Tommy, there is a top eyelet on the shoe - it’s the silver band. I also swapped the insole with a Nike/NB running Ortholite and then added my own cushioned orthotic. Got more cushioning and fits perfectly!
Bro. Your comment was a Life saver! Good thing i read this. Now i can hoop in this kobe 8 shoes with peace of mind not qorrying much about my ankle. Thanks!
I went true to size with mine. It's was a good fit. Lockdown was very good. You actually have one more lace outlet, which is the strap that goes all the way to the back of the shoe. You can insert your shoe laces there :)
I got these pair last sept 1 (initial release here in Ph) And yes it is true you have to go half size or 1 size down :) And for me, crazy 8's way better than other adidas kobe shoes that they re-released
A year later and I just got a pair in this colorway, a few weeks ago I got the white, purple and gold, both in size 9 (went half size up) and fit very nice. Crazy One and Top Ten 2000 went TTS (8.5 US) the former fits very snug and the latter fits nice but shorter than the Crazy 8. Top Ten 2010 went TTS and fits like the Crazy 8 in size 9. Crazy 98 went TTS and fits shorter but has a little of toe volume. As always adidas being adidas with the sizing.
Hey Tommy. My son made it on to his high school team last season which is something I tried but couldn’t do in my days. Up to this point I’ve only gotten him $60 clearance Nike shoes. Wanted to reward him for his effort and get him something $200 usd or below. What is your TOP choice? Traction, comfort, and weight are his priorities. All indoors, clean and dusty courts, 9.5US, reg foot type. Plays guard or forward. Thx much. Love your content and opinions. Trip to Asia soon so international brands are just fine!!!
Hey, that’s amazing congrats to him! GT Hustle 2, LeBron 20 & 21 are the top choices from Nike to me. From Asian brands, Way of Wade 10 and Nova Surge Low from Asics. Cheers!
I recently got this pair for $64.99 for work. Put some Move insoles in them and I love it. I haven’t word Adidas in years and I like the Feet You Wear Tech. I have the other two original color ways coming that I got for a steep discount as well. I like the style and the feel.
Hi Tommy, you mention about the extra eyelet things. I think you can use the top straps on both sides of your shoes ankle area as a eyelet. Just let the shoelace go through the straps.
@tommyliu4 there is one more set of eyelets fir the laces at the top brother. Right above the second last eyelet at the top, it’s flat band instead of a hole
I went with a half size bigger, because I have to insert an orthotic. My Stance hoop socks are slightly thick, so the half size bigger helps. 🤝🏿 I won a purple/yellow guy old colorway, i found at a footlocker in H.S. $30 bucks in the back in a clearance box. Also owned an original black/white colorway, and and red/black colorway when we we're shutting down the rec center in college!!! Pull-up three on the fastbreak for the w-i-n!!! Just reminiscing. 😎💫💥💪🏿 A favorite indeed. This White/Black cop, will be another chapter of my now, 36 year old hoop training-self. #MambaMentality2024👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿☝🏿🌟
@@jonathanlai942 In the simplest term: much easier to use. Good traction, durability, bounciness - no pinching or minor discomfort from the upper materials. Both are great shoes though!
Even though I think the shoe looks great, I passed because of the price point, but at a discount I will be all over them. Not sure if I will ball in these only because I like them so much haha
Interesting! Are you in the US? I’m starting to think if it had anything to do with pairs made in different places - cause that’s a huge difference in sizing with the CAD label pairs.
Same. I’m a size 9 but my toe hit the top of the toe box with these. I returned them and went half size up and it’s much better. Definitely Go half size or full size up on these.
What’s the best non-Nike Kobe shoe?? ⤵️
adidas crazy 8s the best non Nike of cos 👍🏻
Crazy 8s easily
Crazy 8 no doubt.
Top ten 2000
Top ten 2010

This was my first basketball shoes in 2018 when I was in 5th grade. Man does time fly by fast! So cool to see this shoe in one of your videos!
I used them back in 1998 in highschool, best basketball shoes ever.
I think this year’s release looks even better than the OG - might cop that orange one!

The topmost cable is meant to be used as an eyelet. If you use it, your heel lockdown should become perfect.

