adidas Harden Vol 8 Performance Review

[@MetallicaFreak098]

been watching for 12 years now sir. i’m 25 now and you’ve never let me down

[@Jamen25]

Same bro he’s really one of the pioneers in the sneaker YT space

[@desmondjr88ActBoldly]

💯

[@chrisfairfield5320]

This man has been a staple in my life as not only a basketball player but also a shoe collector big ups nightwing!

[@charleskattan8]

God I feel old reading this and I’m only 33

[@vincentraphaelduenas7286]

💯💯💯 man time flies sooo fast.

[@mrnb8932]

Seldom do I leave comments but since you asked I really have to. For me, you are the benchmark shoe reviewer on YT and I value your opinion the most when making a purchasing decision. I've been watching your channel for 6-7 years now and you (with some other KZbinrs) introduced me into Sneaker Culture so I will always appreciate you. Besides that, your music intro and background music is iconic at this point and makes me relax after a hard day of work when I open YT and watch your reviews.

[@breudeu]

4:30 Chris is speaking the truth!! the amount of hoopers that are out here glazing Nike because of "Brand loyalty" is ridiculous. All I see on social media comments are about how adidas is just "Stealing Yeezy's designs" or "I hope (athelete) switches to Nike". Like Nike hasn't been giving you less and less tech or originality over time. Ant twisted his ankle last night and people were so quick to be like "It's the shoes!" as if Wemby didn't roll his ankle earlier in the year, injuries happen. Bout to join the discord to vent at this point lol! Great video as usual!

[@phillipparedes6444]

👍🏽👍🏽

[@rabarberellum1017]

Yeah it's quite noticeable when you're from over seas and not feel any sort of internal ties to Nike. Lets put it this way: a glass with a swoosh on it, being filled for a quarter is considered full for many in the US, while a glass with an non-swoosh logo, filled 3/4 is looked at very critically and some even might even say it's got to many faults to be regarded as full.

[@Cashmoneez]

Nike is easily the worst big sneaker brand in terms of basketball. The signature lines have all been kinda mid except for Lebrons which is literally just a Kobe protro rehash. No innovation whatsoever and even regression. Nike shoes from 5 years ago are literally better

[@KhoaPham-i6t]

i can not defend nike at all but personally zoom just feels like the best cushioning for me which has me coming back but the quality has been gettijg worse and the designs aren't as cool imo. lots of just trying to recapture the kobe feel

[@KhoaPham-i6t]

that being said the kd 17 leaks look super dope

[@GH05TLYR4NG3R]

Adidas had the best Basketball Shoes from the DRose6 in 2015 all the way through 2019 with the Harden Vol. 3. From the original designs to the best performance, I hope they are returning to their performance dominance cause I loved that period

[@MikhailRamonJavier]

Glad to see you making reviews again, Chris!

[@christopherpostell8960]

Amen!

[@NumairRana]

The best in the business is backkkkk

[@FibaFanatic]

I'll support videos with the OG in it. Other videos? Nah

[@OmySneakers787]

For the algorithm!! Been watching your videos since middle school. 13 years! You’re one of the biggest reason Im a sneakerhead today! Keep it up!

[@polorl151]

Love the fact there is honest opinion on basketball sneakers instead of loving sneakers because of loyalty to a brand

[@justiscousins7542]

For the algorithm! I don’t even really hoop anymore but still watch your videos regularly. Love the info and entertainment you all bring on each video!

[@CJ.Bartley]

Was a Nike guy through and through for a long time, but started getting back into hooping after a few years hiatus. I tried Sabrina’s and Lebron 21’s and both hurt my feet and didn’t feel good to me. Got a pair of AE 1’s and totally understand why a lot of people are moving away from Nike. The performance for $120 is just insane, and the shoe feels amazing while having a fresh and unique look. I won’t be looking to be getting any Nike hoop shoes any time soon.

[@Winalways-tn3dc]

I got the LeBron 21 as well and they fit me amazingly, love the shoe. Super comfortable and surprisingly great court feel/light feet. Surprisingly tried to get a two way v3 in the same size and they were destroying my feet and sliced my ankles.

[@jasonreyna7615]

Haven't bought a new pair of Nike shoes in years, only the "retro" LeBrons they've been bringing out, all their new shoes IMO not as good as what adidas has been dropping, personally love the harden 7 over anything nike has released in years

[@renzed19]

Thanks for the review! Just got mine and done with the 1st break in. Harden vol 8 is legit! 🔥

[@bran.taylor25]

Love the intro music. Commentary is great and love the question of the day segment 👍🏾

[@WearTesters]

Glad you enjoy 😊

[@russellhowardjr.9894]

@@WearTesters What is your intro song Chris? It is very cool.

