BEAST Performance for ONLY $110?! Adidas AE 1 LOW Detailed Look & Review!

[@nate1prtx]

I haven't played in mine yet but i can tell the differences between the shoes. It's not as soft and the shoe does feel stiffer. Heel slippage can be a thing in these if you don't size correctly. One thing I've noticed between everyone who has reviewed this shoe is everyone says something different about sizing. Some say size up, some say go true to size and one said size down. I did exactly like my highs, i went a half size down and I'm glad i did. If i would of gone true to size the shoe would of been to long.

[@ecolon217]

I don’t have a pair of the highs but I got these a half size down cause of what I heard from ppl with the highs.. They’re pretty snug for me even with my feet on the narrow side but I can make em work. Adidas usually feel sloppy in the heel for me but these have been better than most - I think if I went tts, that might be a different story

[@ashcat7931]

@@ecolon217 i use size 8 bball shoes but i went 7.5 on ae1 and feel d same i even g for double socks

[@amherawdr]

I have UK7 on the regular AE1…this time i bought size uk6.5 on the lows and its perfect!

[@chris-mf6sv]

What Nate said, I went true to size and I got heel slippage

[@njY2K]

Going true to size has a bit of heel slippage for me, going half size down and my toes are crammed in the front. I went true to size. Best to fit your pair in-store before buying.

[@danimalman3]

I wish nike would put more effort into their shoes in the $100-130 range because they're mostly the same. The cushion tech you usually get with other brands has been better in that range compared to nike who just uses phylon and 1 zoom unit.

[@younggotti8195]

Been saying that for years, Nike is the only company that doesn’t give full length cushioning and their cushioning is super old so at this point it cost them nothing to make

[@ForrestBreeze]

00:52 easy answer. hes marketing his product. dont forget when he was micd up asking for his high tops after wearing his lows for a bit in game.

[@wangdong6342]

really? Where did you find that micd up?

[@ForrestBreeze]

@@wangdong6342 one of the playoff practices im pretty sure. i didnt save the video but its on youtube. pretty sure i commented about that on it too.

[@lilkaid3270]

yeah he rolled his ankle in the lows, had to put the highs on, pretty sure sometime in the suns series

[@jhunbatua3795]

Thats from the suns game.

[@user-op8uu8on1m]

There is a grey rubber disk on the bottom of the forefoot. Its not foam that you see in the perforated outsole its the grey rubber disk that they added hence why you cant bend the toe as easily. If you use a anything to poke it, you will feel that its not grey foam, but grey rubber.

[@EazyMagicx]

The mixed reviews of sizing for the AE1s are scaring me 😂. I’ll just wait for the 39s to go on sale.

[@Striderthedripper_]

As far as I can tell you the highs go half size down cause they fit long . Idk about the lows tho

[@TheKeewyn]

@@Striderthedripper_ but some people are saying the lows are snug so its confusing. I went tts in the regular version and they were way too big and i have a slightly wide foot so im stuck haha

[@Striderthedripper_]

@@TheKeewyn yep same here we in the same boat . I’m tryna sell my 9.5 clays they pretty much new

[@martylmao]

The light boost is just like air zoom one in the heel and one in the forefoot

[@doktorhypebeast]

There's actually been a lot of anecdotal evidence of heel slippage in the lows as compared the OG's. That should definitely affect performance

[@Nixxtrr]

The rubber in the forefoot pinches like crazy - Goes to show most people aren't buying them to play basketball.

[@younggotti8195]

Heel slippage is coming before the torsion plate is broken in or if someone buys the wrong size

[@goodcompanyman]

@@younggotti8195i bought 3 sizes. Tts, half down, full down. All had heel instability.

[@jacobpacker6676]

how is the sizing?

[@mikeljohnp]

Went .5 up due to my wide feet and big toe nails being crushed at tts, experienced heel slippage but still playable for me! Prefer playing them more rather than my mids

[@nassiglutt6587]

It's what I hate about this pointed toe sneakers shaped like yeezy 350 V2. You can't go TTS. I rather won't cop

[@davehe1dh]

Bro you can give them a try 😂 they only $110. Plus it’s really a good hoop shoe

[@nassiglutt6587]

@@davehe1dh on the fense here, my feet must be same with Kobe and MJ whom their shoes gives adequate space for the big toes. I may wait for that USA version on aug 15th, the navy with orange hits for prolly casual use. I can't run with heel slippage😁

[@Boe3]

Once you break them in get thicker socks that’s what I do

[@MercySaidSo_]

I have both the mid top Charcoal and these low tops. I've seen other ppl mention the lows don't squeak as much compared to the Mids. Today I was looking at both of my shoes and noticed that the the grooves on the lows aren't as pronounced as the mid tops. Bottom sole on the lows are slightly "flatter", probably why they don't squeak as much

[@bryanvazquez3238]

He said “is it lightstrike, is it boost? Idk what it is” maybe is exactly what it is lightstike & boost = Lightboost 🤷🏽‍♂️😂

[@njY2K]

Going true to size has a bit of heel slippage for me, going half size down and my toes are crammed in the front. I went true to size. Best to fit your pair in-store before buying.

