I'm 23 playing high level basketball, have tried hundreds of hoop shoes. JB1 was in my top 3 all time. Also was my first Li-ning shoe, I loved the Boom drop-in, traction was insane and fit my foot perfectly. (Pushed me to buy the sonic 11 v2, again a top tier shoe) I was a little disheartened when I saw they removed the drop in, but boom is still probably my favourite set up, and I know Li-ning rarely miss with traction. Keen to give these a try, hopefully some more colours become available for Australian consumers 🔥
Hi, I think this is the first time that i can actually comment in a video. I'm hoping that everything goes right in your life, because you guys and the spanish weartesters have been helping me when choosing the shows that i hoop White. Really apretiate that
A banana is an elongated, edible fruit - botanically a berry - produced by several kinds of large herbaceous flowering plants in the genus Musa. In some countries, bananas used for cooking may be called "plantains", distinguishing them from dessert bananas.
Excited for these. Will wait to get them a little cheaper, but definitely buying a pair. Glad I have a tie breaker for the fit since Sole Drop and Foot Doctor Zach disagreed on sizing.
The shoes looks dope. I like them…glad to hear the traction works because I was intrigued and confused when you showed it. I laughed so hard when you said that a care bear got merc’ed! 🤣 As for Avatar….i enjoyed the show overall. It definitely has a lot of things to tweak and adjustments to make, and I thought the over consolidation of stories to fit 8 episodes was too rushed, which ironically didn’t give Aang time for character development and growth. I feel they should add 2 more episodes to make 10…so there’s a bit more room to breathe. Zuko on the other hand….had all the character development! You’re not alone, hands down episode 6 was the best out of all of them. It was just written better. I loved the way the Kyoshi warriors looked….and dude playing Zuko really did a good job! What really stood out for me was how they handled Iroh and his son’s funeral…and having the instrumental of the song play in the background. It was just beautifully done. There was no way they could’ve recreated that specific scene and conveyed that same level of emotion that the original had. I just finished Avatar and now I’m on Korea again…..I go the full stretch because I love seeing the evolution of the world, environment and people. Plus I still notice things that i missed prior…like the evolution of colloquialism being used in that world….like FLAMEO evolving into everyday use in language, where it was Aang who technically introduced it initially.
Could you please make your next video on your Reebok blast I know you have a pair and I'm going to keep commenting this until you do. Keep up the good work love the videos I feel like I'm the only 16 year old that would rather have a pair of Reebok pumps or answer or questions then Jordans I wore Reebok pumps in basketball last season and got my first in game dunk in some tmac 3 this year
The JB1 is a foam traction & it works really well for me excited to try the 2s. Pretty sure they felt they needed to do this because they JAM packed both the 1s & 2s with all the tech they could fit in them.
lolll 1:53. for the live action avatar, im not sure why, but i didnt fully enjoy it yet it had me interested enough to finish the season and want to watch more
Hey man, love your videos and am so glad I discovered you this last month! As a big Heat and Jimmy Butler fan, where in the world do I get these?? Is my only options things like goat and StockX, or is there an actual store/website, cause I can never seem to find these anywhere
Haven't watched the live action Airbender...price tag for jb is to high + I play on a crazy dusty floor....I am holding out hope for either the wow 11 or li ning gamma....until then my dame certified is crushing it on dust and the wxy v3 on less dusty courts ...great job as always
Thank you for the review. it would be awesome If you could mention if the tox box of the shoes is big enough to let our tox spread considered there is a lot of shoes out there with narrow tox box which could lead to a bunion
My excitement was through the roof for ATLA live action. Bending is excellent on screen, I think aang's acting left much to be desired. But still excited for S2 and S3, hyped to see live action Agni Kai!
Tbh! I've spent more $$ on my Li-Ning brands vs Nike. I wear my Nikes for pre/post game wear and my Li-Ning performance is never underwhelming. Now! I just recently jumped on the Kobe train and got a pair of Kobe V PJ Tucker PE and VI Rev Grinch! The comfort and performance for these pair vs others is/was well worth the $$$.
I had pizza for lunch today 🍕 Also, these types of tech breakdowns nurtured my love for sneakers. The first shoe I bought because of one of these reviews was the Nike Hyperdunk 2012 🔥
Algo love❤.. seems like a nice option! Difficult with these brands especially in my part of the world. I guess no one really can just go in store and try on.
Non slip shoes usually come in multi square or triangular shapes ,tightly together for the best disperse of moisture and Traction. I'm surprised the basketball shoe would go with the kitchen style non slip pattern. Good idea tho!
I love me some care bear murking for the extra fluffy materials! Probably explains the high price. I would love trying these, but if I don‘t win the lottery I don‘t see myself paying more than WOW 10 money für basketball shoes anytime soon.
my niece watches the avatar toon series before. don't know if she remembers them and compared the live action series but I'm curious how close they are in story.
Agree w/ Chris about tongue, its a shame because what hes talking about is exactly what they did on the 1s & it was a perfect tongue, zero lace pressure.
I don't understand why they omitted padding on the tongue for the 2s. The JB1 has targeted pads and they do a great job of alleviating lace pressure, and when I saw the 2s the tongue was my biggest concern. 😕
$289 is a tough ask for a pair of shoes I’m going to wreck. Especially when there’s things like the GT Academy out there. They do look dope though and, for the marketplace competition, I hope they do well enough to get another version.
It seems some of Li-Ning's rubber it's like that. I got the budget-friendly Sonic VII a few years ago, the rubber was extra tacky and sounded just like that right out the box, but was a dust magnet. Still managed to have great traction outdoors and stopped sounded like that after wear.
Hi Chris just a heads up, JB2 retails for 1299 RMB ($180) and most of the colorways can be found around $135 on Taobao; even with proxy + shipping it shouldn't cost as near as the horrendous $289 price tag from their official US store. 😂
@@JohnWhitman-cb3jf You need to find a proxy shipping service/agent (I'm not naming them here, but its pretty easy to find). You buy the shoes and ship them to their warehouse and they will take pictures and verify the order, then you can select and pay for intl shipping from China to your country.
The Avatar live action series just felt rush as in the story telling and the progression. but its okay overall i enjoyed it and looking forward to the next season
I hear alot a good thing about lining basketball shoes, but they don't have shoes stores in florida cause I like going in the shoes places and trying them on feet, don't like making shoes order online. Wish they sold them in stores
I just bought a pair of leather version of JB2. 1. Traction is great, it’s called GCU out sole, but only in the front, the back part still normal rubber. 2. The carbon plate is in the middle of the boom, like the sandwich, feel good though, but nothing that special. 3. The shoe tongue is way too thin, I fell same thing the lace not that comfortable. Leather+ carbon plate it remind 2000’s Nike and adidas.
Used the 808 III last season to move on with the JB2 for this season: better bounce/cushion and better grip on dusty courts. Definitely an improvement. Really feel like a glove. Boom fibre is top, super breathable. Tried the AC12Encore before but with the leather in the forefoot too tight and uncomfortable. JB2 is a top shoe for hooping.
I think the Netflix adaptation was good enough. The feels were there especially during the part where Aang went back to the air temple and he saw Gyatso's skeletons..
I'm going to wait til those shoes drop in price. I'm very curious after seeing many reviews on the JB. I heard Li-Ning has added some stuff to the rubber for it to stick and has amazing traction indoor and out. No I have not seen Last Airbender on Netflix. I forgot about it but am no curious because of this video. I'm go binge it right now. We might have to have a seperate channel discussion for Airbender.
I haven't watched avatar since it first aired on nickelodeon so i can't answer this qotd. I could be wrong but i feel the pandemic helped some of this older cartoons and anime's become popular again from people browsing through netflix and hulu for something to watch.
Li Ning shoes are amazingly comfortable. I hope that can set up shop here in the states soon!. Thanks for the vid.
I'm 23 playing high level basketball, have tried hundreds of hoop shoes.