[@jackboyd9055]

@@russellhowardjr.9894 yeah me too I'm looking for that song since it had some chilling vibe and I like old music ❤️

[@cesarsoto5735]

I've been watching u for 8 years ur still the best, you're very informative I like how in ur old videos on the performance one u used to rank from 1-10 as far as cushion, traction, looks and weight of the shoe I say u go back to the basics hands down the best🙌

[@sydguitar99]

this year for adidas feels like 2015 again where they had the Crazy light boost, the crazy explosives, etc, bangers all around

[@arcadeabe1373]

Thanks for the upload!!!

[@Santii-eq8kj]

Thank you gng for all the info I'll buy em for sure

[@1HazD]

Thanks much for review!! Purchased a few Harden's trusting your opinion. Keep up the good work.

[@rcsv54]

I don’t get why this channel does not have like a billion followers, I’m not even a sneaker head and is very cool to check, you guys are relaxed as if not trying to hard, which is just what we need

[@splakacheus]

He is the Michael Jordan of Shoetube.

[@JeggyZ]

Gonna be tricky to decide between these and the AE 1's. So nice to see Chris back doing performance reviews!!!

[@drewdizm523]

These are cool to play in. Made me cop Adidas since 2007- from being Nike-only basketball shoes. Adidas made it right this time around.

[@jazzy1089]

I’ve always enjoyed your comprehensive reviews! I’ve been watching for years! Thank you for another great review!!

[@grandpa1]

Hardly ever comment but will for the algorithm. I’ve been watching Chris since his og days in the bedroom. Fantastic thorough reviews every time. Love Mrs. Wing being involved in the videos now. Chris just seems like such a good dude and genuine person. Also Adidas is killing rn, the ae1 and Harden 7 are iconic designs and seem to be great performers. Nike has been suckling at the teat of the Kobe line and that technology for way too long. Their designs are all so lukewarm regardless of performance.

[@lorenzodelreal4476]

One of the best channels on KZbin

[@n4th4n.g4b6]

Man is goated.. 🫡been watching since i was in middle school, now i got 2 kids Time flies

[@Archetyp3Zer0]

Comment for your algorithm, guys! 😆 Been watching since the OG small room days, awesome to see you still going after all the years Chris ✊

[@shayp3kicks]

Goats back to performance reviews.. For the Algo's baby🔥🔥🔥

[@SpideyHooper]

Seeing NW back out there doing a performance review… all is right in the universe again

[@ralphtree03]

that intro/background music is classic weartesters.. as soon as you hear it, you know whose channel it is!

[@tvuollo]

For the algorithm! I've been following for over 10 years now and once again, you might just have affected the choice of my next basketball shoes. Thanks Chris! Just a tip for the website: You should continue to add a text review for every shoe as well, that should help you on the Google and other search engine side of things as well.

[@jacobkang8165]

Long time watcher but don’t comment that often. But here to say that it’s good to see Chris back on the court!

[@paull3042]

I’ve been watching this channel since you started. And I want to say, No disrespect to your extended crew, but I love having you do the performance reviews! Stellar!

[@JeremyGiese]

Love that music and seeing nightwing on the court again

[@mattjohnson6974]

I have the AE1 these will be my next either in green or pink.

[@MArif2328]

For the algorithm!! Think the first video of yours I watched was like the Kobe 8 and still here years later still enjoying the content. Keep kicking ass man

[@sunnyfallq]

Words cannot express my appreciation for these videos. Always honest feedback.

[@dominicbrown6501]

Back with the performance reviews love to see it ‼️‼️

[@7.brooksie516]

I’ve never liked any Hardens, but these right here have completely changed my outlook. I can’t wait to get my hands on them. Thanks for the vid!

[@edgarmora2341]

I love that you’re back to doing performance reviews, missed it dearly

[@Hunter-ij8qj]

Don’t often leave comments but bro you have always been my go to channel when I’m in the market for a new basketball shoe. And for that I thank you!

[@russellgray1917]

Great to see you in action again! And, I would not to throw up or be thrown up upon! Dope video as always from Weartesters, and I am liking the question of the day segment!

[@bigpp5940]

been watching u for years man, great content always!

[@jackjackdom]

The goat of reviews. Hope you stay healthy and we get to enjoy these gems for a long time!

