It’s a bummer that they don’t use different last because a couple of Jordan’s I purchased overseas to play ball in fit me way better as a PF or EP. US releases are really narrow and painful to break in and I stop doing that to save my feet. FIGHT THE ALGORITHM!!!

[@wdgray]

I’m sure others have already pointed it out, but … it was cool to see the Complex Sneaker Show give you (Chris/Nightwing) a shout out on their show. Giving you props for your breakdown on the Book 1. They acknowledged that you’re the best at breaking down tech. Facts

[@paulwopsmartmouth]

Thx for the info on PF & EP, didn’t know that, very informative.

[@WillMason1313]

Love the Nike Book 1

[@muji198]

For the algorithm!! Love your contents Chris.

Great review! Hoping we get some of the other colorways that Book has worn soon!

[@snkrsandbeats]

Loving these Book1s and the content, keep it up 🙌

Book 1 Mirage V2 UK release uses clear rubber outsoles. Nice shoes and always love your videos.❤

[@MasterObiWanKenobi-db5ti]

Great info!

[@by_run]

Awesome review as always. Interesting shoe, will try to check them out if I see them instore.

[@jasonbridges4530]

Appreciate you guys. I use your reviews into factoring whether I buy a shoe

[@philiec137]

You guys are the reason I get excited for basketball shoes

[@gilbert2821]

book's shoe definitely has that old school vibe look wherein we can wear the shoe on court and off court. might get them on sale in the future.

[@dakidd6112]

Thanks for the info!!!!

[@ZJMM918]

Another great video!!

[@hfunwithsavannahansell4099]

I love watching you guys😁 Best shoe reviewers in the game!

[@danielcox3490]

Love the channel

[@user-rn7zc9lw4w]

Was not planning on getting this but the old school vibe & simple colorway hit me😍

[@IAmInfinitus208]

Seriously, though Chris, keep going doing these! I would love to see a review on the Voltage Purple Air Max Plus that got released a few weeks back. It's based on the 2018 release but based on one of the original sketches of the TNS.

[@ashgstar]

Another amazing video

[@jamespakdeepraprut2563]

Love the video!

[@JoshuaC923]

Good info👍🏻👍🏻

[@user-ug2uu3hg2j]

Great review true honesty opinion .

[@arianrivers757]

Dope video!!!!

[@elliotwilliams413]

Just got my clear sole ones and love them. They look even better in hand!

[@dcrijo]

Great review as usual..Both colors will match well with a Yankee fitted. My bday is May, so I'm gonna have to add these to my wish list for wifey 😅😎

[@neilferris3865]

Love the show

[@colehomovich5367]

I’ve only had one translucent outsold shoe. The KD 9 elite. Traction amazing for 5 steps. Ever since then I haven’t had a translucent outsole shoe.

[@thelinktrap5945]

I think you're correct in thinking EP means Engineered Performance. Here in the Philippines, some of the Nike performance shoes have that in their boxes upon purchasing them when you check for yourself.

[@booogggie]

For the damn algorithm! Thanks for putting me onto Move insoles. Game changer!

[@mylesgalos1679]

Thanks for the info, prefer the xdrs outsoles

[@peterbjorn2774]

As always - precised video

[@jstar_the_poet]

Really informative review! ID4Shoes is definitely the real deal, and I, too, prefer the solid rubber.

[@macayetano]

Thank you to you for your recommendation a while ago, I have been a regular customer of ID4 shoes. Purchased my Air Jordan 36's PF models and Air Joran 38's PF models from them with no issues whatsoever. Great communication, good prices, GREAT items, and FAST shipping even being overseas. Hell, ID4shoes shipping has even been FASTER than Nike's shipping in a few instances.

[@jdmendez21]

Bummed about the change to the lasts - I was hoping to get a slightly wider fit on my Book 1s - but I’m still planning to grab another pair in a different color. Thanks Nightwing!

[@megalodonjay1308]

We got your back bro!

[@JulioMarston]

i like this colorway of the book 1 specially for a casual wearr

[@alananglo1627]

The shoe looks really good and you know Chris here in the Philippines XDR are more reasonable to buy price wise. Also durability, thanks for the info

[@My2boyzjj]

Reviews are the best in the game 🔥

[@user-oc5wc4up1r]

Great Review as always, Chris. For the Algo!

[@troykindle4539]

Go Wear Teasters!!!

[@Kwamikaze88]

For the algorithm! Haha. Honestly I like the solid outsole on this color. It feels like it matches the vision of it being a shoe that can be worn on and off the court. Maybe that's the route I'll go once I can try a pair and know my correct size.

[@DanielEndres-cu3tt]

For the algorithm! Love you guys!

[@manicmike3952]

Clear soles gang here!.. 😝 Decent shoes but I’ll wait for them to hit the clearance rack!!. Thanks for the vid.

[@CT37BN]

I really like the old school uncluttered back to basics style of this sneakers but will be waiting for more colourways before getting a pair. It's very Nike Air Ship in it's simplicity which is it's most endearing design feature. Another top tip info there Chris about clear outsoles. I heard about the tight squeeze sizing so am going to try these in-store for sure. I might get a ton of horse🐎shoe marks on my ankles from kicking but they're easier to get rid off than one huge mighty duck🦆

[@johnyjohnyyespapa3104]

Thx. I need this info. Book 1 blue looks noice

[@greendro6410]

Nice video 👍

[@JV-rl3kl]

top tier vid as always

[@bran.taylor25]

Love the review. I’m still on the fence with the shoe, but I will take functionality over looks.

[@LAdams-sb1hf]

These look great🔥I would have tried them out if they had forefoot zoom. Also would buy it if it came in a mid/high.

[@VinCode17]

Appreciate the sneaker knowledge 💪 algorithm🚀

[@KillenEMsoftly]

great vid , need a pair

[@AforAlex95]

Gotta be my favorite sneaker channel on YT

[@dookieshoes619]

I just got these delivered today! Smooth nubuck, grippy, comfy and just a nice combo of old and new (no XDR). I love em and hoping they drop another dope colorway. Oh, and bring on all the lil ponies. I'll be selling glue in no time.

[@Gfavvid]

Love ❤the 33’s. Still buying those to this day.!

[@BP8rson]

This rare colourway has me tempted to get a pair of Book 1 for casual wear as well.

[@elvintan3440]

Love the design, should get one soon 💸

[@lukehasdoritos6541]

YEURRR I want the books but I wish I could find em on sale. Gonna have to wait a bit and see

[@BobbyObado]

I love this colourway of the Book 1.

[@tcal0511]

Cool hoodie😎

[@robbass4367]

Book 1 is 🔥. Thanks for the review you 2

[@agam212mh]

I had the grey one.... And I Love It

[@kwelitysoul]

Played in these and 🤌🏽. So comfortable out the box.

[@shanecall4449]

Love the look of the silhouette but waiting on a better colorway. But the pair reviewed are a decent blue

[@ricoskicks8043]

Full size up and using them for hooping and it was a great choice

[@joserod05]

Oh my, those look nice 😱

[@starscream2]

solid traction for the win!

[@beejuggs8254]

If you ever feel like doing a nostalgia throwback review of something from your collection that you haven't made a video for, we are here for it. Would love to see some deep dives of what you got man.

[@eddie3600]

that algo... so silly, 🔥video like usual

[@joeychan9582]

I love clear outsole and will keep on buying them

[@lovingthesauce]

For a shoe that looks like an AF1, solid outsoles complements the design a lot better
