There is a loop at the last lace eyelet, try lacing through that loop instead. My guess is that'll fix the heel slippage. Please respond if it worked! Thanks Tommy!!!
Been waiting your review of this model before making the purchase, finally decided now to go with the pro instead. As always, your reviews are on point. Thanks, Tommy! Have you tried wearing well-padded socks to compensate the heel slippage?
tbh at over $200 i’d expect these shoes to do all the shifting and jumping for me 😂😂 Anta always makes insanely great quality shoes though. I owned the KT3s back in the day and they were the most solid pair of basketball shoes in my rotation.
Hey, guys! Will it be good for lifestyle use? What will be good for outdoor play and lifestyle: anta shock wave 5 pro or li ning all city 12? I can by them now by same price, need advice ❤
Yow bro, when you play the anta shock wave 5 pro does it not really remove the shoe on your foot when you play it since it's a low cut shoe. Thanks bro.
Is there an extra loop on the top for laces? I couldn’t tell from the video. I ordered these because I heard good things about them but now I’m worried about heal slippage. You’re the first person I’ve heard comment on that and that’s always been a problem for me with basketball shoes…
Couldn't agree more with you. Pale or not.. Being Asian myself, triple black shoes never look good on my feet regardless of what my outfit is 😂 Westerners can even pull off shorts with long sock and triple black shoes but still looking good.
How's the sizing of this one compared to the Kai 1? The Kai 1 is allegedly TTS (11 for me) since it's "wide foot friendly" but I wish I had gone a size up. Sadly they don't have the Shockwave 5 Pro in 11.5, do you think size 12 would be too big?
Yeah. I would only go up a half size on these if a wide footer. I just recently purchased 3 pairs and went up a half size(from 12 to 12.5) but changed my insoles or wear thicker socks and that helped any heel slippage and gave me good lockdown(no issues) Love them! But you are right, unfortunately no 11.5 :(
Sorry for being off-topic, but can you maybe do a separate video of your shorts? You plugged them in one of your recent videos, but I can't seem to find which one it was and was searching for a name/brand/link to maybe cop some of them. Maybe a link would be enough too? Keep creating goated reviews Tommy, absolutely crazy consistency in your reviews.
Yo Tommy Liu!!!! You got to get a half a size down in those and there won't be no heel slip. I know you don't like it but those have to be very snug in order to work right👍. I'm sure you know this and I know you're a wide footer but you might have to go as snug as possible so that has no sleeping in the heel
hey TommyLiu4 what shoe would you recommend, at any price, that has good traction and good insoles i have the zion 1s and the lebron soldier 14 i have a beater pair but i am looking to get a new pair
good decision of mine getting the regular version (in transit) aside from being cheaper ,it will lock my heels tightly, can't wait to play with it when it comes . anyway ty
Tomy liu we have similar foot size and shape, I also mostly wear 10.5 for almost basketball shoes I wear especially with nikes, but I'm tired of *heel slippage* this time I wanna take risk of going size 10 to get that snug fit, since we have similar foot shape do you think I can get away with going size 10? I wanna have a snug fit without the feeling by toes being folded real hard 😂
Sw5pro is very light, gives you good speed and no excessive weight dragging you down. Suited for faster play styles than the regular sw5. The traction of sw5pro new style triangle just like jlinsanity 2.0 same traction with sw5pro. Carbon fiber cushion. Minimum dust pick-up, the grip is nice and sharp and very squeaky also. Good for indoor and outdoor.
Way of Wade elite socks, Under Amour’s playmaker socks or their other performance socks, some Hanes Premium crew socks that I found at Target those are the best to hoop in to me.
Love Kyrie and his anti-VAX stance. Still rocking his Kyrie infinite in black/ purple and opal. Beautiful. I would buy this pro version on looks alone. About the same weight as a PG6 but not near the Precision 6 ultra light weight level yes?
i honestly don't like the shockwave at all the pros look ok to me but they are overpriced and in my opinion they are not great looking in my opinion for that price i would go with the nxt gens or the two pairs of shoes
I’ve watched a few of your videos and, although I appreciate your insights on performance, I don’t agree with your sense of style. I think you’ve been deluded with the crazy variations of styles released over the last decade. I don’t blame you as I believe this is a common thing among the younger dudes in their 20’s - 30’s. They just don’t know what good design and style is because they haven’t gotten anything good from the manufacturers. The colors and styles released over the last two decades have been propagated with ulterior motives and aren’t representative of good design, per se. That said, I think an Asian dude can certainly rock a black-on-black shoe and make it look good. I think you’re reading too much into the fact that you’re an Asian dude. Not all Asians are the same. Style is about one’s personality, not race. Rock what you like and are drawn to and don’t apologize for it! Be confident in yourself and what your style is because you’re unique and there’s no other person out there like you, my dude. Keep grinding! 💪🏽
@@TommyLiu4 you’re welcome, my friend. Thanks for not taking my advice the wrong way. Some others out there would be sensitive about it even though it comes from a good place in my heart. Wishing you the best of success!
These are a Premium Payless shoe. Fr. The cans are not worth it. Rather get Puma, Hardens, LBJs or Sab1’s. These are a heavy pass for the price and look.
since apple use the word Pro to their More premium Iphones. Lots of chinese brands follow them and used Pro to their not so premium products especially chinese brand phones, chinese automobiles, and now chinese brand shoes 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Thoughts on the Pro version??
🟢 Dust Pick Up, Comfort & Speed