[@bchanzor1128]

Glad to see you back on court! Best honest performance reviews.

[@lemuelreyes1941]

These are certified fire, best hoop shoes of the year beside AE1

[@cesarsoto5735]

Thanks for your reviews been watching you since my late 20s when I could still dunk

[@thekushologist]

I just ordered these. I always appreciate your reviews. They really help me alot when it comes to making a decision on what shoes to get.

[@moi50014]

Great to see you back chrish

[@alf3052]

Gotchu bro, great video and your one of if not the best content creator on KZbin!

[@UnretiredSkater]

Just bought the harden 8 and the AE1 this morning. Gonna return whichever one isn’t as good. Thanks for the review

[@carlwendel]

Lmk how u go im also debating which one to grab

[@M3LO]

Lucky man! I tried to get the JH8 and they were sold out in my size but got lucky with the white AE1 on footlockers site.

[@9YouthfulAdvisor]

This is an excellent review. Very detailed. A channel is much appreciated.

[@Caius_BorDeauX]

Hey Chris, I'm just a 13 year fan commenting to boost you through the "Algorithm" love the content and unbiased commentary. Keep it up!

[@BobbyObado]

Glad to see Chris back on the court testing 🙌. Harden 8 still growing on me. Certain colourways like these, I kind of like.

[@chez18788]

One of the Best KZbin channels out there for sneakers!

[@DRock406]

Major nostalgia with that intro! I reeeeeaaalllyyy want to try these. Love the color blocking too.

[@MichaelDavis-yy1pc]

I love that you’re doing the performance test again

[@magmatizer]

Great seeing Chris on the court for a performance review!

[@jamestaitano252]

Chris on court for reviews! I'm here for it! Good to see.

[@tyallen7232]

Comment for the algorithm. Loved this channel for years. We appreciate you guys. I think the AE1 is wayyyyyyyyy cooler looking but I’m intrigued by the giant support ovals. Will be trying on soon.

[@abuzarbhatth5146]

So glad to see Chris healthy and on the courts again 🎉🎉🎉. Literally the reason why I bought a pair of Kobe 1 protros to ball in

[@ruyldev8556]

Since I haven't played real basketball for close to 20 years now. I rely on your reviews for retros so I know if want to buy a retro I'm getting quality products or at least my money's worth.

[@Ayan_Za]

i have been WAITING for a review on these shoes from yall

[@joemanbodygaurd]

Love seeing a local Sacramento channel, light the beam

[@Smalls316_1]

[@ADiazNY85]

I’ve been watching for years, you guys are my favorite 💪🏻

[@williamford3249]

Once again great content thanks Chris

[@olirussel1980]

Always checking NW for performance reviews, especially for hoops sneakers I'm interested. Great to see that he is back doing performance reviews. Inteigued by Harden 8's to be honest, not sure if I like how it looks but definitely something the catches my attention every time

[@TheDonPizzNYC]

Love these reviews. Please keep 'em coming!

[@ernestotorres1211]

Glad to see Chris doing reviews once again! I started watching weartesters/nightwing2303 back in 2012-2013 and I myself don’t play basketball but I’ve stuck around all these years for the great conversation between Chris and Jodi & the honesty Chris gives during all the reviews!

[@414Jalen]

Love y’all vids, keep it up!

[@miguelma.lorenzodeleon3750]

Solid to see you doing the performance reviews again Chris! 💯

[@tonythames]

Great review 🫡

[@framinami]

GOAT shoe channel glad u still doing reviews old man

[@hoopscollege]

LOVE that you are doing the review again!!! I get why, but still so excited!

[@therealakmal]

Good looking shoes definitely. Not too cluttered. Just clean looking. Reminds me of The Kobe, AJ34 and a few others. Anyway good to see you making performance reviews again dude. Keep it up!

[@Ironsharpensiron73]

I value your reviews above all others.

[@kirbyperez]

Let's go Chris! My go to channel when I want to review a shoe before buying it

[@wackdog213]

I appreciate the quality reviews, as always!

[@niphi2324]

The greatest comeback of the year - Chris making performance reviews again! :)

[@MasterObiWanKenobi-db5ti]

Love your reviews!

[@EliLoney]

Great review! I initially thought these looked odd, but I’ve grown to like them. I really like that Adidas is going “minimal” with the branding on their shoes recently with shoes like these, last year’s model, and the AE1s. Adidas is killing the game right now!

[@Michael_BensonAK53]

Was waiting on this review!

[@Officiallytou]

Awesome review !
