MB.02

[@ivanmitevski9375]

Puma Court Rider 2.0

curry hovr splash 2, they’re the main shoes i use and i find them so comfortable

[@thatguy3445]

Two Wxy V3

[@swish469]

Great video! The Puma disc rebirth has been great so far, pretty underrated as nobody really has reviewed them.

[@TommyLiu4]

Thank you! Nice I was wondering how those are, almost bought a pair at one point I guess I missed out 😂

[@jchung1506]

I love hooping in my Puma TRC Blaze Courts. Comfortable and lots of impact protection.

[@TommyLiu4]

👍👍

[@junelchristianetarrayo9958]

I got a UA LOCKDOWN 6 below srp. And yes they are widefeet friendly.. Thanks for your video because I used your video for me to get a reference on what is the best shoes that will fit on my needs. 💗💗

[@TommyLiu4]

Nice! Glad I could help a bit 😃👍

[@ivangolovach6203]

shall i get them half size up cuz because of my wide feet

[@GreekSneakCollector]

I wish Li Ning and Peak were widely available in Europe!

[@timshammm]

And in Canada!

[@jes3846]

Are the dvd 1s nice? I cant decide between the impact 4s and the dvd 1s

[@Mostafa_shendy]

what better dame certified or ua lockdown 6

[@nana-yaw8117]

hello tommy! i love your videos. which would you suggest between the air max impact 4 and the lockdown 6? keep up the great work!

[@TommyLiu4]

Hey, thank you!! Both great, but if I have to pick one Lockdown 6.

[@jaepae]

All these shoes lookin dapper thx for the amazing vid again 👌

[@TommyLiu4]

Thank you!! 🙏

[@jrunner7815]

Hey, sorry I ask so much, but for the PUMA MB.01 LOW, many reviews say the traction suck (and I did see your review on it, but making sure) do you think the rubber would work for outdoors?

[@TommyLiu4]

It’s okay I’m happy to discuss anytime. Again traction performed really well for me indoors, but I’ve stayed away from using them outdoors because of dust pick up. That’s my experience. Like if you’re thinking about a shoe strictly for outdoor use, I don’t wanna make assumptions and call it bad. But there are probably much better options, like the Trae Young 1, 808 2, Court Rider’s, Dame’s & Harden’s, etc. The MB.01 itself is a really good shoe, but you’re thinking about outdoor use I might not be of much help here since I kept them for indoors.

[@jrunner7815]

Thank you! And how about the Luka 1s?

[@fycfyc1]

@@jrunner7815 I bought Luka 1s for tennis because I prefer how bball shoes feel vs tennis, the outsole did not last at all on hardcourt... played less than 10 times and the ball of foot pivot point area is already almost bald.

[@jrunner7815]

I’m trying to find a good shoe to buy, between the MB.01 (mid and low) and MB.02, I play mostly outdoors, and I’m fine with them not being the most durable. Any ideas?

[@TommyLiu4]

They’re very similar. I’d take the MB.01, but please don’t pay resell prices for them lol so MB.02 is just as good if you can’t find a good deal on the MB.01.

[@jecobarcelona6575]

Got my Impact 4 today because of Tommy.

[@TommyLiu4]

👍👍 Nice, lemme know what you think!

What should i choose for outdoor need something durable help me out 1.zoom freak 4 2.kyrie 8 infinity 3.puma court rider 2.0 4.mb 0.2 5.harden step back 3

[@TommyLiu4]

Harden Stepback 3

[@σιρ-θ3κ]

@@TommyLiu4 thanks man🔥

[@henryguevarrajr.6213]

Hi Tommy! Among these 5 what has the best traction? I usually play with dusty rubberized court.

[@TommyLiu4]

Hey. Dame Certified if I have to pick one. But all of these have excellent traction from my experience actually.

[@eduardoramiro5362]

Peak Flash 2 is definitely underated in my opinion

[@TommyLiu4]

👍 I gotta try more Peak shoes!

[@erestain17]

can you rank these 5 shoes in terms of best in impact protection / cushion? Will be a big help! 💪❤️ I'm on a heavier big forward player, and needing it for outdoor use

[@TommyLiu4]

In that case I would strongly recommend the Lockdown 6. If we’re talking cushioning and impact protection alone Dame Certified may the best one here. But all 5 of these have durable outsoles for outdoor use so they’re good to go. Also it depends on your foot shape but the most wide foot friendly shoe here is also the Lockdown 6 so they’ll be my no.1 recommendation.

[@erestain17]

@@TommyLiu4 really appreciate your input! Looking forward for more reviews! 🫡

[@ayk1887]

i rlly like the asics basketball shoes, they rlly different style compared to other brands u shld make more videos abt them i think ppl will rlly enjoy asics if they had better access to it so wld be good to create more awareness

[@TommyLiu4]

👌👍

[@lryxz_-od8bj]

For outdoor use which one is better, dame certified or pg 6?

[@TommyLiu4]

Just purely as an outdoor shoe: Dame Certified, but obviously PG 6 is still my pick for the best shoe last year overall.

