I’m wondering if this was going to be the pg7 and nike switched it up. Also can’t talk about this shoe without the importance of competition and how WOW and SPO forced Nike to step their game up

[@russ5049]

Damn, I think you're spot on!

[@futurehofer1564]

absolutely not, they knew the 6 was the last one when they made it

[@jdmkIII]

@@futurehofer1564 Nike already have designs for future sig shoes before they release the previous model. Is just that the athlete can have his/her own adjustments in the design and tech. Sabrina 1 just might be another version of a Kyrie low model, the timing of its announcement made it possible.

[@robo_goat69]

@@futurehofer1564 ok but these shoes are conceptualized years in advance so we could both be right. Nike had a roadmap for the pg and then decided that the six would be it and what they’d been developing for the 7 would go to zion, who rather famously wore pg’s in college. The pg was one of Nikes best (and most competed with) shoes. It filled an important slot between the minimalist kyries (filled by ja and Sabrina) and maximalist lebrons. This shoe looks to be in a similar slot. More cushion and support than ja/Sabrina but less than lebrons.

[@disturbedwaves9505]

Nike is so bad for letting his line go 💀 that’s why I haven’t touched my pg 6’s yet

[@younggotti8195]

Know how they say a shoe grows on you? I feel the opposite for this..the more I see it the more I dislike it

[@dedmeems3913]

Opposite for me, the more I see it, the more I want and love it

[@ZebraCamel]

😂😂😂. Facts. Especially this weak ass color.

[@Dipset415]

They have some dope colorways coming out for these

@Dipset415 yea. I like the Jordan 3 white cement look alike colorway but the splatter texture definitely throws me off

Feel like a Kobe and look like a Li Ning. Lmao.

[@wadec6799]

To me these r a must cop i also think the zion 2 was most underrated shoe last yr for bball anyone from lightning fast guards to centers could rock those

[@wilt3051]

Yup but it did look like a fat boy shoe

I'll tell you what's under rated - New Balance. I've always had the most hyped Nike / Adidas. I thought I'd give NB a go and they are super nice

[@Re-InCarNation]

I hope Nike bring out a shoe that can match the Kobe mentality 2s. Those were crazy lightweight, had amazing traction with good durability, nice upper materials, adequate containment and a drop-in midsole design, you could put the Kobe 11 ID full-length zoom midsole with a minimal weight penalty.

[@GreekSneakCollector]

That's enough with the quote "looks like a Kobe"!

[@Balachiang]

We need a video comparing all the drop in midsole shoes 🤩🙏

[@timl998]

Was looking for a good outdoor shoe, and I like that the pads inside are on the sides instead of the back. I feel like the back causes heel slippage. I think I just can't get this show though because it will make me feel unbalanced. Too fat in the back and way too thin and narrow in the front. I miss the cp3 line

[@dedmeems3913]

Kyrie 5 low and Zion 2 I can personally recommend, great outdoor shoes, don’t know if you’ll be able to get the Kyrie though.

[@timl998]

@@dedmeems3913 I hate kyrie shoes, worst shoes ever. Zion 2 looks way too limiting, built for gorillas

[@_nmd3758]

Are you sure your feet haven’t grown? I can’t remember the last time a shoe fit true to size for you.

[@KristianDowling]

I don't know how after all these years you keep complaining about shoes with drop in midsoles because the heal is firm. This is for stability as the midsole inside is absorbing the impact. Most shoes with drop in midsole do this for stability. Isn't that obvious? The Lebron 20 was a great shoe but had too much compression in the heel making landing unstable at times. This is how they fix that issue.

[@izraeltube]

Just got the pink! QUESTION/HELP: What does the NBLYYDY mean? It's on the outside of the forefoot, top of the rubber feeling part of the soul that wraps up.

[@dripjohnson]

The next kobe when they could just release a normal amount of kobes to ball in

I can’t wait for mine to get to my doorstep

This colorway and the all pink ones are fire bro, definitely copping these 🔥

is this better than the kd16???

Wait a minute….ZION HAS A 3RD SHOE?! When did that happen😂

[@rydermckillop9466]

How do they stack up against the wow 808 3 ultras?

[@boxer5755]

This shoe is basically designed for me, its got ankle cushion, drop in midsole, and tight fit, which is great because my feet are normally too narrow, i can't wait to get a pair of these

[@jd2035]

they dont have any traction

[@boxer5755]

@@jd2035 the performance review says otherwise

NIKE!!! Is that a side window & drop in .. Hmm! That's 808'ish ... That means that Chinese brands are doing it right. #Li-Ning #WayofWade

[@darandomdog]

I love the design of the shoe just hope for like NIKE ID or just better colourways because so far the colours arent my favourite

[@BenTamblings]

Still waiting on performance reviews of shoes from 2 to 3 months ago. 😂 you should ditch the 1st impressions vid and jump to performance reviews. Smh

[@HamNo3guards]

only sneaker review that includes weight measuring. truly iconic

[@hausauce]

I was excited for these, I loved the traction on my Zion 2s but they were always so narrow, ended up actually bruising my pinky toes. Sad to hear that there was so improvement there

[@tylerhainer8540]

Looks like a great shoe aside from the narrow toe box - could be a deal breaker

[@ThUnDa328]

i love how a shoe from aaron gordan is becoming a way to criticize other shoes lol

if i get them one size up will i have any problem in my toes?i had pain in gt cuts 2 but i got them in my true size

$110 not $140...oh and yah its ur floor man its not the shoe...clean ur floor maybe lol

Is this better than the son of flash in terms of performance?especially for bigs. Thanks.

[@jorgklatt396]

Can I drop the midsole in my Kobe 8s? 🤩

[@Nightnewzz]

The traction does not feel really really good not sure if you’re paid to say that but it picks up dust on any court clean or dusty and the traction grinds down after a few wears

[@ma76bball68]

The first time I saw a mid foot out rigger was on the Asics Unpre Ars from two years ago. Fantastic feature. Made a huge difference in stability when I played in them. Wish companies would utilize this simple feature on more shoes.

[@nicknett8]

All old Nike basketball shoes from like 08/2012 had out rigger! The hyperlinks hyoerfuse etc was a great time for ball shoes! Wish Nike had it on every shoe because makes such a difference when playing

[@chanceyang6309]

If you squint they have a similar shape to the Kobe 11.

[@MadSUPANOVA]

Zion ' stepped in mud' Hahaha The meaning is a slang term meaning Zion came up' out the mud the dirt rhe hardships the trials in his life to reach the highest level. Verdict: ugly shoe.. but no doubt made for performance

[@jonahflocas510]

Honestly very impressed. For someone who has a very large collection and knows a tone about basketball performance shoes, I think this will be an exciting shoe.

[@PhysicalMediaOnline]

Heavy Kobe 11 EM influence. But…the 11 EM wasn’t narrow. Was probably one of the more roomy Kobe’s IMO. The 11 Elite was narrow tho.

[@tamakanaaccla1728]

I guess my brother read my comment from the past and he didn't explain himself again about those squeeks or something! that's what I'm talkin about bro! I love it! keep it!

[@marknoelpuno5412]

Am I the only one that thinks this should’ve been a Luka shoe

[@ry-a0]

Been saying since this and the luka 2 first revealed that they look like they switched the names attached. They definitely both look like the other lines' predecessors

Just tried my pair on and they might turn out to be really good. For reference I'm a wide footer and I double sock. 1st time I put them on it was tight on my right foot but over time they just started to feel better. The insole is going to need time to mold to the foot. The lockdown is great and feels really comfortable over all.
