I watched 2 different youtubers review this Space Jam Low... one of them said "Oh I hardly even noticed they did that Jumpman Jam thing - someone pointed it out on my Instagram. No clue why" vs Chris who dives into a history of the release and how this was true to the original before jumping into a deep dive on the carbon fiber shank plate. Its like having your server at Outback tell you a wine to drink vs a sommelier pick and describe the perfect pairing. Chris is a true "Shoemelier"

[@vincebavaro7040]

Chris is a connois-shoeur

[@wildin8156]

You gotta know who to watch.

[@StillycoBra5150]

So true! You can kinda tell when a reviewer is just repeating something they heard vs someone who actually remembers things and double checks to make sure they remembered right.

[@thegameneededme5]

The 11s were everything to me when I was younger. Was born in the late 80s, so too young for the original Jordan models at the time and it’s the 11s that I have the most nostalgia for. So excited for these.

[@terryllramsey8128]

I was born in 85 that’s about the time the Jordan 1 came my parents kept me in Jordan’s I started from the 3’s and counting

[@rmcf3972]

I am from 1980. Been dreaming for J11s until now. I hope I can buy it finally.

[@scottpanciera552]

Top 4 is tough 😬. 1.Chuck Taylor. 2.Puma Clyde .3. AJ1 (because of the color blocking /changed shoes forever )4. Tie -Jordan 3/ XI

[@MrMikelew2929]

@@terryllramsey8128 I was 7 when they came out. I didn't know nothin bout J's, but when I went to school all the older kids had em on. I knew I was steppin right😂

[@corydancy264]

I said the same exact thing in a post on IG today. I’ll never forget when MJ debuted them and lost my damn mind. “Is that panleather?!?!?” 🤣🤣🤣

[@flipster7746]

Man I am 41 now and enjoy your knowledge about shoes and history behind them. Greetings from over Europe 🎉

[@b.o.1951]

I’m 43 and try not to miss an episode. We grew up in the golden era when this sneaker head shi started. Salute homie. The youngsters call us Unc now 😂

[@Turbokitten643]

I love how Chris really got into this question of the day.

[@traprixhtee9926]

I just Got mines today 💙

[@user-uu8eg6xd4u]

There's not another channel that gives us an unbiased, 100% honest opinion when it comes to sneaker reviews like Wear Testers. So glad I found this place. I really respect the fact that these reviews aren't motivated from the big corporate brands who don't give 2 f**ks about the customers or incentivized to promote a particular shoe or product bc of a sponsor. Just opinions & an honesty coming from someone who loves kickz just like the rest of the culture. Chris won't do you dirty if you ask him about a shoe. If it sucks he'll say so. If it's dope he'll have no issue saying so even if majority of people don't like it. No bandwagoning at wear Testers fasho! Keep it comin' y'all! I'll continue to watch every week

[@DanielMartinez-fu3pb]

In my lifetime: Air Force One, Jordan 11, Kobe 6, and Kyrie 3. That's basically how my playing shoes progressed. Keep grindin'!!!

[@phillipjolly635]

Got to say this is the best shoe review channel hands down, thank you 😊

[@WearTesters]

Thank you ☺️

[@jeffbandy7065]

I was looking for shoes for my son today, stumbled onto the fact that Nike was releasing these on May 18th and found this channel along the way. I've been trying to get a pair of 11's for nearly a decade, I refuse to buy them through secondary prices....principality Smokey! HA HA! Seriously, I am gonna try my a$$ off to get me a pair of these later this week!

[@allayahsimmons9019]

They have them on goat for cheap

[@nitrobiz]

I've been collecting J's since '89 and these Space Jam 11's are my fav, fav to wear and fav to hoop in.

[@Real-Ez]

As someone who has only been a sneaker head for a couple years, I appreciate you breaking down this stuff or talk about the history cause I don’t know ANYTHING, I grew up not being able to buy Jordan’s not even knowing they were based on a basketball player because I didn’t have tv, so thank you for educating me on stuff I missed out on growing up!

[@gorav1234567890]

that mount rushmore segment is so dope ....to see how u breaking each shoe down

[@RashaadOwens]

You’re the best Chris and Jodi. Best sneaker reviews by far. QOTD plus pure entertainment and fun!!! 🌟🔥👏🏾

[@remullafamily922]

Love how serious he got about the question. You are a true sneaker head, much respect too you!

[@rohanes]

Love it when Chris goes into overtime and bless us with a history lesson/commentary. Fantastic video 💯

[@b.o.1951]

Agreed. I’m def going to check out that book he suggested.

[@mrjeffdeezy]

Loved this QOTD and your answers, Chris! You're a national treasure of sneaker knowledge and history sir. Well done!

[@dzzel415]

These shoes are soooo clean.. 11s were my favorite as a kid all the cool kids had them space jams are gems even if they low they are gorgeous

[@Davecolourway]

That question was so good!!!!! That’s a discussion that could last for days! As always fantastic review with fantastic contents 😌🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@psquaredddd]

You’re the GOAT 🐐 absolutely love when you go into the history and detail! Best sneaker channel there is 🙏🏻🙏🏻

[@1PiscesGal]

Been waiting for these to drop!!! I neeeeds these! 🔥

[@philthyphilsf]

Realist shoe channel. You know your stuff especially the history. Thank you.

