Can you do other shoe reviews like old bball shoes as hyperdunk and hyperrev

[@Cashmoneez]

mostly wear low tops but a lot of kyrie mids were some of my favorites shoes to hoop in ever

[@ralph7569]

waiting for this, needed a midcut shoe. but when will you review spo game 1?

[@TommyLiu4]

I’ll see what I can do, maybe it’s about time 😁🙏

[@zense7721]

hey tommy i saw from your ig that you already have the yushuai 17s, hopefully i am correct at guessing the outsole😂, and just thanks man, from a fan, to you hearing out our requests, just means a lot, stay a legend bro!

[@TommyLiu4]

Hey, yes I got the Yushuai 17 Low. My pleasure man, will always try my best - and they’re feeling good so far! Thank u🙏🙏

[@juuhai]

@@TommyLiu4 Would love to see Yushuai 17 low review!

[@baller4378]

thoes nb's look hella good would definitely rock them off court

[@ty1erngy]

Hey Tommy. Thank you for pumping out content so consistently for us! I am a short PG standing at 5'9, which shoes would be better performance-wise: Lebron 20s or Way of Wade All City 11 V2?

[@TommyLiu4]

Hey - appreciate you watching!! I would say the LeBron 20.

[@ty1erngy]

@@TommyLiu4 No problem! Your videos are exactly what I look for when finding reviews of shoes. I purchased the Lebron 20s and have been using them for a week now, amazing shoe. Traction stood out to me the most. Pretty good stability, bounce, and comfortability. Thank you once again for your opinion. 😊

[@Chef_Benny11]

Love your vids Tommy Can you review the new damn certified 2.0 plz

[@TommyLiu4]

Thank you! Yes will do.

[@Chef_Benny11]

Also which is better for outdoors dame certified or harden stepback 3

[@n9171]

Still rocking KD14. I only play once a week :) I just got the Adizero Select for $50 after tax. Excited to try it on!

[@TommyLiu4]

👍👍 nice

[@miklo4046]

Where did you find them for that cheap?

Review the li Ning liren 4 thank you

[@mania3223]

Hey, Tommy! Always loving your videos! By the way, if you have tried the zoom freak 1s, what shoe is the most similar to the freak 1s? I like the tight fit, high arch, and supportive upper of the freak1s.

[@TommyLiu4]

Hey thank you! Yeah I have multiple pairs, really liked the Zoom Freak 1 too. My answer to that would be the Sabrina 1. 😃

[@mania3223]

@@TommyLiu4 Thank you for the super fast answer! But the sabrina 1 is out of stock in my country… so are there any other suggestions? Please tell me as many as you can! I’ll find your suggestions from your reviews and select my next shoe!

[@TommyLiu4]

@@mania3223 Converse BB Trilliant. That’s about it there’s not that many as of the current releases.

[@YodaSwerving]

Which you like better TWY V4 or nova surge low

[@ohhmetro6128]

Hey Tommy! Will you be doing a NB Hesi review soon? Looking to cop in Aus

[@TommyLiu4]

Hey, yes 😃

[@jums815]

I would go for lows :)

[@basketball_is_everything]

we need the shoes with the best impact protection video

[@darwinmoresco7724]

Even if I'm a big guy, 6 foot 1 with 200 pounds body mass, I used to wear low tops. Of course, I prefer cushion, for my aging knees and feet.

[@David-1216]

Did the top of the mid foot on the trae young 2 ever break in for you? I found the pink color way for a deep sale in my usual 10.5, but I got a high arch and can definitely feel it

[@TommyLiu4]

Nope, it simply didn’t work for me tbh. That doesn’t really break in or go away especially if you have high volume feet.

[@wiktor3453]

Do you plan on reviewing the yushuai 17? I can get it for the same price as the fission 8 where I live and it has full length boom.

[@TommyLiu4]

Yes will do, so far so good!

[@mteca5093]

Best for outdoors?

[@user-xv9do1my8m]

Ican't get that adidas Bounce Legends blue colorway in my country😭😭

[@heat_collector8698]

i don’t understand y all of these brands have to make a “low” of every shoe… like can’t they just make one model and stick to it

[@jamesbyrne7814]

Hey Tommy, found your channel a while ago whilst looking new shoes you help a lot and love how you mention dusty court traction as well. I just wanted to ask as a power forward for my team who mostly plays on dusty courts what do you think I should buy the NB two WXY V4 for £120 or the Way of wade 10s for £225 or would you recommend a different shoe?

[@jamesbyrne7814]

Or I saw LeBron 21s for £185

[@TommyLiu4]

Hey. Both are those are amazing options so it really depends on your budget. And I would have those two over the LeBron 21.

[@jamesbyrne7814]

@@TommyLiu4 oh right thanks for the fast reply I’ll probably go for the NBs as they’re much cheaper

[@TommyLiu4]

@@jamesbyrne7814 👍👍

[@AstronautToilet]

Hi Tommy, how tall are you?

[@danmozy]

How did you get the fresh foam sea salt colourway in Canada? Looks like retailers aren’t allowed to ship here

[@TommyLiu4]

My pair was sent to me by NB. Yeah I’m not sure if that colorway will eventually hit retail here in Canada 🥲

[@respepper6249]

Hey TommyLiu4, do you think harden vol.7 is great for daily use on outdoors? And also I am size 11 in Nike, and I bought a size 11.5 harden vol 7, and I have wide feet, will it fit great? I got it on 50% sale.

[@TommyLiu4]

Hey! Nice that’s a great deal. And yeah should be good, the outsole is durable enough for outdoor use.

[@respepper6249]

@@TommyLiu4 Thanks for replying Tommy! 👌🤎

[@jubyloo2]

Ok so Im still looking for a replacement for my mid-top KD14s. Similar cushion but with better traction. Can any of these shoes compete or better than KD14s?

[@TommyLiu4]

TWO WXY V4

[@jubyloo2]

I finally tried the Two WXY V3 and V4s. The traction is way better on V3 with suction cup design but the cushion is way better on V4s especially heel area. Also the arch support is higher on V4s so not comfy for flat footers like myself. V3 with better cushion would have been ideal. Overall for my feet these sadly arent better than my KD14s.

[@Samithe18]

I watched your review so it may not consider a mid top, but how about LeBron nxxt gen?

[@TommyLiu4]

Yeah more of a low top to me - good shoe, around the same level of performance as the Fresh Foam BB and Bounce Legend to me.

[@kerem3901]

Wade 808 3 regular or new balance two wxy v3/v4?

[@matthewantoinetomas849]

is the kd 16 a low top?

[@TommyLiu4]

I would consider it closer to a low top yes

[@dunsdonjone1537]

Is the D.O.N. Issue #5 considered a low-top or a mid top? Also BOOO @ adi for releasing them so damn late in Canada. Very bad/sad :(

[@TommyLiu4]

Yeah it’s unfortunate 🥲 Umm mid-low, more of a mid top I think? But not sure I haven’t seen a pair in person yet.

[@_Sknightvn_]

KD 13 or KD 14 ?
