Top 10 Basketball Shoes for Outdoors

[@TommyLiu4]

What are your go-to outdoor shoes now??

[@IsmaelNoria]

I use the old ones i have and the News for indoor. So i have a Jordan Stay Loyal 2 (some say those are not for playing) and a pair of Jordan 37 Tatum PE

[@giuseppeganci5187]

Air Max Impact 4, simply amazing

Precision 4/6 still holds up and lightweight

[@ReplicaNY]

Current rotation are the son of flash, dame certified, wade 808 2

[@Dboyle1209]

Just bought the black/white two wxys. They feel great on concrete, super grippy. People hate on the looks (at least on the internet), but to me they look a lot like the old Converse Iverson's, which I thought were sick.

[@TommyLiu4]

Nice! Yup they got that old-school gene in them almost, over time the silhouette really started growing on me too 😃

[@lionelgrisbane-ud87]

Bruh I literally searched this exact same subject on google earlier today, then superhero Tommy Liu flies in with another awesome video. Thank you my brother!!

Cheers! Great minds think alike 😆🙏

[@calvin4319]

Been waiting for an updated list for outdoors for a while now, I’m glad you finally uploaded it.

[@jonathanperez-oz6zf]

Was waiting for this video to drop from you Tommy! Much appreciate it. I used to play in some old Li ning shoes like the way of wade 4 lite and all city 8 v2 but my shoe size grew!! (The agony of growing up) Now I play in my d rose 5 lows (or Englewoods) and an old pair of pg 3s that I loved playing indoors but got for dirt cheap back then. I Love the Dame Certified as much as you do but I'm a 6'2 212 lbs shooter that needs cushion when outside (indoors fantastic though, top 3 for me) Overall, I'm opting to get a pair of Dame 8s and NB two wxy v4. Cause of the cushion and hopefully lighter outdoors

[@TommyLiu4]

👍👍 I feel you - Appreciate your input! Both those two should be great options for outdoor use.

[@Funky_Astroman]

Man the curry splash 3 have been great for me outdoors. Got a pair on sale for $80 and The traction is unlike any hoop shoe I’ve used outdoors but to be fair still haven’t tried anything from Wade

[@j_prevo]

You have the best reviews rn man! Idk if it’s worth it, but would you ever make a list about shoes with the best ankle support ? I’m getting old 😅

Top 3 outdoor shoes have been PG6, Son of Chi 1 and 2WXY v2. Sadly they all have been/will shortly be replaced. Looking at Nike Impact in new cactus colorway and pair them with 2WXY v4.

[@TommyLiu4]

More than solid all of those! 👍👍

[@xbillysz]

Hey Tommy! I've seen some of your videos of the Fisssion 9, Son Of Flash and 808 3 Ultra, im thinking about getting 1 of those 3 shoes but im undecided, from the 3 shoes which one is the best?

Hey! What do you think about the GT cut academy? I was thinking to get those for outdoor courts. And how's the comfort as compared to the Puma's profoam?

I have the dame certified. I can attest. One of the best budget shoes indoor or outdoor. Slight issue on the heel lockdown. If you don't use all the lace holes your heel will slide out.

Can i ask which one has the best cushion for a bigger guy?

[@TommyLiu4]

TWO WXY V4

soldier 9s. built like a tank and only shoes I do not have to wear ankle braces with. Picked up 3 while I could. Now all are 250 and up in size 9.5/10s my oldest colorway the olive ones have had 500+ hours on them. Alhamdulillah. no issues

Hey, a quick question - which ones of the low-cut have the best cushioning, especially in the forefoot area? I‘m recovering from a metatarsalgia and I‘m still very ginger on my forefoot area.

Best outdoor shoes must be: 1) soft - if no, asphalt will kill your knees in 2 months 2) cheap - cause asphalt will kill them in 2 months anyway Thats all

[@jamstxr]

Hi Tommy. I suggest you put a list of the shoes you mentioned at the end of the video next time so it's easier for us to refer back. Nevertheless, great video! Btw do you prefer the cushion in fission 8 or 9?

[@TommyLiu4]

Hey. Got it thanks so much for the suggestion! Fission 9 I think has better cushion.

[@LongTran-qd1cm]

thanks i really need it right now. Much love tommy ❤

[@RafsVeryOwn]

Hi Tommy I had a long ass question lmao. So I'm looking for a shoe that mainly has these three: impact protection, bounce?(like a shank plate) and not too much off the ground like the jump 2.0. What would you recommend? I have these in mind: The regular anta shockwave 5, NB 2 wxy v4, Jordan 37 (i know lol), All city 12, GT cut 3 and ofcourse (wow10). Please let me know what you think! I really enjoy the all city 11 v1 (not as much bounce as i would like) and the anta shockwave 5 td v1 (very good bounce but not good impact protection)

[@RafsVeryOwn]

trying to gaslight myself for the jordan 37 cause the red RUI PE is sick!

[@TommyLiu4]

Hey. Try TWO WXY V4, it’s gonna be higher off the ground but not close to the GT Jump 2 type of elevation so you should be good. Great impact protection.

[@TommyLiu4]

Son of Flash is solid. All City 12 is amazing obviously but Son of Flash has been one of my favorites, good for outdoor use too - you can use it and see if you like it first, if you do the All City’s can be a potential upgrade for future considerations maybe?

[@jasonluo5129]

@@TommyLiu4 yeah I bought it just for outdoor use! I just bought sof since it was slightly cheaper than ac12s online and I thought it would be the most durable. I did like the colorways on ac12 better though

Just got cosmic unity 3 for literally dirt cheap. (I only play outdoors) Yes the cushion sucks. First few plays, my knees were killing me. My brother who's a sneaker head though, hooked me up with some Bron 11 full-length zoom drop-in midsoles. Since I have flat, wide feet and these have a wide footbed and not too much arch these already fit perfect. Now with the cushion these might just be the best outdoor hoop shoes I've ever worn. Stupid bouncy now and impact protection is god-tier.
