Much appreciation Tommy for being on top of this one! Always clutch to get some first hand takes this early for a lowkey release since wide sizes sell out pretty fast. Straight GOAT moves!
The green pair are dope what’s not to like about that color? Thanks for The review. Also good to see they’re selling in wide versions. Told all My bball friends about the hesi low 2s and your positive review. Will be getting mine shortly!
I'm liking this strategy by NB of making v2 versions of their shoes. As long as they don't go overboard with it like the Chinese companies do at times.
Yes I think some Chinese companies wayyy over do it… V2, Pro, 2.0, Ultra, Premium, Elite… It’s strange though cause this is really the 2nd model of the line but they named it this way instead.
Tommy 🙏🏻 ... if you could in basketball POV ... make a review with Asics latest top tier products, Metarise 2 and Sky Elite FF 3, they are for volley balls but I strongly believe the tech inside will provide a beast on court for basketball too ... some say Metarise 2 is GOAT level like WOW 10, and Sky Elite FF 3 is a beast too 😮
😅 ... and thanks because of your Asics Nova Surge review, I'm starting to add Asics into my bball collection too 🔥 I feel all the benefits that you were stated in that pair 💯 ... I don't care too much about mainstream brands 👍🏻 but if it were a good product and beast on court 🔥 I will give the credit too 😘🙏🏻
Tommy thank you for what you do. Wish you had a link (international one) so NB knows your review lead to my purchase Thank you for being a reliable reviewer
Hi Tommy - I am a 6'1'' asian guy, wide footer, size 13US. My favorite hoop shoes of all time are Jordan 29 and Kobe 6 because of the comfort. Is there any hoop shoes right now that has similarities to Jordan 29 and Kobe 6? THanks in advance and more power!
@@bananafritters2883 Hi! I’ve never had the 29. Kobe 6 you know it’s hard to find an alternative tbh, one of the GOAT shoes to me for sure. And thank you!! 🙏
Good stuff as usual man. If the neon green was a little less obnoxious I honestly would have liked this colorway. On sale I have to think hard about it especially after this video. New Balance has been putting out elite performers one after the other but honestly most colorways are ass lol. Tragic as the silhouettes have potential, but they need new guys on the colorways team lol
Great video! I got mines but i am feeling a pain in the interior of the ankle where the laces are tying, maybe it is a size bigger? Or maybe my feet is not for the shoe ?
How is the lateral containment for ankle sprainers? I just got the shoes and noticed they don’t have the widest base. Any issues in your opinion? Always enjoy watching 🙏
@@redhawk.mp4 👍 All City 12 is really really good too. I think if you’re planning to use yours outdoors at all, then you would need the outsole durability of the All City’s.
@@TommyLiu4 thanks for the reply, im only planning to use it indoors and since the traction on the hesi low v2s are very good i was considering switching
When you lace your shoes. Why don’t you slide your foot all the way back so the heel touches the back of the shoe. It’s been years of me watching you do that, and it finally got to me where I had to say something. That helps tremendously with lockdown.
Wow, that‘s really high praise…I hope they’re gonns make a cleaner colorway. How do you think these stack up against the NB Two Wxy V4? I know some people call that shoe perfect, too.
I am 12 wide. I loved the two wxy v3. I bought the hesi low v2 in a 12 wide and compared it side by side. Hesi has a narrower toe box. It was uncomfortable enough for me to return. The overall materials didnt seem as nice as the two wxy either. I thought the overall fit wasn't as good, but if fits you and you want/need a wide low top theres really only two options. Hesi low v2 and kawhi 4 in 2024 so far. Otherwise I'd consoder li-ning or anta for superior quality and tech.
@@TommyLiu4 do you mean the rubber or the upper materials as well? Curious how well you feel the outsole would deal with outdoor courts or straight pavement
@@megazillia Mostly the outsole. I’d consider this more of an indoor shoe, probably keeping mine for indoors only so I’m really not sure - don’t wanna just make speculations.
Hi Tommy, i had the kawhi 4 because of your review, now that i have the chance to cop these in Aime Leon Dore colorway should I cop these and return the Kawhi 4 :( i really want to keep but but I had to go. The only problem I have with Kawhi was heel slippage but not a deal breaker since its rare that something fit my flat and wide feet that well. HELPPP!!! 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻 Much appreciated man.
@@TommyLiu4 oh wow, will look into copping the encore thanks! Keep up the great content and have great day, you're one of my go-tos for hoop shoe information 🙌
Hey @TommyLiu4 I'm a US Men's size 12 with a 4E width and kind of long toes. Should I get a size 13 in a 2E width🤔? I usually get a 12.5 in every shoe, but I don't see that size available.
No 12.5 no go. What’s New thinking. Kawhi shoe do come in 12.5 so I got those. They are adequate performers but not on par with the top shoes of 2024. I’m simply not going to pay attention to NB and ASICS. It’s a waste of my time. Now back to 361, ANTA, Li-Ning and Nike.
@@oldboysfreshkickz 30. I don’t do it on purpose I have a digestive disorder. If leaving one in a video every now and then gets many a laugh, along with one or two old haters like you, the decision is pretty obvious to me.
@@TommyLiu4 ahhh not a hater mate, asking a genuine question. I have Crohns so i know all about digestive disorders. Its an odd thing to do is all, you do you though. All the best, you are good at what you do.

Equally as good. Can’t go wrong with either one in my opinion.
Can it be used for outdoor ball?
These look 🔥🔥🔥… I seen a video of the two wxy v5 those seem really interesting. But overall what you rocking with the v4s or hesi 2??

How is the fit in these? I wear an 11 in all Nikes and a 10.5 in adidas and way of wade... so what size should I go with?
TTS, 10.5 but it’s tricky based off your description. I’m 10.5 in Nike, 10.5/11 in Way of Wade, 10 in Adidas - 10.5 in New Balance.
How similar is this to the two wxy v3 and does it have the same sizing as the two wxy v3?
Yes, quite similar actually.