what would you say are your top 3?
Li Nings are very underrated! Got a pair of WOW 10 Lows and they did not disappoint! If only they were more accessible in North America though..
Hi, I think this is the first time that i can actually comment in a video. I'm hoping that everything goes right in your life, because you guys and the spanish weartesters have been helping me when choosing the shows that i hoop White. Really apretiate that
NEED THAT HOODIE!!!
Nice to see you back on the court brother, awesome vid! This colorway dropped down to 250$!
Check taobao website direct from china. 140$ for that colorway

JB1’s had foam outsole and it was beastly
Awesome review as always, thank you so much!
Excited for these. Will wait to get them a little cheaper, but definitely buying a pair. Glad I have a tie breaker for the fit since Sole Drop and Foot Doctor Zach disagreed on sizing.
Very clean shoe and a nice follow up to the first one
Was waiting for this one!
The cut to the squeaky shoes got me 🤣🤣🤣🤣.

The carebear comment was amazing
Thank you!
Love your videos
Couldn’t agree more with all your takes on the Avatar new series.
Wish I would have waited on the Bron 21’s and went with the JB2’s..great review!
Great video! Thanks for the content
Nice review as always
The goat reviewer is baaaack!!!!!😤😤
Damn! I haven’t heard Volcom in a while! OG shiz! For the algorithm!
🔥🔥🔥 review as always.
lolll 1:53. for the live action avatar, im not sure why, but i didnt fully enjoy it yet it had me interested enough to finish the season and want to watch more
Great review always! One qns, are the outsoles durable for outdoor court?
Another great review
Ayy first! Great video as always
Peace,
Dope review as always. Stay up.
Awesome review!!!
Fight the damn algorithm get that Money Chris and Jodey!
3:06 aside from the similar font, you gotta admit the rear midsole also looks like a derivative of a GT Cut
And even the tongue and lacing system!
Always looking forward to a new shoe review, regardless of the shoe being reviewed
Chris,
Who has the best traction?
AE1, JB2, or new Kyrie’s?
I'm going for these never done a li ning yet but these look tuff

So cool how he signed the sole as Rylee (his daughter) and Michelle Lambert.
Thx for the review
they look so clean
shame i dont have 390 AUD to spend on them
These honestly remind me of a Kobe 6 for some reason. Li Ning has been making great shoes from what I’ve seen and heard
usually the standard type insoles in li ning premium badminton shoes, not only li ning but across other premium brands of badminton kicks.
My excitement was through the roof for ATLA live action. Bending is excellent on screen, I think aang's acting left much to be desired. But still excited for S2 and S3, hyped to see live action Agni Kai!

