[@wesbo4]

Please ship to Australia

[@adamwesterhout]

@@wesbo4they do. I copped their OG pair in Sea Salt. Fantastic customer service

[@breadsticksngl3888]

Shipping all over the world + up to size 18 (full family and people size)

[@OliverWulff]

Please can you ship to Australia. I want a pair so bad and I was very disappointed when I went to checkout and Aus wasn’t a option

[@einavchazen]

Please create a version for people using custom orthotics

[@jacecastillo9390]

It's either this or they release more kobe's

[@raaaam7469]

or reps lots of good quality reps out in china

[@nassiglutt6587]

Right idk why they aint making kobes more available. They wil sell out regardless of more pairs while they're making tons of freaks and lukas which more are going to be on outlets anyway. Guess nike just don't want to share more profits to the kobe family😁

[@latneyblunk3643]

I just decided I ain't getting no Kobe's so I don't even care about them anymore. I can find other ways to remember him.

[@ThomasGoldringJr]

Chris Your Are The Reason That Show Love To Other 👟 Brands

[@orlandowilliamson691]

​@@latneyblunk3643Kobe's too overpriced but they are damn good shoes. Ngl

[@Drew.Whitcomb]

We need a company like this innovating at an extremely fast pace. It's the only thing that will push the big brands to try harder.

[@seriousplayeronly]

Thanks providing us a stage with so many active sneaker heads! Player1 Plus is not the end it’s just the beginning as well as coming Midsoles!

[@variandavid377]

That’s so cool that they actually made improvements and added to it. All those additional insoles are great…especially the support and the explosive ones!!

[@rodneyjackson1598]

Serious player give us what Nike fails to do, better version of each shoe and proper updates to the models. Nike wants to limit Kobe’s well boom try these out I promise you’ll be happy. If your a Nike head you’ll never see the quality of start up brands. Li-Ning had shoes before the Wow line and that line didn’t have good cushion until the 9 and ups. Spo gives you that in model 1

[@hittintrees]

Nike gatekeeping the Kobe's is pissing me off to no end and i wouldn't even buy them, because i dont buy shoes for over 100-120 Bucks.

[@teriok6783]

Buying a pair right now. The styling makes this an all around shoe, the fact that they seem to be a competent basketball shoe is the icing on the cake.

[@solarcentipede1749]

I didn‘t want to buy any more basketball shoes until the end of the year and there are so many good options but I think I have to get a pair of these. The performance aspect looks great and I love how they respond to feedback and what they are trying to do.

[@nevertrust7687]

Grabbed the Player One Plus and the shoes are dope!! Fit amazing, comfortable and great traction, gonna grab more as new colors release can't wait! Tell everyone buy these and let NIKE keep taking kickbacks from resellers by releasing 47,000 pairs for a world of fans. These are better, brand cares about customers and works with their feedback, let the resellers eat that money and NIKE can lose fans to a real brand for players

[@michaelmarks9002]

Great review and awesome to see their evolution and you acknowledging that. Fully back this brand. Would be dope for you and Jodi to talk to the team that is doing this development and designing.

[@pistolpete023]

First time I tried a full-length drop-in setup was in the Foamposite Lite from 2009. The cushioning of that shoe was actually pretty fantastic, but almost too soft. If I remember correctly, it was Zoom Air encased in foam that was cored out for even more compression.

[@bettynuggz]

Why does the logo look like Reebok's?

[@retrocny5625]

I can remember the first time I experienced a drop in midsole and fell in love. The Lebron 11s. The lunar and full length zoom combo. First time I ever felt full length zoom directly under my foot and not under a strobel or encased in foam. It was a wild experience. Took a bit to break in but after they did... money. I still love the Lebron 11 to this day, one of his best shoes even though he had issues with them due to his fucked up feet lol. I just recently bought another pair from StockX as my originals were long worn out and long gone, and I missed being able to play in them. Any company that offers a bunch of different drop in midsoles for their shoes like this(nike used to be one time), they're doing good in my book.

[@as112]

I always love when this channel shows the non mainstream stuff.

