In this video we go over 5 basketball shoes to avoid buying this year, and why:
Jordan Zion 3 - traction, comfort, fit (width), containment.
Skechers SKX Resagrip - traction.
Jordan One Take 5 - cushion, comfort, flexibility & speed.
Nike Cosmic Unity 3 - cushion, weight, breathability.
Puma All Pro Nitro (solid rubber outsole) - traction vs translucent outsole.

Which shoes did you NOT like recently?? ⬇️✏️
Jordan38 low

Zion 3 as well lmao
I bought the two wxy v4, and the front side is too narrow for me 😢. When I go up, heel slippage is a problem. I am currently trying to break it in, but my toes got blister the last time I played. I used mine to walk to campus nowadays but not really comfortable 😢😢
Sprained my ankle on my 2nd play with the NB Two Wxy v4. Wanted to love them but I think the heel height maybe too high considering I’ve been playing in the WOW 10 before it.
Bruh Tommy Liu and Foot Doctor Zach are the two most goated reviewers. Always the most accurate. Thank you, my brother.
Thanks bro much love 🙏
Totally agree with u my man. Also Wear Testers especially with Performance reviews r really good and worth checking out.
@@vicexclub4647 yea true I like their reviews too
💯💯💯
What about sole drop
Yes I agree, I too got the all pro nitro in the Chris Brickley colour way with translucent outsole. Their traction is top tier
Anta zap 1 pls , love ur videos btw , always appreciate the consistency
👌👌 Alrighty. Thank you so much!!
We’re identical in almost every sizes including the milk tea. Glad I saw your channel. Thanks man!
Nice let’s gooo 😆😆🤛
Had a very similar experience in my Zion 3’s, I have flat narrow feet and still felt pinching…ended up sending mine back thinking of getting the 808 V3’s loved my V2’s. Thanks for the warnings! 💪🏾
Right?! Yeah there u go, much better 👍 And appreciate you watching!
I had the same experience with the solid rubber all pro nitros i was genuinely shocked by how much slipping I had even after wiping did not feel safe playing in those at all which is a shame since everything else was great.
I appreciate u always my brotha!
Much love man 🙏
appreciate the thorough and concise vids as always man. just got the lebron XXI for 50% off which is crazy and loving em!
Nice that’s a sweet deal. Thanks man!!
Keep up the great work Tommy, thank you
Thank YOU!!
I also have flat feet and using custom orthodics and almost similar built. I am 1.85 and 84 kg. From now on, you are my guy to choose shoes. I got AE 1 for my go to shoes.
Thanks for the warning!
I agree with you about the Jordan One Take 5. If you wear it more like a casually-daily-commute shoe and can sometimes join a pickup game while wandering in your local park. It's still a nice and looks-cool shoe!
Yes that I agree 😃🤝
pls make review for the new zion 3 strap i rly like how they look and would love to know how they perform
great video 100% agreed, i dont know why but i have better experience with translucent sole with puma and adidas recently their solid rubber is either ok or not good
🙏🙏🤛
I found a pair of all pro nitros, brand new for $52 USD in Australia, it is solid colour not translucent but I'm still rlly happy about the purchase
All the love man!
❤️ Much Love man - have a great weekend!
Had the exact same experience with the solid rubber outsole on the all pro nitro, disappointing given how good the solid rubber was on the original all pros
@tommy what do you think abt the harden 6
As always still the best reviewer
Great shoe! I’d recommend going half size down from your true size or Nike size.
Just copped a pair so I was wondering
I got them for abt 70 bucks
@@SK1-PI3 Nice, sweet deal there 👍
I bought the UA jet 23 thinking it's the spawn 5 but Tommy Liu has the best review
❤️ They’re very similar indeed lol
Jet 23 has identical outsoles / traction pattern to the Spawn 4 too.
Appreciate the vid
But can you please make a video on where you buy your shoes? Cause whenever I look everything is out of stock
Thank you!! That really just depends - sometimes online, sometimes in store. Everyone will see different things based on your location so I think it’d be impossible to tell where you can find what, you know.
This channel is actually testing shoes on the court compare to those other channels where they're just all talk and walking around with the shoe. Hope this channel gains more traction.
Thank you so much!! 🙏
What do you think about the, puma trc blaze court?