[@HammerKuo-c9i]

Someone has dissected the shoes. It’s lightstrike midsole scaffold with two lightboost pods at the heel and forefoot

[@younggotti8195]

I don’t pay retail for ball shoes ever, it’s dumb, this may be the exception The foam seems to be lightstrike with light boost pucks in the heel and forefoot…adidas should have been using this set up forever ago

[@starwarz8479]

So is that the same set up as the mid/ high model?

[@younggotti8195]

@@starwarz8479 no the original is jet boost and I don’t believe it’s puck inserts and just foam, if it’s dual density or not, I don’t remember

[@Boe3]

You’ll never find them on sale cuz Adidas plans are different now. They’re leaning onto the Kanye low production high demand model. Even harden knows it he said his 8s will be an exclusive shoe to get in the next to 2 years

[@UtmostChingon]

Bro the whole outsole is different, the ridges on the high top aren’t flat like they are on the lows. Performance wise, it’s completely different

[@MrPsramos]

$110 but hard to find

[@robertrobertpinkston1982]

Just got mines on foot locker yesterday.

[@ronron-my5zm]

Is this shoe top tier for really dust courts?

[@Tapeworm99]

I haven’t owned the mids just the lows. The fit is great for me, but im super disappointed in the cushion shoe feels super stiff and cushion feels non existent. Traction is goated tho

[@Boe3]

Would you say the Harden 8s better in cushion?

[@gabesoto9301]

its lightstrike with boost cut outs in the forefoot and the heel.

[@TheKeewyn]

you didnt talk about the sizing and fit :(

[@lifesupport6441]

Lightboost = lightstrike + boost blend

[@charlesmanigo4376]

are the laces still a problem in the low?

[@y2shuproblem]

Since i already hoop in the AE1 Stormtroopers (right now on the shelf because I'm playing in the Kobe 4 Protros, I'm not above getting the lows for casual wear.

[@Ejp23_]

Which got better traction and cushion between the 2 you mentioned?

[@y2shuproblem]

@@Ejp23_ to me, the traction is the same, but AE1 has more cushion, but it's heavier. I'll say if you can't afford Kobes and you don't mind playing in heavy shoes, AE1s are an excellent choice. It's my favorite shoe to play in.

[@Boe3]

@@Ejp23_yeah he’s right. Or you can get the PGs (imo one of the best cushion setups and is very light) PG2.5 or 4s are the best for me

[@Dr.Tony.Cii.]

@@isaiaha4126both of the Sabrinas are extremely overrated to me. I guess I’m just used to hooping in Nike, Adidas, and Way Of Wade’s top of the line Tier 1 shoes (Jordan signature line every year…35 36 37 38 & 39 on the way, Harden Vol 7 and 8, and WOW All City 11, WOW 10, & WOW 11 on the way). So I guess I’m a bit spoiled in that regard. Tried some of the mid tier shoes like the Sabrina and returned them almost immediately.

Thank you for this! I was about to cop the lows instead of the harden 8s (I got the AE highs) and wanted another lighter Adidas shoe. Ig ill wait for the dames or go for the 8s

[@MadSUPANOVA]

Cushioning flat hard.. lightstruke is trash. True to size, nice Kanye theft design.. do like the style of shoe, but put your own Cushioning in.. it comes alive. Zoom strobel would make shoes great. Low lacing is better than mid, can pull laces tight on low..But rather play in mid over low

[@jaybanthony]

I like the low but same as the original, it's still too heavy.

[@kaidenfrueauf2096]

These perform terribly don’t listen to him. Forefoot cushion is non-existent and heel slippage is so awful.

bruh

[@nate1prtx]

@timon701 he might be on to something. I tried mine on and they are noticeably stiff in the forefoot flex is tough, cushion is not as soft as the mids and I went down half a size and feel like I can lose a shoe if someone steps on the back.