[@raiderdefendant2225]

Yeah bro, those guys are making way better shoes than a lot of these top brands

[@csomarriba25]

I bought Player One Plus and they are the real deal. I highly recommend them for any hooper. The plus drop-in midsole is amazing, especially for us bigger players. And the lightweight of the shoe will keep you quick on your feet. You will not regret buying this shoe.

[@natbalanza]

hopefully they would ship to new zealand soon. they would fill the void the nike app would be leaving - nike online shopping would halt from october 1. 😊

[@R1106S]

Has anyone tried using their midsoles in Kobe’s (8 and 9)?

[@D3L3T3]

Anybody wanna buy 11.5US support insole brand new? Hmu

[@zetaswhyos1344]

Very new to this brand but I seen they don’t restock. Do they regularly drop new colorways monthly or something?

[@gasol1804]

No, any color is the only color way they drop

[@unknown_vexfn6062]

does any1 know how expensive it is to buy them from germany?

[@MrBdiddyp63]

Front of that backpack looks like a molle system for storage and the Velcro will allow you to customize it with patches and whatnot.

[@ballersofthesix]

Has anyone tried SPO's drop-ins on Kobe 8 Protros?

[@roldanclosa5539]

I wear size 11 nike and 10.5 adidas. Any recommendation for SPO? No shop in the Philippines that we can fit them 😢

[@austintorres7675]

There is in Makati. Box and 1

[@Bliu2th]

SPO's are better kobe protros than the actual kobe protros lol

[@shayp3kicks]

I put this midsole in my Kobe 11 Bruce lees.. They are perfect!!!

[@stuartrobinson1593]

TTS?

[@shayp3kicks]

@stuartrobinson1593 no my KB11 is a half size up

[@kyleanderson8670]

The explosive midsole seems like the best thing ever

[@tjbawlla16]

the most comfortable shoe bro

[@j03yyy]

These versus sabrina 2...which is better

[@matsimms7467]

🇬🇧 Fantastic review.

[@dwharton8983]

I love the many options as far as basketball shoes I'm a fan of variety 👍

[@Mandingo17]

The Jordan 2012 has a system too I think, which was cool

[@WearTesters]

He wasn’t giving a list. He said where it was introduced.

[@123michaeljordan23]

But do the drop-ins fit in Kobe's?? I need something new for my Kobe 11's and I'd rather avoid getting 10 year old drop ins from the LB11's, eBay prices are rough.

[@shayp3kicks]

I have the 3rd one.. but I will be grabbing that explosive!!!!

[@michaelmedlock3660]

Are you familiar with a brand called Public School? Would you review a pair of those?

[@Marko-vp1qq]

Upper looks kobe 8 Outsole looks mamba instinct

[@mamunoz23]

So player 1 you size up? Player 1 plus it’s true to size? I currently play in Kobe 6 and 9 true to size. Kobe 5 sized up.

[@snkrtechtalk6005]

Killed it! Very dead on. Give the brand a shot, they care about your feedback, unlike the “others”

[@kirbyaugustine761]

I’m all about serious players brand. Copped the Sea Salt One’s and am waiting for the Plus.

[@44WhiteChocolate]

Sooo much confusion on sizing i wear li-ning and go hp half a size so i get US11 can anyone help? Are these half a size difference to UK like adidas

[@allesfurdiefamilie6958]

Man that Logo Looks Like Reebok and Onitsuka Tigers have a Baby...

[@jrrodriguez3594]

QOTD suggestion: would you rather have two left feet, or two right feet?

[@pfunk79one]

Good looks on this review. It helped me get a pair in the Joker colorway and they are everything you said and some. Ballin

[@EyeWunna]

For a wide footer how should I got about my size? In player1 plus

[@noobnoob117]

Awesome review, but they're kinda pricey :(

[@coreylscott7272]

Salute

[@ralphtree03]

i cant unsee the two sunny side up in the drop-in midsole.. kidding aside, the improvements made from the previous models are great, kudos to seriousplayeronly

[@BrianO109]

They told me on instagram they were working on a pebax drop in, maybe that's the material

[@shanghaisole2305]

been trying to tell people about this brand since the beginning! and now it's just the beginning!!

