Top 7 Worst Tractions for Basketball!

[@lukekotz2813]

0- Fall on your ass
5- some dust, a bit of sliding
10- god mode

[@achair9801]

11- Kyrie 2

[@kyyowa129]

12- kobe 9

[@TheGabischmidt]

19- kobe 11 Elite low

[@kyyowa129]

78- roshe 2

[@carterhutchins5996]

Gabriel Schmidt kobe 11 elites have awful traction what are you talking about

[@lewisjs]

Every time they say another shoes I just hope that it's not mine lol😂

[@cheickobean6399]

Lewis Shaw which ones

[@lewisjs]

If your asking what shoe I have it's the Kyrie 3 uni red

[@thelegend3793]

That's the best traction possible, other than the Kyrie 2s, but you're never gonna hear anyone complain about the Kyrie line about traction. Cushion is a different story lol

[@lewisjs]

DawgsOnTop but I used to have Kyrie 2s

[@youravgpenguin6048]

They said the dame 3. But I love that shoe. Especially the traction

[@TheG3arsGod]

how are the hyperdunk 2016s on one of your best traction videos and now on the worst traction video???????

[@tungdang9144]

Alex D different rubber

[@vizualwarrior129]

Alex D also the cushion... Holy crap the cushion on that is so good and comfortable

[@crypsle590]

it's called life...

[@josephmcrae3892]

Mind your own damn business

[@dwade53123456]

Dude i have the regular version and after breaking them in (like a month) the traction is litterally crazy good. Crazy bite.

[@abdullahimam2263]

do 1v1 vid?

[@suganipz2176]

Abdullah imam yeah that'd be cool

[@Snagger23]

I think Sam would win.

[@urieltoledanes8301]

Abdullah imam Don will just posterize Sam!!!!

[@elitegabet2498]

Abdullah imam plz do that

[@ManThatAlexJT]

They did but low-key defense on review of Crazylight boost 2016

[@slamandjam2]

Nightwing said in a recent video that an inside source told him that Jordan Brand updated the rubber compound on the newer Jordans including the Lows. Maybe you guys should try out the next Low colorway to drop? Apparently it takes a day or 2 of breaking in

[@abbasahmad1358]

dope vid... im carrying the spurs

[@MarceloFuraBolo]

Kawhi Leonard true

[@teyannaharvey2439]

Kawhi Leonard is this really you

[@bustermcthundernut]

Kawhi Leonard I love you

[@paulstanley4831]

Kawhi Leonard I am subbing to you I absolutely love the spurs, Kawhi is the best player in the NBA

[@nate1127]

Why would you actually believe that it's dumb

[@FitbySenna]

Crazy explosive one of the worst tractions? Idk what court y'all playing on but mine is very good

[@jrcusu]

They play at 24 hour fitness

[@Numbers21589302]

The warriors Blew a 3-1 lead i didn't have any problems on 24 courts even

[@mariogarcia7869]

The warriors Blew a 3-1 lead they lost me on that, although they been saying Crazy Explosive has had a good traction in the past, now all a sudden it's one of the worst? what??

[@Dany-gd5em]

can someone tell me is the traction on the crazy explosives good because i think about copping a pair

[@mariogarcia7869]

Dany bro I hoop in them all the time since like December. they still my #1 go to shoe

[@rubenjimenez7287]

just do 1-5. You guys suck at grading traction on YOUR OWN scale. Ex:" Stepping on to the court was total shit I slipped right when I stepped on the court and broke an ankle so I'll give it about a 7 out of 10"

[@JVAGunner]

Totally agree bro,these guys have ZERO knowledge about basketball sneakers,should have watched kickgenius of nightwing

[@rubenjimenez7287]

JVA Gunner Yeah I like to watch multiple opinions on shoes so I watch them too. At first I really enjoyed watching these guys but they're so dumb I'm stopping

[@JVAGunner]

Yup bro

[@bladesuto1141]

Shut up! There doing there best and they're the best shoe TH-camrs

[@mosaabguled9982]

Blade Suto *KickGenius....

