Jordan Stay Loyal 2

Shocked it’s not 100% Nike considering they seem to be the most behind with performance lately

[@joaocandido3124]

their performance is fine all of their shoes are kobes

[@sydvicious]

The AE 1 lows fit me just like the mids, perfect. I guess it’s a foot shape thing.

[@np9068]

Same, honestly my favorite hoop shoe right bow

[@juanitojhunosabado5714]

Same, followed my same shoe size as the mids. Got 9.5 on the lows then fix the shoe laces. My AE 1 mids & lows are my favorite hoop shoes.

[@jessiejames1681]

Most reviews say the AE 1 lows are amazing.

[@JavonWeaver]

Man, they fit me perfect too. I fucks with the Ant 1 mids and lows. I hoop in both of them.

[@jchung1506]

Thanks for PSA, Tommy. I don’t buy crappy shoes because I watch your reviews first before buying anything. 👍

[@TommyLiu4]

😂😂😂 I actually didn’t even bother to try it haha is it that bad

[@tiefenverspannt]

@@TommyLiu4 i watched the reviews by Foot Doctor Zach and Nightwing, and they had no clue why this product even exists. Like nobody asked for this. I saw it in stores myself and foreal it looks cheaper than some Walmart shoes

Hey Tommy, where do you usually find these shoes on sale in Toronto? Everywhere I go, they are at full price or sold out 😢

[@TommyLiu4]

@@malavkapadia7612 Hey! I go all over the places regularly. It’s hard to tell which store might have what tbh I even drive across the border at times to shop 😂

[@malavkapadia7612]

@@TommyLiu4 it really looks like driving across the border is the best option. I've gone to every NB store in the city and none of them carry the two ways or kawhis. I had to order them online at full price 😭😭

[@joemacch6284]

Puma basketball shoes have sizing issues and are underperforming the market. Same with NB with possible exception being the Kawahi 3. Otherwise I don’t like new balance in the basketball space especially with no 12.5;size being manufactured in most of their models. Not a fan of either company in the basketball space.

[@TianHuang-lf3ko]

Tommy, is the kobe 8 protro good? Is it worth buying? Is there any aspect of it that make it top teir? Like traction?

[@TommyLiu4]

Never bought a pair.

[@frank___]

Which is better, Harden vol 7 or AE1?

[@TommyLiu4]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/paWTqXR8q9d0qKMsi=Jm4bpqSKLXYekOlE

[@e2ek1ell]

Real good feedback on the AE1`s I was really contemplating getting them (can`t find my size in any store around) and there was only 1/2 size up available, but I guess after this I`ll just go with another option.

[@lawrence208]

Everyone's feet is going to be different, The AE1 mids hurt my feet and were too long and narrow. The lows are better suited for wide feet and fit much my feet better.

[@christiantac-an3921]

Can you review the AC12 summer colorway?

[@TommyLiu4]

👌 Will look into that.

[@yamirrojas2948]

Just played in the AE 1 lows n are my favorite hoop shoes right now. The comfort is amazing.

[@mirkovaldizan2941]

GREAT VIDEO BROOOO🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@Chad5ter]

Never been a Nike guy just because 90% hoopers go Nike lol. I loved my Two Wxy v3. Got the Two Wxy v4. They feel weird, but the traction is almost as great as the v3. Just bought the Don Issue 6 and I’m in love with them. Great containment. No more knees soreness. The traction isn’t as good as Two Wxy v3, but still solid. Just a slight heel slippage that makes me buzzing tho. Will probably look for Two Wxy v5 in the future. Love NB shoes !

There such a great shoe.. traction is elite..Comfort is beautiful and the looks are fire.. just a lil on heavy side

[@stefanm.1961]

bhahah ... read any other review its one of the best shoes of the year

[@Steve-xt2ze]

Great video. I assumed all li ning were better than all American shoes minus Adidas. I haven't been able to enjoy or rely on Adidas since ultra boost. The foam is too soft. I have the harden volume 5 McDonald's. Very similar to AE1. Heavy, stuff, and big heel slippage. I would like a comparison of new balance vs li ning and Nike or your opinion. I play more center, PF, F

[@TommyLiu4]

Thank you!! Much appreciate the advice 🙏👌

lol sounds like you just need to fucking quit. Stop playing basketball lol, it’s not for everyone.

[@braxtonrosato1991]

I have 3 pairs of MBs and I’ve never played in them, mostly wear them for style…I learned a long time that the cooler looking the shoe, the crappier the performance, with the exception of Way of Wade, almost every one of those shoes looks good and function perfectly
