    Do you prefer the 808 4 ultra or all city 12 for a guard?

    • @theshoesayer
      @theshoesayer 5 годин тому

      So it's really close here... the thicker boom in the 4 ultras make it slightly less responsive compared to the AC 12, however the 4 ultras have the carbon Fibre torsional plate in the midfoot vs the plastic piece in the AC12s, which gives you more of a spring forward when running. So I would say you might be quicker laterally with the AC 12s, but quicker going downhill in the 4 ultras.

    • @theshoesayer

      I'll try to line that up bro. I think the 4ultras are better than the 3 ultras which were great. They kept all the great things about the predecessors, then added a thicker drop in midsole and softer plastic in the heel to address the impact protection issue. The mid foot strap in the V4 ultras also keep you stable and locked in despite the thicker boom midsole height.

      Hmm. These are good bro..but if you're really shifty and prefer responsiveness to overly lofty cushion.... and still want great impact protection when you get to the rim... I would say go Anta Kai 1s bro... if you're more of a light curry type guard but still wants to float about easily, then I would say go All city 12s. Let me know if you like the aesthetics of these two. I'll suggest more of you're not rocking with them.

    How does it compare to the wow 10/wow11 and Jb1/Jb2?

    • @theshoesayer
      @theshoesayer 2 дні тому

      I really like it. It's impact protection is not all the way up there with the WoW 10/11 or JB2 but is improved to the point where it's a non factor for me. It has better traction durability than the WoW 11s and both JBs, it's just as bouncy as all those shoes in the heel and has slightly more bounce in the forefoot. The midfoot strap also improves lock down significantly. They're all in the same weight class as well. So its really close. It has a midfoot carbon Fibre torsional plate instead of full length but you still get enough of that forward propulsion. It's also more breathable than the wow10 and 11. Right now, I look forward to playing in them first,and then the WoW 11s(maybe because I played in these a million times when I first got them) I'll see how well they stack up to the older pairs once I can get enough mileage on them.

    I know you said this shoe has no heel slip, but is the heel lockdown as good as the Son of Flash?? Heel lockdown is very important to me as a I have a skinny heel and the Son of Flash has the best heel lockdown I have ever experienced.

    • @theshoesayer
      @theshoesayer 2 дні тому

      Yeah, I had no issues with these at all. The midfoot strap is very functional and prevents your feet from moving around in the shoe. The heel area is also properly sculpted such that your heel feels locked in. I honestly didn't think about heel slippage at all while playing in them. The shoes are also not too wide by default , so with very narrow feet you should be fine. I would suggest if the width is a bother, you could go half a size down, but your toes might be right at the front.

      Appreciate the sub fam! I'll choose the 808 4 ultra over the 808 3 ultra. The thicker boom midsole in the heel and the forefoot as well as the softer plastic on the outsole makes all the difference. The 4 ultras are bouncier and have better impact protection as a result.

      So I would say the 808 4 ultras are better than the v3 ultras. The thicker boom drop in midsole and the softer plastic in the outsole makes all the difference. In terms of personal preference, I've been alternating between the WoW 11s and the 808 4 ultras so I kinda like them the same. I might edge the 808 4 ultras because they have a more durable outsole and are more breathable.

      Drop ins are generally worse at impact protection bro. Mostly because of the stiff outsole. So I would steer clear. The Wade 808 4 ultra are the best I've tested with a drop in midsole in terms of impact protection but I would probably suggest you go for something like the Way of Wade 10s/11s, Anta Kai 1s, Wade All city 11/12/12 encore, Harden Vol 7s/Vol 8s and the likes.

    I got a question, just want some matter of opinions. So when you are reviewing a sneaker , do you add in your personal performance during the day when hooping, For example today I played in my WAY of wade All city 12 DNA colorway for the 1st time.. they needed no breaking in time.. I played good went 4-1 in games. So I probably would include player performance in the reviews as well.. Just curious if anyone else may do this.. Also just a side note, i personally believe all basketball sneakers should have traction setup like the player one plus.. like tire grip for longevity. That herringbone traction is it.

      That's an interesting take bro. So currently I treat Cushion, Traction performance, Traction durability and stability as my main performance KPIs. I believe those are the factors that actually make me play better in terms of improving my overall skill attributes and influencing my performance on the court.... and then I take other things like fit, design, and affordability separately. It's really similar to what you've expressed, I feel those 4 performance related factors have the biggest impact on how good I play on any given day.

    The support midsole is definitely plusher under the feet and the explosive midsole is decent in impact protection, but my one knock is if you're a lighter player you won't really feel that compression all that much (I'm around 6feet 180-185). If you want to knit pick, the explosive midsole gets really hot under your feet from all that potential energy. *BUT* The real flaw in all this is that these (explosive/support) drop in midsoles are slightly thicker, so they change the fit of the shoe. Which is already a problem, I've bought TTS, half size down and half size up and still couldn't get the fit right for performance. As a warmup shoe for indoor/outdoor I'd say its fine but its really expensive at that point. I even left a 5 star review on their site when I first got them but that was premature cause you put hours into this shoe, and you'll notice how cheap everything is. The traction and how light the shoe is are probably the plus of the shoe but durability, fit, lockdown and impact protection I'd give it a generous mid.

      Thanks for the info man! I definitely get what you're saying about the fit. I only played in then twice so far and it's a bit of a struggle... with a thicker midsole, that would be way worse. The plastic feel and glued down parts definitely put me off as far as build quality. They might need to go back to the drawing board in terms of refining the base shoe first, before focusing on the interchangeable parts of the shoe. Appreciate the comment fam!

    Played in the SPO player 1+ Halloween when it dropped and was in love however it ended after I burned through the rubber at the ball of my feet to the carbon fiber plate with 15hrs of use only. Also for me heel lockdown was bad unless I strictly used the Zion 3/se midsoles then it was solid and shoe was fun to play in but every pair I owned was getting the outsole wear really quickly so I sold them all.

      Damn. That's crazy man!! You never hear these stories. It's all fluffy reviews on their website..... and at 15hrs of play alone?! I'll for sure try to see if I can play in them some more, and observe the wear on my pair.

      @@theshoesayerI will say I’m shiftier and have very powerful legs more than the average person haha so I would say 95% of players won’t have the same issue I did, one of my players also had the same issue but 2 others didn’t they didn’t put as much pressure/wear on that area, not knocking the shoe but I sent pictures to the company and they literally told me thank you well send to r and d which is cool but no discount or anything, I stated I’m a collegiate assistant and can’t recommend to my shifty strong guards and still couldn’t care less so I stopped all recommendations for the company. Rangers were flat garbage too. 808 line never had a single issue wore the crap out of the 808 3 ultra v2 mid and low Anyways love your videos very in depth and informative I hope your channel grows!

Even when comparing to the player one plus, I found that I spent 60% of the test time wearing the 808s.
