Master splinter from the comics was a straight GANGSTER.

1: A whole lot of Jordan 36 inspiration here. 2: "purple burst" sounds like a Hi-C juice box flavor from the 80's. 3: Master Splinter. 4: The green/orange colorway I saw is very Michelangelo.

[@c2breeze]

Got these this past week from his elite camp…shoutout D Mitch!! These easily some of my favorite adidas. The shoe felt broken in first wear and had ultimate grip

[@mylesngala]

The elite camp in LA?! How was it?

[@TheRealChanclaVanDamme]

Colorway reminds of a black light poster you would find at Spencer’s in the late 90s.

[@CoreyJ23]

I am definitely wanting these…. Just in a different color😂 too much color for me

[@lionelgrisbane-ud87]

Bruh why do so many shoes debut in a 🗑️ color way

Then certain retail companies right have simple color out right now

Master Splinter for sure is the better leader. You can't beat the father/teacher aspect he brings.

[@spencerkogut107]

Splinter is the ultimate father figure. He wins!

Stopped in for the shoe vid, but stayed for the question of the day. 👍

Adidas is killing it right now. I'm not really hyped about these but they fit within the lineup well. And master splinter by a mile

[@ralphpuno3966]

adidas new basketball line-up is looking great, always been a fan of adidas. splinter is way more relatable in a way, like being a father figure and a teacher.

Nah, you’re right. I subconsciously thought it was a Jordan until I saw your comment.

Been waiting for this video

A cop in the future for sure. Thanks for the vid.

[@amse9297]

Lightstrike Pro is widely used in their best running shoes. So it's quite different from regular lightstrike, as it's lighter and bouncier.

[@tatersalad417]

Excited to see those AE 1 lows!

[@njY2K]

AE1 is the best of the three for me!

[@family19810909]

@@njY2K why ?

[@omarmanobal7721]

@@family19810909 I agree with him and my reasoning is they’re really comfortable, dont need break in time they feel good right out the box, better lockdown support and also traction. I love the harden 8s as well but the AEs are better

[@starscream2]

Adidas taking their sweet time to drop the AE1 lows

[@adventurek2066]

AE1 probably the baskteball shoe of the year. Unique and cool design and quality good performance.

[@ffongang6804]

hey CHRIS! first of all im a huuuuge fan and have been for the last 6 years. youre definitely part of the reason why i now own over 70 bball sneakers ! currently living in 🇨🇲 Cameroon and im boys with recently drafted YVES MISSI (21st pick). anywho i really think the DON 6 looks really like the JORDAN 35 and 36. anywho no disrespect but i wouldnt go out of my way to get these ones here. have a good one, cheers! id be humbled to join your discord community; im sure id be the only one actually living in Africa. lol or not

[@mikemiddaugh7610]

I'm digging the shirt. Got 90's all-star vibes going down.

[@hellaguapo]

Give me Master Splinter all day. The coach of champions. I feel like Zordon is like Phil Jackson - hands off, lets them figure it out on their own, works in a system with interchangeable parts (Megazord/Triangle Offense). Master Splinter is more like Coach Pop - leads by example, builds players up from youth to final form (Robinson/Duncan/TP/Manu/Wemby), and when called upon, can still get it done himself, as evidenced by those Coach Pop playing pickup hoops photos.

[@Jrai0810]

Can’t wait for the performance review.

[@user-dz4kn5zf1g]

That color way is awesome

[@bigcuz1986]

I wear size 18 and your videos help me make a great educated guess of how they will be on my feet because I cannot try shoes on unfortunately but THANK YOU

[@absolutionism]

“ a whole spider man crew kinda thing”😂

[@xipus08]

Might cop these 👀

[@royaltykonceptz]

It's summer time, that colorway is 🔥

[@bacon7848]

I think most people are tired of Nike and Jordan’s. Adidas has been on fire lately and have good looking designs.

[@nickmann1628]

I'm so excited for these I just got the Issue 5s on a 50% off deal so i'll wait if they drop an awesome color way on the Issue 6s (hopefully they will release the light blue/teal color way i saw Mitchell wear).

[@jamaalherodsr564]

The Black and White 5's was called "The Stormtrooper"

[@greendro6410]

Looks great 👍

[@216kicks]

I hope we get a Spider-Man themed colorway in Mens. It would be dope to see an Iron Spider colorway to go with the Cavs Wine and Gold! Also I have to go Master Splinter pretty easily. The sit-downs he has with his sons, letting their thoughts and emotions be heard is wonderful. Also he teaches life lessons often. He wants what is best for his boys.

[@Bliu2th]

These are definitely interesting!

[@Cxlbion]

Power rangers was my childhood😭. Zordon didn’t choose the rangers the morphing grid did. Gordon just knew it was them and sent for them to be brought to the control centre. Just like Rita and zordon were rangers, they were chosen by the morphing grid.

