@@andyc413 the step in comfort is ok, there is just one section of the shoe on the outer side that has a raised bump like the previous models that can get painful if worn for many hours. Also, the material on the shoe can get dirty easier than other shoes. I’d recommend the ja 2 or gt hustle 3 for walking/a safer fit

Awesome appreciate the reply. Thanks

@@andyc413 appreciate it!

@@amosvane thank you for the comment! I have had a lot of people tell me the same. I’m sad that Nike can’t get these right…

@@zhanem2886 if possible- I would try the gt hustle 3. If those don’t have enough lockdown for you, I’d reccomend the wade 808 4 ultras. Do you have any more preferences you could share with me? Right now the ja 2 has been amazing in everything just a little bit of a lack in cushioning. I could also give you a better answer if you let me know some shoes you’ve liked historically.

Actually this is my first pair of basketball shoes i’m looking to buy, the ones i have currently are the Jordan Max Aura Basketball Shoes cool grey highs, i want something that’s not tight but snug and comfortable at the same time, good looking is important for me too, traction and support probably my two big hitters, would love a good cushion too

@@zhanem2886 I would say the Gt hustle 3 is a great option and if you want something with better stability get they all city 12 encore. If you cant get way of wade where you live you could always try the Book 1's

I would actually recommend the Gt Hustle 3, or the way of wade all city 12 ENCORE. They are on sale right now, the gt hustle 3 has a bit less ankle support, but the cushioning is the best I have felt in years and the encore will be more bouncy. If I had to choose between these and serious player only, I would actually choose these as they are easier on the joints- they have a better heal to toe transition.

@@abedeen4072 thank you, I always try to keep my reviews as accurate as possible. Comments like this make me know I did a good job!

@@driftin-music glad to see you- hop in my stream tomorrow so I can snag your music! I wanna use some of your new songs for my vids

@@ttvWideShoes sure if i can

@ appreciate it- I’m streaming on UA-cam now

@@someones_here what!? Why is that… that’s crazy man. I would say the ja 2 will fit you nicely. Potentially, if you want something with maximum cushioning I’d highly reccomend the gt hustle 3. That being said- it’s very much built like a running shoe. See if you can snag a pair of kd16’s not the 17’s.

@@ttvWideShoes nike sponsored & it's shown online. I don't think legally they can stop me, but I don't care enough to argue with them about it. With that being said, kds have historically pointy toeboxes, and the 16/17s looks to be the same. Ja's seem to be good though.

@ the only reason I mention the KD line is because I could go up half a size comfortably

@ the ja is very wide, it just won’t have as good cushion. Good luck man!

now thats actually a great idea, - unfortunately these shoes are so tight for me, and too long, so I dont know if I could fix my issues but that information could help many hoopers who have both. I should have tried that!

​​@@ttvWideShoesmaybe u just needed to break them down a bit more , from my experience with the recent Kobes it takes a while to fully break them in . Took me 3 months to break in my 4s and Im still breaking down these 8s and also I feel u need to tweak the laces, I personally dont have the last holes laced up in my left shoe and I heard some have skip some of the middle holes for a better fit Also in order to make the spo support work is go half size down and if ever trim them in the sides. They arent a 1 to 1 fit and you are gonna need to trim the sides which are ok because 90% of the support is in the cushion on the midsole . U will need to trim because they will curl in the shoe and cause more tightness and pain. I also heard some went for the explosive midsole but I already have that in my game 1 so I wanted to change these up with the kobe8s since the main issue is the cushion

@@BabayaGuns I wore these for about 1.5 month(s) so about 7 weeks. I respect what you’re saying and will agree with you on the other Kobe models. But the original Kobe 8 didn’t have this big of a break in time and- if I have to sacrifice that much time it’ll still result in a lower “fit ranking.” That being said- I’m glad you got them to work for you. I just am not a fan of paying $180 and having to “make it work” with the lacing and fit modifications

@@ttvWideShoes not gonna lie taking that long to break them in would drive me crazy . I agree the originals were a lot better but sadly Nike sucks now and would only release the protro line. The quality isnt the best and heard people break their recent Kobe5 xrays after a few runs. I think stepping away from Nike is the right move indeed. At least you get your money back

@ thank you, I try to review shoes that people can get ahold of. It’s really expensive to do all these reviews so it’s nice to review Nike -I can always return them.