[@gabonayers7739]

you guys need to do a top ten colorway for the Jordan 31

[@vincymbongo2985]

The traction on the soldier 10 was great for me

[@vincymbongo2985]

I only slipped on very dusty courts

[@FitbySenna]

Yung jeezy they overreact allot

[@vincymbongo2985]

The warriors Blew a 3-1 lead Exactly

[@Michael35675477]

It wasn't a problem for me but I have the color way don has

[@vincymbongo2985]

Mine is translucent

[@pengchen24]

I had KD9 in solid rubber, and the crazy explosives in translucent rubber, they both performed pretty damn good. Also had HD 2016 low in solid rubber, they are average, but not that bad.

[@mattnel1902]

I read that the newer Jordan 31, like the royals, have a new rubber compound on the outsold so it is much better.

[@joshmoore1859]

Video starts at 2:12

[@user-bw7oj2dg2b]

Super agree on the Jordan 31, I had traction problems when I make cuts and accelerate. You don't know when the traction will give up on you. I watched jimmy butler sliding on these in the playoff game. That definitely proves everyone's concern.

[@simonohlsen280]

How i would rank tractions:
0 - the shoe is almost unusable cause of its traction.
1-3 - the traction pattern is noticebly bad and significantly lowers your performence.
4-5 - the traction is decent at best but you still dont want to play in it.
6-7 - a good traction pattern that works on most dust levels.
8-9 - almost perfect, has almost everything you could want from a traction pattern.
10 - the ultimate traction, works perfect on all indoor courts and dust levels.

[@jarryfromwagga5985]

7:05 LMAO

[@tristan7135]

Waitin On That 1v1 😬

[@tayedwards600]

Word

[@kevinlee6734]

Maybe the tractions shit on hyperdunks and crazy explosives cause y'all don't clean them jawns and don't ACCOUNT for use

[@Jacob-fi5gi]

no, the crazy explosive traction is ass. I have them and they can't handle really any courts

[@j_flosi704]

I remember you guys were back at 20k subs! Great to see you channel grow which is what you guys deserve with all your hard work! Keep it up😀👍

[@marcoscruz6104]

Curry 3's are pretty damn good on outdoors, I've played on these about 4-5 days with sessions of around 3 hours and they bite to the dusty outdoor court. Durability is good, little sings of wear on the pivot point

[@iamgrant]

DO NOT AGREE WITH CRAZY EXPLOSIVE! Those shoes are beastly, I agree they are not good outdoor shoes, but indoors, even with dust, the traction is beastly

[@ivanespinoza8962]

ya bro change the grading system 🤙

[@A--lex]

the crazy explosive does frase off but just a little once you break it in then when the first layer is frased off it wont frase off any more and it sticks like glue

[@alexgehrmann9540]

I have curry 3s with gum bottoms and they are the red Santa’s and they work great on dusty courts with the gum bottoms.

[@darrylgerardfontanilla8644]

I don't think there are any sole that keeps itself 100% perfectly clean without getting any dust, except if you use them on NBA courts.

[@lancevinculado4599]

Great to see them listening to their subscribers and responding to it quickly!

[@andreanyimah6183]

The Sole Brothers hey you guys great vids. I think you guys should make a Nike Id and review what shoe you pick and what it has special that stood up to you

[@raheemamir3657]

Try the 31 lows, Jordan brand said they changed the compound and now it breaks down and is actually consistent

[@aaaron3329]

The hyperdunks are good when I played on a clean court, but my school gym is dirty af and I was hella sliding

[@Klep.1]

U guys are so underrated GREAT youtubers

[@eboooo]

Hyperdunk 2016 flyknit has a strong outsole. It's stronger outsole than most of my other shoes translucent or otherwise.

[@infinatekermit5236]

For some reason the jordan 31's traction is like the pg 1 for me.

