I played in these the other day. While the cushion is stiff, after about 20 minutes, it breaks in and becomes softer and bouncier. Traction is pretty elite so no issues there. Lockdown is good as well. It’s definitely a chunky shoe and you sit lower in the shoe than you’d imagine from just looking at pictures. While not the best basketball shoe, it has earned a spot in my rotation. Great honest review as always!
Looks way nicer and smoother than the previous one.Almost good enough for a formal event with black jeans.For step in comfort you could use the move or spenco insoles.
I bought the high's for casual/fashion. I genuinely like them aesthetically. The fit, weight and comfort for me is definitely an improvement than the first one. However, I think the looks of the first were better, but ill be on the look out for the drose one if that comes out. I was able to get them for 30/40% off when adidas did a cyber Monday sale boo boo and did not exclude these
We’re with Jodi! While going slow can sometimes be awkward with the in-laws, it’s vastly superior when it’s just us because I enjoy the relaxed Christmas atmosphere and seeing my wife’s reaction to my gifts. We opened gifts one at a time as kids too.
Great review! I was able to get both the low and high tops from the Adidas Cyber Monday sale going on sneaker twitter (probably was a glitch). Bit of a headscratcher of a shoe(s). As you say, the "premium suede" feels like straight up felt. The eyelets on the high tops do not go up quite as high as on the low-top so I don't get quite as good as lockdown as the low tops (like isn't it usually the reverse?). The strap on the high top feels like purely fashion to me. Did not feel like it helped with the lockdown. I'm a wide footer and went up half a size on both, but the rubber sidewall that comes up the lateral side completely shreds my pinky toes even when just walking. Don't think going up a full size will help but instead introduce heel slippage. I had the first version and I do feel like Adidas FOG has improved here in some areas but it's just not quite there yet. Definitely more comfortable and a bit more breathable. For the QOTD: I was an only child for most of my life so I didn't have to compete with others opening presents LOL.
Since you mentioned the Aurora insoles aren't really for torsional support, would the Move Gameday insoles still be better when looking for support? Or is there not that much difference in that aspect?
The 1st model was definitely more of a designer basketball inspired sneaker, I own the all white pair and I don’t think I could hoop in those just too stiff. I’d love to get my hands on the D-Rose pair for the 2nd model.
Definitely a better look than their first iteration with Adidas at least. Interesting how the Nike one seems like it was more playable (at least from what I recall,) but also felt they were pretty clear on it being Basketball inspired, although they also marketed it more as a Basketball shoe haha.
I really like these for look Jordan’s are uncomfortable and I love them so why not buy these you said you got a 9.5 in these do they run small like the last ones ?
The upper reminds me of those basketball Yeezys. Although I suspect the Yeezys are more functional tbh. 😅 Also, the traction is definitely gone after a week of street walking. Not sure where these fit in.
More curious about the insole, surprised that Chris introduced/promoting something other than the Move insole. Maybe explaining why is for another vid 😁
We review performance products and footwear for consumers. This new insole is a solid option for those that want what it offers and don’t mind the price tag.
I really like the look of the first FoG basketball but wasn't going to pay resale prices, these are ok but don't look as good imo, maybe next time, 3rd time the charm?
Definitely not for me but everybody is different. Like the outsole but that's about it. Another great, informative review though. We're taking turns and pictures are being taken to commemorate each present opening. Not so much a fan, but we'll remember when Grandma got those new hand towels.
Eh…. 🤷🏻♂️ Yeah, my family’s Christmas traditions were like Mrs. Wing’s. Although….. when we’d go Christmas gift shopping & my parents would buy us our gifts, we know what they are cause, we locked them out. My mom would still wrap them. That same 😊😍 Woolf still be there come Christmas Eve. In my family, we got gifts to open on Christmas Eve and gifts to open on Christmas Day. Jordan’s and or any sneakers I’d get are for Christmas Eve. Toys/clothes etc, Christmas Day. 😊👍🏼🎉
QOTD: Total free-for-all. If I wanted Yeezys, I'd just buy Yeezys. But I don't want Yeezys, so I won't buy Yeezys... or these(-zys). Thanks for the review! Catch you in the comments on the next one.
The previous version was more aesthetically pleasing, I don’t play basketball so I won’t be interested in either anyway. As for the QOTD, I prefer everyone just opening presents at their own pace, waiting on one person to open one is weird and makes it feel like there’s pressure to react a certain way
The first pair look great but are unwearable as I bought tts. This 2nd iteration don't look anywhere near as good, like a watered down version of the 1st pair.
Test out the Aurorra Super Insoles: go.weartesters.com/aurorra
I would but still enjoying my Move insoles. Any reviews on them?