can you send the link where you bought it for about 180 USD. thanks
Worth getting these or AC11V2?
Your sock game has always been strong tommy 💪
I love the way bro speaks so calming + concise
🙏🙏 Appreciate you watching man!
Let’s go been waiting for someone to do the pro review your the best ❤
❤️🙏🙏
Been waiting your review of this model before making the purchase, finally decided now to go with the pro instead. As always, your reviews are on point. Thanks, Tommy!
Have you tried wearing well-padded socks to compensate the heel slippage?
👍👍 Yeah I think thicker and more padded socks would help like you said.
Can you tell where you bought the?
“Even though I really don’t look good in triple black shoes as a pale Asian guy.”
I have never related so much in my life 😂😂
LOLOL 🤝🤝
Triple black actually fire.
Great vid.... the only thing I would give a warning when buying anta, is if u have a 4E, either really test out the shoe or go 1 full size up...
tbh at over $200 i’d expect these shoes to do all the shifting and jumping for me 😂😂 Anta always makes insanely great quality shoes though. I owned the KT3s back in the day and they were the most solid pair of basketball shoes in my rotation.
Yo Tommy Liu, I've heard one of the best aspects of this shoe is that it has a diving board effect built to the bottom. Is it the same in that model?
For Wide feet gotta add 1/2. I found it kinda hard on the the side parts both my feet.
For knee problem, I wont say this shoe is recommended.
Please make a review on Anta Alien 3.0 low. I cant find reviews on youtube. Thank you!
Anyone know where i can buy the ANTA Basketball sock that kyrie worn in the pic? like the Longer version ones
Hey, guys! Will it be good for lifestyle use? What will be good for outdoor play and lifestyle: anta shock wave 5 pro or li ning all city 12? I can by them now by same price, need advice ❤
Tommy do you think having a thicker style sock aka like a Nike elite would help with the heel slippage issue?
I think it would. Thicker or even double socks would be better than sizing down cause it is pretty snug in the toe box.
Yo!! Tommy Liu!!! Victory inserts will make that exactly like Kyrie has under his feet. And then no heel slip
Waiting for your review of New Balance Two Wxy V4 👊
Hopefully you can also review Xtep & 361 degree shoes
I’m 10.5 but I only find a 10 in online shops, I want it so bad can you suggest me to go for it even if it’s not my perfect size ?
i cant find those all black ones ANYWHERE

On this pair that’s it, tied to the top eyelet already. I had to buy a heel cushion pad to stuff some more room at the back.
i have this the regular,
worth it, good traction, loud squeak, cushion courtfeel, lockdown on ankle, this is so good. worth the price
Couldn't agree more with you. Pale or not.. Being Asian myself, triple black shoes never look good on my feet regardless of what my outfit is 😂
Westerners can even pull off shorts with long sock and triple black shoes but still looking good.
Sadly very true LOL 🤝😆
My son goes Rose and its so amazing. I tried to convince him on Black but he said the color like his school shoes.. lol
Recommended shoes for forward and drive

Hey Tommy, can the laces be changed? I just bought a pair and it looks like the bottom holes tie into the tongue.
Hey yeah I think so you can swap them to something similar you like more.

