Big thank you to www.youtube.com/@sneakrtweakr for helping us out for this review. Stop by his channel and show him some love.
Chris - Hands Down... You do the best sneaker reviews out there today and we really appreciate the content and detailed information you provide us. I've been a sneaker-head since 1983 and I can tell your sneaker knowledge runs deep and that is really great to see. Thanks for keeping us informed with the facts!!
I appreciate that!
I really love your honesty and that you always give a break down of the materials and insoles. No one else does it like you! ❤
Dang, I was excited. Now, I'm looking at these like a 'wait for it to go on sale' type shoe lol.
😂😂😂
Well said I feelexact same way
Honestly, they look like a "wait for it to go on sale" type shoe. I think all the players under 24 years old are on sale shoes
Yea see that ain't right, cause that's just his opinion, he should be a little more objective tho.....go try for yourself ✌🏽
In my opinion the jt1 looks like it'll have much better tech for around the same price
Was hoping it had more tech for cushion.
Awesome review as always. 🔥🔥🔥
Hi Chris, thanks for the video, very informative and direct to the point as always. FYI, the name of the colorway is called "Scratch" which happens to be his All-Star colorway (unofficially) then the black one is called the "Midnight" or the "12AM" colorway which happens to be a somewhat limited edition that was only released in the pop-up store in Utah during All-Star. :)
I love the honesty Chris provides in every video, I both respect and appreciate it. Thank you for another great review.
Our pleasure!
The more and more I saw this model, the more it reminded me of the kyrie 1. Still a great looking debut shoe for Ja
I really like the design and hope that this is a blueprint of how the shoes will evolve over time. I was honestly surprised by the stick zoom bag used, especially since they regular forefoot zoom bag was used in the PG1, at the same price point i believe? When you said it looked like a SB shoe…it made me like it even more. 🤣 The descriptive tech spec breakdown and little trinkets are why I come to WearTesters. All that vapid bs is available everywhere else. 💯❤️🤓❤️
Appreciate the shoutout guys! 🙌🏻 keep up the great work.
You’re the only sneaker head I trust, don’t ever change
Thanks for the review
Fan from Brazil!
love you guys!
Awesome content, I’m definitely waiting for retailers to get them so I can buy them. I was going to try and get them eat but after the review and knowing there’s not much to them Im going to patiently wait. 👍🏻
As much as I love my mb.02, I definitely need these for the basketball rotation. It's gonna be hard to choose these over the melos but these are hard to pass up. Such a clean silhouette!!
These are so cool! Interested to see what other color ways they drop. I prefer leather for sneakers but it’s good that there is an affordable option for a superstar player.
Totally agree that there will be more colorways to come and release and it will be accessible to all to buy a pair, no need to pay resell as much as possible.
I was thinking if it for you it reminds you of the Kobe 4 silhoutte in this Ja 1 signature 👟
Finally! I’ve been waiting for this. This and the Tatum 1’s
Can't agree with you here. These are two of my favorite players and two of the worst looking shoes.
Love your videos and the 80’s flashback vibes 💪 I’m an 80’s baby
Been wearing my Giannis 1s to the gym and they awesome , this looks like me new gym shoe to add to the rotation 👌🏽
I appreciate that you know when to use the word “resale” vs. “resell”
I’m your supporter because you said “Don’t buy from resell” I respect you man!
The pigeon sound was super impressive lol 😂 great look at his new shoe. Hopefully he starts not doing all his social media stuff and gets to keep his deal.
Got the black pair to hoop in for the first time since high school (I'm 23 now and have been watching your videos since I was like 12), and they're a pretty normal shoe outside of the traction, which is a dust magnet, but also surprisingly great even with a small later of dust. I kept up with my wiping like normal and it bit the floor amazingly. Excited to hear your thoughts in the coming weeks!
I actually like the look of these ones but as an old man who needs cushion I guess I’m waiting for the Tatum 1s now
Can't wait for these to drop!
You leave no stone unturned. Nice job.
Really cool video man. Best review you could find on youtube. I do have some questions though... How much does it weigh& how's the ground clearance?
That juggernaut sweater is everything man lol 🔥🔥
Can always count on Weartesters for honest reviews on JA 1’s. Other channels overrated these (probably cause Nike hooked them up lol)
Awesome review on these!
I’m going to wait for the mismatch pair to come out. As long as they’re light I don’t need much tech. I used to hoop in boots and bare feet so I don’t need much lol.
His honesty tho: impeccable!!!!
The clips at the end are great 😂 The pigeon 🐦‼️
bout to break out the og vancouver grizzlies jacket with these...awesome shoe!!!
Thus far the best colourway of the silhouette!
I can see the traction pattern similar to Kyrie 7,8 & Flytrap 4-5
Gracias CHRIS!!!
This was probably a design for the Kyrie low 6. Not only because it looks similar to kyries, it’s got the same price as the lows, similar tech and materials, and possibly even because of the resemblance of skate shoes and kai’s love for skateboarding growing up
Nah Nike gave Ja a lot of creative freedom. His favorite shoes were kyries and Kobe’s so he just took what he liked and put it on his shoe
I call that gum stick zoom. Its about the same width and length as one anyway. Feel like they skimped us on this one for whatever reason, even the pg1s had a decent forefoot zoom unit. At that price i cant really complain too hard on em tho.
Chris - what would you say are the most wide foot friendly hoops shoes that are still widely available? I tried to get the NB 2 Way v3 but the wide sizes are always sold out.
