[@ecolon217]

I think the Lebron NXxT is supposed to replace the signature Lebron low since the 20 is already low cut. Not really a budget line, but should be cheaper

[@ChrisAaronThompson]

man you were hating on the one take hard on the first impressions video, glad to see it performed pretty well

[@drphilsnephew8915]

Still is so ugly and not the best

[@gezza7718]

Don’t have as many kicks as you but 100% regarding Kyrie Flytraps - a shame, they look great but my feet always hurt after hooping in them. The LBJ 20s are probably the best balling shoes I’ve ever worn. My kid had the KD15s and they are also great but chunkier than I would like. Keen to get the PG6s and also a pair of old Kyrie 7s before they disappear - love the weatherman colour way in them.

[@joaomarcelobritto4178]

Great video, btw when is the performance review on the kyrie flytrap 6 and the one take 4 coming out?

[@Leonsaree]

Hey question, how do you feel about the Nike React Infinity Flyknit 2? and Air Max 90/5?

[@eviljapanese8881]

Hey Sammy, can you please make a review on the Nike air max impact4. A lot of people are waiting for your review on this budget shoes. Thank you.

[@jakobmokvistsoderlund]

What are the best shoes for impact protection? I really need to save my knees from some landings...

[@thomaspayton_]

These videos are your bread and butter. Best way to go thru all shoes

[@samsonfaaola4487]

should I get the kd trey 5 x ? will the material holdup

[@aaron_reynoso]

7:38 Dang, glad I’m not the only one pooping in the Luka 1’s

Sammy …..you planning on reviewing the 808 V2 and the ultra with that neoprene ankle strap?

[@mryek1694]

Great video Man

[@LiamM-zt8py]

yo sammy i just watched the zoom freak 4 vid on ur old channel and i really like them. i have wide but short feet do i get them or no?

[@georgeyourdad2798]

@The sole drop Where would you rank the new Tatum 1 basketball shoes??

[@genesss]

Ey,which one do you prefer? Precision 6 or Kyrie low 5?

[@DSingh-oh2gc]

Hi Sole DRop Is Kd Trey shoes are Non marking shoes ? does it effect on the Wooden court !

[@jonessquadx5545]

What shoes do you recommend for good ankle support and grip?

[@bnnos35786]

Tier Lists are always my favorite ;)

[@eybx9530]

Hey Sammy, I was wondering if you could do a video on the best hightop hoop shoes of 2023

[@jeffnguyen91]

Editing is crisp!!

[@teng029]

Since the Lebron 20 is already a low top, I'm guessing the NXXT is replacing what would normally be the Lebron low. The KD15 should be S Tier.

[@gerardremando4275]

What bball shoe would u recommend for a high arches foot?

[@kensheelabay2512]

Hey sammy, do the Li Ning Wade AC 11s. Would really appreciate it!

[@cealsafe3830]

kd 15's are pretty comfy, heel slippage will reduce if you just tighten the laces on the tongue more and tie your laces tight, not very tight. The traction is good on the shoe tho.

[@user-ke5ub2ho8f]

Nah fuck kd15s bruh shit hurts my feet bad

[@robertmelintescu7914]

Good vid

[@reggieempleo8768]

Thank you for the list!! now I finally decided to go with the cosmic unity 2. 😂😂😂😂. But I got the Sisterhood colorway. Haha.

[@Jonathan.Ancell]

Yeah I just bought some for the basketball season

[@jerwinreyes1670]

Do a performance review on the Nike zoom rize 2 pls

[@redoktober526]

The lebron nxxt seem to be the replacement for the soldier line. ✌🏼

[@crankcase8648]

So i am almost 13 I just started to play basketball I got the cosmic unitys for my first basketball shoes today and I love em

[@SLAPTALK]

My KD15's fit me just fine. I just want to know the over/under on HOW MANY TIMES SAMMY SAYS HEEL SLIPPAGE IN A KD15 DESCRIPTION!! 🤣💰🎫🤣

[@ReversingTheNight]

Facts, honestly the best traction ive played in too. Love the shoe.

[@hoops133]

They fit me fine too tbh, just tie them tight enough and they’re solid

[@NShomebase]

You didn't see tons of people complaining about that last year?

[@iBladeSwifx]

I have the PG 6 because you recommended it and they are S tier.

[@kahlilstuard2890]

I have the KD 15s and they are super comfortable but have some of the worst traction on the court for me so they became my outdoor hoop shoe. And slight heel slippage but that wasn't much of a problem

[@ImTheRonzy]

how long you’ve been using the kd15 on outdoor?

[@daneyyffy155]

theyre traction is great?

