Jimmy Butler's New Shoe | Li Ning JB 2

[@manicmike3952]

Li Ning shoes are amazingly comfortable. I hope that can set up shop here in the states soon!. Thanks for the vid.

[@ZachariahFakhri]

I'm 23 playing high level basketball, have tried hundreds of hoop shoes. JB1 was in my top 3 all time. Also was my first Li-ning shoe, I loved the Boom drop-in, traction was insane and fit my foot perfectly. (Pushed me to buy the sonic 11 v2, again a top tier shoe) I was a little disheartened when I saw they removed the drop in, but boom is still probably my favourite set up, and I know Li-ning rarely miss with traction. Keen to give these a try, hopefully some more colours become available for Australian consumers 🔥

[@theordinaryash4431]

what would you say are your top 3?

[@ImAwEsOmEgOd]

Li Nings are very underrated! Got a pair of WOW 10 Lows and they did not disappoint! If only they were more accessible in North America though..

[@deejaay]

Tbh! I've spent more $$ on my Li-Ning brands vs Nike. I wear my Nikes for pre/post game wear and my Li-Ning performance is never underwhelming. Now! I just recently jumped on the Kobe train and got a pair of Kobe V PJ Tucker PE and VI Rev Grinch! The comfort and performance for these pair vs others is/was well worth the $$$.

JB1’s had foam outsole and it was beastly

[@bboystance1670]

Nice to see you back on the court brother, awesome vid! This colorway dropped down to 250$!

[@theguywholovesyou2525]

Check taobao website direct from china. 140$ for that colorway

A banana is an elongated, edible fruit - botanically a berry - produced by several kinds of large herbaceous flowering plants in the genus Musa. In some countries, bananas used for cooking may be called "plantains", distinguishing them from dessert bananas.

[@craigdrums]

Why am I allergic to them🍌?

[@vigilancenyoni3944]

Interesting

[@bryanskyful]

Not just for the algo, but for the love of watching your vids.❤

[@JV-rl3kl]

The cut to the squeaky shoes got me 🤣🤣🤣🤣.

[@goodfellaB]

Very clean shoe and a nice follow up to the first one

[@yeahmox]

Damn! I haven’t heard Volcom in a while! OG shiz! For the algorithm!

[@samuelsmith335]

Could you please make your next video on your Reebok blast I know you have a pair and I'm going to keep commenting this until you do. Keep up the good work love the videos I feel like I'm the only 16 year old that would rather have a pair of Reebok pumps or answer or questions then Jordans I wore Reebok pumps in basketball last season and got my first in game dunk in some tmac 3 this year

[@Yungkerch]

Couldn’t agree more with all your takes on the Avatar new series.

[@TiagoMadureiraVillanueva]

Hi, I think this is the first time that i can actually comment in a video. I'm hoping that everything goes right in your life, because you guys and the spanish weartesters have been helping me when choosing the shows that i hoop White. Really apretiate that

[@MatthewMcGuire-x6c]

Thank you both again for everything you do. I appreciate every time I get to hang out with you. THE MA HUNCHY ALGORITHM IS A HUNGRY MA HUNCHY.

[@jeffreybi4170]

Awesome review as always, thank you so much!

[@allensmith9879]

The JB1 is a foam traction & it works really well for me excited to try the 2s. Pretty sure they felt they needed to do this because they JAM packed both the 1s & 2s with all the tech they could fit in them.

[@davidfulkerson3555]

I'm going for these never done a li ning yet but these look tuff

[@zabadooz.9751]

Excited for these. Will wait to get them a little cheaper, but definitely buying a pair. Glad I have a tie breaker for the fit since Sole Drop and Foot Doctor Zach disagreed on sizing.

[@ashkarakal]

Was waiting for this one!

