Li-Ning Sonic 12: A Rare Miss

In this video we go over the Li-Ning Sonic 12:
Cushion is about average - they will be quite stiff on feet for a while until you break them in, Light Foam Plus + a little bit of BOOM is a decent setup but they have much better cushioning from shoes in the same price range. Traction works perfectly fine on a clean court, but is somewhat inconsistent against dust. The outsole is very durable and good for outdoor use however, and fit is standard true to size. Materials remind me a lot of the Jordan 37, which does not feel comfortable and offers no support whatsoever. Yes the thin upper make it extremely breathable, but comfort took a hit and you could end up having a lot of dead space in the toe box. Stability and transition are also not as good as they seem like.
I would personally NOT recommend these, especially compared to so many other excellent performers from the brand but let me know your thoughts on the Li-Ning Sonic 12 in the comments!

Thoughts on the Sonic 12??
🟢 Breathability, Outsole Durability
🔴 Material Comfort, Stability & Support
Thank you for watching!!
The traction has the same case with the Wade Shadow 5 cuz you need to break them in. In my experience the pinching also depends on the foot shape, so if you have high instep then definitely don't buy these. Comfort was ok it reminds me of the Kobe 8 tongue, but more plasticky uppers in general could be resolved with thick, cushioned socks. Support was ok not the best as you expect from a light shoe but definitely better than the Precision 6 support. Been playing these outdoors and yeah they are really good I felt fast and the court feel was like playing on flippers which was like the OG Kobe 8. Cushion is better on the Fission 9 but hey, it's slightly better than the Giannis Immortality 3. Its price here in Asia is definitely cheap like I could get these for the retail pricing of the Nike Precision 6 (75$) or even lower (62$). You really can't complain cuz they went to the budget route while still being a great performer for the price.
Great video as always thank you for the review Tommy
🙏🙏
They can't all be winners!
Silhouette similar to GT Cut 2.
A miss by li ning is unheard of!! Sad to see they followed he jordan 37 route. Great vid!
Thank you as always!
Can we get a review on Anta Three Point Rain 2? By the looks of them they seem nice.
Hey Tommy, great content, thanks for your dedication to the channel. I'm currently looking for shoes and wanted to ask for your recommendation between these ones: the wade 808 3 (non-ultra) at $136usd, the li-ning speed ix premium at $105usd, and the AG4 at $125. I play as a guard, mostly at indoor courts and those are my options now (prices include shipping to Argentina). Thanks a lot :)
Hey, thank you! 808 3.
Hey bro could you do a review on the AR1’s I know they came out a while ago but I’m interested in having your opinion on them. Keep up the good videos.
Hey, thanks man will do 👌
jumpshot looks nice
So many upcoming/new releases/ from li ning/wow. Li ning yu shui 18 ultra, li ning liren 4,, upcoming wow 11, upcoming son of flash 2, upcoming li ning gamma. Honestly too many shoes. You reckon you'll review all the upcoming ones?
Yeah
im looking for a shoe that has a wide toebox but with great traction. I have the Dame 8. The shoe fits great but traction is terrible.
Would you recommend the harden 8 or Lebron 21 considering if I play on courts that are usually kinda dusty?
LeBron 21
Hi tommy i play in very dusty court what would u recommend the gt cut academy freak 5 or luka 2
Hey. GT Cut Academy.
Can you review li-ning jie ao please 🙏😅
Straight "no"!😆 Can you recommend a few wide/flat foot friendly shoes strictly for impact protection when jumping? Got a pair of 2WXY V4 and AG4 but they're kinda bulky.
AE 1, Fission 9, GT Hustle 2.
Those are the CJ McCullum PE. Can you review the Li-Ning CJ3?
👌
@@TommyLiu4 thank you, ✌🏿🏀
2nd, and great review.
🙏 thanks man!
I have another question before I buy some new outdoor basketball shoes anyways what should would you recommend for a fat guy? I already asked this but I want to know what shoe you would recommend. I am 6’0 234
Will make a best for outdoors vid - TWO WXY V4, All City 12, and most Adidas shoes have good durability.
Hey bro can you please make video on top 10 budget shoes ,🙏🏻

Yo i wanna buy a new pair should i get sonic 11 or sonic 11 v2?
As allways keep up the good atuff
Don’t have the V2, 11 is good 🙏
@@TommyLiu4 thx anyway i think v2 is similar but the upper is boom fiber. The sad thing is i cant get the green colorway if i buy the v2 lol
When will the kai 1 review come out
⏳
Tommy have you seen the new wade flash shoes on way of wade?
Yeah video coming up
Awesome! Looking forward to it
hi tommy
cosmic or freak 5 for Center ? tks
Hi. Freak 5.
Better do a review on the new son of flash tommy! I only trust u with reviews bro
Roger that 🫡
reciew the cj 3 pleaseee
For the Wow 10s when u said go 1/2 size up are you 100% sure as my lamelos I went 1/2 size up and they were a bit too big
Yes
Well if you have narrow feet, true to size should be fine also. It all depends on your foot shape and preference, I would never say that I’m 100% sure about the fit for others…
@@TommyLiu4 So if i have have regular sized feet just go 1/2 size up
@@blitzz6042 Yes
For a reference I always go TTS with Puma Melo’s, but WOW 10 I needed that half size up for sure.
Yo bro. Tetum 1, jordan 38 or all city 12 cant decide😅😅. Tatum 1 so cheap and the 38 is on sale to around the all city price. I cant just buy them all either 😅😅😅
All City 12
@@TommyLiu4 alright i guess All city 12 is contending for shoe of the year now lol
@@Chavanun555 Well in those 3 you mentioned, durability the All City’s beat the other two by far so that was the deciding factor to me.
@@TommyLiu4 ah alright man they similar price as well. Going for either the pink or lakers one then. Thanks bro
The sonic line hasn't been good for me .the only good thing has been the traction. Maybe I'll try the Sonic 11
Yeah 11 is much better than this one that’s for sure lol
Still waiting on the 361° dvd2
👌🙏 Played in them for the first time today actually, very impressed this time!
Son of flash 2 would be nice
Coming up 😁
Waiting for SOF 2.0
🫡
Dang too bad, they look fire tho
Looks like they tried to copy the gt cut 2. They forgot that shoe was bad 😅
😂😂
Take a wrong step today, buy the shoes and then watch your vid 😢 hopefully its not that bad 😌
Can you please review an Indian brands shoe known as nivia warrior 2.0
1st
