Mine came in this week and they exceeded my expectations. Traction is top tier on dusty courts in my experience and they are very comfortable. They also look and feel amazing in person (much better than they look in pictures and videos), the materials are premium. 10/10 would recommend
Literally bought these just for a casual use shoe cuz I love the look. Very comfortable, really digging them so far. Haven't hooped in them yet, but will definitely give them a try on the court.
Might have to cop these. I really dig the simplistic look. My only concern is how the traction might hold up outdoors but I can totally see myself rocking them casually once it wears down which is a huge plus. Thanks for the review 🏀
The review i've been waiting for! Ur awesome man! Keep it up! I also went true to size with mine and it takes breaking in to get over the snug fit and mine is the solid rubber version and it also works great. It does pickup dust fast but simple wipe and youre good to go again.
I went half size up , I shouldve went TTS materials felt like its going to be softer the more I use it, but I just did the runners knot and felt much better
Love my pair. I'd add if someone prefer a stiff shoe, these probably won't be great for those people. I frankly am probably going to just wear these. They're lighter and more comfortable than Air Force 1's and I love the details and book theme they went with.
I really like how the show feels and the look is subtle but looks great worn casually. The construction is the biggest disappointment as there are inconsistencies in the upper and a few glue stains. Other than that I hope for more colorways
Ohh my guy ur vids are getting of more quality and the ending was awesome ❤ btw my Lil nephew also wants to buy Nike gt cut academy will u think there will be discount on it
Dig the vibe most important thing - feel that - never played in these chinese brands though with the tech, is it that noticeable / helpful to have a big 3.0 quick 5 pro rather than these? Love the look and vibe here but only going to have one pair of bball shoes
Nice review bro. Made me want to buy one. Can you tell how is the sizing of book 1 compared to kyrie low 5? If Im size 8 in kyrie low 5, what size do you think I should get with this book 1s? Hope you can answer. Thanks!!
Sir good day! I am here again hoping to enlighten me. Almost 2 years ago I asked you about the size/fitting of precision 6 and you said half size higher for wider feet and thank you coz I trusted you and it was correct. My wife surprised me with witness 8 after she saw me watching your review months ago and again the size is correct. (Half size higher) And here I am again asking you about the fitting of book 1. You said here that it is true to size... And my original size is 9. So does that mean I should pick a size 9 or half size higher again? I hope you notice and hoping for your answer... Thank you P.s my wife wanted to surprise me again and give me this pair of book but she ordered 9 1/2 based on the last 2 pairs. So pls help me so we can change the size if ever
@@TommyLiu4 thank you so much sir! Unfortunately they cannot change its size coz it will turn back to its original price. Hahaha gonna wear thicker socks then. Thank you again sir! And your reviews were really helpful to us. I hope to watch more from you sir. God bless always. -AFanFromPH
Also I have a size 10 that I use for just wearing out the haven color way the color way I bought for ball was the rattles back color way have more breathing holes.
@@TommyLiu4 yes! good thing I really didn't convince myself getting the harden 8 because I just don't like the materials of those man. feels cheap. I'm good sticking into my harden 7's.. I also have the KD 16's so I think im good.
Spot on review. Except I went up half size. Booker is not as good looking as Curry or younger thinner Luka. Tell wifey that. And if she thinks Harden vol 8 is ugly, tell her it’s not as bad as his beard
Pretty terrible for a signature shoe. Looks like the heel lockdown is not that great, I think I saw some movement when you were lifting your foot. Too many cons. Design is boring, no breathability. I'd rather cop a pair of WOW shoes in this price range with better performance and design.
📚 Thoughts on the Book 1??
🏷️ $140 USD
🟢 Material Quality & Comfort, Traction
🔴 Breathability, Toe Box Fit
🙏 Thank you for watching!!
To be honest I like the look but for me it’s a bit pricey for all the “tech” I feel like there are better options for a cheaper price
Too narrow. Nike is phoning it in and has been for a while.
Overpriced

Got me dying on “do you know he’s younger than you?”

I love how these look that I would wear them just as a casual shoe
The ending 😂

Was waiting for this one. Best bball shoe reviews on TH-cam.
❤️🙏 Thank you so much!
in 5minutes of time you stated everything iwanted to know about the shoe even the performance details and some entertainment 💯
🙏🙏
Solid review!!!

Leave a like if you think tommy is the best basketball shoe reviewer
That ending tho!! 🔥🔥 I got the shoes and I haven't tried them but I love the look
+1 for the ending. Dad jokes are levelling up mate 😂

Best shoes 2024, responsive, good traction, great cushion for guards position, stable maneuver.
Western soundtrack works….that ending fails so hard I can’t forget it! 😂😂. In other words good review!
🤛😂
I went half size up , I shouldve went TTS materials felt like its going to be softer the more I use it, but I just did the runners knot and felt much better
That ending caught me off guard. 😂😂. I lowered the volume immediately. Nice review. The feels more casual than a bball shoes.
😆😆🙏 Thank you!
Appreciate you watching til the end!!
That ending too funnny some Toronto humor
First, great content man!
Thanks man ❤️
Congrats ser Tom on your 47k subs.👏🥳
Thank you as always!

