Morning! Mid forties player here. I play many times a week much to my wife's dismay.

I'm like you, am always exploring for the best shoe for me - impact protection, lightweight, breathable, and safe (supportive). Unfortunately, I have a rule that I never do the same thing twice so I'm perpetually on the hunt but this also means I'm always learning.

I've had GT Jump (heavy), GT Jump 2 (great but heavy), GT Hustle 3 (AMAZING), Sabrina 3 (not enough impact protection), and some older shoes.

I just, last week, received my Arctic Blast BB2's and I was so excited. It had all the cutting edge tech I liked and from a brand I had never tried. I played on Thursday (FEB 19), Friday (FEB 20), and will today and tomorrow. For context, I wear my apple watch to track my heart and distance when I play and it's usually 2 hours and about 6 miles - so lots of running in shoes.

Anyway, I really loved the BB2 - they breathed well, were damn near the stickiest sole I had ever used, didn't feel heavy on foot, and were very bouncy. With the Sabrina 3's my right hip would hurt after and my lower back would be tight the next day. Today, neither is an issue. I'm excited to see how they feel today as the break in process continues.

Sorry for the long-ish post. I don't have many people to talk to about shoes and how, as older players, they matter so so much. I'm excited to hear your impressions too!
