Always good to see your reviews. What is your top 5 hoop shoes right now?

[@jpalacesneakers]

I'll give you 3 for now, for my playstyle in no particular order. Fresh Foam BB V2 one of the most underrated hoop shoes, super comfortable and landings are really cushioned 😍😍 Way of Wade 808 3 V2 - Super grippy and low to the ground for that ground attack I love, plus do trust it on a dusty court 🤞🙏 KD16 - the Aunt Pearl that particular colorway is super solid, quality materials, heat 🔥 color, can do a bit of everything in it, not too low, not too high off the ground, plush feeling, I dig the plush feeling when done right I would have to think a bit more to add 2 more to the list, but I'm really hyped to play more in the AG4 SOAR. I just get hyped to use new kicks on the court! I feel they have huge potential, but I need a few more sessions in them and against good competition to move them up.

Im really enjoying the Kd 16 in the blue purple colorway with the translucent sole. It’s the most comfortable shoe and so balanced. I’ve been really curious about the Fresh Foam BB V2 in the purple colorway and the 808 series. I’m usually a size 11.5 or 12 depending on the shoe. Way of Wade doesn’t make a 11.5 but they have 12 so it’s a gamble to order.

@ultramagnetic3164 The Fresh Foam BB V2 is a must in my book, I have other shoes that are low to the ground but the BBV2 is for days you want to experiment getting up high and can have confidence coming down. They are one of the most comfortable shoes I've had in a while!

Hey just a question I've been rocking my pair and I've noticed since the rubber is white some paint got remove and revealing a red rubber on some of the threads. Did you have the same issue? If you see the heel on that red rubber part you could see that its all red inside and just got painted white.

[@jpalacesneakers]

I haven't seen that since I mainly use mine in the gym, I put them on when I get at the courts and them I take them off when I'm done playing. I wouldn't be surprised with this shoe what you described, since the shoe is constructed in a shell/mold type way. Some shoe makers build a lot of the shoe then paint the details or fuse material over them. Or build the shoe in layers, I wouldn't be worried as long as they perform good. What you described I seen in other shoes before too, keep me posted how they keep performing Broskis

@@jpalacesneakers i do too put them only when im on the court. Sadly im from the Philippines and playing on hardwood cost alot for rental. But on the courts I'm playing on is all rubberized and i just got a little fraying on some areas of the rubber. Thanks for the answer. Now i got a clue why there is an appearance of red rubber on the outsole.

I'm a size 9US would i get a size 42 EUR? My foot is a little wide. Would it be good since this shoe tend to fit long as other reviewers say.

[@jpalacesneakers]

I am a wide footer and I went with my usual sizing, a half size up which is an 8 (41). For wide footed players, I recommend to go with your regular US sizing. It will fit fitted but not overly tight, I checked the AG4 Soar sizing chart and that would be a 43 for you, for size 9US. You don't want to go too small being wide because it will be difficult to get into. If you are just a bit wide but not too much, then yes you could possibly wear a 42. If your US 9 are slightly loose then it could work at 42. Since you said in US sizing you're a 9 that's why I mentioned a 43. I recommend 43. Hope this helps 👍👍

@@jpalacesneakers thank you so much that help alot. I just ordered mine overseas today after reading this. Got the same colorway like yours though.

[@jpalacesneakers]

@akikogonzales3244 That's a nice colorway style, looks like Dragon Ball Z shoes lol which is 👌👌. They look good on court, the traction is top tier, wrap around the ankle, and really responsive low to the ground, what more could you want. 🔥🔥 Maybe some could want more cushion, so just can add an extra ortholite and you're solid.

[@akikogonzales3244]

​@@jpalacesneakers i got mine a few weeks ago and all i could say that the size is almost perfect to me i just got an inch of space around the toebox which is perfect for me. I love these shoes though and thanks for your advice going on a size 9 (43) even though its narrow it still fits me perfect. Love the colorway its fire 🔥

[@jpalacesneakers]

@akikogonzales3244 That is amazing to hear, 1 inch around the toe box is near perfect, it's what I like also! I'm really glad it worked out nicely Brother! I'm telling you DBZ vibes lol