And yes it is true you have to go half size or 1 size down :)
And for me, crazy 8's way better than other adidas kobe shoes that they re-released
Quality materials go a long way!
For sure!
They need to make a performance version of this shoe. Lighter and cushioned
That’d be awesome actually
They kinda did with the BYW boost
Miss U Kobe❤❤❤

I got true to size and I am definitely short on length. My toes are almost on the edge.
Great Video...Thank You...
This shoe makes u play on your forefoot... i agree that this is better than crazy1. My fave of the line is crazy97

Hi. Thank you!!
Is the ankle support good? Thank you 🙏
Yeah not bad
The checked board strap is actually an extra eyelet… just have to use the string tip to get it open..
The laces are supposed to go through the straps near the collar
Ahh thank you!!
Yo you gotta try the crazy 8 lows 🔥
Ty. It was inevitable. Where to see all the models 2000th made adidases? I had a cool pair in 2003 . Not Kobes but a cool one
waiting for the kt9 reviewww brother!! 🥳
@tommyliu4 there is one more set of eyelets fir the laces at the top brother. Right above the second last eyelet at the top, it’s flat band instead of a hole
Got it thank you!! Can’t believe I just found out about that 😅
I got the one with the 98 on the tongue
I had the originals and they fit like this retros (full size down) as you said!
Adidas sizing is usually all over the place
where to buy?
I'm at 10 and got size 10 and it's a little tight for me but I will stretch them out
1:55 mine fit right
The grey loop on top is the extra eyelet that's how I lace them too I also don't like huge bunny ears 😂
Hey tommy, immortality 3 ep or don issue 4 outdoors?
Hey. I’ve used the DON Issue 4 outdoors not the Immortality 3, that’d be a safe choice.
@@TommyLiu4 thanks love your videos tho
You didnt use the last lace eyelet which is the X part
Thank you!! I never realized until just earlier 😂
Try reviewing the li ning flash energy 2.0!
Can you review Li Ning Yushuai 17 low please. Thank you in advance 🙏🏼
Yes just got a pair 😃

can you review KT SPLASH V?
really confused about the sizing because Nightwing said to size up lol what size did you get in your Harden vol 7s compared vs these?
I went true to size with Harden Vol. 7. Try them on in store if you can 😃 To me this shoe fits full size down.
Try using the top straps as eyelets, that will take up the extra length of the laces and improve lockdown
Thank you!! 👌👍
Thanks Tommy, next time I'll read the comments section before I chime in! Sorry for being redundant
im true size 9US...
i went half size up to 9 1/2US ad it fits perfect...
even other youtuber advising to go half size up..
Interesting! Thanks for your input. I needed half size down or full size down for sure lol
@@TommyLiu4 Maybe there is a problem in sizing? I also watched a review that says half size or full size up!!!
Which shoe would you consider the best between anta shockwave 5, precision 6, immortality 3
Shock Wave 5
@@TommyLiu4 Oki thank youuu is it durable as well?
@@clifford54321 yes very durable
@@TommyLiu4 are there any shoes better than the shockesve 5 within its price point
Random question, fission 8 or 808 3 ultra?
Might be a surprise answer but Fission 8.
Why ? If you don't mind answering.

I just ordered mines from StockX at 9.5 for $70.Couldn't pass up this deal.
Q4sports LG9 such a good deal right now
LOL last time I checked they only sell them in bulk now right? Like 5+ pairs at a time
@@TommyLiu4 No, I do not think that is the case
@@dunsdonjone1537 Oh I see! I’ll give that a look then 😃
@@TommyLiu4 cool beans! hopefully I am not mistaken!
Even though I think the shoe looks great, I passed because of the price point, but at a discount I will be all over them. Not sure if I will ball in these only because I like them so much haha
True, kinda pricey!
These are the best shoes adidas ever created
I tried these on, and there was too much room above my foot for these to lock down properly. I wanted to hoop in these.
Yeah same experience for me. If not for the lack of a secure lockdown I’d love to put these in my rotation.
You didn’t used the last lace tabs , if you use it the lockdown is actually pretty good
👍👍 Thanks!
I bought it yesterday🙂
@@hankshen2431 Nice! How do you like them so far??
I had to go half a size cuz 10 was to small
What?! I had to upsize a whole size. I usually wear a 12 but had to get a 13 because they ran super small.
Interesting! Are you in the US? I’m starting to think if it had anything to do with pairs made in different places - cause that’s a huge difference in sizing with the CAD label pairs.
@TommyLiu4 yea, in US. Ordered from foot locker.
Same. I’m a size 9 but my toe hit the top of the toe box with these. I returned them and went half size up and it’s much better. Definitely Go half size or full size up on these.
There is another lace eyelet that is connected to the heel straps, so technically you didn't lace it to the top.
They do have extra eyelit at the top that you are not even using
Thank you!!
4 days no upload :/
Been 3 days post
I'm size 13 in all my Jordans and Nikes but in these 13 is too tight.
