Rating EVERY HOOP SHOE SO FAR! Tier List 2024!

[@MyManD]

Dude the S-tier should have the LEAST amount of shoes, not the most lol. When so many shoes are S, the tier doesn't mean anything anymore. It should be the absolute top of the top that you have NO complaints or qualms about, but like half the shoes there you always say something like, "Great cushion, but..." or "Fits great, but..." and on and on. There shouldn't be any buts in S-tier.

[@ryanreviews8566]

it's almost like nothing is truly perfect huh

[@Grizzy_17]

stop the yapping. they are S tier bc they are good.

[@MyManD]

@@Grizzy_17 You know a B and A are also "good" tiers as well right?

[@MyManD]

@@ryanreviews8566 That's true, and that's why A and B tier exists. For the close, but imperfect shoes.

[@kaatsu2043]

You just want something for lack of decision bro. S tier basically means that If you pick any of those shoes It Will be great. That's a good thing, not a bad one (also bro listed a thousand shoes and only like 15 are in S tier, seems fair to me)

I thought the list was alright, but a lot of ppl think your S-tier needs to be more strict. It is your opinion at the end of the day & not anybody else's, but it might be worth considering for future lists

[@krwnsy]

I could be wrong but this is the first time i've seen the Ja1 rated this high on anyone else's list.

[@f1tzy_469]

it does match his playstyle so that is why

[@calvin4319]

Because it’s an easy shoe for anyone to like, great traction indoors and able to be used outdoors , super light but still supportive. Any hooper could wear these and not feel like the shoe is holding them back

[@terrylmcpherson5610]

Nice vid as usual and always appreciate your work. In this case, your rankings may be aided with a scoring system for each shoe review. Some of the gripes for your highest rated shoes made them sound as if they should be lower ranked

For the more recent video of the review of the J Lin 5’s where would they be placed in this list?

[@oceancycloneblue5356]

Glad to see the crossover culture fortune included in the A tier. I really enjoyed the cushioning on that shoe, if the traction had a more durable pattern they could easily crack S tier.

[@jjedwards5744]

Can you please tell me which of these shoes is the best overall including aesthetics, big3 5.0 quick pro, serious player only player 1 plus, or Anta kai 1. I'm deciding which one to get.

You dont break in the traction enough in shoes. Try bringing the all city 12 outdoors for quite sometime. It will get super grippy after actually breaking it in.

[@calvin4319]

Pretty average imo, just an old school Nike shoe design, old school cushion that’ll probably bottom out, materials that aren’t the most minimal or breathable, more of a tribute to old Nike shoes more than anything.

[@projectgraham414]

@@HopefulStripedTiger-mk3ex he's....fine. his obsession with squeak is weird, especially since it has no bearing on actual performance.

[@jonathamoreira2722]

​@@projectgraham414 i agree. Sometimes i feel Sammy obsess with drop insoles too much as well.

[@mr.z3703]

For the most part, I’d have to agree with the shoes I’ve played in. Shockwave 5 Pro. Automatic S Tier for me. Great fit, great traction, I had no problem on dust or not. Great support. Not really an impact protection shoe, but amazing court feel. For me, the LeBron 21s or just a B/A, I did get them in a 10.5 but prolly needed a 10. So that could be the problem also, just don’t find myself hooping in them often. Kobe 8s, A/S. I need to break them in before I decide fully. Great support, traction is crazy, not super comfortable to me, kind of narrow. Felt light to me. And the drop in sole grabs my socks so bad makes it difficult to b wear right, but when you do it’s good. AE1 is great all around, not the weight just keeps me from putting it in S. Has to be strong A. Kobe Protro 5 broken in has to be my goat hoop shoe.

[@KalbongBarista]

Same, AC 12 is an S tier for me based on my experience. Its squeak is none to medium squeak, but definitely great traction. I had no issues with AC 12

Love the tier list videos; one suggestion, maybe you can group shoes from the same brand or lineup and do them back-to-back? For example, do the Big3 Future, Big3 Quick, and Big3 Quick Pro one after another, rather than having a bunch of others shoes in between. Same with the three versions of the AG4. It would make things flow a little better when you're comparing similar shoes.

[@yashA.456]

Great advise, flows a lot better presentation wise, but also helps the viewer when you're only searching for shoes from one brand or wanna know how different versions of the same model rank between each other and you don't wanna click your way through the video.
