Bruh I’ve been waiting near 3 weeks for my pair to come in lol Their out for delivery now Your literally one of maybe 3 shoe reviewers I can tolerate, as a collegiate coach and former collegiate player I can’t take people serious that have no skill reviewing shoes unless it’s a comfort take and wear their shoes outside and say traction sucks when theres gum and doodoo stuck to the bottom haha keep doing your thing!

[@DGHoops]

Appreciate you!

[@wifi0015]

Brother, we need u to report back once u tried hooping in them

[@ironbearjku2233]

@@wifi0015 wore them today for hard training session with some of my players. For reference I am around 5’11 200lbs all muscle built like a D1 running back. I am incredibly shifty with very powerful legs but my money maker in college was my shooting ability anywhere on the floor. Current models always in my bag Li-Ning Yushuai 18 ultra (innov8 boomerang insoles) Wow 10 (innov8 boomerang insoles) Kobe 11, jb1, Kai 1 The gamma is literally the first shoe I’ve worn stock out the box, what I mean is I always replace the insoles with either footprint kingfoam insoles or remind Destin impact insoles until I found the innov8 boomerang insoles their made with etpu foam that gives 40% energy return their insane seriously. But for the gamma I used the stock boom insole and the shoe is PHENOMENAL like DG said I forgot I was wearing them until the traction almost put me on my face it bites hard, Yushuai 18 ultra and these I would say bite the same, as far as cushion goes their both incredible and the full length carbon plate really gives that diving board effect amazing for jump shooters and keeps leg fatigue low, the Yushuai with the boomerang insole though is just unreal I’ve never experienced anything like it, the bounce of the gamma in stock form for me is 9.5/10 but add the boomerang insole it’s a 11/10 same for the Yushuai and for the wow 10, lockdown is superb felt locked in and extremely confident in all directions of movement, heel never moved once never felt the material stretch, I will say the lockdown is a 9.5 whereas the Yushuai is a 10 because of how wide the Yushuai is and the lace loops hug the entire foot like a glove. I went true to size in all my shoes and I do wear ASO ankle braces on both feet and wear thick basketball socks, all fit phenomenal the wow 10s are snugger in the toe box than gamma and Yushuai in a negative way imo. As previously stated the traction is insane, I will mention I have slight fraying where the outsole wraps up on the inner side but bottom outsole is flawless, the Yushuai have zero wear on the outsole after around 20hrs of court time, and the bites are equal just dumb hard and the wow 10 comes second. Heel to toe transition is flawless feels almost like a running shoe, zero lace pressure there is foam exactly where you need it and not where you don’t. I have worn every Kobe model in my career as that was all I used to wear and Kobe’s cannot come close to any of these three shoes yes even the 6 protros, I literally sold off my entire Kobe collection once I tried the Yushuai 18 ultra and wow 10 now gamma. Shoes is super breathable as well as the material is similar to the Jordan 36/37 models lenoweave or whatever it’s called. I have Liren 4 and v2 on the way, I want to compare the liren 4 to wade 10 and v2 to gamma as cheaper alternatives in hopes of same performance, liren 4 can’t really compare to Yushuai 18 ultra as it has the carbon plate and midfoot plastic torsional plate gives a serious diving board effect that’s just amazing and the boom is thick and bouncy with stock insole add the boomerang insole and you have the craziest setup ever. I forgot to mention I put the gamma boom insole in the wow 10 lows I have and they made the shoe so much better for me, significant bounce and gave me some more slight room in the toe box, no longer a minor issue for me. Any questions just ask!

Where did you order this from? Can't find a Li-Ning website

[@sylixRL]

FINALLY DG THANK YOU 🙏🙏💖 KEEP DOING WHAT YOU DO DG AND CONTINUE TO INSPIRE AND INFLUENCE OTHERS

[@AJZHoops100]

First and thank you DG I might buy them they look amazing. 🔥 Edit I didn’t know they were 500$ 🥲

[@zedriklordbeightol6596]

I commented on one of your videos about this shoe. And now, here we are! I love watching your reviews. Keep up the grind, DG.

[@timo7641]

in the end shoes bleeding edge tech is pretty much running shoes, and then the tech watered down to specific shoe type like basketball, volley, and etc.

[@joshdeteralifestyle14]

Been waiting for this! Thanks DG for making this content! This Gamma is freaking insane! Top toptier and one of the best hoop shoes right now. Still thinking why do most people sleep on these. This might be as great as wow10 IMO. camt wait to have them.

[@Vigor11]

because of the price.

[@kanaltoke8418]

W review Per usual. Almost dont wanna know how good these are, cause i know i’ll be missing out😂

[@DGHoops]

It’s really fine bro. They are very expensive. Objectively they are good, that’s why my review is so positive

[@nawassapolpawinjiraseth8899]

Please review the Way Of Wade newest colorway “announcement” Was the translucent outsole still good because it’s the last wow 10 shoe before the 11.

[@12Messenger]

I still got 4 pairs of KD 14. If we're talking about a perfect shoe around that you don't even notice that you're wearing shoes...God they're perfect

[@DGHoops]

Yessir those are amazing.