[@zakiclosa300]

this is one the reasons why nike is always on sale. having them as an option is really good. resellers cannot do anything about it

[@wuwuisaac]

That’s it someone figure it out, all we really need for the rest of our lives are just some Kobe’s

[@phil_decastro]

Velcro panel on the outside could be for your braces to stick on there so they air out while you're not playing. A lot of baseball bags have velcro patches to stick your batting gloves on to help them dry out while you aren't playing.

[@carloberja7834]

@weartesters does the SPO drop-ins fit the Kobe 8 Protro?

[@oceancycloneblue5356]

Finally a company listens and puts sticky film on top of the insole. Havent seen that since the jordan 30. Such a simple yet useful modification.

[@juanp1089]

Should change their name to S.P.O. No one wants to wear a shoe with a long name on it.

[@JustKicks786]

$180, I'm not its justfied; just not for me yet 😅

[@yon.andriti]

Nice review. Do i have to use the same size as nike shoe size? How's the toe fit? Thanks.

[@zabadooz.9751]

A little disappointed by this video, only because you said the fit on the plus is now TTS. I just bought two colorways a half size up due to previous fit issues and their continued recommendation to go up on their site. I guess I'll hold full judgement until I get them in, but maybe some feedback is they should take that recommendation off the product pages if the fit issues have been fixed. 🤷‍♂️ Great video as always!

[@thisiserwin]

@zabadooz.9571 so, how is it? is the half size up better than TTS? What is your TTS Size? I plan to buy this shoes but worry about the sizing

[@MrMooie]

It’s great to see improvement like this. It’s also great for consumers to learn about it. Very cool.

[@nicooooo3197]

What size do you guys recommned for the wide footers?

[@sq1ne]

Wow... i'm definitely impressed with what I see from this brand!

[@kristoffetan7021]

Can you swap the midsole with 808 3s?

[@joshkirk6202]

The Game version looks a lot like the one take two Westbrook shoe

[@DamianDaniels]

The website still says to order .5 size up even for these Plus. I went to order a pair right after but now I’m not sure. You said true to size. Who to believe?!?

[@seriousplayeronly]

You should be fine with half a fine up. Our new lace-tech is more accommodating! But we’d be curious on your feedback!🎉

[@christianodagled2446]

NBA signature shoes passed 🙏💪

[@petervanvalkenburg5551]

You are giving them so much good publicity! It’s sad that most of their inventory is sold out. By time they restock people will have forgotten about them and moved on to a new shoe. Bad move on their part to not be prepared for the traffic from your video.

[@WearTesters]

They have social media accounts and email newsletters for people interested in products.

[@shawnbrightly9200]

Sometimes, it's hard being broke. I actually really like the style of these and they have a lot of potential. Def on my list of shoes to buy soon

[@TevinGucci]

these are kobe's

[@黄飞侠]

It sold out in 3 hours in Chinese Market

[@jonibudtz9662]

can you have your own insoles in them

[@Mjay95498]

Hopefully they make hi tops basketball shoe's also

[@developing8]

Seriously considering buying these

[@mikey48392]

Been wanting to try these but still saving up hahaha

[@sprtsgalore]

I love this. Really interested in this brands updates .

[@blackmanwhitesuit]

Videos like this remind me of why I liked this channel so much. Something to keep an eye out for now.

[@mickhellee]

new balance two way v4 pls

[@dominicsacdalan7649]

wish they made them widely available, they always release cws limited

[@khoanguyen1830]

question. Does the insoles or mid soles whatever you call it come with the shoes or you have to buy it seperatedly?

[@WearTesters]

Watch the video.

[@robertolee578]

where do you get all these comics shirts so dope

[@brixkidd6971]

The logo looks like the Reebok logo?

[@bendhaese]

If you have wide feet should I go up A half size???

[@seriousplayeronly]

Highly recommended!

