Puma Fusion Nitro Performance Review

[@ScruffysBucket]

Damn don't often see Chris with a negative review.. I appreciate it though because I was really digging the look of these and figured would be solid performer

[@MilesOC89]

Same I was just looking at these hoping something would drop soon.

[@nittanylion7]

"today we've got the review on these uhh...things right here" 🤣

[@christianmartin7047]

Man, I was so excited to get a pair of these because I love the all pro but now I’m in tears.

[@MoneyShotMickey]

Wanted to buy these. But, good thing I watched this first. Thanks!

[@PoserExtreme]

Good thing I did not pull the trigger on buying this, will probably wait for the Clyde All Pro in my size to be available again.

[@RedBaron8698]

happy that I copped the all-pro for $54 at a Puma outlet. I was lucky that the only one in stock was in my size.

[@TheMrFishnDucks]

I always appreciate the honesty of your reviews. I'm hoping some of these land at outlets. Looking forward to the next review. Keep up the good work.

[@RawBe3f]

Thank you for the performance review, Chris. This was your last review before your announcement. However, I know that if you decide to do performance reviews in the future, I know it will be worth it.

[@jaimeh8246]

I’ve had the same experience with shoes in where I destroyed my ankle in a particular pair (LeBron 17) and just did not wanna wear them anymore

[@InZaneKicks]

A huge plus is that they have been releasing a healthy assortment of basketball options

[@menzi4856]

I played in these for the first time a day ago. I was a bit worried about stability watching reviews but these kicks really aren’t that bad. Comfy as hell and they’re great for dunking, or maybe it’s just me.

[@Popongkee]

Hey guys. There is a new Fusion Nitro variant that has traditional laces. I believe it is called Fusion Nitro Team. Was wondering if you could give this a review as well on its performance on top of its better aesthetics conpared to the normal Fusion Nitro's. Thanks!

[@Saltycures]

I wonder if the Black Fives edition is any better for lateral support? They have a full row of reinforced lace holes with no elastic band, and the medial surface seems to have some sort of synthetic leather. Anybody have these and can speak to this?

[@Suavito1]

That's crazy, I roll my ankles a lot on these shoes and the whole time I was thinking man my ankles have gotten weak or something 😭

[@scr13bles]

Hey Nightwing tell me how you really feel about these PUMA's lol. *casually slides them off the desk* love the hoest review.

[@_rufio116]

Other than the intro, once Chris says, “on these things right here” instead of “these bad boys” ...I knew it was bad 🤣

[@asapmiki]

Facts!

[@dsanchez9703]

They look cool

[@johncarlojocson]

Keeping it 💯 while being professional

[@xavyy555]

Chris wit the dime onna p n roll

[@janryboy]

oh thanks! I was just waiting for this review, sorry Puma, will just wait for something better than the clyde pro

[@samaantree]

What you need is a basket ball hoop with a bin below it 😂. Shame those sneaks didn’t make the mark like not even close. That ankle role looked like a trip to A&E bruh. No thanks!

[@eddielim3909]

Thanks man, I’m going to save my ankle and money, get myself a 3rd pair of Clyde all-pro.

[@arpanmalik103]

they're that good?

[@arpanmalik103]

how is the durability on outdoor courts?

[@y_gagaring]

That's a shame about the upper really giving no support because my daughter's soccer boots of the same design are here favorite and actually have given her the most stability she had ever had in all her years of playing. So much that even while wearing them in the house on hard word floors she walks like she isn't wearing shoes. They even have given her more confidence on the pitch because she is not thinking about rolling an ankle or anything, she just plays now.

[@manny24lal]

Man that first 15 seconds was a gut punch, I really liked how these look 😕

[@LeBronfrostbron]

What is the black shoes name ?

[@gregoryking4796]

Sad to hear considering that they absolutely crushed it with the new running shoe lineup

[@mitsuralli21]

I did roll my ankle the second time I used them but I’ve gone on even harder plays since and I was fine. I actually like them a lot but they get dirty inside super quick. I have a wide foot btw.

[@kevinnn_park]

“”these ehhh things right here””

[@dstroud0]

Ive got these

[@jpowers7529]

did your ankle swell up ?

[@justinlukeyap]

You really said things instead of bad boys!😂🤣

[@sinnamon]

Those be good boys.

[@yvngblasian]

came here cuz i saw mikey williams had them

[@johnjudemichaellabus6851]

Hey chris! Please make a performance review of D Rose 11 Brenda. I've been waiting for it for so long. 😔

[@diegos9613]

Uff ...so dissapointed they f... up with these. All pro had something unique. I got 3 pairs....

[@dstroud0]

Idk how to feel ab them yet, they are okay, but disappointing lol

[@JosiahBrewster]

Have you had any support issues? Similar to Chris?

[@samaantree]

Probably good for casual wear 🤷🏾‍♂️

[@Drew.Whitcomb]

Dangerous like sweatpants 🤣🤣🤣

[@jayeads]

nooooooooo, I was so hopeful.