Bro it's so hard to find people who are balling in these. Seriously thank you man. Were you inside or outdoors?
@ I play indoors. I swapped out the insoles for my Move All Day insoles fyi.
Did you go true to size or up half a size?
@@williamdottin3815they’re tts if your normal width
@@williamdottin3815 I did go up half size because rear collar padding is quite puffy.
Best sneaker channel on TH-cam - no questions - no debate
This is when you miss Swaggy P on the court, he was a crash dummy for random hoop shoes lol. Him and Agent Zero
😂 so true
Those Yeezys
I saw Arenas wearing Air force 1s after Adidas cancelled his contract
the drose pair is fireeee
Looks way nicer and smoother than the previous one.Almost good enough for a formal event with black jeans.For step in comfort you could use the move or spenco insoles.
Been waiting for this review from you
I think these look much better visually than the first. Those flowing lines look much smoother than the hard three stripes from the predecessor.
I always appreciate your honestly and detailed information on the construction materials of the shoe
I bought the high's for casual/fashion. I genuinely like them aesthetically.
The fit, weight and comfort for me is definitely an improvement than the first one. However, I think the looks of the first were better, but ill be on the look out for the drose one if that comes out.
I was able to get them for 30/40% off when adidas did a cyber Monday sale boo boo and did not exclude these
Those Aurorra insoles are intriguing, moreso than this shoe
We’re with Jodi! While going slow can sometimes be awkward with the in-laws, it’s vastly superior when it’s just us because I enjoy the relaxed Christmas atmosphere and seeing my wife’s reaction to my gifts. We opened gifts one at a time as kids too.
Yeah I played in them. After break in they’re pretty good. Nothing insane for the price but it’s cool. It’s like a “sleeper” basketball shoe
These shoes were made for megachurch pastors to walk around stage on Sunday.
😂😂😂 spot on
joke is even more funny since they are called fear of God lol
😂😂😂
I was waiting for this review 🙌🏽
These are growing on me

The 1s were in sale for 50% off during black Friday. For the price they finally made sense, still don't think ill ever take them on the court though.
the insole seems interesting, i might buy one but i just bought a baseline bundle
Since you mentioned the Aurora insoles aren't really for torsional support, would the Move Gameday insoles still be better when looking for support? Or is there not that much difference in that aspect?
The 1st model was definitely more of a designer basketball inspired sneaker, I own the all white pair and I don’t think I could hoop in those just too stiff. I’d love to get my hands on the D-Rose pair for the 2nd model.
Looks wise I think they are pretty nice. Like you said though, the previous version looks better.
Glad they ain't popping easier to get
Quick question : how about the front of the shoe? I tried the first model and due to the pointy shape my toes were hurting after just 1 minute.
Definitely a better look than their first iteration with Adidas at least. Interesting how the Nike one seems like it was more playable (at least from what I recall,) but also felt they were pretty clear on it being Basketball inspired, although they also marketed it more as a Basketball shoe haha.

These fit true to size in my opinion
The upper reminds me of those basketball Yeezys. Although I suspect the Yeezys are more functional tbh. 😅 Also, the traction is definitely gone after a week of street walking. Not sure where these fit in.
Question of the day have either of you used victory insoles for either basketball or running.
More curious about the insole, surprised that Chris introduced/promoting something other than the Move insole. Maybe explaining why is for another vid 😁

