Top 10 Basketball Shoes of 2022

[@TommyLiu4]

Which shoes are in your top list this year?? 🏀 Have a safe & happy holidays!! ❤️

[@tristankhl.402]

PG 6 & LeBron 20!!

[@rickyocampo1798]

Same to you ser Tom 👍♥️🇵🇭

[@edsonrodriguez4475]

Lebron 20 , pg 6 or Luka 1

[@n9171]

If I were to buy hoop shoes I will get Lebron 20. It looks too clean

[@wahidahmad2577]

Zion 2

[@tatayben8955]

I had the PG 6 for a month already and it's the most comfortable shoe I've ever worn. Great performer also. Btw that PG6 Hotwheels are fire bro

[@TommyLiu4]

Yes I totally agree. Great comfort. Yeah love them but I should really stop buying more colorways 😂😂

[@rogermeyer860]

you haven't tried the Jordan 36's then. I returned my PG 6's in favor of a second pair of 36's:) 36's have better cushion and support.

The only ishue is the toe boxx . If they just fix it woul be much better

[@joshhutton9534]

Great list. I love seeing the Two Wxy v3 up that high. I hardly ever double up on a model, but I already have 3 pairs of those. New Balance knocked it out of the park with those.

Thank you!! Really appreciate it 🙏😃

[@CommunityContributor]

PG6 is probably the most comfortable shoes I have had - been hooping for 20+ years. The only complain I have is it bottoms out too fast (even if with other shoes in my rotation). Hopefully they keep the same recipe for next PG shoes but improve the midsole from bottoming out too fast. I bought multiple pairs of PG6 and paired it up with Move insole and it is very bouncy 🔥🔥

[@TommyLiu4]

Nice!! I certainly hope the PG line continues to do well too, but recently Paul George was mostly wearing Kobe’s. I just hope Nike doesn’t drop his signature line… 🥲

[@markylapointe]

[@rogermeyer860]

Great review Tommy! I tried the PG 6's but returned them in favor of the Jordan 36's which are my top pick. Superior support/lock down, court feel and cushion (full length zoom stobel) for my old knees. I'd like to try the Way of Wade's but no where local to try on even though their US headquarters are close to my home.

[@TommyLiu4]

Thank you!! Oh the 36 I really enjoyed hooping in them too. That’s true, maybe one day they’ll start hitting retails in North America, hopefully 😃

I like the Zion 2, and dame 8

[@k.w5804]

My friend asked me to try on his trae 2. Holy bananas, it felt almost like a workout having one foot all the way in the shoe. Then I realized shoot I gotta take it off.. In all honesty, it felt okay but putting them on and taking them off man you better be a saint to deal with that daily - pure tortune

[@k.w5804]

Also a little surprised gt cut 2 didn't make it, not even the honourable mentions. I was considering getting on not strictly for bball, but also for day-to-day commute, light running, even taking out the trash lol..

[@TommyLiu4]

Yes I agree. Also had a very hard time putting them on and taking them off… Performance is probably average to me, but just not a comfortable shoe overall unfortunately 😂

[@michaeldecena4261]

i got your top 1.2.4 & 6. hate the lebron tho hurt my feet in the middle of the game. i just use it on casual now as it looks dope 😄

[@glizzyjoshneutron9086]

in my personal opinion, traction is the most important part of a shoe for me, and i got the hot wheels pg6s and i couldn’t seem to like their traction no matter how hard i tried, everything else about it was great though

Thanks for the video, Tommy. I thought the LeBron 20’s would have been higher. I am thinking of getting a pair of Li-Ning’s. I wear a Nike 9.5. In your experience, should I get a 9.5 in Li-Ning as well? Thanks. Merry Christmas!

[@TommyLiu4]

Merry Christmas! 🎄 Li-Ning shoes I would mostly recommend going half a size up from your true size in Nike sneakers. It does depend on which specific shoe, but the recent ones like the WOW 10 & All City 10 I’d recommend going half a size up for the best fit.

[@jchung1506]

@@TommyLiu4 Thanks Tommy. I am surprised that you said that. When I went to the Li-Ning site, they said to measure your foot length. When I use that, I came up as an 8.5. That’s why I am hesitant to get Li-Ning shoes. If they do not fit, it’s a pain in the ass to exchange for a different size.
