As a Defensive player, that "clunkyness" has a life saving stability factor. 100% of your reviews focus on the offensive features but never highlight how it helps players on defense. Can you please try to incorporate more defensive feedback on your PR's?
I feel better if someone in the know confirmed that these were supposed to be a continuation of the Kobe line. These have SO many similarities with the XI Elite. And for the price they're charging for a non-sig- doesn't add up!
I love these, I'm a bigger guard (heavy 250+ lbs) they have everything I need. Plenty of cushion, great traction and materials. They made me feel a little bit quicker. LOL
Best ball shoe since the Jordan 34, maybe better for Kobe lovers. Looking to stock another colorway down the track. I'd recommend getting the black colorway cause the white toe-box on white models gets super dirty and it's very difficult to clean without damaging the material.
I have this and it feels really good playing in it. It gets to that 13oz because damn you are locked-in in this shoe, your feet is protected which is awesome, and on top of that, the cushion is on steroids man :) . The heel is ok, you have the zoom bag to help you with cushion, the clunky part is to support your heel which is good, see kd's shoes now, it has a bit of clunky heel as well to protect his achilles. but to each his own i guess, it's not for all.
The sock thing is so true! It makes the shoe feel tighter than it is. Might not be a big deal for those with a narrow foot, but if you have a wider foot it’s annoying
FYI SB, the compression is internal in this shoe - you should know this cause the insole isn't attached to the shoe. The outside plates are there to provide stability around the internal compresison.
I've watched a few of your videos and your actually pretty biased when it comes to rating a shoe, but I don't blame you since everyones feet are different and everyone has a different style they like, so keep up the good work man. I come on here just to see what U rate in a shoes durability, and your pretty spot on.
Trying to get into playing basketball. Starting off with the Renew Elevate for my first outdoor pair, hopefully I'll graduate to these bad boys one day (indoors of course!)
DO NOT PLAY OUTDOORS, play indoor only. Why? For starters, the pavement will literally destroy your knees and back no matter what shoes you wear; Hardwood is more forgiving. 2nd: The 🌞 will toast you to crisp; You play with more focused and concentration and stamina in air-condition gyms. 3rd: The wind and elements will seriously mess up your shooting form; With zero wind and sun blocking your vision, you will know that your shooting form is where it needs to be indoor. Finally: You have a better chance of running into and playing with a pro baller indoor vs outdoor. Who wouldn't want to play with the pros? It's worth the indoor gym membership. You won't regret it!
The clunkiness could be for stability. Was just watching a guy from the lakers holding d and his shoe came off. I'm betting because the cushion couldnt hold the glue. I love comfortability and cushion but you definitely dont want it too soft or a bunch of cheap materials
@@lukecuts don’t worry about ur ankles, my best advice is work on exercises to strengthen ur ankles and increase mobility. U got more mobility with low cuts but strengthen ur ankle and increase the mobility
@@bandokazoowee1024 tbh with you bro, I’m not too sure how, I’ve had pretty strong ankles in general, I think working on single balance can help, stretching your calf will help, stretching your shins will help, increasing your range of motion of the ankle and the arch of the foot, this might help but I’m not 100% sure
I don’t know many of you run by slamming your heels down on the ground. With most humans (aside for Sammy), their running biomechanics have a heel strike more predominantly from heel/mid foot transitioning to toe off, not jamming the heel down to the ground.
I got stepped on while playing in those and the small swoosh on the front of the shoe was destroyed. I love the shoe but I'm really disappointed by the material Nike used for the swoosh.
Can you please do a review on the Nike Court Air Zoom GP Turbo? I know it's meant to be a tennis shoe, but I've heard people say that they are some of the best outdoor basketball shoes
It may sound strange but I've been using these shoes for running sinc last year and so far it's still is good condition but just the dark color has faded into kind of brownish after many washes 🤷🏻♂️
If i found a pair of these recently,and they have generic looking insoles,are they most likely KO ? They look nice,but i'm guessing they are,although i dont know much about KOs. Thanks for any help.
I was always interested in these when I first saw the images of it come out. Saw these in the Nike store and tried them on. Feels a bit heavy. Definitely a nice and beautiful shoe, but expensive though.
Jesus is coming soon repent and turn to him before it’s too late! He loves you deeply that’s why he died for your sins on the cross so that you can be forgiven through repentance and saved through faith in him alone ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Honestly I had the same question. I was deciding between Sabrina Gt cut 1 and the Kobe 5 dirty dozen and although Kobes are amazing shoes I decided to go to Gt cut cause lots of people say it’s worth it and tbh I rather get new shoes I never tried then getting the same ones but different color. Plus the Kobe line is coming back so we getting new ones for retail🤞🏽hopefully
One year in, the durability on these is trash 🗑 . My team mate has these, we play rec league. Despite only playing in door these have torn on the lateral side of his strong foot. He plays once a week maximum. No great.

