5 Nike Basketball Shoes You Should NOT Buy… And Why!

[@TommyLiu4]

Any shoes that you regret buying this year? Doesn’t have to be Nike.

[@elvinh5078]

might be just me but I really didn't like the Why Not .5, weird fit and bad traction...

[@jasminegattison9135]

[@micazu93]

i'm not sure if this will work to everybody, base on my personal experience the best way to break in your shoe is not to wear it right away after purchasing to the gym. i suggest to wear them by short walk around for 2-3 days for them to mold it to your feet from heal to toe..it actually make sense for me as a fast guard because if you hoop in it on its very first game without the walking break in there are some parts of the shoe that will overstretch due to high intensity of stops and cuts that may result to total uncomfort on every ride as the shoe aged..yes there are shoes that i've worn that require short to no time to break in like the kyrie line but the issue is oi outdoor playing will realy bust the outsole and once the zoom is exposed either you'll the traction or loose the cussion...for me best set up for outdor use is lightstike and react

[@zippoliu]

Totally agree with your opinion that take 2-3 days walking on new shoes is a good way to break out hoop shoes

[@jakerestrivera9781]

I agree 💯 that's the best way to break-in new shoes... 👍

[@stuartward2007]

The Giannis Immortality 2, so uncomfortable and it is not good for wide feet

[@wiind24]

Keep up the great work! Finally someone with that feels my pain. Wide foot and foot sizing

[@TommyLiu4]

Thank you! Ikr, sizing and fit are so important. 🙏

[@ruddog555]

I absolutely love my cosimic unities. they fit me like a glove and the cushioning is very good the traction works well even on very dusty courts and the support isn't an issue either

[@AceX_TTV]

same the cosmics are very comfy and i never had an problem with them

[@ШисуиУчиха-ю8р]

The immortality’s are not bad at all, I went half size up and it took me 2 practices to break in, now they fit perfectly and it’s a good budget shoe

[@JCF9000]

What about the ankle protection? Do you feel safe or is the material very soft?

[@suitboy432]

I actually like the Inmortality 2, im im wide footer, but it doesnt feel any bad feelings about it, as a budget shoe i rlly enjoyed it. But i recognize that are many better options for the same or lower price. Anyways, nice video bro!

[@TommyLiu4]

Thanks man!! 🙏😃 That’s nice, yeah Idk why I had such different experiences with the 1st and 2nd Immortality’s while getting the same size…

[@JCF9000]

immortality 2s fit was perfect for me comfy, light, and pretty responsive, ankle protection isnt the best for its price id say a 8/10

[@albertwood2573]

I actually like the 1st immortality shoe. Of course my feet run on the narrow side. But they were reminiscent of early Kobe shoes in comfort and fit. To me at least. Wish I could get Kobe’s now.

[@TommyLiu4]

Man same I wish we could still just walk into a store and buy a pair of Kobe’s… And I also liked the first Immortality’s, just that the 2 became tighter so caused me some good amount of soreness.

[@aceingtonn7594]

my kd 15s were great in tts, my jordan 37s were the worst shoe i’ve ever put on. gave them to my friend and they felt the same heel and forefoot pain

[@nicholasbriolabriola_f20]

I have the immortality 2 and i have a flat feet, and at the start, after like five 5 min. i was feeling some pain, but then i found that i was wearing the shoes too tight in the mid part of the foot , found that problem i feel very well with this shoes

[@TommyLiu4]

Yes decent shoe!

[@sammallory]

I love the Lebron 19 but I am 6'3" 290lbs size 11.5 wide but I play more like a big body in the paint so I can see why they dont do it for you. Perfect for a big guy.

[@TommyLiu4]

I gotta say that’s true. Definitely a much better option for a big who plays inside the paint a lot.

[@Lp0tr33]

I got the Lebron 19 for $100 and still can't recommend it at that price. The cushion doesn't feel as nice as the GT Jumps or the Lebron 10s. And the traction is terrible, if you are a big man that sweats a lot you will be ice skating a lot. GT Jumps are the Jokic shoes but can't rec those either because I blew a flat tire after only 61 days from purchase.

[@TommyLiu4]

[@TommyLiu4]

Thank you!! Yup video on that coming up 😃😃 Been playing in the WOW 10s these past couple of times.

[@ty-t-rich8455]

KD 15 is one of my favorite shoes because of the cushion

[@pygrosguy16]

What do you think about KD Trey 5 10s? Saw the review in your channel but wanna ask again. I'm 6'6 169lbs

[@TommyLiu4]

I think it’s a pretty good shoe with decent comfort, light on feet and traction works well. Upper stability is a downside but a solid budget shoe overall.

[@picaburk7027]

i have the golden version of nike cosmic unity 2 (the color combination reminds me of a god bro ... something like Zeus) for my feet they are very comfy and the tightness is perfect (in my opinion) ... the grip on them is amazing ... especially on a wooden court, like i never slipped in them ... also the ankle support in my opinion is AMAZING ... nice video tho :)

[@HimanshuSingh-jy6tg]

Bro im a 98 kg person and wide foot which shoe is good for me giannis immortality or puma court rider?????plz reply

[@BlueJimmie48Fan]

Is the Immortality 2 fine just for walking? I'm not much of a basketball player nowadays, but I enjoy the Giannis line in more of a casual sense.

[@TommyLiu4]

In that case they should be fine. But I’d still recommend going up a half size for the best fit.

[@vishnutejchennuru8996]

bro which shoe is better nike gt jump 2 or nike precision 6

[@laxick06]

What's the best outdoor between these 4? Kyrie Low 5, KD Trey 5, Elevate Renew 3, Precision 6

[@TommyLiu4]

Precision 6, or Kyrie Low 5 if it’s the XDR rubber version.

Are jordan 37 lows any better? Cause im planning to buy them and they have some changes in materials from 37 mids

[@zacaryvanheyde1435]

My friend bought the immortality 2 and the burst open like zion mid game

[@Signus635]

Even though you the facts that you mentioned about the LeBron 19 highs are quite true, I feel that the cushion of the shoes compensates for the other faults. However I do mention this as a person that plays both center and power forward, and finds cushioning more important than a lot of other factors within a basketball shoe.

[@buraknursen7002]

how about Giannis Immortality 3 for volleyball?

[@sonymangames]

If I had to choose between Giannis Immortality 2, Lebron witness 5 and KD trey 5 X (because of avalibility in my area), which one would you recommend (6'4, 190 lbs)? Or maybe you got some other recommendations?

[@TommyLiu4]

KD Trey 5 X is the best out of those in my opinion. I think the Giannis Immortality 2 is just a no-go especially given your build. Other than that the Air Impact 3 is also not a bad choice, the 4 just came out too and also the Harden Stepback 3 if you consider other brands.

[@sonymangames]
