In this video we go over the Asics Gelhoop V16:
Cushion and comfort continue to be balanced perfectly - there’s no surprises with the setup, featuring a full-length Flytefoam midsole with their signature Gel cushioning in the rearfoot. It gives you a nice and smooth ride, great court feel, no pinching or discomfort from the upper materials either. My only issue experienced with this pair has been the traction performance on a very dusty court. I’ve had a few instances where I was sliding out there, and my guess is that it has a lot to do with this “extra durable” version (grey colorway) putting an added layer on the outsole. Otherwise, this is a fantastic shoe to play in and you should be good to go with most of the other colorways - they’re light, fast, stable and responsive enough at the same time.
Let me know your thoughts on the Asics Gelhoop V16 in the comments! Would you gjve these a try??

Gelhoop V16:
🟢 Comfort, Cushion & Court Feel
🔴 Traction on Dust
Thank you for watching!!
*I’d recommend going with their regular colorways (not this grey pair).
I bought a pair of Nova Surge 2(actually picked up a mid top) based on your recommendation. They are great shoes
Thanks Tommy
gb26 + v15 + THE FIRST SLAM DUNK movie...
@@TommyLiu4 GELHOOP V16 S...•AHAR+...should be act like nike's xdr...pls try on concrete and see...
my v15 with NC RUBBER Traction on concrete is fine...
Love Asics. Been wearing them since track sprinting cleats in 91.
Love how your reviews are concise and straight to the point! I tried the gelburst 27 after watching your review and am now an ASICS convert
Thank you!! Nice 😆👍
Next, Liren 4 v2 ,Tommy! For sure that would be an S tier shoe, or maybe the shoe of the year! hehe
From what ive heard. V2 only has better courtfeel compared to v1, due to less cushion thickness.
I got the gelburst based on your recommendation and they have been great
Nice! 👍👍 My no.1 most worn shoe last year lol maybe this year too the 28…
I go to Japan soon, so I am keen to try some Asics hoop shoes particularly the gelburst if they still have em, since you rated them so highly last year!
👌 worth trying for sure
goin to japan this year. saving to go shopping over there. def gonna pick up some asics hoop shoes
Nice, I’m jealous I wanna be there too lol
I bought the Nova Surge 2 mid top great shoes based on your reviews.
Definitely recommend them
Nice! 👍
Precision 7 review please!!!!!!!!
I wear precision 5's daily. Can't wait for 7's.
Saw a pro baller wearing Kobe Grinch's today. Amazing.
Love B ball shoes...
Danggg! Excited for that new release
Looking forward to that new release.
🫡
I wear the Asiscs Sky Elite FF MT2 for volleyball and for me they look exactly the same as these, just some different materials and different tread pattern.
👌👍
@@Andre72495 I really wanted to get the All city 11 last year, but I live in Japan so it's just easier to get some Asics. Also got them on sale, so it wasn't that bad.
Unique content! always cool to see these off-brand kicks get reviewed. hope you can also review the Liren 4 V2 Low and the new Son of Flash 2. Thank you for these very informative
videos!
Yes both coming up. 😃
And THANK YOU!!
when I requested for asics shoes i didn’t know you would make a video so fast. Love your content! anyway comparison flytefoam vs zoom air vs boom?
Thank you! Tbh I try not to compare techs directly cause they can turn out quite differently on different models.
On the official Asics website in Taiwan, this model is called GELHOOP V16 S, and it's slightly heavier than the regular version(30g US9)
I guess that's the downside of having an extra durable outsole.
Yes and I’m guessing that traction on dust took a hit because of this specific version too.
i play volleyball with asics volleyball and hoop shoes and they’re all great, i haven’t tried this model yet tho i might cop the white and purple ones simple but clean, and did i saw the new gel burst at the end ????, thanks for the amazing performance review as always
Yes the new Gelburst is amazing. And thank you!!
As someone who plays both sports, I've found that volleyball players tend to explore basketball shoes more because basketball footwear has seen significant development lately, with many models offering comparable performance to big names like Sky and Netburner in every aspect (comfort, responsiveness, durability, aesthetics, etc.).
Asics produces basketball shoes that perform decently, but their pricing is quite unfavorable. In both videos about Gelhoop and Gelburst, as well as Nova Surge 2, the channel owner Tommy Liu praised their performance but criticized their high price and hard to buy. This sentiment holds true; in Vietnam, it's rare to find basketball players wearing Asics shoes, but Chinese shoes of Li-Ning, Anta, 361 are very cheap, half the price compared to the US because we ordered them directly from China, as it's like searching for a needle in a haystack. However, among volleyball players, the usage of Asics basketball shoes is much more common.