Agreed. Basically all the reviews are thinking cushioning and heal to toe transition only.
I didn't find them clunky, but I'm pretty heavy. Top shoe of 2021 so far.
Honestly, most, if not all reviewers don’t ball like that.
He's 5 feet, 110 pounds, do you think that he plays any defense? Lol
@@shannondavis3338 I agree, these are one of the best shoes I've ever worn for basketball
I feel better if someone in the know confirmed that these were supposed to be a continuation of the Kobe line. These have SO many similarities with the XI Elite. And for the price they're charging for a non-sig- doesn't add up!
These were definitely supposed to be the next Kobes had he still been around.
Gave kobe vibes
PG5 or Clyde all pro which is better?
So true, they looks like kobes
@@asdruvalgalvez1156 all pro
Yeah but these weight 13 ounces...
I love these, I'm a bigger guard (heavy 250+ lbs) they have everything I need. Plenty of cushion, great traction and materials. They made me feel a little bit quicker. LOL
Did you go true to size or do they run small
@@bandokazoowee1024 went up half size but didn't need to.
Hey man, I know its an old comment but I still wanted to ask what you think about it right now because I have some problems with my ankles.
@@arkanabi67 I sold them, moved onto the JT1. I think the fit is crucial and J found that the KD15 was a better fit for my foot.
I know this is really late but I'm also a big that can run as a guard. I have wide feet so would you recommend going half a size up or true to size?

@@jrguillen4681 it’s low to the ground, same feel like most of the kobe shoes but with better cushion
do they feel light?
@@lucasgould658 yes, but not too light, I’d say on the average of those light shoes.
@@jrguillen4681u
The sock thing is so true! It makes the shoe feel tighter than it is. Might not be a big deal for those with a narrow foot, but if you have a wider foot it’s annoying
The cushion is really good, and that’s coming from a heavy guy. So I can only imagine how it feels on a slim person.

Nike should sell these React Insoles separately...
Facts. They might
Trying to get into playing basketball. Starting off with the Renew Elevate for my first outdoor pair, hopefully I'll graduate to these bad boys one day (indoors of course!)
Start with the bb nxt, they’re like 70$ on sale everywhere now. So much cushion and support
@@tbfit7808 I heard they have bad support though is that true?
@@sw0re0 great support for me! I’m a bigger guy and need the support and these were good!

they need to add zoom strobel to the jordan 11 and remake the nxt 360 with it as well
Can’t wait for the GT Jump!
yay Sammy doing daily upload
I 100% agree on messing your sock when sliding your foot in the shoe.
how much taller do they make you?
@@jrguillen4681 around 1 inch
Get this man to 400k
Just bought a pair and I can't wait til they come in.
Bro im thinking ab copping but i never had a bball shoe that lowcut so im kind of scared ab my ankles
@@lukecuts I love playing in lows. Feel faster and more mobile.
@@lukecuts don’t worry about ur ankles, my best advice is work on exercises to strengthen ur ankles and increase mobility. U got more mobility with low cuts but strengthen ur ankle and increase the mobility