[@WearTesters]

Happy Friday! We hope you enjoy our Puma Fusion Nitro Performance Review. Feel free to share your on-court experiences in the shoe down below.

[@JosiahBrewster]

Really hope they take what was good (cushion, traction) and make a supportive upper… Rooting for Puma’s success, and hope they can figure it out.

[@scotto9857]

Why can’t brands just make a slight upgrade to shoes when they have a banger? I never understand why they make great shoes, not make enough pairs and colour ways then completely overhaul the design next year The shoe is never as good

[@goukihakai]

Will always love the honesty and realness of this channel

[@AlayeDaaji]

Wow. I was not expecting that yet being able to still keep it professional was impressive. A bad roll would mean rehab/physio or else it'll just get worse. It's a red flag if your ankle rolls so easily in any sneaker. Health is wealth.

[@stevenglen5971]

Dude this is very left field but I live in the UK and here in Europe handball is big (mainly in the mainland continent)..well they have kinda made a version with this midsole material with their handball shoes, and because of the upper set up it is wayyyyy more secure fit.... Handball having the similar movements to basketball the shoes (yh there are two models!) can work for bball!! One is called Accelerate Turbo Nitro Handball Shoes And the other is Eliminate Power Nitro Handball Shoes All puma, wish they directed this to basketball too 😅

[@johvanortiz6267]

This shoe could've been so great. Maybe Puma should release a retro version of the shoe with leather or suede.

[@nikeheritage86]

Hopefully Puma will hear the pretty intense backlash from the community and respond with a completed update🙌

[@nafeeahnaf6296]

Fuzion Fit band works really well with their Future football (soccer) boots but well it seems it didn't translate well to basketball.

[@remytron83]

It seems as though they’re inconsistent.

[@shayp3kicks]

The realist there is 💯 . Always has and probably always will be the standard for sneaker reviews. #motivation

[@nfdlCstr]

Hard facts dished out today 😅

[@墨食墨住]

Thanks Chris, I was really considering to get the Fusion Nitro coz I love the CLyde all pro, but now I will look out for another CAP at outlet.

[@scottsad0rk]

Played in a pair of these yesterday. Can confirm these are the comfiest shoes I've played in, in a long time. Mid sole is awesome! Haven't experienced any slipping laterally. At no time did I feel as though my ankles were going to turn. Just my experience, however this doesn't mean it won't happen in future.

[@itzTOP3]

Honestly I can tell he out to much for on his ankle doing the stopping instead of stomping g lightly if u know what I mean

[@bezpravok]

One dislike from Puma CEO 😂

[@michaelsanford4891]

Chris keeping it 💯 about these and that's why I watch

[@CrazyBlackMan108]

I get what Jodi was saying about the sweat pants lol. Good review as always. Sad that they weren't good, I know the feeling. Also going to cop the shirt you're wearing in the video.

[@grimmersnee]

need more Cylde pros with different colours..

[@scizor285]

Sad to see puma ruin a good thing with a shitty upper. Don't really play basketball but Chris is so good with his performance reviews.

[@mob19001]

So this is a dangerous shoe for hooping, got it. Plus, the heel cushion is caged.

[@zeinpermana7252]

Clyde All Pro still the BEST then?

[@5at5una]

just bought 2 for 1 price.. and freaking hell.. it hella good... i dont have many shoes.. but its definitely better then boost (Drose 8), bounce (Drose 10) and Lightstrike (Drose 11)

[@variandavid377]

Oooooooooof!!!! I felt that ankle roll just watching it. DAYUM! Great pick and roll executed!!! I wonder if the stack height difference between the bball shoe and a soccer cleat makes the difference in performance in the upper as well…..or that they didn’t tweak it enough to translate to bball application.

[@jacobmontoya5534]

I'm convinced that this is the only (or 1 of the only) channel in the world where people review and buy shoes just for the simple fact that they like and review shoes. For some reason, with most other KZbinrs I feel like they only do it because they want to make money with it, Hypebeasts, or a collector. That is 99% of them. I bet most of them just collect Jordans, but wear Crocs or something stupid like that lol.

[@joshyyposhyy4287]

I know you guys don't like to do performance reviews of stuff you don't like but I think it's needed. This was a great video because there are similar styles of shoes with similar tooling and built so people can now know what to look for.

[@darwinmoresco7724]

Planning to cop but after this review, will forget about it. NB basketball shoes for me is phenomenal.

[@spiderkillsthefly8079]

Chris was comically brutal in this one! Only thing left off is a shot of him throwing them in the trash next to a basketball hoop.