[@Rangatology]

Design wise (not the colour - but I do like a gradient), this looks like an Adidas basketball shoe I’d purchase. My hunch is that Lightsrike Pro is gonna be the modern Adiprene+

[@SincerelyJ927]

You do have to give Zordon credit because he molded some shitty teenagers into super heroes, most people wouldn't have the patience😂

[@thegameneededme5]

Happy to see everyone with the correct answer of Master Splinter. A friend of mine when I was younger always used to argue this with me and I was ready to die on this hill for Splinter. Vindication 😊

[@samaantree]

Master splinter 💯% and for me. Sneaker wise my choice is the Hardens they’re just ultra slick man love the look of them😊

[@josephdlr]

Prolly the Best one in his line Not gonna lie The black one of those are Pretty Sick 🔥

[@Vxnom_boxedyou]

@WearTesters I have a question for you guys, I’ve been looking at the don issue 6 more recently because of RWE wearing them and that they just came out, but I’ve also been looking at the AE 1 because I think from what I’ve seen they perform pretty well and in my opinion they look kinda cool, so which one should I get?

[@marcdalmeida7970]

I think Master Splinter too. I just think because he’s had them since they were so young they really are his children and he’d do anything for them.

[@variandavid377]

I like the design of the shoes. Agreed that the colorway is a little loud but it showcases every component well visually. As for the the question of the day, I agree with the both of you. Certainly;y agree that splinter trained them for protection……and even got mad when the kids ventured off to the city on their own and almost got exposed, because he didnb’t want any harm to come to them.

[@tonythames]

Beautiful shoe.

[@hectorfigueroa2294]

Looks like a Lisa Frank binder

[@Drew.Whitcomb]

Master Splinter is easily the better mentor

[@Spiderman-dw3cq]

Review AE1 low please

[@user-ur8mi2bs1j]

QOTD: Splinter, because I know who that is. This seems like a cool design with a friendly price tag. Adidas has been making intriguing basketball sneakers lately, albeit with zero potential for casual wear. Aside from the colorway, these do seem like they have a little bit of off-court wearability. Thanks for the review! I appreciate the variety on the channel lately (i.e. not all Nikes). Happy Fourth to y'all, and here's a like and a comment.

[@Kwesoner]

bro, real quick,why do you think the head popper doesn’t just pop Homelander head? I’m very curious on your opinion.

[@ac-vp9mh]

Just placed an order. Color reminds me of Bini's Salamin Salamin 😅

[@truthnotfeelings]

If they play through dust, no heel slip, I’ll cop

[@jeremymuir4332]

dunno what you're on about the colourway smacks. It's gotta perform though, no good being that bright if they're hard and slippery. Do not like that rubbery tube running around the side though.

[@solarcentipede1749]

I’m curious how the DON6 looks in different color ways. Overall I really dig the look of the AE1 but I‘m not the greatest fan of the colors they used.

[@RamngaihzualaTootoo]

🔥

[@JV-rl3kl]

Glad adidas is putting up a strong fight in the basketball shoe market. And I know all about it cause of this channel. Thank you guys. Apparently there was a TMNT/Power Rangers crossover. Wonder what the PizzaZord looked looked like.

[@day8day]

if these didn’t look like the Jordan 36, i would probably cop

rwmember years ago, boost is too soft so you prefer bounce? well, boost feels like bounce if you compare it with a lightstrike pro runner

[@PSL09]

ls pro is so huge...the setup seems similar to the adios 6/7

[@NitrroO]

Then like this color like how different Last of al they are with that look trying to cop 🔥

@@WearTesters i see thanks

[@dreamcast64_cl36]

Like a lot the looks (except for the carbon like texture, like just make look like plastic and don't try to sell it for something that it isnt, it actually makes it looks even cheaper imo). QOTD M. Splinter all day fs.

now Dame needs a new great shoe

looks solid to me

Master Splinter over Zordon any day... But Master Roshie is the greatest to ever do it in my humble opinion 😏

Ngl this looks like what a Jordan 36 se could have been

[@michaeliandomingo3409]

Lightstrike Pro is great for Running shoes, not sure on basketball shoes so I am intriged :)

[@kanonra8149]

finally a good colorway. adidas only drives black white and grey.

[@jeremylovechild]

issue 5 looks better, but im glad they switched up the tongue/lace system. the 5's were way too hard to get your foot into

[@jmg387]

Definitely Master Splinter

[@JulioMarston]

i just hope they're available in my size unlike the other too, idk why adidas doesn't have much stock in my size is not like i am a big footer just 10.5/11

[@Robbiemx]

these are the Jordan 36 low with the DON logo

[@AddOnKicks]

Team Splinter all the way! If you can't feel the Lightstrike Pro already, then they did it wrong. That's a great foam in their running line and I've been anxious for the 3 Stripes to get it into their hoops shoes to where you could actually feel it. Adidas seems afraid of good cushion at this point 🤦‍♂️🤷‍♂️

Anyone see the Kobe 8 in the front midsole?