Could you do a kyrie infinity vs gt cut comparison video? Love the reviews
Can you do an updated video on the best outdoor basketball shoes to play in please🙏🙏🙏
I don’t know many of you run by slamming your heels down on the ground. With most humans (aside for Sammy), their running biomechanics have a heel strike more predominantly from heel/mid foot transitioning to toe off, not jamming the heel down to the ground.
Big man put more pressure on their heels but for me, as a smaller guard, I’m always on my toes
Another good review but I have a question, where's Don?
I got stepped on while playing in those and the small swoosh on the front of the shoe was destroyed. I love the shoe but I'm really disappointed by the material Nike used for the swoosh.
Damn
Nike always uses the cheapest flimsiest shir.
how much taller do they make you?
Sammy was chomping at the bit to talk about the cushion...hah
Can you please do a review on the Nike Court Air Zoom GP Turbo? I know it's meant to be a tennis shoe, but I've heard people say that they are some of the best outdoor basketball shoes
that's interesting, i wonder how outdoor tennis shoes hold up as outdoor basketball shoes
Hello! Will you still make a video about the performance review of Harden 5, DRose 11 on an indoor court?
Jesus Saves, John 3:16 amen 🙏🏾
It may sound strange but I've been using these shoes for running sinc last year and so far it's still is good condition but just the dark color has faded into kind of brownish after many washes 🤷🏻♂️
BRO what that’s disappointing to hear these are rare shoes they should be used for the right purpose, and your washing them 😢
@@BBasketball9002 Bro it’s India… you’ll have to wash it after few uses occasionally 🤷🏻♂️
Love the vid! Could you do Harden vol.6 vs GT cut!
the indentation once pushing on the outsole is probably a key indicator of traction. strobel like a rave are zonal soo idk conservative stuff lol.
I got kd 13 and they pick up dust rearly also the same for my pg 4
Great review
Hey man! Do U know when gt cut will be available in Europe (Poland)? :)
Man I'm waiting too
if your calling 170 dollars expensive youd be thankful cus they go for 700 now...
in my size they are all over 900
If i found a pair of these recently,and they have generic looking insoles,are they most likely KO ? They look nice,but i'm guessing they are,although i dont know much about KOs. Thanks for any help.
Does the shoe chafe the Achilles?
It's terrible that you can't find these anywhere outside of the resale market just a few months later. Nike smh
I don’t like the look, but I love the tech
I’m a post/big in basketball and I’m in 8th grade and need some new shoes just looking for an all round good shoe. Got any suggestions?
No
Lebrons r pretty good for bigs
Did Nike ever sell this in the US or when I look it up it says that it comes out in July 2022
Aye early kind of early gang

Please do the pop in the intro again!!!🙏🏼😭😭

You're not meant to heel strike anyway.

Please bring the OG Snap and Pop back
Yo we need a gt cut vs cosmic unity
I'm looking for an outdoor shoe.. that has crazy bounce and traction.... what do u sugges
Honestly, lebron 16’s are great for outdoors
Would u recommend these shoes for major outdoor use...
just use any other shoes don’t waste 170$ for these amazing shoes , any basketball shoes work for outdoor
Which one is better on cushioning between this and zoom bb nxt?
Gt cut vs the Clyde all-pro?
When will they release in the uk?
Bro I’m considering getting then from overseas there’s no info on them for UK release
@@kazkilla1 :(
Pls do top 10 budget shoes
Pretty early gang if you ask me
The new Kobe's?
Can you review the nike renew elevate 2?
Compare these to the Kobe ad nxt 360
If I’m 11 is a 10.5 going to fit?
These soo expensive and rare to get now like 300 everywhere
Should I get Kobe 5 or Gt cut I’m sg
Honestly I had the same question. I was deciding between Sabrina Gt cut 1 and the Kobe 5 dirty dozen and although Kobes are amazing shoes I decided to go to Gt cut cause lots of people say it’s worth it and tbh I rather get new shoes I never tried then getting the same ones but different color.

Im the first one here
I wear size 11.5 kyries cuz of wider feet, what size should i get my normal shoe size i 10.5 us
Do they run big or small
Gt cut 1’s make anybody else toe bleed?
does it have good ankle support
No such thing as “ankle support” I roll my ankle in highs lows and mids even ankle braces
Do the GT cuts. Run small?
Great question
is it same fit as the pg4?
OUTSOLE DURABILITY here will be absent.
GT Cut vs KD14
I’m waiting on the G.T Run
gt jump here.
Thank you for not using those outside
I play a ton of Basketball. cool video.
Can I buy by them off of you ?
Hi i was wondering if I wear a 10.5 in the pg 6 and it fits really well, should I get 10.5 in the gt cut as well.

ye early gang
This is fucking great!

9:53😂😂😂😂
Alien?😮
it picks up dust cuz u gotta break in the rubber on the bottom of the shoes
they looks like kobes
I’m glad I didn’t cop those I thought they would be light and I feel you on the clunky heels Nike be fucking up smh
You’re missing out. These are the closest things to new Kobe’s. Gonna be a hell of a sneaker
@@tbfit7808 only thing stopping me is the heel let me know how bad it is I don’t like hard bottoms I liked the kobe 6 bc how soft the heel was

Hello everyone
No sane man would land on his heel, as an athlete you are not supposed to do it
All shoes pick up dust 🤦♂️😅
Some do more than others which is what he is comparing
Kinda looks like a running shoe