[@kahlilstuard2890]

@@ImTheRonzy been using them for about a 2 months but only played outdoors like 10 times cuz of weather

[@kahlilstuard2890]

@@daneyyffy155 I bought them for my high school season and used them for the first week of practice and it may be a dusty court but I was sliding everywhere. I ended up buying a pair of Kyrie 5 lows and they have much better traction

[@kahlilstuard2890]

@@ImTheRonzy they’re great outdoors tho

[@arthurevans2029]

You're confusing. You said J 37s have too much cushion. I tried them on and it felt like wood in the heal. You said Kyrie 5 low cushion wasn't good. I tried them on and thought it was much nicer than 37s. Freak 4 was awkward with the stiff toe raise. Seem to take away from good balance.

[@teddychan7290]

Pls include fly by mid 3 they my 1st fav and first shoe

[@matthewcallaway5223]

Sammy!!!! I was wondering which curry flow shoe you liked the best? The 8, 9 or 10? Please and thanks man! Appreciate the content as always

[@EnriquePiano]

10s

[@ksfpubstar2]

Rolled my ankle pretty bad with the immortality 2s. Bought the leberon 20s and the kyrie 8s (infinity) for my rotation.

[@HH_126]

bro i rolled my ankle in the immortality 2 too. the support is god awful in those

[@ksfpubstar2]

@@HH_126 all I did was go up for a contested layup landed with my back to the backboard. Going away from the net. Landed, did like a half step to the left and I rolled it bad. Haven't had an issue since I stopped using those.

[@randomguy7120]

Freak 4 and kd 15 were pretty good

[@Irgendwasmitkiwi]

You should make a "great casual style" tier list for shoes. Maybe include your favorite beaters that also style well. I like your sense of asthetics.

[@InderoFU]

These are shoes for basketball performance, not for styling

[@NShomebase]

That's going to be entirely subjective. People are terrified of wearing anything casually that isn't leather or trendy.

[@theklaw2283]

Luka 1s yessir so underrated by some people

[@lucaslim4435]

I just got the new lebron red colorway its fire🔥

[@jam.6837]

when i used the kd15 in a league of mine the shoe came off completely because of the heel slippage

[@kevincomia7364]

hey tell us about your opinion on qiaodan. thats the riff off jordan brand from china. and nike/jordan win’s the trial right. how come that it reached the NBA!?

[@eugeneryu1817]

Are the kd trey 5 x in there

[@osa3298]

Giannis immorally 2 are great for me and my foot felt really contained ( I’m 6’3 165 lbs) and it’s also that it’s the most comfortable shoe I ever played in for me way better then pg6 or lebron 20 so it’s really down to personal preference

[@yxd_ch1ps519]

was wondering wether i should get them or spend a bit more on some freak 4s ?

[@osa3298]

@@yxd_ch1ps519 freak 4s are very heavy towards the forefoot so you can’t even walk on the full foot because it is so narrow and unstable everywhere other then the forefoot bot it also depends if you are a guard/wing get the immortality 2s center- freaks

how about nike air zoom gt jump?

[@coolnskate]

Sammy - what tier is the AJ36 low?

[@dougiehobbs1519]

S tier

[@nabilidr9011]

witness 7 is great budget, been hooping with that for 3 months, idk why people call them unstable, i play drive to paint a lot and not being ball hogger helps witness 7 perhaps

[@dchmurciak]

Happy you I have rolled my ankle after 20 min and after some digging in youtube comments im far from alone. That half size air-max in midfoot is ankle killer especially if you are heavier player. So for me is NO NO NO it is unstable like hell.

[@nabilidr9011]

@@dchmurciak yea probably because im not shifty enough and doesnt do zig zag movement a lot, but jumping in this shoes is so comfy there is a time when i got slip on court because sweat on floor, but luckily theres no ankle rolled so far

how about jordan 36 low?

[@Barak_Malka]

What happened to the PG 6?

[@JDaWg527]

The witness 7 is a great workout shoe. But if it’s not good to hoop in then I get the rating.

[@alonsoverastegui3713]

2/10

Glad to know the $200 LeBron XX's are at least S tier for that kind of money they better be

[@leonardoschool821]

where is the kyrie 8

[@cal448]

For me the lebron 20s are stiff and the colorways so ugly. The immoratlity twos i love, the traction isnt the best but its definitely solid. The part where you said your foot doesnt feel contained, the more you wear it and breaki it in, the more contained feeling they becomes and the cushion also breaks in really nice. They get better but i liked em when i first put em on. I ordered the luka 1s, and when i tried them on they felt great. I would rank em S tier (also because i dont mind that the cushion is minimal)

[@EEBBZz]

You have to break the Lebron 20s in alot very comfortable shoe imo

[@harttakada5066]

@@EEBBZz Yup no joke, 3 times wearing it a game, barely can run, my shin bone is burning.