[@DallasYT]

Great Video! But I play on a KD 9 with a white out soul and I quite liked it, may just be the red out soul. Plus I play on very dusty court

[@johnkim8245]

I don't have a source but Nike acknowledged the J31 traction problem and changed the compound with the lows.

[@therealnoodles7638]

Crazy explosivr PK 2017 has the best traction on clean and dirty court on any shoe i've ever had. the navy colourway. I feel like ya'll really played on the shittiest court in America

[@technivision2879]

Idk what KD9's you guys are wearing but every court I've played in with those shoes they've stuck like glue whether it be dusty, bad finished, outside, etc. Weird lol

[@toad_slayer1493]

Dust gets stuck on traction and still has bite = horrible traction 🤔

[@rainne-]

??? curry 3 never slid for me, i used it for about a good 3 month, i play low grade so i get shitter courts and they are full of dust, i still do fine, maybe because you wear them correctly or its your feet?

[@Rikuzyou0521]

I have dame 3 and it’s actually good traction on dusty court in my opinion. But the shoes kinda heavy and too thick outsole which is actually good cushion

[@rsncj6871]

I used my crazy explosives16 for outside play and the rubber towards the to is gone and the platic support on the inside of the outside is gone in the front

[@user-my4sy8br1d]

I have the hyperdunks and i think that they have the best traction i have ever felt

[@deodelacruz2922]

hi everybody. i just bought a new nike fly.by low. i used it in an indoor game but it doesnt squeak or produce sounds that shoes produces when people use it. i think all brand new basketball shoes produces that kind of sound. any thoughts? i hope someone shares theirs. thank yoy

[@everyonelovescisco]

I have 2016 hyper dunks all black and they have not lost grip and I have been playing in them for 4+ months

[@jabari9771]

I have the 2016 Flyknits and they have amazing traction...

[@tunitoilolo539]

Thanks man. Always enjoy your videos. I appreciate and respect and trust your grading system

[@undercookedsoup]

Air Jordan 31 traction is so fake I play basketball all the time with the 31's air Jordan lows don't have any traction issues don't slip at all on really dusty courts

[@Omega-sr1fj]

Whalemart Manager same

[@arnavbatra1252]

i think u should change the grading scale to give a better idea of how good or bad the shoe is because when the minimum is six ti is hard to really tell and appreciate how good a show is until you actually go to a store and try it on.

[@philipcainjr8021]

What crazy explosives y'all playing in mine hold up in dust both y'all got clean outsoles or what

[@toad_slayer1493]

According to nightwing Jordan brand said that the newer J31 colorways have a different rubber compound

[@tayedwards600]

yea they do bro.

[@deezon]

Nike zoom evidence is a sleeper shoe, I've never slipped, comfy as hell, looks amazing, I've worn it everyday since I got them, no problems. I've worn it outdoors and indoors, As a big man for my age, I've never had any complaints about cushioning, guards at my school wear them and when they do the crazy ass crossovers and shit at training and lunch they never slip or anything.

[@elijahdelacruz3204]

Well, I play in my KD 9 both indoor and outdoor. Up to today, the traction hasn't worn out, which is really surprising, because I put a lot of force on the traction when I'm driving to the lane. Indoor, no problem, cause I play on a clean court, and it stops on a dime. But, I played on a really dusty court once, and I was sliding all over the place, so overall, traction on the KD 9 is great, as long as you're not on a dusty court

[@ranieldulnuan5007]

Good work guys..
Really helps me what to buy
And what i need..
Keep it up..

[@kobejd44]

I don't have a problem with the Hyperdunk 2016 or the Dame 3. I don't know why, my court is probably pretty good

[@familiamelgar1426]

I have the LeBron Soldier 10 and I have no problem whatsoever with the traction. Plus it has the icy bottom. Just saying but great video guys.