Hello Tom! because of your reviews I bought the shockwave 5 pro, specifically due to what you said they’re so good on dusty court and they the least to pickup dust. And I bought the heterochromia colorway (black outsole, same as your black knight cw) but on the first run i had yesterday it does seem to pickup more dust than my wow10. Idk is it because i need to break it in? did you need to break in your sw5 pro before the traction got better (like least dust pickup)?
Hey. You don’t have to spam it in the comments I can always see it. I personally didn’t need to break it in.
@@TommyLiu4 i see. maybe i need to break in mine. thanks tom
Hi tommy, i'm a forward and my role is mainly to defend, get boards and get buckets close to the rim. Which do you think i should get? The wow 808 3s, the AE1s or the spo game 1s(if you have played in them)?
Hey. AE 1
Hey Tommy, would you recommend the witness series or the court riders or the precision 6 for a cement court?
Hey. Court Riders.
Love the review
🙏🙏
yo tommy, can u make a video about the peak basketball shoes
YOO Im early.
And i have a quetion from all the budget shoes that you own what traction is the best
GT Cut Academy
@@TommyLiu4 how about overall the best budget shoes not just in traction like its good on comfort,cushion,traction,etc
@@Im_DemarcusBartholomewTheThird GT Cut Academy. No. 1 best budget shoe rn to me.
@@TommyLiu4 Ok bro TYSM for the info
what is better Lockdown 6, Certified 2 or puma court rider 2.0 ?
Good I saw this video, I see this other website that was recommending the Cosmic Unity as the Best Outdoor Mid-top Shoe. I saw red flags everywhere. Ended up buying a cost effective Under Armour Lockdown 6.
Nice, my favorite budget shoe last year - simple but effective! Pretty comfy too 👍😃
Yes we still love you tommy dont worry keep being real 🙏
❤️
Juicy info!
Hi tommy which is better for somewhat of a combo guard and stretch big as a wide footer Ae1s or Harden 8s
Hey! They’re super close and both good for wide feet - I personally like the Harden’s even more but it’s not feeling as durable as the AE 1s so far so I’ll say AE 1.
i almost bought the zion 3's in the same colour way as u but i changed my mind and bought the dame 8's normal model
Hey Tommy Liu and everyone. Hope you good. Wanted to ask if you know of a way to get any Way of Wade shoe in South Africa
availability is key man, injured since mid-Jan, can't wait to be back
Speedy recovery man! Get back out there soon 🙏❤️
Cosmic 1 was a bust for me
@@timshammm whole cosmic line is 🗑️
Thx for giving Insights brother- i think we have the Same feet haha . You also think that the jordan 37 low fits hella long but still to tight😅?
Yeah kinda LOL 🙏🤛
Tried this shoe on and it was ridiculously tight and narrow
I love the KD 16 there top tier for sure
Bro, i just got the all puma nitro porsche edition because I really like the colorway and I saw this vids. Im gonna see how is experience with this shoe, hopefully it might different than yours.
👌 Kk lemme know, that pair looks beautiful!
I just recently picked up the GT Cut 2's and was warching your review and im regretting it already but idk
Still a decent shoe after break in! Just takes a while to get used to… Did you get it at a discount?
@TommyLiu4 they were on sale but so were other good performers. But since I am a big guy I tend to lean more for minimal cushion but wanted to switch it up a bit.
I tried these on and they were the most uncomfortable shoe i’ve ever tried on, returned them immediately. Puma all pro nitro (red color way) are way better and were on sale recently.
Hey do you think that the ae1s would be good for volleyball? I got pretty wide feet so they're pretty much my only option my position is an opposite so I would have to jump high and jump alot
Hey, in general I think so but they’re probably a little too heavy?
Also Converse 70s hi i lile the orig classic chuck taylor cuz flexible and comfort to walk in light weight compare to hi 70s you need to lift your foot to lift in the back heel cuz heavy and haed midsole side wall and i hate the most in 70s is tounge always slipping out i dont understabd why they remove the dypport lace system like in converse classic chuck taylor and the outsole of 7ps are slighlty grip in classic but incosistent in dusty court or minimal dust and the fronr foot insole hurts cuz thin insole and my suze i go to hi 11 size and i prefer classic not 7os narrow fit size . And i really regret buying converse 70s cuz i didnt really enjoy walking for long even minutes warmp up its start fast hurt my feet even bigger size i got .
