You have a fantastic review method. Giving weights and scores to different aspects of the shoe is refreshing

[@theshoesayer]

Thanks!! Appreciate it!

[@isoemisamuel6298]

best review of the Lebron 21s on the internet rn!

[@Regular_D09]

I know everyone cant afford new equipment, but you would def go up a notch with some better audio. Even if you have a phone, and you can take the audio from your phone, and sync It with the audio from your camera, it will come out 1000* better. No hate, coming from a place of love, and wanting you to grow! GL

[@theshoesayer]

Appreciate it ! Got a better mic. Please check out my reviews for the harden vol 8s and the Dbook1and let me know what you think.

[@edwin_40]

Great content. Love the detailed review and how you are weighting each of the aspects to get to a well balanced ranking

[@theshoesayer]

Thanks! Appreciate it!

[@paullampa3172]

My bro, this was one of THE most thorough and detailed review I've seen in a long time. I know it took a long time to edit, but I appreciate the hard work you put into it. - I'll definitely get this colorway and the denim one as well. Keep the vids coming! All success to you. - Salute from Michigan

[@theshoesayer]

I appreciate you man! Thanks for the comment! Go for it bro. The Denim one is definitely fire

[@stuffgas]

Dang this is the best shoe review I've seen

[@theshoesayer]

Thank you!! Appreciate it !!

[@wasabiq2202]

Finally! now this is a PERFORMANCE Review. Solid content overall.

[@theshoesayer]

Appreciate it!

[@mytravelya]

rock & roll bro. Great content.

[@PaulAroloyee]

The 3 Point God at LSP! Keep up with the videos, my G!

[@theshoesayer]

Thanks man!!

[@bryantnarvaez6304]

I was about to go buy the queen conch today. But I saw your review last night, and after reading comments, I decided it might not be worth it anymore.

[@theshoesayer]

Yeah , the shoes play nice, but the lack of outsole durability was a huge deal personally for me.

[@maxa.759]

Love the 21’s best hoop shoe ever

[@roselineparker-ip8gf]

Hot takes 🔥🔥🔥

[@lekanishola5826]

the slip ups was the only slip up, overall a super cool shoe

[@blasian_nate]

He is dead on... on all the flaws of this shoe. I haven't even played ball in them yet and laces unloosening and tongue cutting into my ankles.

[@mattf.5820]

This is awesome. Do you find the patent leather folding into your foot in a way thats painful or uncomfortable?

[@theshoesayer]

Nah, I thought it would just seeing it, but I played in two pairs and didn't notice any discomfort personally.

[@Dr.Tony.Cii.]

Brooo the traction!! 😭😩 The same exact thing happened with the Lebron XX Chosen 1 colorway!! The traction was immaculate at first…as everyone raves about in their reviews…….but relatively quickly over time it started wearing and turning ashy purple like your friend’s with the purple Lebron 21 colorway!! Nobody tells you about that in their reviews. 😐👎🏾😂 The traction quickly became so bad that I started having slip outs atleast once or twice a night whenever I’d wear them for runs. I had a slip out so bad that I almost hurt my knee……this was the deciding moment for me. I told myself I’m never hooping in them again and told my friend (as he was helping me up off of the ground) that I was selling them. 😂😂 I was so done with them. I got home, cleaned them up, washed them, air dried them, took pictures, and had the listing live on eBay the very next morning LMAO!! Sold those boys and had them shipped off before the end of the damn week. 😭😭😭😭

[@theshoesayer]

Brah! And its not that hard of a problem to fix. They should really do better.

[@grahamcarmichael6567]

Man, I had this same thing happen to me with the Lebron 20 black/gold color way. Within about a month I started slipping out and slipped like 5 times while playing. I had never slipped in any other shoes so I didn’t know what was going on. I washed the bottom of the shoes to clean the dust off, and that helped, but you shouldn’t have to wash the bottom of your shoes after every time you play. Nike is so cheap, they use trash materials and charge top dollar. The 20’s were also way too narrow and hurt my feet. I ended up just tossing them in the trash after 2 months.

[@keithackerman2212]

please review the GT cut 3s

[@eddievalle6412]

I just returned a pair of the LeBron 21 "Tahitian's" super cool looking shoes. Beware the steal eyelets at the top of the shoe gave me bad blisters on the inside of my ankles. Please try them on first to make sure. A friend also bough a pair and complained as well. He said it took about 5 runs to break in. I'm to old for that. Recommend the Curry 24 Splash Jam & the Puma Scoot Pro Nitro. You can just put these on and ball with no break in required. Those are my type of shoe !

[@theshoesayer]

No lies! The all pro nitros are a beast from day one!

[@eddievalle6412]

Yes Sir ?@@theshoesayer

[@jasonp2174]

LeBron 21 fits snug, do you need go half size up or 1 size up for casual wearing?

[@theshoesayer]

You should be fine going true to size.

[@lekanishola5826]

Do a Jordan so we know points per shoe

[@theshoesayer]

LoL!

[@agadc]

Volume is low

[@theshoesayer]

Yeah, I'll fix that next video. I was testing out a new mic.