[@theaccountthatisntused2957]

I think the system should become more of a 1-5 or even 1-3 scale, 1-10 is just too specific for your needs. I've seen comments complaining about the grading system, so I think just​ changing the boundaries would help!

[@TheSoleBrothers1]

+The account That isnt used ok thanks

[@redriverrattlers8214]

jordan 31 low vs harden vol 1 which one should i get?

[@quinlindo4209]

How about rubber outsole hyperdunks? the Hyperdunk 2016 Paul George

[@chrisg7289]

y'all said Hyperdunk is one of the best tractions but now y'all said it is the WORST. I'm Confuse.

[@naethanparedes4469]

Len Gab they talking about the ones with flyknit and translucent soles,but the solid rubber soles are great

[@SpencerOnYT]

Please do some more "Does it still Basketball" with the Jordan 11-14, I've heard there about as good as the 13s you reviewed.

[@timshammm]

Soldier 10 worked amazing for me. Actually my favorite pair rn lol (great vid as always!)

[@christopherchan9792]

Is a rubberized court considered outdoor?

[@sindrisnr3426]

The traction on the Curry 3 is very very good! Also on dusty courts! Work great for me on dusty courts!

[@pty_foto]

The 31's rubber compound got changed many months ago. I have the space jams and they are simply great. Way different compared to the banned or shattered. Maybe you guys should try one of the newest color ways so you can be on the same page as the people that owns newer pairs.

[@uchihasasuke7436]

I have heard that the lows are good from nightwing

[@christianphillipampoloquio6484]

Is xdr shoes fake? My classmates told me my shoes were fake because it had xdr tag on it

[@SpecialBrowny74]

They actually changed the translucent rubber compound in the lows so I picked up the black pair with a pink fade and mine stuck pretty well. I also have the black cats and those are durable but don't bite as hard as the lows. The traction still isn't the greatest in the world but the lows are my favorite shoes rn every aspect is A1 the only downside is B grade traction but it isn't awefull IMO. The mid translucent sucks though I agree with you on that

[@SpecialBrowny74]

Doable not durable my bad haha

[@redriverrattlers8214]

so would you say that the heel pillows on the black cat or the traction on the lows is more worth the money?

[@SpecialBrowny74]

for sure the traction in my opinion, the ankle pillows are nice but you cant beat traction imo without that what is the point of the shoe?

[@M0nstuh]

my favorite is still the crazylight boost'16 hopefully they make a updated upgraded module

[@robertosaucedo8119]

Hey, I have a doubt, I've got Kobe Mentality 2 and I'm currently doubting about the traction.
I saw the performance review on these ones but I don't feel them very squeaky.

[@Alexlegusta]

got the kd9s yesterday for under 100$ should i have went for the kobe mamba instinct instead?

[@adamcarrillo209]

depending on what you need, if cushion is something necessary for you, you did well

[@seaneas7054]

can you guys performance review the Air Jordan 1 30.5

[@jaxtonfisher3782]

Jordan 31 is the best traction I’ve ever had and I play on a dirty court idk if it’s just bc I wear grade school but it doesn’t slip and i have the banned color way

[@kendrickcaldwell12]

I don't know about the curry 3 I played in them for a YMCA a game yes dust did get to it but it still got the job done and they do not clean the floor

[@isaiah_hoops2386]

yeah I have the curry 3s and once it gets dusty that shoe is bad

[@TitusTTG]

I know this is late but the Lebron 10 soldier has very good traction. I play on a dusty court at my rec center and for the first few times I played on them I slid a little bit. After playing in the Lebron 10 soldiers for huge amount of time the traction became even better. I feel like for every show it depends on how much you play in them because that will break down the rubber.

[@justintoledo4817]

do best highcut basketball shoes year 2016/2017??

[@victorharrison164]

Jordan brand has said that they have tweaked the rubber compound on the Jordan 31. So the new releases of the Jordan 31 past the Georgetown colorway has a tweaked rubber compound. So I think it would be a good idea to re-do the performance review on this particular sneaker. and try the low-top and hi-top versions of the shoe because the compound has been tweaked.

