What were your favorite budget shoes from the past year??

[@camdonnorris4718]

Obviously the Kobe grinches coming in at a low 1165$

[@sharpshooteryoung4713]

Mine are Dame certified and harden stepback. Kyrie low 5 and don issue 4 are good to.

[@supersolo6]

Court Rider 2's

[@kevincomia7364]

i got the jordan Zion 2 XDR . and its really cool. tech, durabily AND the classic 90’s hoop shoes looks that i can rock casually even with pants.

[@jiaw5308]

kyrie fly trap 2 and 3

[@helixzenith]

Really recommend any Kyrie shoes. They retail way above 100 but literally every single one is half off because Nike is trying to get rid of their inventory since they dropped him. I got The Kyrie Infinity (Kyrie 8) for 69 when they supposed to retail at $140.

So glad to have Dame Certified! Traction is top tier 🔥

What about the ankle support

[@kevle0405]

@@strapped6700 ankle support is decent, first time i played in them, felt like my ankle was a bit exposed and didn't feel like as i comfortable as i would like but i tie my shoes pretty tight so it didn't feel like i would get injured or anything, i don't really notice while im playing tbh, its a great shoe

[@KapSoda]

man i use kyrie flytrap 6 as my casual shoe xD

[@tombomb4010]

Hey Tommy, love your videos keep doing your thing bro. In your opinion what is the better-performing pair? Nike Airmax impact 4 or Harden step back 3?

[@TommyLiu4]

Hey, thanks bro!! Ah that’s a really tough one, super close. I’d say Harden Stepback 3 just because it’s very durable for outdoor use too. The Air Max Impact 4’s air unit is positioned lower than the previous version, so there are higher chances of it popping. But if for indoors only they’re really the same level of performance.

[@Henri688]

I got the witness 7 for Christmas 🎉

[@TommyLiu4]

Air Max Impact 4

[@neiljohnnery4593]

anyone here plays with nike airmax 4?? how you grade the traction?? thanks

[@vittoriomariano35]

Hi Tommy! Which would you consider better for a shooting guard in terms of overall performance (not only price but everything else as well) between these 2, jordan one take 4s or precision 6? Keep up the good work!

[@TommyLiu4]

Hi! Thank you! That’s very very close but I would still take the Precision 6, for the better transition from front to back with the curve shape I guess.

[@giannanataliacherishdelacr1453]

[@szilardbenedek4841]

Is there much difference between the same certified and dame 8? I can get the dame 8’s for $20 more than the certified

[@TommyLiu4]

The Dame 8 is even better in cushioning, compression and bounciness from my experience. Traction was better on the Dame Certified. So it probably depends on what’s more important to you, if it’s a $20 difference I personally would have taken the Dame 8. 😃

[@dipper5835]

does dame certified picks dust at indoor court and does it have a good ventilation

Hi. The Air Max Impact 4 is a better shoe. I did have a brief explanation in this video, basically just better cushioning and compression. But both great values for their prices.

[@gaohanhu5125]

Hi Tommy, I'm looking for a budget shoes, especially for outdoor, that have a good traction and it' s comfortable on feet. I'm undecided between Precision 6s and Stepback 3s, what do you recommend? Or if you have a better option let me know please.

[@TommyLiu4]

Hi, the Harden Stepback 3 is a better shoe. Very durable for outdoor use and amazing traction. I do wanna bring up the UA Lockdown 6 which I just posted a video about, those are probably my no.1 budget shoe right now. Everything is great on them but it has mostly a leather upper so maybe some people don’t like that as much. But honestly at this price range these are all really good options 😃