[@SuperK1320]

Can’t wait to pick these up. Thanks for the review.

[@Leophon999]

Man, good video. This is why im a daily viewer. Why i started wearing what I like and opening up my threshold for what I like. Why I ultimately can enjoy sneakers. Im informed, I have a place to discuss a hobby of mine that doesn't die when the hype or the resale market dies. You know how many people I can talk with about this now that the market is down and hype is down? 1 vs. the 7 or 8 in 2020. But I can always count on yall to bring a qualty light hearted, fun convo to the mix.❤

[@marcusgreenwood9804]

That's why ur the goat ur knowledge of sneakers is unmatched period.

[@KurtDangle_]

These go hard 🔥 picked em up today

[@sneaksgeeks9008]

I had the OG 2000 pair (Easy double up at the time as I worked for Finish Line) I sold both my pairs some years later when the sneaker game was dormant. Always regretted selling. Every pair released since has failed to live up to those originals. Happy to see the royal and Jumpman Jam back on these, even though they’re lows. I’ll prob cop but still waiting for those OG mids to drop again one day.

[@joeypetty4723]

Stoked on these!! Thanks for the review Chris!!

[@DGMrpoetry]

Thai might have been the most intense and accurate sneaker Mount Rushmore all while being entertaining video I’ve seen in a while lol, well done you guys.

[@user-rw9xn6cf5z]

Thanks for the video! My basketball personals 1. Nike zoom flight 5s (jason kidd) 2. Aj 11 3. Air max more uptempos (pippen) 4. Penny 1s

[@marcusmcgraw3519]

I don’t think I’ll ever get tired of this colorway on this model, no matter what size it comes in

[@StumptownRetro]

My Mt Rushmore for Sneakers: 1: Converse Chuck Taylor, self explanatory 2: Adidas Samba, still to this day decades later one of the best indoor and all purpose shoes for soccer. 3: Jordan 3, the shoe that saved Nike and made Jordan brand. The tumbled leather. Visible air units. Pull tab. 4: Vans Old Skool, the classic is a classic for what it did for skateboarding becoming the poster child for the brand and standing tall all these decades later

[@cantbefaded83]

1. jordan 1 2. jordan 11 3. reebok classic 4. cortez

[@aaronbazner6638]

You nailed it other youtubers have no understanding of the history of this sneaker. They are comparing it to the recent space jam which is just a gimmick by nike for the movie and not the OG from 2000

[@Andrew77MUFC]

Great question of the day , really got me thinking about the possibilities. Too tough for me to narrow down to a sneaker Mt. Rushmore. Slightly different but what i could name is a sneaker golden era , which to me is 1995-1997. Jordan 11s , 12s and 13s - 11s and 12s my all time favorite Jordan models and all game changing releases. Some iconic Air Max models released during that time as well and the Foamposite's OG release. To me those were all ground breaking releases and some of the best ever imo. Also even Reebok's Question and the first Griffey's both released in that time period as well. Those were the days.

[@snkrsandbeats]

Great video as always. The 4 that i'd put on my mountain 1. Air Max 1, Air Tech Challenge II, Air Jordan 3, Air Jordan 3. I've gone with iconic/meaningful to me

[@jonathanstuart3704]

Gotta love watching this channel 😂 exciting, funny and knowledgeable

[@CYSA2122]

My Top 4: Jordan 3 - Elephant print 13:35 and Jumpman Logo, Jordan 5 - 3M tongue and clear bottoms 🤯, SC Trainer 2 - Bo Knows to the next level and Jordan 11 - tech at the highest level. My Top 4 were chosen from seeing them originally drop in the 80s and 90s.

[@jaygray825]

I agree with everyone else. You and @Talks with TJ are the only sneaker reviews that I respect. Tj wears kids sizes so it doesn’t always translate but the reviews are always honest. I’m always gonna check in before I pull the trigger on new shoes because I never purchase in person and I don’t like surprises. You are greatly appreciated bro

[@ronlim4654]

My mt. Rushmore Chucks - started it all Jordan 1 - starred the best performance line Jordan 11 - too much advancement for its time (the shoe is almost 30 years old and is still playable in 2024) Kobe 4 - started the low top craze and people realizing ankle support for high tops are not needed if the shoe is stable

[@kilama420]

THEY TAPE THEIR ANKLES CRAZY IS THE MAIN REASON

[@ronlim4654]

@@kilama420 nah. Ive been hooping in lows for a long time and haven’t had an ankle injury. If you watch older videos of chris talking about fit/lockdown making the most out of the support tgen you know what I mean

[@ddlangleyOG]

My personal Mount Rushmore -Chuck Taylor -DJs all leather -Adidas Superstar -Air Force 1s You have to start with the genesis Chuck Taylor. The Converse DJs introduced the leather basketball shoe. "Superstar"(Molly Shannon reference) the herringbone the most important grip pattern in the game. Air Force 1 (my favorite) gave us Air. Everything we see today is a derivative of these.