[@aradlevi13]

Thank you! Love your videos

[@benisnani4883]

The goat reviewer is baaaack!!!!!😤😤

[@fatherprime1397]

Always looking forward to a new shoe review, regardless of the shoe being reviewed

[@LAdams-sb1hf]

Fight the damn algorithm get that Money Chris and Jodey!

[@jamesyap387]

Great review as always!

[@gavinmarsh7725]

Wish I would have waited on the Bron 21’s and went with the JB2’s..great review!

[@Diezelz]

Awsome stuff

[@zacharypaddock2954]

Great video! Thanks for the content

[@Jajuls]

Nice review as always

[@nostalgianutph5100]

🔥🔥🔥 review as always.

[@BenjaminWilliams-n2g]

Another great review

[@uptodatenba]

they look so clean shame i dont have 390 AUD to spend on them

[@aliferguson5278]

Peace, Dope review as always. Stay up.

[@Killsquad2]

Thx for the review

[@user-co1bb4jp6r]

So cool how he signed the sole as Rylee (his daughter) and Michelle Lambert.

[@MarcJacobPacifico]

Awesome review!!!

[@dukestarfighter]

These honestly remind me of a Kobe 6 for some reason. Li Ning has been making great shoes from what I’ve seen and heard

[@egidiofgalano814]

Fighting the good fight!

[@Junior-er9mo]

Secret tunnels for the win!!

[@JohnWhitman-cb3jf]

My excitement was through the roof for ATLA live action. Bending is excellent on screen, I think aang's acting left much to be desired. But still excited for S2 and S3, hyped to see live action Agni Kai!

[@hummoses]

Haven't watched the live action Airbender...price tag for jb is to high + I play on a crazy dusty floor....I am holding out hope for either the wow 11 or li ning gamma....until then my dame certified is crushing it on dust and the wxy v3 on less dusty courts ...great job as always

[@jeffb111880]

Non slip shoes usually come in multi square or triangular shapes ,tightly together for the best disperse of moisture and Traction. I'm surprised the basketball shoe would go with the kitchen style non slip pattern. Good idea tho!

[@yoshimoto.daniel]

I had pizza for lunch today 🍕 Also, these types of tech breakdowns nurtured my love for sneakers. The first shoe I bought because of one of these reviews was the Nike Hyperdunk 2012 🔥

[@faelinthehouse4812]

W i went to hongkong to buy it and i do agree the tongue should get more cushion but everything else is really good

[@variandavid377]

The shoes looks dope. I like them…glad to hear the traction works because I was intrigued and confused when you showed it. I laughed so hard when you said that a care bear got merc’ed! 🤣 As for Avatar….i enjoyed the show overall. It definitely has a lot of things to tweak and adjustments to make, and I thought the over consolidation of stories to fit 8 episodes was too rushed, which ironically didn’t give Aang time for character development and growth. I feel they should add 2 more episodes to make 10…so there’s a bit more room to breathe. Zuko on the other hand….had all the character development! You’re not alone, hands down episode 6 was the best out of all of them. It was just written better. I loved the way the Kyoshi warriors looked….and dude playing Zuko really did a good job! What really stood out for me was how they handled Iroh and his son’s funeral…and having the instrumental of the song play in the background. It was just beautifully done. There was no way they could’ve recreated that specific scene and conveyed that same level of emotion that the original had. I just finished Avatar and now I’m on Korea again…..I go the full stretch because I love seeing the evolution of the world, environment and people. Plus I still notice things that i missed prior…like the evolution of colloquialism being used in that world….like FLAMEO evolving into everyday use in language, where it was Aang who technically introduced it initially.

[@shayp3kicks]

Algo love❤.. seems like a nice option! Difficult with these brands especially in my part of the world. I guess no one really can just go in store and try on.

[@jjpellergene466]

usually the standard type insoles in li ning premium badminton shoes, not only li ning but across other premium brands of badminton kicks.

[@Tunaafacee]

"You want me to do a mini review?" Me: YESSSSS.

