THANK YOU for an amazing year! 🙏
Happy New Year & Much Love. ❤️
Where Can I get Pg6 now ?
@@romeojr.patricio7341 I’d say mainly check Footlocker site and stores, also Nike & other sports retailers. Here where I am they sell really well.
@tommy. I thought No More PG Shoes ?
@@romeojr.patricio7341 No more as in like they might not make a PG 7.
Ok ! But out of stock PG 6 here in the Philippines. 😔
i like the effort how you wear the socks of certain brand of shoes you reviews. that’s a classy move
thanks!! appreciate u noticing! 🙏😃
I only wear my Nike elite socks
Wow...2022 is almost over! Thanks to you, I was able to pick up really good shoes at a very good price. I also have slightly wider feet and somewhat flat feet, so I can rely on your reviews very well. Keep up the amazing content Tommy!

Happy New Year ♥ need that 10 budget shoes list ASAP
👌👌 Happy New Year!
Nice sharing ,Big like !💕👍
Nice video buds! What do you think about the best heel counter aka responsive shoes for a point guard to have?
Thank you!! All City 10 V2, GT Cut 2, Curry 10 & Speed 9 Premium are some great guard shoes.
as a fellow wideish flat footer dames shoes fit me best lol. got the blue semi translucent colorway of the dame 8s like you've suggested and they feel amazing
Nice! 👍👍
Top 5 or 10 best impact protection? Thanks again for the honest reviews and videos.
MB.02, WOW 10, Dame 8, TWO WXY V3 & Harden Vol. 6 would be my Top 5 for impact protection. And thank you!!
waiting for the budget shoes 2022 🔥
Thank you for the great video Tommy!! I would like to know if I should buy the MB 2s or the Lebron 20s. I am trying to prevent shin splints during this season. Which shoe would be better for me? And, what are the key differences between those two shoes I might need to consider before buying them?
Thank you! I think both shoes are good against knee pains - LeBron 20 has decent arch support & MB.02’s higher cut helps make them secure around the ankle. The LeBron’s are gonna be bouncier, but if you have flat feet the MB.02 is a very safe choice for extended runs. The MB.02 outsole does pick up a lot of dust, so that’s probably its biggest downside. Upper materials if you get the knit version the LeBron’s are much softer. Other than that both great performers really, no bad pick here 😃
@@TommyLiu4 So detailed even in the comments section. More power to the channel. Love your informative videos. Happy new year!
@@zenalien8620 Thank you!! Happy New Year 🎉🙏
Curry 10 for traction by a mile!!!!! Great vid, thanks.
True. Always a consistent traction performance from the Flow outsole. Thank you!
Thanks for the video ! Have you reviewed the peak flash lou Williams ?
Thank you! I have not. Those came out before I started uploading videos, but one of my favorite hoop shoes of all time though 😃
@@TommyLiu4 The Lightning version or the Taichi ?
@@pedromtorres Oh I meant the Lightning.
@@TommyLiu4 got u bro ! Might give them a try !
hey tommy ! Just coming back to an old vid to refresh. I am currently thinking of buying a shoe between : wade 808 2 ultra (solid rubber) or the new balance two wxy v3 ? what do you think
Hey. If you’re gonna be playing indoors only I think the TWO WXY V3 is a better shoe overall. Factoring in durability for outdoor use maybe the 808 2 Ultra. Both great shoes 😃
hey man what would you recommend for outdoor cemented courts?
also what would be better aj 36 low, zoom freak 4 or luka 1?
Hey, Adidas basketball shoes tend to be the most durable for outdoor use - like the Trae Young 1 & Harden Vol. 6 are good. Those 3 are very close, I’d pick the Jordan 36 Low as long as you don’t have wide feet and are okay with the fit. Otherwise Zoom Freak 4 is great too, Luka 1 has amazing traction but cushioning is lacking.
Nice Video, What were the outdoor shoes called that you said were technically from last year?
Thank you! Trae Young 1 I meant.
