Way Of Wade Fission 9 Performance Review From The Inside Out

[@FootDoctorZach]

Buy the Way Of Wade Fission 9 HERE: geni.us/wayofwade

[@eazyplayer777]

Hello,I really like your videos and I need your help in deciding what shoe to buy. I ordered adidas adizero select and li ning fission 9. I wonder which will be better for me? I am 190cm 100kg guard-small forward and I always had a problem with twisting my ankles,so I need a good protection shoe and also with good cushion. Which one of these shoes suits me best?

We Appreciate all that you do doc. Im now on my 6th pair of li nings (and an anta gh3 you recommended in a comments response)since i discovered your channel in late 2021. Your reviews helped me save so much and enjoy bball more!

[@davidallender9158]

My 12 year old son has the 8’s and loves them. He is looking at these as well. I was waiting on this review to come out! Thank you Zach!!

[@nesto7758]

Hey Zach! Given the wide range of sports for which you tests shoes, would you consider making some cut-in-half videos for Asics volleyball shoes, even if only their top-tier models (Sky Elite, Blast FF, Netburner)? There's not much to see anywhere that's not paid review, and considering the praise their tennis and bball (where available) shoes get, it would be great to see how their vball shoes perform in comparison. Understandably you might not have the expertise to do volleyball performance review, but the models I mentioned are sometimes used by pickleball/squash players as well. Also, how would you compare Asics' Flytefoam and FF Propel with similar foams from other brands with regards to durability (how long till they bottom out)? Appreciate your work and wish you all the best in the new year!

[@hardikreddy7093]

Man i absolutely love this shoe, it looks amazing and performs even better. I'm dying to cop a pair of these. Hopefully i can hint around with my fam cuz my bdays coming up in feb

[@hardikreddy7093]

@adamkanizsai2990 I meant it performs better than it looks

[@IMac1812]

Best reviewer on KZbin, appreciate you!!

[@Dimac.Michael]

Because of grading system between Fission 9 and All City 12, i have decided now to buy. I would choose AC12 ❤

[@E7Gat0]

Thank you for youre videos! Bought the dame 8 (old model) after I saw all of you're videos and they are exactly as you said, one of the best shoes I ever had. 👍

[@_Megadeus]

I just got the 8s not too long ago. The 3/4 Boom additional makes my knees happy.

[@thomasward5977]

do you base the size solely off their length chart? I find my size (UK) is very different to what they claim it should be

[@_Megadeus]

@thomasward5977 There are sizing charts for US and UK for fit. I am a 2E or wide foot. I pay close attention to the sizing suggestions when he speaks on the fit of the shoe for different foot types.

[@thomasward5977]

@@_Megadeus thank you, it’s just odd cause the foot length it reckons I should be is different to watch to actually is for my UK size. Would you go for the size based on foot length or my actual UK size?

[@_Megadeus]

I use the length and width of my foot above anything

[@abstrakk1021]

Looks drastically different from the Fission 8s. I have the Latte and Moment colorways and I love playing in those. The 8s look more streamlined while these look chunkier. But I might get these as well if they grow on me.

[@ikwhite]

Thank you so much! I’m so curious about the new 808 3s that came out, the ones with the ankle support built in. Reminds me of Kobe 9 elites! That would be a video that could blow up. Kobe 9 elites are like $500 and these seem… well… better (boom foam, carbon fiber, etc..)

[@ikwhite]

@winemaplesyrupcoconutsugar yup! But when I commented on this he hadn’t yet made the video…

[@michaelp9061]

big fan of wow. Another awesome review right here. Thanks Zach.

[@NastyNickerbacker]

Literally just bought this shoe last night! I only found one review on KZbin of the shoe, but yours just reassured me on my purchase! I have a wide foot and have a hard time finding a pair that fits right, but I’m really excited for this pair! I was curious do you think the wrong shoes can attribute to lower back pain when playing? I get that frequently after playing! Great review as always!

[@jbalote19]

I would suggest when you get a chance to try way of wade with full length boom. You need more cushion. 😊

[@NastyNickerbacker]

@@jbalote19 thanks for the advice!!

[@NastyNickerbacker]

@winemaplesyrupcoconutsugar the shoes have been working great for me! I’ve struggled finding good bball shoes for wide feet, but he’s right these fit pretty true to size! I haven’t had the back pain like I did before when I would hoop! My previous shoe was very flat and I think the extra cushion has made a world of a difference! Other than me forgetting that I shouldn’t tighten the shoelaces so tight around the tongue and upper part when I break them in, they’ve been really nice to play in! Thanks for the advice too!

[@16may2005]

​@@NastyNickerbackerso Fission 9 fits your wide feet well? What other shoes work well for you?