[@Peter-tx3bx]

I felt differently about KD14 lately. It doesn’t have the top tier traction anymore? ( I would take cut 2 over kd14 traction-wise). Correct if I’m wrong

[@lionelgrisbane]

@@Peter-tx3bx bruh KD 14 traction is unreal

[@12Messenger]

@@Peter-tx3bx 😂

[@Andre72495]

The insoles are also Boom, similar with midsoles

[@JoshuaYeshuaCSULB]

Shoe cost like $40-$60 to produce and they want $500 retail, come on

[@swordless2648]

Nah its way less then that. Prolly like $10 which is really expensive for a bball shoe considering most nikes cost under a dollar

[@YOURAURAISYOURAURA]

so i wear a 11.5us but realized li ning doesn't do .5 sizes for whatever reason.. what do you suggest to get a 11 or 12?

[@LeNutDemolisher]

get the 12

[@LeNutDemolisher]

cus if u dont fit. stack soocks

[@martinsantos814]

Perfect shoe for d fox, halli and brunson

[@pb3]

Outrigger area reminds me of the gt cut 2

[@songtu7777]

It’s better than Kobe 6?

[@MMarco10x]

Yeah but theyre 500 bucks

[@dO31064]

Just waiting for the price drop 😹

[@sylixRL]

It’s not gonna drop at all😭😭 it’s just so good

[@DGHoops]

Downsides: Insane price and if you’re not a fast player they aren’t too optimized for you haha

[@DOOMile]

​@@sylixRL they already go for $300-$400 on some sights.

[@kennyle8317]

Would you try out the li Ning liren 4v2 ?

[@icg2412]

where can we buy? Asia Pacific Region

[@adrianorhodchristianc.5261]

Can you make a JA 1 v.s Book 1 comparison?

[@Toysmite]

I got a pair from taobao, paid resell but it’s with every penny, li-ning’s official store on taobao were sold out before release day. Can you Please let Li-Ning know to put this shoe for sale in the USA? Thank bro

[@NBAclips3]

Should I get reverse grinches or this shoe

[@bengalfan101]

These if you are going for performance

[@ironbearjku2233]

Yoo I forgot to ask, have you tried the Liren 4 v2? If so how do they compare to the gamma?

[@jakevincenttagaro6388]

Hi can you review the qiaodan finceng rise v2 the keldon johnson shoe.. thanks

[@Limbaughpok]

Gamma or wow 10

[@mcvshmk5404]

Wow 10 , not even close this shit cost 400-500$

[@dunkkid23]

It depends what you're looking for, one plays for traction/court feel (Gamma) and the other is a flagship/all-rounder (WoW 10).

[@DGHoops]

@@dunkkid23Great summary!

[@Picklerickle247]

how would these last outdoors?

[@Drew-vz8fo]

How do these compare to the Liren 4v2?

[@starscream2]

Do the gamma's have an outrigger?

[@maxalbrechtsen]

Where did you buy them?

[@AnAbsoluteLegend-wl5fp]

Wish they weren’t 500 dollars 😭😭😭

[@sylixRL]

Imagine the gammas with vktry insoles??😭

[@maxalbrechtsen]

Where to buy in Europe?

[@kicksonfeet2294]

Liren 4 v2 pls

[@samatadilkhan3001]

Is someone in NBA wearing them ?

[@zalphazk]

wow 10 or these?

[@easymoney2265]

they remind me of the dame 1

[@이름이두글자]

Gamma1 vs wow10 who win?

[@king-wb1gz]

That's what I was wondering I have 3 choices to go from 3 shoes and I don't know which one to buy because I need something which I could use in pretty much every sport indoors including bounce speed and traction, kobe 6 protro, li ning gamma1, or wow10 I don't know what to go for.

[@pinoyhiphop3977]

@@king-wb1gzI have all of them kb 6 all star colorway, wow10 white hot, and the gamma 1 obsidian all black. and its hard to choose cause they offer pretty much the same but if you want a safe choice go with the gamma 1. these 3 are my top 3 shoes all time

[@bnb6648]

Is it better than kobe 6 protro?

[@DGHoops]

It can compete but lots of shoes can too

[@bnb6648]

Thanks for answer

[@pinoyhiphop3977]

better! hella better! kobe 6 overrated

[@TheWacoKid44]

The price...

[@PeterWang-y3s]

top1！

[@kevinGvue]

This shoe looks so nice. Probably going to be a $180 shoe though.

[@schuylersavage276]

Should we break it to him?

[@kenmamayay]

its $500

[@Flowiththewin]

Bro said $180🤣💀

[@akainu6010]

it doesnt even look like its 500 bucks lol

[@DGHoops]

I don’t set the price points. If I did they’d be less than half of what they are.

[@soledoutreviews]

Definitely not worth that price tag Nike got auto laces and shit for that price . Better do something special for that ticket

[@pinoyhiphop3977]

but would that nike you talking bout got the lightest weight hoop shoe title tho? would that nike have the carbon fiber full length? would it have the best traction? people should really think what they’re typing before posting the comment for real 😅