[@myles.decoito]

Regarding Avatar, us too. Watched live action then jumped into animated season two. We are in great anticipation of who will play Toph.

[@jayeads]

These are pretty. They remind me of that lebron collab with John Elliott, with that soft pink.

[@MonicaChrisFC]

lolll 1:53. for the live action avatar, im not sure why, but i didnt fully enjoy it yet it had me interested enough to finish the season and want to watch more

[@kmiqlff]

Nice shoes, D'Lo just dropped 44 pts last night against the Bucks

[@tobytiberio8076]

nice review

[@UnretiredSkater]

My fav shoe was the drose 7 primeknit. Any other shoe that I can get that compares? That boost is just unbeatable.

[@Crane1983]

Great review always! One qns, are the outsoles durable for outdoor court?

[@ohbeastin5010]

Ayy first! Great video as always

[@shehistheman]

Let’s go!

[@lampk111]

Thank you for the review. it would be awesome If you could mention if the tox box of the shoes is big enough to let our tox spread considered there is a lot of shoes out there with narrow tox box which could lead to a bunion

[@FTKsince1999]

Care Bear got murked😳😂

[@solarcentipede1749]

I love me some care bear murking for the extra fluffy materials! Probably explains the high price. I would love trying these, but if I don‘t win the lottery I don‘t see myself paying more than WOW 10 money für basketball shoes anytime soon.

[@eloheemstar71]

I like. Reminds of the Nike React

[@L43qwerty78]

3:06 aside from the similar font, you gotta admit the rear midsole also looks like a derivative of a GT Cut

[@L43qwerty78]

And even the tongue and lacing system!

[@AddOnKicks]

I don't understand why they omitted padding on the tongue for the 2s. The JB1 has targeted pads and they do a great job of alleviating lace pressure, and when I saw the 2s the tongue was my biggest concern. 😕

[@yhyang8388]

I just bought a pair of leather version of JB2. 
 1. Traction is great, it’s called GCU out sole, but only in the front, the back part still normal rubber. 2. The carbon plate is in the middle of the boom, like the sandwich, feel good though, but nothing that special. 3. The shoe tongue is way too thin, I fell same thing the lace not that comfortable. Leather+ carbon plate it remind 2000’s Nike and adidas.

[@pgarcia23ksk11]

Really curious to try. The outsole and insole intrigue me.

[@jupiterchua]

Those reebok 3d Ultralight foams were good. Just doesnt grip and last long

[@gilandsebastian1042]

The Avatar live action series just felt rush as in the story telling and the progression. but its okay overall i enjoyed it and looking forward to the next season

[@dillonn3918]

For the algorithm but for the B-roll song because I need it

[@otr90]

Let's go my algorithm! 🎉

[@matthewcandela9448]

Hey man, love your videos and am so glad I discovered you this last month! As a big Heat and Jimmy Butler fan, where in the world do I get these?? Is my only options things like goat and StockX, or is there an actual store/website, cause I can never seem to find these anywhere

[@BobbyObado]

Shoe is amazing. Price point will be prohibitive for most. Good thing Li-ning has many good offerings at more palatable prices.

[@masterjohn5]

thank you

[@jadenalisandiego480]

for the algorithm!

[@cesarmonteiromd]

Are you going to cop the J8 Solefly that came out 2023? Mi casa es su casa. Dope pair

[@CowbellkingdomTV]

These look fire... Are they as bouncy as Way of Wade 10? Or are they as bouncy as Lebron 21?

[@allensmith9879]

Agree w/ Chris about tongue, its a shame because what hes talking about is exactly what they did on the 1s & it was a perfect tongue, zero lace pressure.

[@naldyt276]

For me Lining is the best Chinese brand for basketball shoes. They're the Nike of Chinese

[@levine1886]

Your two sentences seem to contradict each other 😂

[@LordBass10]

I haven't watched avatar since it first aired on nickelodeon so i can't answer this qotd. I could be wrong but i feel the pandemic helped some of this older cartoons and anime's become popular again from people browsing through netflix and hulu for something to watch.