Nice shoes, D'Lo just dropped 44 pts last night against the Bucks
Are you going to cop the J8 Solefly that came out 2023? Mi casa es su casa. Dope pair
I love the Wow10....I have the JB1s too. How's the JB2 compared to both shoes?
W i went to hongkong to buy it and i do agree the tongue should get more cushion but everything else is really good
Non slip shoes usually come in multi square or triangular shapes ,tightly together for the best disperse of moisture and Traction. I'm surprised the basketball shoe would go with the kitchen style non slip pattern. Good idea tho!
Regarding Avatar, us too. Watched live action then jumped into animated season two. We are in great anticipation of who will play Toph.
My fav shoe was the drose 7 primeknit. Any other shoe that I can get that compares? That boost is just unbeatable.
Awsome stuff
Really curious to try. The outsole and insole intrigue me.
I love me some care bear murking for the extra fluffy materials! Probably explains the high price.
I would love trying these, but if I don‘t win the lottery I don‘t see myself paying more than WOW 10 money für basketball shoes anytime soon.
nice review
These are pretty. They remind me of that lebron collab with John Elliott, with that soft pink.
my niece watches the avatar toon series before. don't know if she remembers them and compared the live action series but I'm curious how close they are in story.

I just got the 1's any feedback on these? Haven't hooped in it yet.
"You want me to do a mini review?" Me: YESSSSS.
$289 is a tough ask for a pair of shoes I’m going to wreck. Especially when there’s things like the GT Academy out there. They do look dope though and, for the marketplace competition, I hope they do well enough to get another version.
Secret tunnels for the win!!

Do you know how to get brands like Anta, and Li ning from China without paying these ridiculous price tag
Thank you for the information. It’s strange to see the official store up charge like that for US customers.
@@JohnWhitman-cb3jf You need to find a proxy shipping service/agent (I'm not naming them here, but its pretty easy to find). You buy the shoes and ship them to their warehouse and they will take pictures and verify the order, then you can select and pay for intl shipping from China to your country.
@@WearTesters It is almost like they don't want to sell it here. Buying from third party reseller is even cheaper.
these look so much like the gt cut 3 to me. wonder if they play the same
Where can I get that Calm down hoodie?!❤🔥
Fighting the good fight!
The Avatar live action series just felt rush as in the story telling and the progression. but its okay overall i enjoyed it and looking forward to the next season
This is your algorithm boost 😤
You think these would be good for ankle sprains?
I hear alot a good thing about lining basketball shoes, but they don't have shoes stores in florida cause I like going in the shoes places and trying them on feet, don't like making shoes order online. Wish they sold them in stores
Algorithm and shoe performance aside, I personally think JB2 is a greeeeat improvement over the 1s looks wise
They look like the Nike G.T Cut 2 and when he said lace pressure that was my issue with that shoe makes it very uncomfortable after an hour or 2
The sound is the air trapped in the triangles
wish they weren’t budget breaking. i’d really love to wear these on court.
for the algorithm 👍🏼
Those reebok 3d Ultralight foams were good. Just doesnt grip and last long
Will this be good for outdoors?
thank you
For me Lining is the best Chinese brand for basketball shoes. They're the Nike of Chinese
I like the color of the shoes and how much is this shoes cost
I just bought a pair of leather version of JB2. 1. Traction is great, it’s called GCU out sole, but only in the front, the back part still normal rubber.
2. The carbon plate is in the middle of the boom, like the sandwich, feel good though, but nothing that special.
3. The shoe tongue is way too thin, I fell same thing the lace not that comfortable.
Leather+ carbon plate it remind 2000’s Nike and adidas.
How would you rate these against the WOW 808 III? What’s better and why?
Used the 808 III last season to move on with the JB2 for this season: better bounce/cushion and better grip on dusty courts. Definitely an improvement. Really feel like a glove. Boom fibre is top, super breathable. Tried the AC12Encore before but with the leather in the forefoot too tight and uncomfortable. JB2 is a top shoe for hooping.
Hoop shoes are now taking notes from running models. Also, for the algorithm.
I think the Netflix adaptation was good enough. The feels were there especially during the part where Aang went back to the air temple and he saw Gyatso's skeletons..
Great review. Nice shooting as well... but to be honest we need to see the B roll with some misses. We know you don't shoot 💯.
He’s put plenty of misses in his reviews. We’d love to see your game clips though.
I like. Reminds of the Nike React
Not an anime fan sorry, however love the content! Keep it up 🤘🏽
Let’s go!
Shoe is amazing. Price point will be prohibitive for most. Good thing Li-ning has many good offerings at more palatable prices.
For the algorithm but for the B-roll song because I need it
I'm going to wait til those shoes drop in price. I'm very curious after seeing many reviews on the JB.