What is your option on the Jordan 29s lows
I use the Zion 3 as fencing shoes and they’re quite awesome haha, maybe they found a different sport to excel at
Interesting! That’s dope 👍👍
now i know why my all pro nitro have worse traction than what you guys say in your video its beacuse you test the translucent outsole shoe
hey tommy, if im a size 10 US on the paul george 4 (and they fit me kinda snug as i like), which size i should choose on the liren 3 v2 to fit me the same, like a glove?
Hey. 10
Bro can you make a review for the way of wade 808 3 regular pleaseeeeee
czcams.com/video/6hijkCJ7Y4k/video.htmlsi=nggILHrsjpfQVUTH
I sold some of my shoe because the only playable shoe I have is the DON issue 3 coz I do also have slight wide & flat foot 😂
Life vip @ coco 😂
Hats to say this, but I’m team chatime!!
Ayy. I don’t pick sides really when it comes to 🧋lol probably had equally as many cups there… ❤️
Hi tommy, i would like to ask where is that indoor court you are playing in?
Hey, it’s just a private condo gym.
Should i buy Nike gt cut academy? I have a fleet feet and i usually play on outdoor courts
Sure they should be durable enough.
The Jordan One Take V became like a skateboard or casual shoes
Factss, those 19’s and those gt 1’s are trash but my dad loves them both. He’s anti low top.
👍👍
I love my kd16s so far and a lot of them colorways are marked down in Asia.
👍👍
Been waiting years to finally get new pair of basketball shoes I have wide feet and lot of shoes hurt my feet. What basketball would you recommend I buy?
czcams.com/users/shortswxVRWuHnvHM?si=hfA45FdGuwTrLp6s
Hi I have both wide feet + flat feet just like you. Ive been playing in the Lebron 21's and. yesterday the foot pain was so bad I woke up today and practically couldn't walk for the first hours of the day. I'm assuming you don't have this problem. I'm going to try adding an insole for flat feet into the Lebrons and see if anything changes.
Lebron 20 and 21 and every Nike shoe is known for being extremely narrow and awful for wide feet. Never go true to size in Nike. I would recommend never buying Nike at all, actually. If you have wide feet or any type of bunion, nike shoes will destroy your feet.
Hey. Oh I see, right I personally didn’t experience that - I will say though, as mentioned previously in my LeBron 20 & 21 videos, they’re not ideal for flat feet. Great cushion and bounciness come at the expense of soreness over a long sesh for us.
am getting ownthegame 2.0 for 20usd and court rider chasos for 30 which one should I chose for impact protection thanks for ur reply man
Ownthegame 2.0 should be good enough.
Plz review Converse 70s hi
hello Tommy i Would like your recommendations either Wow 3 ultra, Ja 1 or the freak 5 cs they all on sale in my country and having a hard time to pick I often play in outdoors Thank you
Hi 808 3 Ultra
@@TommyLiu4 Alright thank you tommy
@@TommyLiu4 wait one more question freak 5 or Ag 4 which one better for outdoor? ✌🏼
@@teukuazeem7643 Not sure, haven’t used either outdoors.
@@TommyLiu4 Alright Appreciate the respons👊🏼
Hey Tommy I just bought the shockwave 5 pro. Would u recommend any specific insoles to pair with them?
Hey, umm I personally didn’t swap out the insoles on it - it’s fine the way it is I think 😃 Great step-in comfort.
And nice pickup! Which colorway did you get?
Preciate you brooo. I got the black “First Show” colorway off GOAT. Idk the difference btwn that one and the Dark Knight colorway.
hey I was wondering if I should get the zoom freak 5 or nxxt gens
Hey, Freak 5 to me.
Best APAG (Avg Pale Asian Guy) hooper on youtube! kk
❤️ I like that abbreviation lol
tell me what you thought about the jb 2's im getting them in soon and i watched some other reviews about it
Oh just another wave of seeding for the pink pair. Extremely comfy, average traction, poor grip on dust from my pair with the black solid rubber outsole.