[@redriverrattlers8214]

do you have them?

[@victorharrison164]

yeah h
I have the pair they have and the Georgetown colorway. There is a noticable difference, the traction is better.

[@redriverrattlers8214]

to get the low or mid is the heel pillows or better traction more worth it

[@gavingolosky6203]

Number one should easily be Under Armour Lightning 4s, one of my teammates has them and we were running suicides and he literally slid into a bear walk position

[@jackgladstein4128]

Are pro bounces as bad as crazy explosives?

[@Jamesao11]

3:02 the only reason why the hyperdunk 2016 sucks for traction is because you play outdoor and here's proof

[@SuperGabriel286]

HEY SOLE BROS WHEN YOU WILL HAVE A.REVIEW AT LONZO BALLS SHOES

[@DrTrinh92]

Can't remember where I saw it but Jordan said they messed up the compound in the early 31s and changed it for the later colours. Edit: check nightwing2303 Jordan Brand classic PE review

[@lavarbigballer9604]

These are the type of dudes to show up at your Rec running games with y’all and their only jobs are to pass and grab the boards! Lol

[@yassintn3510]

Is the jordan melo m13 are good for basket ball

[@DCDannyEfilms]

Yeah I have the jordan 31 and use them outside instead of inside

[@leyuimage9129]

Is there a shoe that doesn't get dust on it!?

[@victorjimenez5903]

1-5 would be more simple and easy to follow.
1. Horrible, unplayable
2. Pretty bad
3. Average, not so bad
4. Pretty damn good
5. Perfect, no complaints

[@JohnNelsonSaxophonist]

I got the 31 royals and I like them. Traction actually broke, unlike my black cat 31s, but you guys make your own decision, I won't try to make yall do something but it may be worth a shot.

[@redriverrattlers8214]

so the royals traction is better than the black cat?

[@kellyh6400]

they changed the rubber compound

[@k.g.mcustoms3091]

Last year I didn't know you couldn't play outside with my kd9s and disintegrated them

[@anandviswanathan5369]

+The Sole Brothers you cant complain about you slipping when you are continuously getting crossed up.

[@nikomoin7604]

But Jordan said they upgraded their rubber on the lows, or atleast nightwing said that

[@samdemoss2191]

I had NO issues with the crazy explosives with dust

[@heilpotato5443]

Jordan 31 low is MUCH better. I suggest trying it.

[@ajeff4730]

Don look like Eminem

[@takotaw8453]

Jeffrey Alvarado how

[@apretarded7248]

Jeffrey A you be looking at a fake ass Eminem then

[@sharonharnish3545]

How tf

[@basicbodybuilding]

Lol maybe vanilla ice

[@luigibros.5527]

I hope they know that almost all traction attracts dust just because it attracts dust doesn't make the traction bad, adjust your expectations. There's a video where you say that the Brand Black traction sucks but Nightwing2303 says it's an amazing traction, there's some sort of disparity between the two scopes. There's no way two users get such drastic experiences

[@serenityinsilence]

Going into the 2017 season, yall said that the crazy explosive was an excellent shoe with good traction. Now it's on a list for 10 worst shoes for traction? I'd agree if your statement was solely about the durability. They actually have excellent traction, and are super comfy.

[@nate1prtx]

y'alls court must be terrible. the curry 3s taxi i never had any issues with traction and dust. same with the crazy explosive. great traction, just not durable in the long run depending on how you wear them

[@loganmarin7746]

I use the space jams 31 and they work great for me I don't ever wipe them

[@williamrussell7331]

My kd 9 zoom ripped the other day. Gotta take them back

[@TopRandom777]

the kd 9 had amazing traction for me and I had the translucent outsole

[@MichaelRockfez]

Do Walmart/GAP and stuff/Payless shoes.