[@litz6605]

i need some free ones fr

[@_marcwhite]

What about the fit for wide footers?

[@maurolinoignacio3615]

Can't wait until I get my pluses

[@RobVanDam1591]

The outsole reminds me of the flowtro outsole

[@bingchenzhan3145]

Heel slippage is a real big issue for me, shoe is true to size and I have tried different lacing options but nothing works, it feels like the padding just not enough. If I tie it super tie the laces will dig into my foot as well. No good balance there. Wonder if anyone else is experiencing this and have a good fix.

[@panthersfantre]

Did you ever find a fix?

[@bingchenzhan3145]

@@panthersfantre nah, i had to tie it up real tied to be able to not slip. Reported this issue to SPO and they said I need to purchase their explosive insole to get rid of the slippage.🙄

[@stancoward9394]

I'm sold, I just ordered these!

[@laa2318]

just copped a half size up, hope it fits well

[@nniivekkappo7544]

this or the puma nitros?

[@ruderude]

Would their insoles be compatible with other brands ?

[@Drew.Whitcomb]

I believe Chris talked about that in the last video about SPO

[@ruderude]

I will check 😊

[@NLouds35]

Could these be used on the tennis court? The traction and fit looks like they would be incredible for it.

[@Drew.Whitcomb]

They'll work for tennis...question is how long the outsole will last. Would be a great thing to test.

[@soubido]

You suggest going true to size and their website said to go half size up. I'm looking to order a pair what should I do lol

[@WearTesters]

For normal or narrow feet, yes.

[@soubido]

@@WearTesters thanks!

[@216k5]

WearTesters which shoe is better? The serious player 1 plus or serious player 2023

[@WearTesters]

That was explained in this video.

[@216k5]

Oh sorry I didn’t know cuz I didn’t have time to watch the full video

[@spencerkogut107]

Any idea when the Game 1s are dropping??

[@WearTesters]

Not sure. We’ll update somewhere when they are.

[@flymin765]

🔥

[@tredeezy76]

Wasn't fast enough or cool enough for the new Kobes.....been waiting for this particular color....can't wait for em to come in... hearing that they run true to size gives me some relief. That last drop in 🔥

[@WearTesters]

The fit is much improved compared to the first shoe. Looks like they have a decent return policy in case they don't work out for you as well.

[@Kwamikaze88]

I'm with you. This color might be my favorite of this new model and knowing that I can go true to size is even better. My wallet is ready! lol

[@Ki11er_B]

WISH THIS BRAND WILL BE AVAILABLE IN CANADA!

[@DamianDaniels]

They ship to canada.

[@MaddNomad1015]

All they’re missing midsole wise is something with arch support. (Since drop in midsoles don’t allow you to put in your own inserts)

[@WearTesters]

The midsoles feature lifted arches for support.

[@long8888]

Try the small arch support insert with sticky back….they stay in place pretty well

[@MaddNomad1015]

That’s good, yeah I’ll try it. Now I’m tripping over sizing since SPO told me it’s half a size up yet Chris says it’s tts 😅

[@seriousplayeronly]

Depending on the foot shape tts and half a size up would both work. If you have a one of our previous models, then staying with half a size up might give you more variety on changing midsoles:)

[@DrakeBruh-p9s]

watch out for the next release where its their own design not Kobe design and they are traaaaashhhhhh 😂😂😂😂

[@efx80]

way of wade clears every single spo shoe by a HUGE margin

[@person4409]

Not a HUGE margin

[@WearTesters]

We’re not talking about a well established brand. We’re discussing a *new* brand to keep and eye on.

[@efx80]

@@person4409 no shoe spo makes will ever be better than the wow10

[@efx80]

@@WearTesters lets be honest, no one wore the wades before they released the 10 and 808 line

[@WearTesters]

We’re the first to review any Wade Brand or Li-Ning products. Long before you decided to wear them. Since we’re being honest… it took the Wade brand 10 years to make a great shoe. If you don’t think another brand can do something like that then you need to pull you head out of Wades ass.
