Nice to see you on KZbin man. I have seen you on instagram

I love the gt cut 2s. I have the christmas color way and i have had no problem for them especially with the tongue. Np with the break in time either. Otherwise great vid!

[@jrdatrackstar]

Weird, I never had the tongue problem with the Cut 2 but I had heel slippage. Everything else was near perfect for me, the cushioning is insane and the traction was perfect for me. They took a lot of time to break-in like you said but after that they were great (other than the heel slippage). I do think colorway changes performance because my colorway has a really really thick tongue, vs the other versions I've seen have a really thin nylon like tongue. Because of the Lebron 21 and Lebron 16 I haven't even touched them but I may use them as outdoor kicks down the road (or just donate them lol).

[@ls_hoops]

Very interesting! Could really be the thicker tongue that makes the difference here. Haha yeah those others do sound like some nice options 💯🤩

[@e2ek1ell]

Funny how 3 of the main shoes in my rotation are given as pairs to avoid 😅 I guess to each his own as someone who works on feet health and strength I prefer not having the shank so my foot can be free and it allows me to react and jump quicker but I guess for people who have lazy feet and have weaken the ligaments in their feet it might be needed. Still I`d recommend maybe getting some barefoot shoes to work out in. Informative review though and a nice touch to offer an opinion on alternatives. Keep the good work !

You should put the victory insoles in the gt hustle 2

[@Goatsnkrs]

If you have the wow son of flash can you please do a review on them.

[@emmanuelrama4604]

Hey Lukas! Have you heard about EQLZ 247 shoes? Designed by Aaron Cooper, Are they great shoes?

[@delta6847]

Would you recommend the nike gt cut Academy as a budget shoe?

[@rafaeldasillo-vc4bk]

Can you do freak 5?

[@sl33py68]

Hey! Did you ever get the chance to test out the Anta Shock Wave 5? If so what did you think of it?

[@ls_hoops]

Yes, I liked them!

[@BlasiusKarachus]

Why didnt you make that video two weeks earlier?! 😂 Got the GT Hustle 2 because they look fantastic in the lemon colorway. But as you said, they have ZERO torsional support… i sprained my ankle after 15 Minutes without any other players impact. Please all stay away from the GT Hustle 2 unless you want a break from playing basketball.

[@ls_hoops]

Noooo I’m sorry about that bro! I agree they look amazing tho 🥲

[@zuko_fraggs]

I love my gt cut 2’s 😔

[@ls_hoops]

Posting an updated gt cut 2 review tomorrow!

nice video Luka, have u tested Dame Certified? what ur opinion bout them?

[@ls_hoops]

Thanks! No sadly never tried those

[@adnelyt5027]

yo luke just a question, im mostly looking for a very durable and amazing fraction, im thinking of buying son of flash? should I do it?

[@ls_hoops]

I’ve never had that pair but heard great things! I think they will be perfect for your needs

[@zadri3331]

I say ja 1. Traction is only one good thing about the shoe. Fit is tragic, if you have wide feet go size up or don’t buy them. When I was playing in those I have a feeling that I will do something bad with my ACL. For me is a really bad shoe

[@ls_hoops]

Very interesting, I actually enjoyed them after like 5 wears of break in

[@3FingerCombo]

U might be the only one with this problem cuz they are highly recommended by a lot of KZbinrs and me personally they’re great. Lockdown is great too

[@milicaradovic2686]

Gt cut 2s are not that bad for me probably because I m not a wide footer but for the toung I never had problems

[@ls_hoops]

Interesting that you didn’t have issues with the tongue! Glad they work for you 💯

I had ro return the zion 3. Heavy, no grip, narrow, and took long to put on. Good looking shoe but garbage.

[@Elias444shorts]

No entiendo el odio en los gt cut 2 one of the best shoes I used but I have to give it time using it but ohh boy get it if can

Servus! I just discovered your channel! I did my erasmus in Kapfenberg four years ago, I used to play a lot of bb on a court next to the river. Unfortunately I never went to watch a game in Kapfenberg nor Graz :(

[@ls_hoops]

Servus! Wow what a coincidence haha! Sucks that you never went to watch a game, but back then I was still in the 2nd league so we wouldn’t have met. Sadly also don’t know the court you mentioned, will ask a teammate of mine he’s from kapfenberg

[@pedropggPP]

@@ls_hoops The court is near the campus and Krottemdorf, you must go under the railway bridge and there's a park with a court. In summer you find quite some people to play with

[@kleinotoman9591]

gt hustle has no shank plate, but how does it compare to the zoom freak 5? because it has no shank plate too.

[@ls_hoops]

Great question! Interestingly enough I feel way more secure in the freak 5. The cushioning isn’t as soft and wobbly as well

[@kleinotoman9591]

@@ls_hoops thanks for the respond! how's the durability of the zoom freak 5? is it worth getting too?

[@ls_hoops]

If you get a pair with a slid rubber outsole it’s pretty good imo

@@ls_hoops which one do you prefer?

[@Chavanun555]

Bro so with like a 100 shoe in your collection do u just left them on the shelf when are bored with them or u jsut eventually give them away or the shoe just broke down tok much for a pro to play?

[@ls_hoops]

I actually do all of that. I have some favorites that I always go back to, I give away some of them, sell some of them and keep some broken pairs I’m attached to in my collection :)