Love those Juggy sweaters
They had a ton of these at the Nike employee store in Memphis Yesterday so no don't pay no premium price for these they will be everywhere
That’s awesome great review
I want a pair of Ja 1s so bad. And I do appreciate the honesty of not paying resell price. However, I want the scratch color way so badly. I absolutely love that color way. I know I shouldn’t pay up to $400 for it bc it is absurd and will tear my bank account apart and that’s how much resell is for that specific shoe, but I want that specific color way so badly I can’t stand it.
I appreciate the ending!
Love the shirt!!
Like how it looks especially in that colorway but when you came to the materials. Nah, I'm still trying to get one. 😂
Great review guys. Thanks
I come here for the shoes, but dang, everytime, the shirt is 🔥!!!
Great video as always!
Glad you enjoyed!
"Hey you're old, you liked the Grizzlies back when they wore this uniform..." Perfect summation of why I need this pair 😂
I'm super excited to get jas shoes good for him 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Keep...it...real. "there is NO mentionable technology" in this shoe.
That isnt hating..that's just facts. That's what I come to this site for, the facts.
Thank you.
Those sneakers look really nice 🔥🔥
Chris will you be covering the new why not zero 6? Looks like a good shoe
Love the pigeon sound lol
Chris and Jodi, ja rule the sneaker game.
Other than the Pg 1 and Kobe 1, I can’t recall a time when a Nike debut signature sneaker was good.
Jordan 1, Penny 1, Pippen 1, Air Garnett, Zoom Flight Glove, PG1, Zoom Flight 5 (J Kidd 1), Air Swoopes, Air Force Max CB (Barkley 1), Zoom Generation (LeBron 1)… all great shoes.
I can somehow predict that there will be a white colorway of these with gold or silver swoosh and a translucent bottom.
So good looking, cant wait to get them, even tho tech is vey basic
I’d hold onto these. They are gona be worth a lot because they won’t ever release to the public after he loses his deal
This is weird but I like when the lacez r all external so I can throw fat lacez in em even in more new school kix so the performance aspect of internal lacing never really occurred or appealed to me but if I could still hoop without falling apart I might appreciate that lol but I like to swap my lacez so idk as far as that goes 🤷♂️ lol
I was so hype for these but after seeing this video I’m kinda bummed. I was hoping for at least a nice forefoot zoom unit or at the least a soft cushion midsole. Why wouldn’t they at least use cushlon 😢
Can’t wait til you get to Jayson Tatum’s shoe that blueprint color way is fire 🔥
That pigeon impression though….. 😊😂👍🏼. Uggh…. Pigeons erk me. I got pecked by one while standing in line at a BART station back in the day.🤦🏻♂️
There are worse things to get pecked by in a BART station 😳
Man I miss the 90s
Thanks Pigeon Chris!!!!
Idk what will happen to Ja's relationship with Nike in the future because of his recent allegation (beat up a 17 y.o. kid)
We will see what happened to his contract with nike after the incident
Ja should definitely be dropped by Nike. Just like when Nike dropped Manny Pacquiao for his comments and now Ja puttin his hands on a minor. Which is more worst?
17 is not a kid...Be 17 in the legal system you a adult.
@@Wiltxxiv By law your considered a minor so doesn’t matter what anyone says
@@Wiltxxivthat’s why they were legally allowed to release the kids name right lol idiot
Glock is going to release a Ja 1 too. Ja gave a sneak peek on his IG live.
i think if youre a grizzlies fan you should get it cuz its like a grizzlies PE shoe
I heard these shoes are amazing for shooting in....
Love the juggernaut shirt..
Do they make you better at shooting?
I heard that when you buy the shoes, they give you a free round at the shooting range. Win Win!!!
I'm so pumped for these. They remind me of Kobe 4's!
not really.... these looks like the knock off Kyries......lol
300$ and up so far on Ebay. Wait for the release.
A little JArring. Well played.
that Juggernaut crewneck is fire 🔥
I feel like these shoes would blow out really quickly (based on reviews by people with actual shoe knowledge) (like yourself)
I heard it improves your shooting abilities.
If your looking for casual you know just wanna look cool this is good enough..
Crazy how no one talking about the Juggernaut crew. Thing is sick!
The Juggernaut Shirt 🔥🔥🔥
Reminds me of a low ky1 which is great I want this colorway
Congrats to Ja on getting out of the NBA and making it to the hood
Dope!
Better get a pair now before he loose his nike deal !!!! Just got suspended for 2 games they saying he did have a gun in his IG post
My opinion the best thing about that sneakers is the box. Not feeling them, maybe if see them in another color.
love the look of these but they seem more style than substance. hoping the Booker 1s are a more impressive first installment.
do they come with a safety switch 🤔
Dope review as always bro! Juggernaut crew is so clean! I have an skater brand I’m launching called Scumme, and would love to send you a few pieces to wear!
Loving the Juggernaut shirt.
gangster shoes, brrrttt brtttt
I want the black ones :)
I don't know if the shoes will be available at finish line
You'd think they'd give Ja some Formula 23 foam or something like they did with Luka's shoe. I guess he just wants a bouncy shoe with minimal cushioning that gets out of his way. I wonder how different his PE versions are because the FDZ review said the traction was bad on hardwood, but better outdoor.
Formula23 is Jordan Brand’s foam.
@@WearTesters thanks for the clarification. I had no idea that Nike and Jordan brand kept so much separation between the brands.
JA will be targeting the basket on these! He'll be laser focused on the court.
Next is Ja Li Nings 1
I came for the shoe but left with envy for the jumper!!! I WILL SUBSCRIBE if you tell me where I can get one lol 😅
Kobe 4 with a remix
Chris with the grey beard
Looks like an $80 shoe with a Zoom Unit. I think Ja defiantly got the short end of the stick on this.
A tiny zoom unit too. I was hoping for atleast the medium sized zoom.