Since he just recently started wearing them, I saw Jokic wearing a new 361 pair called the Big3 Future High and would love to see what you think of them!

[@philamguambomb]

As always awesome reviews and thank you so much. I love the Fission 8. Super grippy. I play a lot of Pickleball on outdoor courts only. 2-4hrs a day 5-6 days a week. I wore out the soles in 28 days. I'm a speed guy, I don't slide. I love em so much and wore em out that I had to carve(with blade) my own tread to keep using them hahaha. Even with my own generic cut out tread it is more grippy than my All City 11. I'm currently using the All City 11 v1. I'm not all impressed with the grip. There is no initial bite when taking off unlike the Fission 8. Squeaking the F8 is effortless. City 11 you have to try hard to squeak them. I believe the City 11 sole are made out of different material. I will go back to Fission 8 when I wear out these City 11. My question is: Is this new Fission 9 grippy like the Fission 8? Is the sole material same?

[@wickedhate2006]

heyy Zach I love the review im torn between this fission 9 and the Li ning speed 10s Hope you could do a review on thoseee Please

[@elijahjordan393]

Hey Zach! I would love to know more about your perspective on the serious player only player 1 plus. I am interested in getting a drop in midsole shoe for quickness and traction. These shoes are being sold with 2 different sets of midsoles (power, quick) and they also sell a support and explosive midsole. I’ve had ankle sprains in the past and I want to be sure before I pull the trigger on a $180 (plus possibly $44 for the extra support midsole). there isn’t a lot of content on the specific insoles and how they perform but I’ve seen extremely good general reviews on the shoe. Everyone says they are like a Kobe 9 you can customize and buy new insoles for as they wear out. If this is true it could be the shoe to end all shoes haha. Love your content and look forward to the next video!

[@elijahjordan393]

Some of the big improvements they made from feedback of player 1 was outsole durability, containment, and stability.

[@ziggyai]

Hey Zach, as a foot doctor would you evaluate issues of pronation in sneakers? As I know MOST Lining shoes cause overpronation (especially if you have low arches), because pronation is never considered in their product QC, unlike Nike. Prevention of ankle twist is one major reason why they design their products this way....(well it's harder to twist your ankle if your feet overpronate), but they are just going too far

[@marcjosharquitola886]

Interms of loudness in outdoor, this of fission 8?

[@LuZu_]

would you say that a player's ability to pronate effectively would give them more of an edge with 9 rather than 8 (as they wouldn't have to worry as much about rolling their ankle laterally)?

hey Zach, I got an interesting question for you. I'm a tennis player who always choses Nike because when seeing your reviews, I joy discovering the air zoom units. I understand how those would possibly create extra spring for you, but I here all these players talking about how other companies are great to, but I don't see it. Do other companies give the spring affect in the way air zoom does, if so what?

Seems like the 9 has good cushion but not much bounce. Guess it depends on if you’re playing above the rim or if you’re more down to earth. I wear the 8s and they’re hella bouncy

[@danielponce1728]

How would you or anyone here compare Fission 9 to 808 3? same price from WOW going to go with 1 of them

[@adams.gestwicki5292]

Don't buy these if you can't get your exact size. I've noticed the WOW shoes are wide, and I'm an 11.5 and opted to get a 12. These shoes are extremely stiff and have no play, which means if you're foot doesn't fit properly in the shoe, your foot is going to take some abuse and feel the rigidity and structure of the shoe on cuts and stops when it slides. Even tying the shoes didn't really alleviate that with an orthotic. I wish I'd have known this as it's a pain to ship these back to China and pay for the handling. I got the All City 11's and going a .5 size up with an orthotic was fine since that shoes has a bit more play and will contour more to the foot if it's tightened down. I wish Li-ling made more half sizes. This is definitely the last time I'll be buying a pair of them unless they start making 11.5's.

I was thinking of getting a pair of Chinese basketball shoes, and I decided to get the Aaron Gordon's AG4... until I found about the SOAR (the premium version) which has a really different build, but has a higher top and I couldn't find A SINGLE ENGLISH REVIEW for the shoe. It looked like a lot of people liked the AG4 so I thought a review on the SOAR would he a great idea, and it's only $40 more so it might be a good deal. If anyone tried them or knows something about them pls tell me, and between AG4 and Son of Flash, which one is a better idea?

[@isaaccouch6238]

I’ve only had son of flash but son of flash is very very good

[@Andre72495]

You should buy AG4 lux or AG4 regular. The Soar have many disadvantages about weight and stability because 361 is not good at making shoes which have Drop-in Midsole, their foam need some change to make drop in midsole shoes like Kobe or Wade 808
