Way of Wade 11 reviewed by a professional basketball player

[@zhengjohnny123]

Love the new video format!

[@ls_hoops]

Thank you!! Will try to make it even better in future videos 🙌

[@jackhembree]

From what I’ve seen the gcu actually is viable outdoors and is shockingly durable for how thin the grooves are

[@sarojdwivedi8643]

Loved your work❤❤❤

[@Sin_sxr]

Love your honest review brother ❤ l've been following you for a while on IG. Support your work from Thailand 🇹🇭

[@ls_hoops]

Thanks man! Thailand is a beautiful country ❤️

Curry flow shoes definitely have amazing traction, but aren't they equally susceptible to dust pickup? My experience with the Curry Flow 8 was that dust turned them into a slip and slide. Maybe the WOW 11 has the edge on traction then if it can stop like Currys but doesn't get as affected by dust.

[@ls_hoops]

Oh yes definitely. It’s interesting how those top tier set ups like GCU and Flow struggle with dusty courts and dust pick ups. But from my experience it’s not as bad on dusty courts with the WOW 11 as it is with the Curry 11 for example

[@v0atmygym734]

People really die by the Kobe 6. They’re great but there are actually A LOOOOT of better shoes performance wise

[@ls_hoops]

That might me true for you personally but for me they were perfect and I really like playing in them. I do agree that there are other shoes that come close to the performance but I wouldn’t say that there are a lot of shoes that are better

[@didao924]

nah they’re the GOAT performer, it may be biased after his passing and nostalgia but they really that good

[@thefishey502]

I don't think ultra-competitive basketball players would use the kobe 6 if it wasn't a top performer. There's a reason it's the most popular shoe in the NBA.

[@bendutton]

Kobe 6 is the worst shoes i've ever had. I have 52 in my collection and hoop 2x per week. makes my foot in eversion position. Cushion is dead , not as low to the ground. It is average at best on all performance aspects. I always end up having some sort of foot , knee or hamstring pain after playing in them.

[@ls_hoops]

Facts

[@MuchaMaksim]

Damn 270 euro is crazy….also nice review, heard the leather upper could feel a bit clunky on feet, glad you had the updated one for this review.

[@ls_hoops]

Right? 💰 Yeah I’m also happy I got this colorway

[@paulblartfart1283]

315$ in CAD😭

[@zuum53]

180€ in italy xD

[@brentwilliams3833]

I'd love to see or hear your thoughts on these vs the JB2, considering the similar tech in both.

[@ls_hoops]

I’ll try to make a comparison review!

[@crolath]

Do you like those more or the wow 10s

[@quang4880]

Hey Lukas, do you think the wow 11 will fit my wider Forefoot? I half sized up in wow 10 it the fit ist nearly perfect. And which shoes has better shock absorption wow 10 or 11?

[@ls_hoops]

Yes I definitely think so as the mid foot is more concerning for wide footers. The front felt good for me. And I think the 11 has slightly better impact protection

[@JayMagic71]

What size whould u recommend for wide footers like urself like half a size up?

[@ls_hoops]

Yes. If you have extremely wide feet I’d even go a full size up

[@NewKingsofTheRing]

Ac 12 vs wow 10? Hows the fit, which has better impact protection.

[@ls_hoops]

Wow 11 has better impact protection but I like the fit of the AC12 more as it’s not as narrow

[@chadmcgee3041]

BEST shoes for wide feet?

[@grahamdevey7309]

What insoles would you recommend for these shoes?

[@ls_hoops]

Tbh I would stay with the ones that are in them already. They have very comfy cushion and the carbon core system provides great torsional support. For me it would be too much if I add anything more

[@renzed19]

Do you thinking adding a move game day insole is too much?

[@DMPREC0RDS]

@@renzed19 yes. I use the move in literally all my hooping shoes that don't have drop in midsoles but i decided to keep the regular insole on these. I've had really bad traction issues on dusty courts with these though so beware of that if you play on dusty courts. On clean courts the bite is nice.

[@zense7721]

maybe it's a quality control issue? some people also experienced the something with the wow 10 where the carbon fiber busted through their ourtsole.

[@ls_hoops]

I also thought about that. Never happened on the 10s to me. Always had top tier durability so far so maybe it really is a qc issue

[@MasterObiWanKenobi-db5ti]

Quality Control issue foe a 270€ pair of shoes...

[@hawaiian-cerveza]

Do you like it more then the 10?

[@ls_hoops]

Currently I like the 10 more

[@hawaiian-cerveza]

@@ls_hoops awesome. I finally got new shoes after using kobe 9 elites and grabbed a wow10. I love them. Im wide footed and flat footed and these are my favorite shoes I've ever used.

[@renzed19]

@@ls_hoopssame! I feel like 10 is more better but im still breaking in my 11

[@oOblistexOo]

Nice Review!! I just dont like the look of the WoW 11 🤷‍♂️ Off-Topic: Ich würde es total feiern, wenn du ein paar Vlogs aus deinem Leben als Pro mit uns teilst. Trey Drechsel ( oder so 🫠) zeigt immer wieder Einblicke aus dem Pro-Leben in Portugal. Vielleicht ist dir das auch zu persönlich. Könnte ich verstehen. Gesagt haben wollte ich es trotzdem mal 😅

[@ls_hoops]

Fair enough! Ich hab tatsächlich schon vermehrt drüber nachgedacht weil einige Leute danach gefragt haben. Werd es diese Saison einfach mal ausprobieren und schauen wie es ankommt 🙌

[@lisandralika658]

Wich is the bounciest shoe you ever tested

[@ls_hoops]

Wow 10, GT Cut 3 and Jordan 36

[@hwatsong]

I found these shoes awful. Gave me blisters in my little toe and made my feet cramp loads. I played in them for short periods to break them in but never got there. I know loads of people like them but these are the worst shoes I’ve ever bought. Back to Lebron 21 or KD14.

[@bigmanballsassnuts3337]

lebrons 21s tell me enough lmao

[@renzed19]

Same issue with me. Im having a problem with my little toe area with this shoes. Maybe needs more play time to break them in

[@hwatsong]

@@renzed19yeah maybe but it’s too long then, I have never had a pair of shoes that took anywhere close to this amount of time. I might still persevere.

[@Jim-j7s6s]

​@@hwatsongWhat type of foot you are, he may not suit you, I wear very comfortable, have good protection, but you have to know a truth, wow 10 is a blast, so wow 11 and wow 12 won't make much progress, so don't stick with the wrong shoes. Find a pair of shoes that fit you, not your shoes

[@zuum53]

me in italy paying 180€ hahahhaa

[@ls_hoops]

Haha nice where did you buy them?

[@chuckturdburger4612]

$307CAD 😭😭😭

No music?

[@ls_hoops]

I kinda like it more without. If more people ask for it I’ll add it tho :)

Noted!

[@MasterObiWanKenobi-db5ti]

Way too expensive...I don't see the point for normal ballers why to buy them. I can also see that the quality is trash...

[@ls_hoops]

Definitely get your point. Sucks that the price is so high

[@RobertBoobman]

Yea, it’s like $240 with shipping, and not even durable? What a joke.