[@GreekSneakCollector]

Aesthetically speaking i prefer the 1st JB!

[@peterookotai6965]

The sound is the air trapped in the triangles

[@sadboyogie]

Let’s go heat 🔥 #jimmybuckets

[@janicetomas9409]

I like the color of the shoes and how much is this shoes cost

[@acon6]

wish they weren’t budget breaking. i’d really love to wear these on court. for the algorithm 👍🏼

[@adn2601]

I kinda digged the Netflix Avatar( I know, unpopular opinion). I never watched the animated version, but I think the live is ok. Yeah hopefully they improve some of the writing on S2 and 3

[@Mjay95498]

I hear alot a good thing about lining basketball shoes, but they don't have shoes stores in florida cause I like going in the shoes places and trying them on feet, don't like making shoes order online. Wish they sold them in stores

[@IMac1812]

This is your algorithm boost 😤 You think these would be good for ankle sprains?

[@IkenagaAvrola]

Hi Chris just a heads up, JB2 retails for 1299 RMB ($180) and most of the colorways can be found around $135 on Taobao; even with proxy + shipping it shouldn't cost as near as the horrendous $289 price tag from their official US store. 😂

[@JohnWhitman-cb3jf]

Do you know how to get brands like Anta, and Li ning from China without paying these ridiculous price tag

[@WearTesters]

Thank you for the information. It’s strange to see the official store up charge like that for US customers.

[@IkenagaAvrola]

@@JohnWhitman-cb3jf You need to find a proxy shipping service/agent (I'm not naming them here, but its pretty easy to find). You buy the shoes and ship them to their warehouse and they will take pictures and verify the order, then you can select and pay for intl shipping from China to your country.

[@IkenagaAvrola]

@@WearTesters It is almost like they don't want to sell it here. Buying from third party reseller is even cheaper.

[@PoserExtreme]

Hoop shoes are now taking notes from running models. Also, for the algorithm.

[@hellaguapo]

$289 is a tough ask for a pair of shoes I’m going to wreck. Especially when there’s things like the GT Academy out there. They do look dope though and, for the marketplace competition, I hope they do well enough to get another version.

[@Steve-xt2ze]

I'm going to wait til those shoes drop in price. I'm very curious after seeing many reviews on the JB. I heard Li-Ning has added some stuff to the rubber for it to stick and has amazing traction indoor and out. No I have not seen Last Airbender on Netflix. I forgot about it but am no curious because of this video. I'm go binge it right now. We might have to have a seperate channel discussion for Airbender.

[@dstroud0]

Li ning needs to have stuff set up for specifically for us buyers. Would open up their market so much more. Don’t want to order on a random website and pay 300 dollars plus 50 to ship overseas. And make it more accommodating for people with bigger feet. A lot of their shoes stop at a size 12 and I’m a 13. The 2 pairs on li nings I’ve had are amazing. I need more for regular retail price not 500

[@uspatriotstigmacher134]

Great review. Nice shooting as well... but to be honest we need to see the B roll with some misses. We know you don't shoot 💯.

[@WearTesters]

He’s put plenty of misses in his reviews. We’d love to see your game clips though.

[@brauprx]

It seems some of Li-Ning's rubber it's like that. I got the budget-friendly Sonic VII a few years ago, the rubber was extra tacky and sounded just like that right out the box, but was a dust magnet. Still managed to have great traction outdoors and stopped sounded like that after wear.

[@Li0n0fJudah]

I love the "For the algorithm comments" 😂

[@stephanechaffre7451]

For the algorithm !!! Yep !

[@callumoneill9010]

How would you rate these against the WOW 808 III? What’s better and why?

[@nouieg667]

I think the Netflix adaptation was good enough. The feels were there especially during the part where Aang went back to the air temple and he saw Gyatso's skeletons..