@WearTesters appreciate the response. Been following you since I still have hairs 🤣
@@WearTestersI was about to ask too & this is a most professional response.
I agree, and honestly, they look so 5 years ago in terms of fashion
they used to wear Jordan 1s and new balance 550s on the basketball court so I’m sure these can be worn to play basketball
This looks more functional than the 1st. I’d say better attempt, but they could do better.
Awesome review as always. 👌🏽
Open presents one at a time is traditional as it gets, would always go for the bigger presents first though
I never noticed until now but the back heel thing reminds me of a bunny tail.
With the lineup that adidas has right now are these necessary? But if these are somebody's jam then so be it
I really like the look of the first FoG basketball but wasn't going to pay resale prices, these are ok but don't look as good imo, maybe next time, 3rd time the charm?
Also we're a one-at-a-time-thank-as-we-go christmas present household...
Adidas did it again without a doubt sneaker of the year 🎉
I watched your video on the VRL 85 highs and there selling for $150 now
Definitely not for me but everybody is different. Like the outsole but that's about it. Another great, informative review though. We're taking turns and pictures are being taken to commemorate each present opening. Not so much a fan, but we'll remember when Grandma got those new hand towels.
Since D.O.N 6 has a collab with Haribo what would your dream candy sneaker collab be?
Thank you Chris 😊
To me it looks like something you could find at Shoe Carnival 10 years ago
Both / and
Everyone kinda opens up one at a time but at the same time
I hate the one present one person it’s chaos 😂😂
I love the basketball shoe reviews
Are they dark brown or black colour wise?
They are dark brown.
Man, I thought the V1 was pretty comfortable. I actually wear em all the time. Not for basketball, but just casual wear.
Free for all is is fun Christmas chaos everyone scrambles to the tree and tears open their presents 😂
great smart reviews.
Eh…. 🤷🏻♂️
Yeah, my family’s Christmas traditions were like Mrs. Wing’s. Although….. when we’d go Christmas gift shopping & my parents would buy us our gifts, we know what they are cause, we locked them out.

Jordan’s and or any sneakers I’d get are for Christmas Eve. Toys/clothes etc, Christmas Day. 😊👍🏼🎉
Mrs Wing is very often right, but the one present at a time play is just not it. So much pressure on the entire endeavour.
Question of the day:
Which countries have you been to?
Which countries or places that you want to visit?
Opening presents one by one is torture. It must be a free for all!
What was the absolute best Christmas gift you guys have ever got?
Thinking the same for fashion
QOTD: Total free-for-all.
If I wanted Yeezys, I'd just buy Yeezys. But I don't want Yeezys, so I won't buy Yeezys... or these(-zys).
Thanks for the review! Catch you in the comments on the next one.
Thank you for the review of a high price walking shoe . The first ones look better.
SB PS8 please and thank you
I’ll rock em as a lifestyle shoe these ✨
They look better as a lifestyle shoe, imo
They going for the Mexican pointy toes boot look
Need that hoodie
Those look nice!
If I were in your home I would wait to everyone open their gifts and then I would open all my gifts at one time.
The previous version was more aesthetically pleasing, I don’t play basketball so I won’t be interested in either anyway. As for the QOTD, I prefer everyone just opening presents at their own pace, waiting on one person to open one is weird and makes it feel like there’s pressure to react a certain way
*They look better than the high tops.*
Much better than the 1st one... I sold my pair from last year! It's a nice street/fashion kick!
Those Aurora insoles are way more interesting than the F.o.g. sneakers.
Chris, make a shirt with a pic of an insole and under it mention (it is a piece of ****) 😂
I think these shoes look really cool but ain’t no way in hell I’d hoop in them
Nice review😅😅😅
These are dope
🤔 My purchase history says I can be a sucker for a useless strap. 😅
I’d rock these over Jordan’s
Yesssssss
"What?!" 😂😂
That looks like a lifestyle shoe...👈🏽
4algo but damn 89$ insoles 😂
I look of the first one is much better in my opinion
These have put the fear of God in my wallet for sure.
Gabe Vincent wears these on court.
Free for all
I like that shoe there dope
Gabe Vincent have been playing in these
Anybody but him
Turns!
The first pair look great but are unwearable as I bought tts. This 2nd iteration don't look anywhere near as good, like a watered down version of the 1st pair.
I really want to like adidas but I just can't
👍
4d algo
I don’t think any real basketball player is going to look at these and think they’re a basketball shoe. These are just basketball fashion.
did they copy kanye?
Ref shoes
still not a basketball shoes in my opinion still lifestyle, good attempt they may get it on the third try
Yeezy 700 v4
Take turns watching each other
The hightop is horrible. Couldn’t even get my foot in the damn thing. Immediate return.
For the Algorithm
Take turns
I dunnnnno…
YZY
1 looks better
