Pro player's best BASKETBALL SHOES for YOUR POSITION!

[@NISHAAN30]

Paul George 6’s are crazy good for sg/sf. They are really good for playing defense and you can do any move in them. Also very comfortable.

[@ls_hoops]

Agreed! A very good shoe, I just didn’t put them in the video as I wanted to focus on more recent releases

[@Fanvb]

so helpful! thanks for the great video🔥

[@shamarbeckham2643]

Just got my WoW 11 and LOVE them. It’s the first flagship pair of wades I’ve purchased but before that I was/am in love with the 808 series. I think I may go back and snag a pair of WoW 10 now

[@clifcalloway8137]

I love my WOW 10 and am very curious about WOW 11. Wish we could try them on without paying $240 😂

[@ls_hoops]

I feel that haha

[@ls_hoops]

Can also highly recommend the 10s! They are similar but have more bouncy imo

[@NateBrockmeyer]

I got the 11s and they kill the inside of my ankles. Both sides bleed every time i wear them. The top eyelit digs in my ankle. Loved the 10s. Can’t wear the 11s

[@shamarbeckham2643]

@@NateBrockmeyer that’s unfortunate! Do you wear ankle padded socks as well? I love the performance of the 11 but definitely gonna get a pair of 10s with all these comments about how good they are.

How do you feel about the Sabrina 1s for a guard?

[@ls_hoops]

Great option!

[@itspearsallszn]

What do you think about the 361 degrees 5.0 quick pro for guards?

[@Disenchaant]

What do you think is the best WoW shoe for outdoors? And what do you think is better between the three, the Wade Flash, Son Of Flash, or AC 12?

[@ls_hoops]

I’d say the regular AC12 is the best for outdoors. They have the best cushioning & durability imo. The flash is very low to the ground, but more versatile as you can also rock them off court. The SOF is one of my favorites all around but simply for outdoor needs the AC12 is the best

[@keanespinos]

Should I use the AE1 low high or mids?

[@8gangAiden]

Are the ja 2s actually good. Im looking for a new shoe and I’m a shooting guard. If you have any suggestions tell me please.

[@ls_hoops]

Yeah bro definitely!! All solid options, the big issue I had with the MB.03 was traction performance on dusty courts- how is that going for you?

[@jotho1793]

Yo great vid I've just bought the AE1's, what alternative insoles would you recommend to get?!

[@ls_hoops]

Thank you! If we’re talking about looks they are one of the best looking basketball shoes (I have the all star CW). For performance I don’t like them that much as they are a bit too narrow and stiff for me. I have a review of them on my account if you want to check it out!

[@ls_hoops]

Sabrina 2 is definitely better if you want something low to the ground

[@LazyGumshoe]

Do you have any thoughts on the New Balance Two Wxy V5? You mentioned Foot Doctor Zach, and he rates them very highly.

[@ls_hoops]

I haven’t played enough in them to rate them yet. They did feel very stiff right out of the box but broke in nicely. Will upload a review after I’ve worn them a couple more times in practice. So far it’s only been shooting sessions to break them in

[@LazyGumshoe]

@@ls_hoops Looking forward to that, the Two Wxy line has been lauded for being durable and supportive all around shoes, so I’d love to see if that actually holds up when a pro uses them.

[@zacchriyh5595]

Puma all pro nitro, two wxy v4/v5, or shockwave 5. Which do you recommend for 2-4 position

[@ls_hoops]

If you play on clean courts I would go with the all pro nitro. If not I think new balance will be the better option

[@fastermaster3238]

What about kai1 for pg?

[@moiziin0935]

Do you think the all city 12 encore could be a good option for a power forward?

[@ls_hoops]

Yes 100%!

[@starscream2]

How’s the translucent traction on the sunrise pair perform? Is it worse than the solid rubber pair?

[@ls_hoops]

No feels pretty much the same so far! Very sticky sound too

[@lehailong48]

Can I ask if i should use freak 6 or giannis immortality 4

[@ls_hoops]

The better value for money shoe is definitely the immortality 4 as both shoes feel very similar

[@ronaldfernando158]

Gt cut 3 or harden vol 8 better?

[@ls_hoops]

I prefer the Cut 3 because the hardens are too narrow

[@thunderBLGL]

are the KD 17s great for forwards?