[@qchang09]

Agree with these. I was thinking DJs also but they tend to get left out of the conversation. AJ1s have been so pervasive in terms of enduring success, but the Mount Rushmore are the Js' forefathers

[@keithstone6411]

AJ 3 AJ 1 AJ 4 AJ 5 AJ 6 AF1 is an honorable mention.

[@TravisButler-xv1jw]

Wearteasters keep doing your thing with the sneaker vlogs keep them coming 💯💯💯👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿

[@user-xdnowdf]

For the algorithm! Been here since the days of the hyperfuse and the hyperize (remember that abomination?). I don't play basketball at all anymore so I didn't follow the channel but coming back now I realised that I liked the performance reviews just as much as matching Chris talking about anything basketball related. Keep it up!

[@michaelhenares2674]

awesome video! nice deets about the spacejams actually being space jams, super detailed tech specs and history and probably the goat of your question of the day portion. heheh

I love that the question of the day was half the video

Always a great review! Thanks as always.

These are def 🔥. Great summer shoe 💪🏾

I really like these because of the low patent leather cut, it’s an absolute must for me 🔥

The 11 is my all time favorite. And these specifically drop on my birthday ❤

Absolutely love you guys 💯

These Jordan 11 low “Space Jams” look really nice! I love the 11 highs, but I really love the lows especially in the summer time! Hopefully I’ll be able to get my retail pair when they release! Nice review btw!! 👍🏻

Best reviews hands down

Definitely copping!!

Love the discussion at the end 😂 great review too. The shoes are niiice.

[@macfanguy]

Not sure about them. Thanks for the vid!

[@day8day]

i always thought these were an OG colorway. Learn something from Chris all the time 😉

[@Jhayzer021]

My Mount Rushmore that I owned in my lifetime are: 4. Chuck Taylor Converse - Its iconic and my daily driver from HS thru College back then. 3. AND1 Kevin Garnett - I am a fan of Garnett when he is playing and seeing his shoes and owning it is mindblowing. 2. Reebok Iverson 3 - Its the most common shoes in my HS school and at P.E. my classmates rock those including me. 1. Air Jordan 1 - No contest! its everybody's dream shoes who idolized MJ, as a kid I always wanted one but can't and now owning one of those badboys as a full grown adult is breathtaking. As soon as I open the box and put it on my feet I'm speechless.

[@uspatriotstigmacher134]

Great review. Looks like these may be worth copping. Did not know AF1s were the first with full length air. And agreed 💯, can't leave off the Chucks.

My Sneaker Mt Rushmore: 1. Converse Chuck Taylors. The OG. Still great today as a casual and is a huge part of fashion and skate culture in addition to its basketball legacy. 2. Nike Jordan 1. Revolutionized athlete endorsements and ushered in a new era of sneaker culture, the game, fashion, and pop culture in general. People were literally killing each other over these shoes. 3. Nike Jordan 11. Huge cultural significance ('96 Bulls 72-10, Space Jam, Jordan's favorite shoe) and tech (full zoom air, patent leather looks incredible but also provides great containment and support, full carbon shank/spring plate was huge new advancement - shoes are still playable 30 years later). Best silhouette to dress up or down casually, can go with anything, and still kills it on the court. 4. Nike Air Force Max "Fab Five" (Black/Cool Grey) - love 'em or hate 'em, the Fab Five signaled a new era of college basketball where players could make an instant splash as a group of freshmen, take over the game, and leave early for the pros. They also transformed basketball culture with long baggy shorts, black socks, trash talking, and just general swag. These were their signature shoes, even though they were technically Charles Barkley's model. Sorry Sir Charles, but the college kids changed the game and put these on the map and that's why they occupy the final spot in my Mt. Rushmore.

[@KCSPS573]

Thx to you both for everything you do!! Quick question, do you have an insole you recommend?? I appreciate you noting each time they go with the quality option vs not. Thx in advance!

[@MaffmanJones]

Planning on grabbing these for my wedding reception, they look beautiful!

[@jpgonzales3629]

Awesome video I need these! Off topic but where did you get your shirt? Really dope man.

[@Jerzy__Kingz124cs]

Real Clean Pair

[@thomascalderon598]

Jordan 12 gotta be on the list. The introduction to zoom air in jordan brand, carbon shank, EVA, and leather. Not just that but around the 1996-97 were other players wanting to get a piece of them, so much so you see Scottie wearing em, GP, College Players, etc.

[@ShawnKirch]

EVA, Leather, & Carbon shank were introduced in other Jordans. The 11 introduced the ballistic mesh, patent leather, and the carbon shank. It's probably the most new tech in a single Jordan

[@Andrew77MUFC]

I do really like these XI lows, I have a solid selection of XI lows for the summer ; though might risk circling back on these, with my eye on other pickups this month. I really want another Space Jam XI High to retro again tbh. I have only one wearable pair of those left at the moment and they are worn to death. And considering next year i believe will be 9 years since their last retro and there are some patterns of the Highs coming soon after the lows with XIs. Ideally at some point in the next few years we should get another Space Jam XI High release. And honestly those are one of my all time favorite Jordans (on one of my favorite models).
