Adidas AE 1 Performance Review - Is This 2024s Best Hoop Shoe!?

[@darkhorsekicks]

I’ve hooped in this shoe for the past two days and I concur with your assessment. No need to break in, and the cushion is plush, buttery and feels like an upgrade from the Harden Vol 7. I agree it’s bottom heavy when just moving around slowly or warming up, but I felt once you start putting some force into that shank plate is where people will be surprised at how bouncy and fast the shoe starts to feel. When I’m really moving around I forget this is a heavier shoe. The courts are dusty at the gym I hoop at and I never lost traction. This shoe would be 10/10 for me if it wasn’t for the weight.

[@snkrtechtalk6005]

Agreed. If it was a couple ounces lighter it would be shoe of the year easy. Agreed once you start playing fast and hard you kinda forget about it. Solid ass performer 100% and it will easily make my top 5 Next year. I hadn’t finished testing it when I made my top 10 2023 video.

[@rightybricks1582]

I mean it's not like you're wearing bricks on your feet. Chil out with the "weight" bruh. 😂😂

[@GREATWALLOFEDITS]

What’s better harden 7 or this

[@raghavsharma6445]

Price plzz??

[@basketballshoereviewsbychl952]

Thanks for these great reviews! It's great to see that you actually are a good basketball player! My fav shoe is the Jordan 36 because of the max cushioning in the forefoot and the eclipse plate that provides massive energy return. Are you aware of any other shoes that are comparable? Only issues with the J's are width and a little forefoot instability. Wade 10’s don’t provide the same springboard effect as the J’s. Thanks!

[@Daveyjdigital]

These gonna retro like air Jordans one day

[@ThatReconDad]

I agree

[@TempuraHot7]

What is this background song?? Im so hype with this

[@kristenmoon4405]

Awesome shoe, I have the slime green colorway. Does great!

[@shortroundChris]

Been playing in these. I think i shoulda went half size down, but i put socks into consideration. The traction on these are soooo sticky and grippy. For me, It felt like id get stuck to the floor trying to switch up my feet on defense. Cushion feels good. Ankle support is alright

[@snkrtechtalk6005]

🎯🎯

[@247JesusFreek]

I think full length BOOM is the best Cushion set up right now. The way of wade 10's and the all city 11v2 full length BOOM is super nice. The heel logo thing is also not carbon fiber. It's just plastic but it does look like carbon fiber. Overall tho i do like the shoe a lot. Probably my favorite adidas bball shoe in a long while and if it wasn't so heavy, it'd be even better.

[@snkrtechtalk6005]

Ya I mentioned it isn’t carbon.

[@disturbedwaves9505]

Could u compare the weight of the shoe to a prior lebron ?

[@trailcash2241]

Did anyone have issues with the laces coming untied? It was happening to me over and over again

[@snkrtechtalk6005]

I double knotted mine

[@FortniteGuy2434]

What laces do you think i could run with these

[@allanvillaruz598]

Sir my Nike basketball shoes is 10.5 us size so if AE1 i will take down size 10 us size?

[@adamcummings9799]

Great review Steve. I went tts with my pair and I’m finding they are pretty sloppy. I wish I went a half size down. I feel these are great value for $160 CAD and they look so sick.

[@cristianrivera6913]

I feel you man, I got my true size and the room in the toe box wasn’t a lot but it drove me insane lol,luckily I ordered a half size down so it should be a better fit

[@BiggRoscoe]

Glad i went half size down. I have a narrow foot and im usually swimming in Adidas bball shoes when i go tts.

[@blondetravonne]

@@cristianrivera6913how is the half size down working compared to the tts ?

[@Jancc23]

Nice review! Does the lace dig into your foot near the toe area? I went TTS on this one, but I can feel the lace digging into my foot which is unbearable. I've to skip the first few lace eyelets to avoid the problem. I wonder if this is a common problem with this shoe.

[@snkrtechtalk6005]

I had that in my first wear on my right shoe. Loosened the bottom two eyelets up as they were super tight and then snugged up the top and it went away.

[@andrewsimon713]

I’m size 8.5 harden vol 6 and tts 9 harden 7. Would I better going 8.5? I wear the thin adidas socks. Would these be able to hold up outdoors?😊

[@jjoshuaoliva]

are these bouncy like wow 10 & gt cut 1s?

[@Pg-rj3od]

My son wants these shoes he is a men’s 10.5 in Nikes any suggestions on sizing ?

[@davidmelendez13]

Great shoe I can't wait to get a pair but dude in the back had a crazy ass jump shot lol

[@lukatlj]

where would this be in your top 10 list

[@snkrtechtalk6005]

Top 5. Wasn’t done testing when I recorded that. Maybe top 3. Minus the weight inrealllllly love these

[@Frank72728]

I wanted to wait for the blue and black colorway but I want to start playing in them asap so I’ll probably end up pulling the trigger on this colorway fairly soon. Not a bad color regardless

[@snkrtechtalk6005]

Agreed. I actually love this colour

[@SouthJerseyBaitReviews]

Gonna have to get them for resale then. Cause they're sold out every where right now.

[@RONderluck]

Heavy on foot? Both of my pairs are super light.

[@snkrtechtalk6005]

@@RONderluck for my 10.5 they are almost 20oz vs my usually size being around 14 oz. That’s heavy period.

[@nlmbgio]

[@snkrtechtalk6005]

I went 11 in the garden. 10.5 in these

[@deoncharleyrodriguez8981]

Can i use this in a rubberized court? And also is the velocity blue pair is the rubber solid or translucent?

[@snkrtechtalk6005]

Absolutely!!!
