Absolutely, although I don’t like the fact that the prices are also getting inflated like the big brands. Lining and Anta used to be very cheap but it’s not the case anymore.
@@underoath257even 361, which is a budget option, has the big3 future which is way overpriced. That's more of an outlier among 361 but yeah, slowly getting more expensive.
Nike, maybe. I'm liking the new releases from Adidas and New Balance. I just can't justify spending the same amount of money or more on Chinese brands.
One of the best looking sneaker out now! But if they are comfortable in addition to their appearance, they are definitely some of th3 best choice to buy a pair
3:45 so when you unboxed these Luca 3s, did you actually physically SEE an XDR tag on the shoes or no? Do you actually remember taking the tag off? Because not all Jordan PF versions actually come with XDR.
Hey tommy glad you got this vid out of the way! been wondering why this hasn't been out yet haha Will you make a video of your personally often used shoes and why they are your go-tos? There may be a difference from your best shoes vs the actual shoes you like to play in (could separate indoor and outdoor if you have!)
hey tommy, I'm thinking of copping either the 808 4s or the ac 12 encore, which do you think is better in general for bounce? is the 808 worth the price increase? or should i go with lebron 21 for around 150ish cad? Thanks!!
Hey Tommy, been watching through alot of your reviews and was just curious why you have not revied anything from SPO and if you would? Just curious is all.
@@NugenEnigma Hey. I’ve explained it a few times briefly during previous videos. 1) It mostly has to do with me being a very particular diehard Kobe fan. 2) As a Chinese guy myself I feel embarrassed seeing a blatant copycat product like that, since that’s what we’ve been notorious for. It’s more of a personal thing that I will never put one of those on feet, but I’m sure they perform well and are nice people over at the brand 😃
@@TommyLiu4 damn… Luka 1 is my fav shoe atm but they’re kinda falling apart after 2 years so I gotta replace them. Would you same the dame 9 is a good option? I just need a good traction shoe that’s a bit lighter than the average and has a nice court feel, dont really care bout the cushion
@@yannisandrei3603 Nope I don’t think you’ll enjoy the Dame 9 as much it’s much heavier/bulkier. HESI LOW V2, Shock Wave 6, DON Issue 6, Freak 6 these fit your description well.
sorry for the unrelated question, but im looking for shoes as a center, who plays on mainly outdoors but also indoor sometimes. im keeping an eye on the two wxy v5 and the gt jump 2 with xdr. which one of the two would you choose or would you recommend something else? thank you!
I'm a heavy player I shoot, rebound, I can post up, I can drive but it's more like KAT slow and strong. Would these be good cushion for my weight? I very heavy on my feet
I've been looking at a few QD shoes, some of them are nice, but I can't get over the fact how a blatant knock-off the company is. So unless they have a rebrand, don't think I'll get any of those.
why do you wear your socks inside out. i've seen some nba hoopers do that and its a massive pet peeve. i have no idea why ppl are wearing inside out socks that shit dont do nothing for you.
Thoughts on the Luka 3?? Any other overdue homework from me? 🙏
Maybe update on book 1? Thinking to get the sunrise color way of them!
Lining liren 5 low
Anta Shockwave 6 Pro
Lining Sonic 12 V2
Which shoe $130 or less would you recommend for someone who wants to play quick and jump around a lot?
Is it just me, or the chinese market is much more innovative in basketball shoe department while mainstream basketball shoes are getting stale?
That's been the case for many years.

Hey man, I appreciate that you prioritize actually testing the shoes rather than trying to get the reviews out as close to the shoe launch date.
@@thomasstaton704 Hey, thanks a lot man!! 🙏
Not sure what to make of Luka's line at this point. Nike has too many budget lines these days, even though some of them are not budget-priced.
Thanks!
@@alandiaz2459 WOWOW thank you so much!! 🙏🙏

The design is very beybladesque 😅
Idk what that means but I’ll just like it.
Great description😂

NO WAYYY my man said garbage truck
T. Liu wildin
Thick, collects a lot of dust, gets dirty easily, sturdy and functional, comes around at least once a week (good rotation shoe)… 😝
@@TommyLiu4 LMFAO
heyy man appreciate the review. copped them for 80$, and they def. do feel light once broken in.
Hi! Appreciate your comment man 🙏🤛
Don't knowing why but I prefer your non signature reviews instead of your signature shoe reviews thanks
AG5 review, please 🥶

The sneakers look's dope sick
that outsole looks like an Anta / Lining AC12 pattern 😂
Did you say garbage truck?
Are you going to review the Kai 1 Speeds?👀
Yes
Shockwave 6 Pro review soon?

is it good for center?
how would u say these compare to the luka 1?
Very different. 1 was a very guard-oriented design while these are more of a generic option which fits me better lol

@@evan1190 I don’t have it sorry.
Yo can you review the Lining Super Light 2024 model
You should review Asics Unpre Ars 2 now that Yuki Kawamura is in the NBA
@@sebbensebbenandsebben691 I should.
Ja 1 ,wow ac12,mb.03 or lebron witness 8,kd 17,lebron 21 which would be best for outdoor among these or any recommendations among these price range??
All City 12
Inspired by the best car ever... the PT cruiser 😂😂😂😂
is that squeaky?
Yes

TWO WXY V5
Imo they missed the mark design wise on these. The 1 was fire but with brick like cushion, the 2 was meh design wise
I'm a heavy player I shoot, rebound, I can post up, I can drive but it's more like KAT slow and strong. Would these be good cushion for my weight? I very heavy on my feet

Yup
They need to get rid of that logo that’s it.
You want classic retro everyday wear styles? Hard to beat Nike and JB. You want performance? Don't go to Nike or JB, except maybe for running
Bump n grind
👊
Next up, kai 1 speed 😌
Luke shoes are so underwhelming aesthetically. Most of the Jordan brand shoes are meh except for the main line. So disappointing.
Not even Luka wears these 🗑️🗑️🗑️