Great video as always tommy! Could you help me to decide between the 361 AG4 and the Liren 3v2 for a outdoor use?
Thank you!! Liren 3 V2.
It looks a lot like de Sky elite FF 2 which is a volleyball shoe
Their shoes all look alike 😂
Asics is underrated i have never see someone with asics
I unfortunately don’t know about these or any other ASICS pair of ball kicks :-/ hopefully they’ll start selling in the US one day
Hopefully they do!
Hey Tommy, could you please do a basketball shoe review specifically tailored for flat feet and outdoor use? It would be great if you could suggest options from brands like Nike, Puma, and Adidas. We have limited choices in India, so they don't have to be the latest releases. Thanks!
Hey I have some videos on those separately. Best for flat feet, best for outdoors, etc.
Strange question (maybe not) , would you ever make a list or reel for sneakers with the best support ? (Like ankle sprainers and etc)Adulthood is wack lol
Yes for sure lol 👌 Will keep that in mind!
Which one is better comparing to Gelburst
Gelburst
Where did you get your Asics fix from? Asics Japan carries 2E, 4E but they aren't selling them overseas. Not sure if any other countries' Asics are able to sell overseas.
Can't find a proper 4E pair in Singapore, most of their retail outlets here only carry running or lifestyle. Their factory outlets only carry limited old stocks and no wide sizes.
It's been frustrating hunting a proper Asics bball shoes for me. Haha
China. I see yeah their availability still isn’t great outside of Japan no doubt…
nice review brother
Thanks man!
Is that the Asics Unpre ARS Low you’re teasing?
Gelburst 28
@@TommyLiu4Awesome, looking forward to it.
This or gelburst 27? Thanks! I tried these in stores but I don't know which one performs better.
Gelburst
@@TommyLiu4 thanks!
Shame they don't go bigger than size 12 at least when I was checking them out in Japan.
😢😢
Also just more sizes past size 10 would be nice
If you would have to choose beetwen dame certified, bounce legends, or ua lockdown 6 for best outdoor performance (especially in summer) which one would you choose?
Dame Certified
None
go check the history of asics , founder was a basketball shoe maker at first , lol , i always see people wear running shoe
what's the point if you cant get em unless you in Asia
I’m not in Asia.
When are you reviewing the gelburst 28?
Soon
Asics Australia 🇦🇺 just got some Nova Surge 2 and Gel burst 28 in stock , which one should I consider getting? Im intrigued 🤔
Nova Surge 2 if you are heavy PF/C and Gelburst if you are PG
^
Can you try the asic unpre ars 2 ? I heard they have better cushion than gelburst and gelhoop
Oh I didn’t know the 2 came out. Sure will take a look!
can I share how you were able yo get a pair?
Any plans to review the Kai 1?
Yeah
How they hold up outdoors?
Good, more durable than other regular Asics hoop shoes. But traction for indoors is not as good unfortunately.
Do you know the netburner ballistic ff3? I plan on getting them for basketball because my playstyle is rooted in speed, whats your opinion on those?
Not sure sorry - just looked it up the setup seems quite different too from what I’m familiar with. But looks fantastic!
The net burner ballistics 3 can be used for basketball however, it lacks cushion in my opinion due to stack height being smaller.
The model is a netball shoe so it does do basketball decently well just not as much cushion.
@@blastu99 What is netball?
@@TommyLiu4 to tldr netball it is almost like basketball, just no back board and no dribbling, and other small differences in the rules
@@blastu99 Interesting! Thank you, learned something new lol I’m reading the rules rn.
Are you gonna try the new Gelburst 28?
Been hooping in them a lot recently, nasty good.
Better than 15?
I didn’t have the 15 sorry, should be only small changes.
Just curious how tall are you man? If you're a 10.5
181cm
li ning gamma review coming?
maybe
Gelhoop v16 or Wade Fission 9??
Fission 9
If not for the traction on dust issue I have on my pair I’d probably take these however…
@@TommyLiu4 I think something was wrong. May be you tried Gelhoop v16s. The "s" are outdoor version of v16 and traction of s isn't good for indoor. But v16 regular is very well
@@TommyLiu4 but however I will buy Fission 9 because in my country I can have way of wade with so awesome price (Fission 9
@@Andre72495 Yes exactly you’re right.
And now you know!
But can't buy. 😒
Haha yes oh man… When will this change