[@ls_hoops]

Yeah bro they work for every position. I play SG and love to wear them

[@BreezyJC]

aye I’m 6’1 240 and put I lot of force into my shoes (I can dunk), if you want a light, high quality, supportive shoe with great traction, the lebron 21 is the best it’s perfect for me

[@ls_hoops]

🔥🔥

[@summmm1]

Hey bro, I'm a guard but just got a high ankle sprain so am looking for shoes with better ankle support for when I come back. Which should i get?

[@ls_hoops]

Hey! I highly suggest you check out my upload from 10 minutes ago as I go over how to chose a shoe and the “myth” of ankle support :) The best thing for your ankles is either tape or non restrictive ankle braces, a shoe can only do so much

[@summmm1]

@ Ok, thank you so much

[@austinrodriguez601]

Hey Lukas I have a question!? I’m a very heavy guard and I have a very wide foot what should I. Get

[@Linkinparkfan1302]

I Would say luca 2 or 3 because he is a heavy guard to so he focused on the Things he needs. Really good grip and good ancle support. I played alot in them and I love them

[@austinrodriguez601]

@ I have luka 2 but my foot is too wide and I don’t like them hurt my feet

[@ls_hoops]

Hey! Maybe the Hatden 7 or AE 1 can work for you- sorry for the late reply

[@naphatsamitthikorn3633]

Hi Lukas, could you suggest me a wide feet shoe for center or power forward role, I have already tried KD17(a bit too fit) Book1(press my top foot a bit) PG6(good but is it too old model) Luka3(fit but not sure is it good for big man?) 😢 too hard too find a shoe that fit wide feet. P.S. since I follow your channel, I think my feet shape close to you, pls suggest me🙏🏼🙏🏼

[@ls_hoops]

Hey! The Luka 3 can work for sure if you don’t need a lot of cushioning. They are very supportive and have good traction. You could give the Fresh Foam BB V2 a try, they are wide foot friendly and soft like the PG 6. Have you ever tried adidas shoes? They usually fit my foot shape very well

[@naphatsamitthikorn3633]

In fact I need cushion because Im a bit overweight 😂(220 lbs) And I have ever try only Harden 8, but it is a bit press my little fingers (have not try others adidas yet any suggestions😓)

[@kaydennanji477]

the ja 2s are sooo good and even on dusty courts they r good but very good and lots of squeak on normal courts

[@ls_hoops]

I agree! Traction really is phenomenal and I noticed hardly any dust pick up

[@zhanem2886]

Hello, I’m a 6 ft 4, 106kg SF/PF I’ve been looking at the Jordan 38 Highs, the Nike Gt Jump Force 2 and The Puma MB03, I’m a bit of a jack of all trades, I can drive, I can ball handle and I get in the paint as well, I would say I do make a lot of fast movements and i’m less of a slow- in the paint guy, more like a giannis type of player, what shoes would you reccomend for me? I have wide feet too, if you could give me a recommendation out of the three then if you want to add another reccomendation of a good show that would be fine too. Thank!

[@justklaus7980]

go with lebron 21 or wait for the 22, this type of shoe will match your playing style very much in my opinion

[@ls_hoops]

I agree with the other comment, LeBron 21 could be very nice for you. The Jordan 38 as well imo but outsoles durability isn’t the best. MB3 struggled with dusty courts so I’m not sure. Sorry for the late reply!

Almost all the colorways have different materials which can make a performance difference. Also the solid rubber outsoles pick up less dust from my experience. Cushioning and support are the same in all colorways

The ones in the video as well as the WOW 11, KD 16 & LeBron 20/21

[@indrisanz]

GT cut 3 or WAC 12 encore?

For me the Cut 3 because they fit better but not regarding fit it’s hard to say. Both top tier. Wades will last you longer

No it always depends on the shoes. If a shoe already has a carbon plate or a stiff mid foot than I don’t use them as it feels too stiff for me. I mainly use them on shoes that lack torsional support. There’ll be a VKTRY review in about a week where I go into much more detail!

That really comes down to what you need from a shoe. All of them are very good so it’s hard to say one is better than the other. If you need a lot of cushioning for example, the Wade 11 will be better than the others. If you need courtdeel, the Sabrina’s will be better and so on
