Ranger 1 from Serious Player Only Overview
The Ranger 1s are so wide it's nearly impossible to sprain your ankles in.
A common misconception about basketball shoes is that high-tops are the only way for ankle protection and that low-tops don't provide any, which couldn't be further from the truth.
When Nike was designing the Kobe 4, Kobe demanded a switch to low-tops as their team found out that it's heel lockdown and lateral outriggers that prevent ankle turns more than having a high-top. Serious Player Only has taken that philosophy to the next level with the Ranger 1s.
Sizing: True to size, wide footers potentially half size up or use a different midsole (like the support midsole).

Li-Ning Gamma Tech Breakdown
Переглядів 1,9 тис.2 місяці тому
TECH BREAKDOWN: LI-NING GAMMA Minimal weight. Maximal propulsion. Promising traction. This is all we wanted, right? When I started this series and channel, I set out with two goals in mind. One, to be a resource for the basketball and the dunking communities in a short format. Two, to find the best possible shoe for dunking, ever. The Li-Ning Gamma is the closest I’ve felt to that second goal. ...
There is something exciting brewing in the Asian basketball sneaker market.

SERIOUS PLAYER ONLY EXPLOSIVE MIDSOLE REVIEW!
Переглядів 5 тис.7 місяців тому
SPO Explosive Midsole Not a shoe review, but a midsole review? Thank you again to @seriousplayeronly for sending me these to review. I gave this midsole 4 wears in testing and each wear they became more responsive and energetic. Initially the forefoot felt a little dead, but I tested combinations with SPO shoes and layers that gave me the best results eventually. That combination being: Player ...

Way of Wade 808 3 / Ultra Tech Breakdown
361 super nova 1 pro next please
Just got them from a Thailand footlocker my mom put all the discount in and the shop gave a good review and it was on sale so i bought it for $50 can’t wait to try them!🎉
Honestly I probably wouldn’t wear them but the packaging alone is fire
Shipping is 30$ keep in mind
Not sure what it is, but I hate hooping in these
Do these really run a full size big or would it be safe to go a half size down from your experience.
Does it have a high arch?
Try to memorize the script before recording. It will make it much more authentic.
Got them for $60 at Nike store. Big ass steal
Bruh the difference between jordan and nike is kinda wild for them being the same brand basically. Nike shoes these past couple of years always looked sick even with the weird plastic mesh upper on the zoom gt jump. Jordans since like the jordan 32 look unwearable. I miss hoop shoes that looked great for casual wear that were still dope on the court
Try 361 super nova 1 pro
361 super nova 1 pro is good bro
100$
I own a Yushuai 15 and those are the best overall performer and durability wise. 🎉
Can you please review the Gt Cut 3's??
Does it rlly help you jump higher🫨
they are 500$💀
incredible sneaker, great OG colorway!
i showed my mom these and she called them hideous💀
You know they go crazy when mom say thay
Negative
How I ordered 361 shoes In India
they good fore wide ass feet. especially the mid/forefoot not the toes as much
Where can I pick these up at plz❓❗️❓❗️
No shoes can prevent an injury when you step on someone’s foot
Very true, I have the bron 21s which are a tank of an upper, but if foot goes titanic 180, no shoe can prevent that. It’s one of the only downsides of the sport. Rolled mine badly 4 days ago ☠️
@@ElevatingInLifeI was wearing my lebron 21s and did the exact same 💀 it’s been 6 months and my sprained ankle still hurts
is it true to size
go full size down my brother has a normal foot and went tts and they were way too big ( normal width and arch height) then he went a size down and they fit like every other slides
Not with the price!
Def an on sale buy… I love them, but the lack of lateral support in comparison to other shoes is real. One of my most comfortable shoes as a wide flat footer. Traction has been good for me!
Review AE1
I just grabbed some from the outlets for 35
I got some for 50
Are they lighter then kobe8s
Yes lighter than protro and the OG
Would you consider trying the AE 1 Low's when they drop? I heard they were excellent for explosive players and I wonder how it would fare for a high flying dunker like yourself.
Good to see you come back, Keep up a good work bro👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿
has any shoes got a 5/5 bounce yet?
GT jump 2 I’m pretty sure
sheesh
ABOVE THE RIM REVIEW #66: LI-NING GAMMA BOUNCE: 4.7/5 TRACTION: 4.8/5 CUSHION: 4/5 WEIGHT: 5/5 COURT FEEL: 4.2/5 OVERALL: 9.2/10 I was SO close to calling these the perfect shoe for dunking. Then a Grade 2 ankle sprain reminded me, yeah, they’re not perfect. These are built like a Marathon runner mixed with a Kobe-style minimalist build. While in most cases the upper is plenty supportive, if you find yourself in a freak injury situation landing on someone else’s foot, they won’t do anything to contain the footbed, which could cause a ton of damage. I personally might find myself only using these for dunking, and not for playing basketball, as I’m now in a situation where I need to maximize my support when I return to activity once my ankle is healed up enough for mild jogging, let alone full-contact basketball. Sizing: Short and narrow, but breaks in to your foot - go the same size as your WOW10 size. AKA, wide footers / long footers half size up. Where to buy: wowsole.com is where I sourced my pair. (This is the fourth time I’ve purchased from wowsole and have had no issues.) They’re cheapest once the colorway has dropped, but rapidly increases in price. I would not recommend getting these for more than $300. #LiNing #LiNingGamma #abovetherimreviews
500$ Into the Future hoop shoes. 👾🥶 I hope the wow 11s are going to take the throne of dunkin shoes as soon they release ☝️🤓
These or Lebron 20?
If you are a guard go for AC12
bro you have to break the carrier foam in 🤦♂️ learn to get some patience lil bro
