TRUTH!

[@hoopssneakers9748]

First of all, I've been very open with Chris & Weartesters that I've learned such a huge amount from him and from the website/channel. Secondly, I would be curious for you to check out my performance reviews and see what you think about my opinions. I don't have the highest production quality or the most editing, but hopefully my information is good and thoughts are valuable. I just recently reviewed the Li-Ning Sonic VIII Team if you wanted to check that out.

Once i put these on my feet i instantly knew i am buying them. Cannot even describe how comfy they feel and i still haven't played with them outdoors or indoors(apparent) so i cannot wait to test them out properly. Now i see this video and i know i haven't made a mistake. :')

Glad to hear that the All Pro is your performance pick of the year. You convinced me to get its predecessor in the Puma Clyde Hardwood and I LOVED that shoe besides the cushion. It was good but all it was missing to be an A++ shoe would’ve been a little bit of bounce in the foam. The fact that the All pro has that makes me wanna go out and cop two

After 2 years I was able to see it in store of Puma here in the Philippines. Earlier while I am checking different stores in the mall, I was about to go home when I saw the Puma store and I thought why not take a look as well and maybe they already have their hoop shoe. And yes they did! I was able to purchase Puma Clyde All Pro, the black and pink colorway and the best thing is they are on a 30% discount. I am so happy that I was able to buy it specially after watching this review because you told that it is a better version of the kobe 9. Kobe 8 and kobe 9 are the shoes back in the day that I really want to have a pair but I am still a student that time so I was not able to try it. Now that I am already working, I am now able to save and buy a hoop shoe that's really a good looking and great performer in the court. Btw, in the store they also have the color way for lakers and celtics with the 30% discount as well here in Festival Mall Alabang.

Got a pair of the Puma All Pros for Christmas (been wanting the Hardcourts but was waiting for a sale). Haven’t hooped in them yet, but they’re incredibly comfortable and require no break in time. Lightweight. Cushion is amazing. Solid court feel. Can tell they have great traction, just can’t wait to use them on a real court.

Man I knew right away to come to your channel when I was lost and didn’t know what shoe to buy after seeing the CRAZY price of Kobe’s now..... I love Kobe’s but can’t drop 300-500 and I had no idea what shoe to switch too now that my last pair gave out. I can’t even tell you how fucking pumped I am that you confirmed these are super similar to the 9s! Just copped the white/black/pink pair on sale. Appreciate you making these vids so we don’t waste our money on trash shoes 🙏

[@ChrisbeFoSerious]

Current rotation: - Harden Vol. 4, Pink Lemonade (originally outdoor, have destroyed them outdoors, and bought another pair {Ima be a Star colorway} for when courts open up). - Harden Vol. 1 (indoor & outdoor) - Puma All-Pros - LeBron 15 Low - DON Issue #1, Symbiote (least favorite, bad indoor traction and kill my feet) Wanna pick up the DON Issue #2 & Puma Hardcourt on sales. Kobe 6 Grinch (somehow) and hopefully the Jordan XXXV Low whenever that is.

[@brauprx]

I just missed them on a 50% off sale a couple of weeks ago and now they're back at their retail price in the online store I buy my shoes down here in Mexico City, I hope they'll be back on discount. The thing that held me back from buying them was the fact that I haven't been able to ball in almost a year because of the pandemic and having another new pair of shoes seemed too much to me (I got a few pairs in 2020 that I haven't been able to take to the blacktop). Great video as always!

Finally, the best basketball shoes of 2020 and on top of that, performance reviews were tested outdoors which is relatively common here in the Philippines. I've been eyeing on J34/J34 SE and KD13 and I am impresesed that they made it after Chris' top pick which is the Puma Clydr All-Pro. Unfortunately, I prefer the highs for hooping so I think I'll pass on the Pumas and go with either KD13s or J34s. Thank you for this informative content, making it clear what shoes I should get.

my 2020 shoe that covid messed up for me was the Jordan react elevation. I bought them after watching jalique's first look at them, but never got to play in them cause the gyms shut down and I didn't want to risk ruining the traction outdoors because there was never a performance review saying how well they would hold up outdoors being trans rubber. So I am still hoopin in my zoom rize, which is ok because they are really comfortable. But great vid as always