Is the impact protection very good?
@@kenjtv3466 Pretty good
I am size 10US in nike shoes because I have a wide foot. Should I order 10US in this shoe or size 9.5US? To avoid the heel slippage. Thank you Tommy.
10 cause toe box is already pretty snug as mentioned. You can try to fix heel slippage w/ socks or like heel pads.

No I won’t recommend it.
Where can I get them?
How do these compare to the new ac13?
These are better imo, very close / similar actually.
Nice.. but super duper expensive for a low cut and so many other options at that price
Whats the difference between the pro and the regular one,is it worth it to get the pro ?

Sir can I ask what size is your anta socks? M or L? Thank you.
L I think - can’t remember exactly though…

Can you review anta kt 9 please
Compare to wow 808 3 ultra is shock wave 5 pro better ?!
Yes
@@TommyLiu4 ok tys

Son of Flash
Any other socks you would recommend, possibly anything cheaper than nike elite
Way of Wade elite socks, Under Amour’s playmaker socks or their other performance socks, some Hanes Premium crew socks that I found at Target those are the best to hoop in to me.
Hey Tommy Liu, do you recommend these or the Kai 1’s?? Thanks
Hey, these.
Do you have to pay for duty? Buying from Canada
It all depends on how / where you buy it from.
What if I buy it from anta online store ?
Can u plz review the dame certified 2.0 new version
Yes
would these shoes be good with an insole or orthotic?
Umm should be good, I just haven’t tried any on these yet.
how is it compared to wow10 and jb1?
Better than the JB 1, not as great as the WOW 10.
Speaking of socks, what’s your favorite to hoop in?
Way of Wade elite socks 😃
Sabrina 1 review soon?
Still waiting for my Nike By You pair… been over a month lol
These are like the old hyperdunks with flywire
I hope you can leave the links for your socks as well 😂
Done watching ser Tom 👍👌💪🇵🇭
The price is too expensive, so I just got the Dark Matter instead
👍👍
Pretty cheap on kicks crew. Never used the site before though
these or harden 7s?
Honestly these. But they’re very different shoes in almost every aspect, this is much lighter and thus easier to use for me.
@@TommyLiu4 u recommend getting half a size up on these?
@@abe_mma2185 Nope true to size. Already a lot of heel slippage going TTS, def wouldn’t recommend half size up.
The sneakers are good, but not worth the price. I liked the insole.
the brand name isnt worth the price, but the quality is extremely high. I've seen them in person and felt the materials. It's top tier quality
Lebron witness 8 review pls
👌👌
@@TommyLiu4 thanks, great content
Aaron gordon 4??
Keeping an eye on them! Might cop a pair soon 🙏
@@TommyLiu4 Go down half or a full size if you can! They fit BIG!!!!!

Is kicksown legit ?
Yes
@@TommyLiu4 did you pay for duty tax when you ordered from them?

Should someone get the true size?

Should i get the same size as wow 808 2 regular? Or a half size smaller
I wear half a size smaller in these than the 808 2, would strongly recommend that.
its definitely a pretty version,.

Nice! Much lighter than the PG 6 actually so this Pro version is super light - it is Precision 6 level weight.
@@TommyLiu4 Wow now that's light! My Precision 6 feels around 317 grams a shoe. Those new Kyrie's are light. Great review.
Surely they can't be charging over 200 for these!
i honestly don't like the shockwave at all the pros look ok to me but they are overpriced and in my opinion they are not great looking in my opinion for that price i would go with the nxt gens or the two pairs of shoes