Guys what do you think which shoe i should go with option are dame certified,mb02,traeyoung 1 for outside court please help mess
It's me again bro, can you recommend an outdoor shoe besides Harden volume 6. Thanks❤️
Here’s a list for outdoors:
czcams.com/video/wbwrWqKiPz8/video.html
I need a decent cushion for my knees and impact protection but at the same time durability for outdoor courts which one would you strongly recommend?
still the Harden Vol. 6, best suits those needs in my opinion
Good day sir, I love it, GOD BLESS sir 🙏♥️
Thanks for this year Tommy ! What do you think about volleyball shoes ? They are very similar to basketball shoes. It would be interesting to see the top volleyball shoe Asics sky elite ff2 going up against the top basketball shoe PG6
🙏 Thank you!! I’ll look into that, maybe test out some non-basketball shoes for basketball, that probably makes more sense for me. I used to play volleyball during elementary and high school, but that was so long ago 😆 Don’t know much about what’s really needed, but I do think there’s a pretty big overlapse - like bounciness, cushioning & impact protection.
@@TommyLiu4 Yeah there is a big overlap, same with handball shoes and tennis shoes. But you can't review all the shoes of the world 😂
@@blobpoop457 Tru lol I’m always down to try different things tho so thanks for the suggestion! 🤝
@@TommyLiu4 i would also really love to see u comparing volleyball shoes to bball shoes. Specifically the ff sky elite shoe
Do you have a recommendation for a gaurd with wide feet and needs ankle support ?
Actually one that popped up immediately is the newest Trae Unlimited, very wide foot friendly.
Could you do a review of the Kyrie flytrap 5??
I’ll keep that in mind. But not so good performance wise tbh, there are much better budget options.
Do you think I should go true to size on lebrons 20's. I wear a 9.5 in puma MB.01
Yeah the LeBron 20 fits true to size.
Hey, I need help.
Should I get the Jordan 36, Kyrie Infinity or the lebron 20? I mainly play basket and volleyball so I appreciate good bounce and impact protection. What should I get?
Hey, LeBron 20.
@@TommyLiu4 Thank you, I'll probably get the lebron 20 then. Unless there's any other better shoe i fitting those criteria. Or would you say the lebron is the best pick?
@@kumy7050 I feel like the Dame 8 is great for volleyball too, good bounce and impact protection. Also some good deals going on now so a lot more budget friendly 😃 Otherwise the LeBron 20s are great for sure.
@@TommyLiu4 tysm for your recommendations
Should i get the dame certified or the nike pg 6? And what are some good things one shoe has that the other doesn't
PG 6, mainly just an overall more comfortable shoe. Full length React > Bounce. Both have excellent traction.
Besides having slightly wide flat feet,I also have heel pain after playing... any recommendation which shoe would be good for me? TIA
PG 6, TWO WXY V2 & V3, Harden Vol. 6 & Vol. 7
@@TommyLiu4 right on, thank you.
@@kdenbeaches808 👍🙏
I got the PG 6 last year and loved them. But can’t really find them anymore. Do you know any shoes that feel similar? I bought the Nike cosmic 2 and not a fan
Asics Nova Surge Low
@@TommyLiu4 I will give them a look! Are the lamelo mb2 pretty similar? They look like it. Haven’t been able to find a pair in my size to try on yet.
@@TheToddFather765 No
What are your thoughts on the MB 02 Slime colorway?
Looks dope, color really pops on the court. Same performance as the launch colorway which is great, translucent outsole has good traction.
That green sxxxx hard
I think zion 2 has better ankle support or support in general than mb 2. Great performance sneakers too!
Oh true good point. Zion 2’s a good one indeed!
Should i get the lamello mb02 roty or slimes
Shouldn’t be a difference in performance, both have that translucent outsole. I personally think the Slime looks better 😃
Brotha I'm in predicament
Would these beat your recommendations for outdoor (cushion + durability)?
adidas pro model g
lebron witness 7
These are on sale and as far as i can for durability the pro model g would be great idk about the cushion tho
The cushion on the lebrons are great as I heard but idk about the durability
You see my problem over here 😅😅?
(190 lb guard over here)
Never played in the Pro Model’s sorry, also haven’t used the LeBron Witness 7 outdoors so can’t comment on its durability. Either way for outdoors I’m pretty sure the Dame Certified / Harden Stepback 3 will be better options. 😃
@@TommyLiu4 gracias 🙏!
MB2 is my favorite shoe this year. Great traction, shock support for my shins, and comfort for extreme flat foot. Pg6 was runner up and impact protection wasn’t great.
👍👍 Yup no soreness or anything at all for my super flat feet I have to say.
are harden vol 6’s okay for outdoor?
yup they’re good for outdoors.
Hi. I’m a point guard and I want a shoe between luka 1 mb02 kd14 pg6 and kyrie low 5 which do you recommend??
Hi. PG 6 is still my no.1 recommendation 😃
@@TommyLiu4 after pg6 which is?