[@DariousK1NG1]

I’m surprised this channel hasn’t hit 1M yet

[@joamon10]

Hopefully the MB1s are better. Those all red colorway is sick

[@AddOnKicks]

Not the review I expected ☹️

[@blakesee3083]

Why are all the basketball shoes nowadays all low cut doesn't protect the ankle

[@edemafidenyo]

Really hoping that they’d be bad boys

[@carlogara7818]

Hi mr and mrs wing

[@WearTesters]

👋

[@starscream2]

Got my blue pair in today and from an initial try on these feel spectacular. Traction, cushion, fit, & lockdown are all on point! Unfortunately, I won't be able to take these to the court and test them out for a while. If I don't run into the support issues that you did, then these have the potential of being god-tier shoes. Cranking the laces on the 2 straps on the lower side along with the 3 lace loops on the upper side along withe the plastic fuse would make me think that it would provide adequete support. I'll report back on these after I play.

[@dynasty4768]

How did you like them after play? I’m thinking about getting the fusion nitro spectra

[@anfer.sneeze]

aww man, after seeing the reveal video i was super excited, especially after the “these are like kobes, but on steroids” comment. sad to see thats not the case. i guess ill also stick to the clyde all pro.

[@WearTesters]

Believe he said that about the All Pro not the Fusion Nitro.

[@noobnoob117]

i just got these on sale hahaha

[@poncart]

i love puma clyde hardwood, and after use all pro, much better. but if Chris say this is trash, and u know it ?

[@andreharper7127]

I had a different experience, they feel fine to me, no ankle rolls etc each it’s own I guess nice 👍🏾 video Chris

[@ben.a7834]

How do they feel now, if u still have it

[@andreharper7127]

@@ben.a7834 they feel great I have gotten 3 more colors

[@reigntip30]

I rolled the shit out of my left ankle in these. Sold my pair on goat the next day

[@whatwouldyoudopoker3708]

I'm in my mid 40s that can move like mid 30s...at least I'd like to think so. But at the end of the day, my body still hurt like 40s. I've been stuck with the PG1 because everything I tried doesn't have the comfort I'm looking for - from the Dame 4, PG2, some Kyrie, Lebron Soldier 4 - they just don't feel comfortable. However these puma feel very comfortable and soft on my feet. I will definitely be balling in these going forward.

[@metanoba4099]

So for the Puma Clyde all pro I have a slightly wider foot would you recommend going up half a size because my size changes (like most people) depending on the shoe what size would you recommend

[@GreekSneakCollector]

Wow! I didn't expect that!

[@eduardocarcamo2347]

I had the same issue with the New Balance Omn1s and the Convers pro bb then and now, just kept on rolling my ankles and had to stop playing on those. The clyde all pro were just dope, so are (in a lower rank) the jordan 35.

[@mandoball1980s]

Puma has a loooooong way to go

[@ryanflores2281]

Bummer, they were breaking in nicely but now I am afraid to wear them on court. I only have 1 or 2 ankle rolls left in my “career”!

[@lucidous]

Sucks they suck on the court. I love these at work for nursing. Hopefully they go on clearance ASAP.

[@MrFan44]

i just sprained my ankle (inside foot) with these pair of shoes. And i was wearing ankle guards too! DO NOT GET THEM

[@on10toes]

I’m hyped for the Breanna Stewart signature shoe and I hope it’s closer to the Clyde than this.

[@jpowers7529]

rolled ankle , you want freedom for ankle movement for low tops, soccer football thing I guess , I like freedom for low tops

[@Aizawl_3]

Just wore these this morning. I really enjoyed myself.

[@russellgray1917]

Ok, great video, very informative. It's not good when you can actually feel your foot and ankle start to roll in the shoe. I've been hoping that Puma would get it right, as far as basketball is concerned. They made a signature shoe for Vince Carter back in the 90's called the Vinsanity. It was a great shoe to play in, plenty of support for all directions,and it was made from decent leather. Thought that it would be the beginning of a good line of shoes,but Puma couldn't back it up. Thanks for your honesty in reviewing these. Maybe Puma takes the hint and makes it better.

[@Nightnewzz]

Speaking about ankle rolls your gonna love the zoom freak 3Zz

[@belmarmabhena7960]

they are like sweat pants. Mrs wing with another killer reference. Thanks for the review, now i know not to hunt for these no matter what.

[@yanguskhan8513]

did puma not do any R &D on these shoes? it took Chris barely any playing time in these to figure out problems with them.

[@ckenz21]

sure i won't play on those but might wear them for daily use if they`re that comfy and grip.

[@ethanleopold2439]

i literally just ordered a pair before watching this...

[@Redvsblue2132]

I was waiting for you to throw the shoes off camera and sure enough you did at the very end. Lol

[@mazlannzainol]

Is this comfortable enough to be used just for running instead?

[@aubreygraham1704]

My question is, why they leaving you open at the three line? Don’t they know who you are?

[@thuganomicswag]

Could you review Candace parkers shoe

[@andrewlizhen]

Will there be a performance review for Lining WOW 9?

[@HighSpinSwingSpeed]

What are the best Basketball shoes for wide feet?

[@carbonsteelmaniac652]

You know that bboy are going to dance in these
