    Kd13 is one of my alltime favourite hoop shoes the forefoot doublestack with strobal unit was amazing, still a midcut with tons of support great traction one of the best ive ever played in

      I hear ya, i agree, i liked your comment first and foremost.
      Having said that, They are real small jumps and he’s a smaller probably lighter guy i think. I don’t know how tall but he seems like a guard. Probably not too bad for him or he wouldn’t do them all the time.
      Plus, Sammy Takes one for the team cus he lets us know how it is IF we happen to land on our heels.
      Sorry for the long answer I’m high as fuggg

      It's just a demo bro. Nobody actually lands on their heels when jumping. There are players though who are heel-strikers when running or cutting.

      YES. He always talks about heel to toe strikes but you should NEVER do that. Thats why a lot of athletes cant stay on the court now

    @jrdatrackstar Před 8 měsíci +3

    The reason KDs have a forgiving heel lockdown is to protect his Achilles since he tore it (it's why the 15s have the heel bump). The 16s have a similar function without the bump to prevent the heel slippage, but if you crank the very last lace you're able to achieve amazing heel lockdown. It's really nice because you don't have to tie the rest of the shoe that tight but can still get amazing fit and lockdown.
    As someone who suffers from Achilles tendinitis I tend to lean toward KD shoes because they keep this injury in mind, all while still providing a enough lockdown that is adjustable based on your injury level. If you need your heel tightness a little more forgiving you're able to do that while still getting the level of heel lockdown you need, and vice versa if you don't suffer from the injury.

      @@menagex3543 must not be your correct sizing. The Kds do feel weird at first. I have a wide foot and was worried about the heel slippage and Kds historically running narrow. After the initial break in period and tying them correctly I never had any problems

      @matthewcallaway5223 Před rokem

      Nice bounce? Maybe Kyrie infinity, they’re super cheap and a nice and comfy shoe. If you want better court feel i would go 808 3 ultra
      The Wow 10 is an investment but i personally think it’s the best shoe out there

    I have watched your videos, but I still don't really know what shoe to get ( I am looking for a budget one, 120EURO at most).
    The DVD1 and the way of wade shoes are both recommended by you, but since I need to ship them over and probably cannot return them (I live in Germany) I dont really know if I should take this risk. Otherwise I really like the looks of the DVD1 and the price is also good (would bei 100 EURO with shipping included).
    So I think the only other options are the Nike Precision 6, Tatum 1 and Luka 1, right?
    Which one of these is the best one?
