst nightmare (raise your hand if you’ve ever wiped out after an ankle-breaking cross), so prevention is the name of the game.

Now, I will admit that when I first looked into EDGE, the claim of changing the chemistry of my shoes raised an eyebrow for me. I thought I’d be ruining my shoes or inhaling toxins every time I sprayed it, or both. But this formula uses biodegradable green solvents, meaning it’s safe for you, your shoes, AND the environment. And it turns out, with less slipping around, you’re prolonging the life of your favorite shoes by 98%. Read that again: 98%!

Plus, EDGE is the easiest thing ever – spray on soles, wait 15 seconds, and enjoy your shoes at max power. It’s a breeze to apply before a spontaneous pickup game, or to re-apply during a water break. Their 2-pack lasts a LONG time – you get 160 sprays, which for me equals 160 games for just $0.31 per game.  

All-Around Excellence

I’ve been talking about basketball a lot, but the uses of this Sneaker Grip Spray are endless. I decided to test it out during some of my other favorite activities, and here’s how it held up:

• Dance: One of my favorite pastimes with my partner is taking a dance class. It’s fun to try something new, shake your groove thang, and impress someone who knows you so well with some unexpected moves. I found that for precise movements – popping and locking, for example – EDGE was a lifesaver. But, for moves and styles where I need to be able to slide and glide around the dance floor, that extra grip goes from super nice to a total pain. Depending on what you're doing on the dance floor EDGE is either a 1/5 or a 4/5.

• Boxing: The best form of cardio – period. EDGE is perfect for bobbing, weaving, and putting even more force behind your hooks (25% grip improvement is no joke!). Plus, it really helped with balance while sparring, an outcome I didn’t foresee. I didn’t just feel more powerful, I felt more confident. 5/5.

• Volleyball: Even though I suck at it, I will never stop trying to do it. And I have to say, EDGE was an absolute game-changer for my performance. Instead of having to concentrate on hand-foot coordination, I only had to nail the hands, and I actually managed to help my team instead of hindering them. It has me thinking maybe it was the shoes all along… 5/5.

That’s not even an exhaustive list! There are reviews applauding how EDGE supports performance during fencing, futsal, squash, racquetball, table tennis… and anything else a little extra grip could help with.

Whatever way I’m using it, I know I love it because I keep the extra spray bottle in my car, just in case an athletic competition breaks out unexpectedly or I need to dance battle for my life.
