    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. :)

  • @variandavid377
    @variandavid377 Před rokem +4

    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. 💯❤️🤓❤️

    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.

    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!

    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

    • @tako4mvp719
      @tako4mvp719 Před rokem

    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.

    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.