can you make video about best shoes for ankle support? thanks
Great to see the videos are still short and get straight to the point.
Would you recommend the ja 1 or gt cut academy for outdoor use?
GT Cut Academy
I really like how the show feels and the look is subtle but looks great worn casually. The construction is the biggest disappointment as there are inconsistencies in the upper and a few glue stains. Other than that I hope for more colorways
Tommy the 🐐
You da best ❤️
Yep goated reviewer 🐐
Love this shoe as soon as I saw the orange colorway but damn didn’t like this grey pair until I saw it on feet and it’s fye
Definitely started growing on me slowly too.
Ohh my guy ur vids are getting of more quality and the ending was awesome ❤ btw my Lil nephew also wants to buy Nike gt cut academy will u think there will be discount on it
Later on - most likely. Thank you!! ❤️
not sure if its too late, but the shoes are on sale right now for $75 for the white and orange colorway
Is that a San Miguel Beermen jersey, the one guy you were playing with?
Nice review btw, best in the business right now imo.
Thank you!! I’m not sure, I can ask him next time. 😁🙏
I just ordered my book 1 "haven" pair and they have translucent outsole I just hope they don't disappoint.
👍👍
@@TommyLiu4 oh well, they didn't disappoint tommy. happy to get a pair and now im copping the mirage v2 cw. they are great shoes!
W review man
🙏🙏 Much love man
Came for the review, stayed for the ending. Lol😂
Ayy appreciate you watching! 😆🙏
Been waiting for your thoughts on these bro, just bought mine. I'm from Asia and they release XDR version here🔥
Nice, there you go even better. 😃

@@mrsoap3 Quick Pro I would say is better yes.
I just wanna know wtf cant we get forefoot and heel zoom?
Tommy are you going to review the Zion 3 SE? They recently came out on Nike
Thinking about it! 🙏
Tommy how they compare to the puma all pro? They are kind of the same price here in my country
@@pedromtorres I would take the All Pro Nitro - but only in a translucent outsole.
Is that the mirage colorway? The release here in our country has a solid rubber outsole.
Yeah releases in different regions have different outsoles.
Nice review bro. Made me want to buy one.
Can you tell how is the sizing of book 1 compared to kyrie low 5? If Im size 8 in kyrie low 5, what size do you think I should get with this book 1s? Hope you can answer. Thanks!!
8

@@marvincentpagulayan1154 🤛 cheers man
Hey Tommy for a budget shoe what are you taking GT Cut Academy or Curry Splash 24?
Hey. GT Cut Academy
HELLO , Can I Book 1 ?
Chapter One?
LOL Chapter 1 is usually Chinese food for me, then I grab some salads, always ending with some hot waffle + ice cream for the last Chapter.
I am copping this soon in rattlesnake 🙏
Thanks Tommy.
❤️
Only way I'm copping is if they go 40-50% off. Lebron 21s can be had for $100 these days.
True. Patience always pays off with hoop shoes 😃
Yep. Lebron 21’s are deeply discounted now
Hey Tommy, would you say they fit the same as a Jordan 1? Or an Air Force 1?
Hey yes similar

Need help.. I can't decide between Book 1 ''haven'' or Ja 1. I am a shifty guard how shoots from mid range and I am 5''10 and 185 pounds!!!
Book 1
@@TommyLiu4 Thanks for the reply man! I bought the Book 1 "haven" and KD 16 "emotional pathways" and now I am broke as hell lmao
nice review which do you prefer? Ja 1 or Book 1?
🙏 Book 1
the shoe is great, maybe nike should make better colorways for the book 1

Hey man, nope absolutely not sorry!

Would you go with these or the Sabrina 2?
Sabrina 2

Nice casual dress style shoe than a bball
Can I “book 1?” - Tommy Liu 2024
Might change the game with a shoe you wear on AND OFF the court….but I could never do that to my hoop shoes
Same! I’d never wear my ball shoes out. Or if I do, I just don’t wear them back indoors again and I hate people who do lol
Just got these for $90 I wear a 10 but I got them 9.5 because I like my basketball shoes more snug
Tried both sizes on at store as well
Also I have a size 10 that I use for just wearing out the haven color way the color way I bought for ball was the rattles back color way have more breathing holes.
Rattle snake white ones ** ^
Got them bc they felt comfy to wearing them out
Mandarin restaurant? In Barrie ON?
Yes but not that location lol I’ve been to like 4 of them.
@@TommyLiu4 I think thats the one from ottawa close to the captains boil if im not mistaken.
Im size 10.5 J1’s do i get 10.5 also in this shoe?
Yes
These or puma mb 01? Thanks!
@@seancaayon7276 These
Nice to see real leather on a performance shoe, but of course there is a reason you rarely see that these days.
Yup well said lol
Does this fit the same as the sabrina 1?
Not really, Sabrina’s are narrower and a lot of people would probably need to size up.
that ending! Book em! kk
😆😆
Is it good for a flatfoot person
Yes decent
Should have named these the ankle turner 1s
they have really REALLY good support
😂 who is Nora and why did you sound so sad 0:48 😭

book 1 or kd 16 or harden 8?
KD 16

Better than GT Cut 3?
Very close. I like the GT Cut 3 slightly more.