[@safiyosri7619]

What about lockdown 6 size ? My size is 13 normal feet Should i get 14 ? I am center

True to size

Any chance of trying Bruce Lee Ultra Wade 808

[@mteca5093]

What's weight of lockdown6? NB coco tennis/basketball shoes are a MUST try

[@TommyLiu4]

For size 10.5 it’s exactly 400g per shoe. Pretty light.

[@jrunner7815]

Hey, so tons of people have said the MB.01 is better than the MB.02 Any reasons on why they are?

do you think is better the lockdown 6 or the spawn 4 ? thanks

[@TommyLiu4]

Lockdown 6

[@Ospinaeco]

@@TommyLiu4 thanks, do you prefer the lockdown 6 or curry 3z6 or jet 21 ? I have a discount in under Armour so i want to buy a pair. i play mayorly outdoor. 185 CM AND 85 Kg. The lockdown are cheapest. 65 usd. What you recommend me ? Thanks.

[@TommyLiu4]

@@Ospinaeco I see, I’d go for the Lockdown 6. Curry 3Z6 is great too but I feel like given your build, Lockdown 6 will be a fantastic option, amazing comfort while being super affordable. I just got a pair of the Jet 21 in and they’re honestly not bad either, so no bad choice here really 😃

[@traceahuna6508]

Can you review the all city 11?

[@TommyLiu4]

Yup video coming up 😃

[@Mcali1984]

I’d say the Cosmic Unity 2 is underrated. Such an amazing all around show. I think it’s just the looks that get people. Phenomenal shoes imo. 🍻 to a great video.

[@davidl17_]

may i know the weight of Nova Surge low of your size?

[@TommyLiu4]

420g for size 10.5 😃

[@neerajshrestha5379]

How would you compare the luka 1 to the two wxy v3?

[@TommyLiu4]

TWO WXY V3 is better mainly because of much better cushioning and comfort level. Both have amazing traction.

I LIKE TO PLAY sometimes are my JORDAN 6 E GREENs

[@aayushvardhan5945]

wade 808. somehow they still haven't caught on to the masses.

[@samlee458]

my favorite from the list is PG6. looks nice and affordable. very underrated but always sells out LOL. i’m looking forward to the Adidas basketball lineup. they look good imo.

[@Crazy-shots100]

What shoes would you recommend for wide feet

[@TommyLiu4]

Court Rider 2.0, Trae Young 1, Wade 808 2, Harden Vol. 6, Dame 8

[@TommyLiu4]

And also the Lockdown 6

[@Crazy-shots100]

@@TommyLiu4 What shoe would you pick out of all these?

[@TommyLiu4]

@@Crazy-shots100 Probably Harden’s for best overall performance or Lockdown 6 for amazing value.

Nice! Great value for the price to me.

[@lukatrooper5074]

rank these in order. Lebron 20, Nike air max impact 4, lebron witness 7, UA spawn 5. Also when are you going to review the Ja 1s

[@TommyLiu4]

LeBron 20, Air Max Impact 4, Spawn 5, Witness 7. Not sure yet

[@lukatrooper5074]

@@TommyLiu4 thank you. Could you also please put these in order UA lockdown 6, Air max impact 4, Dame certified, New balance V3, Jordan 37 Low, Peak AW 1, Puma triple and court rider V2. Also is the lebron 20 with the leathery material have really bad breathability and gets hot or they are fine. Thanks

[@jasonacayen2462]

why wade ice blood v2 is not in the list?

[@TommyLiu4]

Oh thanks for pointing that out! I thought I talked about them quite a few times already as one of my favorites. Love them but subjectively speaking probably not as good as these ones.

[@SoleDuletz]

Brandblack rare metal 2

[@Cashmoneez]

mb 02 for sure I like it more than the mb 01 tbh

[@TommyLiu4]

👍

[@jchen174]

It should be cheaper to get asics if you use shipping service that is in Japan instead of shipping to China first. Stores like Gallery 2 sells a wide range with overseas shipping. I got my Unpre Ars from them

[@TommyLiu4]

Imma try that instead next time. Thank you!!

[@mattleonard7853]

How do you like the Unpres's tho?

[@jchen174]

@mattleonard7853 Unpre Ars are great. Good court feel and grips well. It is durable For outdoor play too. The mid section has an extra block? That helps to prevent your ankle from rolling over.

[@R436-v4u]

I wanna cop the nova surge tho

[@TommyLiu4]

Amazing shoe

[@ZOOSH]

i own the lockdown 6's and to be honest, their not underrated imo, personally i love tech loaded sneakers like the Jordan 37s so this might just be what i like, but my main concern was just the cushioning, its not horrible just ok, for this price point the nike precision 6 look and feel better imo. But by no means are they a bad shoe, i just think that this price range is too competive for the lockdown 6s to be "underrated".

[@giannanataliacherishdelacr1453]

Good day sir,i love it,GOD BLESS sir🙏

[@RoseProds]

Why not 5 has actually a decent traction if ur court is not dusty.And soo comfy and breathablw

[@JoshHOPS]

ASICS are nearly impossible to get..very annoying

[@shsfootball628]

Also, I might be definitely upsetting some folks but I can’t help but see the air max impact 4 looks like a incredibly INCREDIBLY budget version of the Kobe 5. I know that sounds wild but that’s just me 💁🏻‍♂️💁🏻‍♂️🤷🏻‍♂️🤷🏻‍♂️