@@mrnumber1112 KD 14
@@TommyLiu4 1 pg6
2 kd14 after???
Can you do a review on the UA spawn 5?
Oh the Spawn 5 is out?? Wow didn’t know, will do thanks!
@@TommyLiu4 just came out today😂
@@zoquanlee6689 👍
What do you think about Cosmic Unity 2 ? Do you think they are worth to buy?
Tbh very personal opinion but I dislike the Cosmic Unity 2. Even after going up a half size, they’re still way too tight and the upper presses down on my feet too much so that it caused a lot of soreness. So to me they’re a pass. But for narrow feet, the full length Zoom Strobel is very bouncy and responsive.
Also traction is just average from my experience.
@@TommyLiu4 Thanks for your views man.
Happy New Year 2023 Tommy
Happy New Year! Much love 🙏 🎉
yes
How is the durability on the PG6 I’m a high school player who has to play indoor and outdoor,will the PGs last?
The outsole has decent durability I’d say.
@@TommyLiu4 so will I be fine on outdoor courts?
@@jameshewson9637 Yeah I think so. Again if you’re strictly using them outdoors only, then some of the Adidas basketball shoes like the Trae Young 1 have the best durability. But with the PG 6 it’s fine.
@@TommyLiu4 thanks so much
@@jameshewson9637 🙏😃
Was the traction winner given out in part due to their traction abilities on dusty indoor floors? I ask bc I definitely don't be playing on clean floors unfortunately
Yes
Performance on dust was an important factor
@@TommyLiu4 Thank you for confirming. I recently found your channel and look forward to more detailed content. Much appreciated!
@@tpro4853 Thank you!! 🙏🙏
Should i get the Dame 8, or the Dame certified? Because the Dame 8 is a really good price right now even under the price of the certified. So, which one should i get? Or any other shoes you recommend that's under $100
If for the same price then Dame 8. But the Dame Certified should be on sale in many places too, like I saw both going for 50% off. In that case I’d still take the Dame Certified for the amazing value, but the Dame 8 is a better shoe overall.
Where did you see them 50%?
@@TommyLiu4 I just like the colorways of the Dame certified and i don't know which to choose. Can you maybe compare the two in a video
@@aryfv_ Traction = Dame Certified; Cushioning = Dame 8. That’s basically the most important difference. On Adidas, but obviously it depends on where you are so it really just comes down to what’s more important to you, and their prices.
What do you look for more in a shoe
where can we get pg 6 from in canada
Footlocker
@@TommyLiu4 ok thank you
Where did you buy those shoes sir ??
Which one?
How do you afford to buy all these new kicks?
Yeah it is a big expense lol
@@TommyLiu4 I bet lol thx for replying. Great channel. I love seeing the new kicks reviewed!
@@jusone4271 Thank you!! Appreciate u watching 🙏😃
Can we get a category for comfort? Can’t forget about the cozy bois 😂
True! Best comfort I’d go for the PG 6 & HOVR Havoc 5. And the TWO WXY’s 😃
@@TommyLiu4 my guy! Thanks bro ✊🏾
Really love the content of your videos! BTW can't believe you're married, always feel like you are a graduate or a college student hhh
Thank you so much! Haha I’ll take that as a compliment 😆😆
@@TommyLiu4 Definitely a compliment!
ehh jordan 37 is perfect for me so ig it just just depends of the foot shape however their is some minor arch pain
Yeah for sure, it’ll def work for many just depends on the foot shape you’re right.
Best supportive ball shoe of 2022 in your opinion? I have glass ankles lol
MB.02 and WOW 10 😃
Harden Vol. 6 too
Thanks man
Prolly add LeBron 20 to the top traction but your list never disappoints. Happy new years!
True. Thanks man! Happy New Year 🎉
These shoes work with the Peloton bike+ (April 2022), czcams.com/users/postUgkxGPkov2mNjgZfG33r6Bwvies8jKE4AKZB and are of good enough quality. I have completed 10 rides so far and there are no issues. The first time trying to fit them on the Peloton bike took 10 minutes (even with the help of an experienced cyclist friend who wears the same type of cleats). It took a couple of rides to break in. After the first two rides there were no issues at all.
Is the dame certified wide foot friendly
Not really tbh
@@TommyLiu4 thanks

Nah you were 2nd
You're married? Dude you look young af. Whatever you're doing keep it up.
Yeah 😆😆 Thanks man!! Appreciate you as always! 🙏🙏