@@TommyLiu4 that was quick, thanks for the reply
@@platypusplays8907 🤛
I’m getting AE 1, how do you like yours?
czcams.com/video/9HJbZ1EaT2M/video.htmlsi=KnWAUyBVz3orZc1u
Some of the Steph curry shoes I got weren’t good because the traction was slippery and that the insoles weren’t good
agree😀
Didnt try the 3 but Cosmic Unity 2 are 🗑️ as well. There’s a reason they’re on sale for $75 everywhere. They’re like a brick on your and very difficult to run in. They do have very nice cushion though. Maybe ok for a 50 year old big man who barely moved on the court.
Agreed, 2s were bad to me.
I disagree with what you said about the all pro nitro ,I have the all white solid color it performs great top tier shoe I hoop four nights out the week ..no issues at my local 24 hr fitness. Which mostly is a dusty court and my pair squeaks like crazy .. 🤷♀️
👍👍
See if those zion 3 midsole fit into your other drop in shoes
_"Ventilation took a huge blow."_
The All Pro Nitro solid rubber issue is interesting, considering how many players in the NBA use them. Perhaps it's just not a real issue on the cleanest and best courts?
P.S.
Glad the LeBron James bit is back.
🫡🫡 Yeah the court condition definitely makes a difference, especially in the case with NBA courts you’re right. On dust their solid rubber outsoles just weren’t getting the job done for me…
Puma all pro nitro is the best shoe you can get. You can play on straight dust and still have amazing traction. The only downside is sizing. If you go half a size up you'll have heel sleeping, if you go true to size it's gonna suffocate your feet.
Hmmm I got one without the translucent outsole and grip is not so good on any court conditions less than perfect
@@henryouyang I got the translucent outsole and the grip is perfect
I have wide feet and it wasn’t suffocating my feet at all. Fit quite perfect, way better than nike shoes. And yes traction is amazing
Sorry for not mentioning it. It has to be translucent@@henryouyang
thx!
🤛
ngl the zion 3s arent bad after a few sessions they are horrible fresh out tho
Tatum 1's are bad for wide feet. If you have wide ass feet, get a size up
how many pairs of shoes do u have
It seems you get a lot of heel slippage cause the shoe is a tad too long. Judging by the space between your ankle and the shoe.
👌 In the b-rolls, I noticed that too even on shoes that already feel very snug going TTS. To avoid misleading looks I think I’ll just chill a little bit in the clips lol cause sometimes I push my feet so hard in there especially to test forefoot traction.
@@TommyLiu4 Can’t wait for the next video. More power to you. 🇵🇭
what is better dame certified 1 or dame certified 2
1
sup man, the jordans aura 5 good?
Sup! Not sure never had.
@@TommyLiu4 yea i jus wanted to know cuz they are in a very good sale and ppl says they are comfy and durable in court and in casual use
The strap pair (Zion 3 se) also has full length zoom according to leaks
Maybe I should give it a try 🤔🤔
PLEASE DO IT, I wanted to see a review on those zions for a while and nobody is doing it, and besides full length zoom it has rubber outsole instead of translucent.
Jordan zion 3
My position is guard, is it okay for me to wear Lebron21? 😮
Sure
dang 15k now 47k
it's a damn shame about the zion 3 because I loved the 2 and have multiple pairs
🥲 Right… I actually liked the 2 as well.
Sketchers should be great outdoor sneakers
Yup
Subscribed
Thank you!!
what is better dame certified or dame certified 2.0
oops sorry i ask 2 times
What about traction of stewie 2
Stewie 2 is actually decent lol
gt cut 2 or academy, the 2 is on sale
Academy
@@TommyLiu4thx
I lol'd at 9:43
TRAE UNLIMITED has terrible traction indoors, a little bit of dust and you will slip.
the next one is mb.03 (fraction)
5’11 being average for asian (im asian) is crazy. Its probably a little above average honestly.
What your 5'11?!
Zion 3 was pretty disappointing given the design language of the 1 and 2
you ever thought about using insoles for your flat feet?
Yeah, have some. Sometimes they work, other times they turn out meaningless on some shoes.
Nice cat!
❤️
so that's why these shoes are going on sale in our country lol. makes sense
And it’s discount season 😆
watching this praying not to see my shoe in this Top5