@@rondorvm6929 yoooo what’s good man I appreciate it!

@@camilafloressanchez5815 wow thank you - you’re a cutie btw

@@yanniouk2485 thank you for your comment! I thought I was going crazy, and I loved the originals. Everything you’re saying here is what I experienced as well..

@@ttvWideShoes yeah my friend and I tried our true size but it hurt my feet so bad even a full size up fit perfectly but the fit is so sloppy there was something always off whether it be traction cushion or lockdown

I think the quality control may be spotty

Excited for the Kobe 8 Protros, but was immediately let down by the fit of the shoe. I lucked out with thw Kobe 9 Elite and those were way way way more plush and comfortable.

@@spoodo I’m gonna buy the 9 protro, my feet are slightly wide, do they fit better than the 8

Well- this is a review by me, about my experience with the shoe. If I made videos that were about how the shoe potentially fit others I would basically be making claims on speculation. I appreciate the feedback- I’ll always aim to be making very objective, transparent, and honest reviews that are solely from my experience.

@@sanantoniospurs2269 I can’t make an amazing recommendation without knowing more about you. What do you prefer in a shoe? What is your foot sizing? Wide, narrow, etc. from pure preference- I would say the witness 8 is objectively the best

@@ttvWideShoes well my foot is narrow and long. I run around a lot so no heavy shoe please. i will wear them outdoor so i would like it to be durable. im 180 cm and i wear 46 eu. thx for replying

@@sanantoniospurs2269 witness 8 is a great choice, go up a full or half size. And- renew elevate will be better if you want a lower to the ground shoe. I’d also reccomend the way of wade flash if you can get it where you live.

@@ttvWideShoes looks like witness 8's material quality is better than renew elevate 3 and max impact 4, right? if so i will buy lebrons if not which one would you recommend? both look so great but quality is more important for me.

@@sanantoniospurs2269 the witness will be the best in durability

@@lonewolfgang_ good luck- it’s a great shoe if it fits. I went tts and it was a bit snug

@@BLUE66423 thank you! New video up next week and I have 4 videos queued up for more consistent uploads!

Nice

@@hashille6381 currently they aren’t planned, but I’ll do a poll and see if my audience would like that

@@ttvWideShoes thank you, and one more question: do you use insoles? I get shin splint with my asics skyelite ff2 because I have wide feet which makes me overpronate but everytime I put insoles in I feel like the shoe is too small and it feels shaky to jump and land on insoles. I am 6" 180 pounds with a decent vertical (I get my whole wrist above the rim). If you have any tips let me know please. i did quite a bit of research but haven't found anything truly helpful except for your channel

@@hashille6381 I have debated posting a video about how to prevent these injuries. Do you foam roll? Do you do patella tendon raises? Shin splints are very preventable with a small amount of physical therapy based lifting.

@@k_dcccccc they are both decent options for wide footers but the witness 7 is just a bit wider

​@@ttvWideShoeswhich is better giannis immortality 3 or ja 1s for overall performance?

@@k_dcccccc you’ll have to tell me a bit more. Personally I think the ja 1 is better for me

​@@ttvWideShoesalright thank you for your response ❤

@@lebron8457 haven’t heard of them but will check it out!

@@helloguys3868 the ac12 is superior in your situation in every way!

@@helloguys3868 the AC11v2 is more comfortable for some, but the AC12 is a better performer and from what you described I think it will fit you better

@@ttvWideShoes thank you for your answer. okay if for performance AC 12 if for comfort AC 11 v2. there is 1 more question if for performance and comfort (overall) which is better AC 11 v2 or AC 12 or AC 12 encore?

@@helloguys3868 trying the encore next week! For now I need to know your personal preferences. What do you like in your shoes?

@@ttvWideShoes honestly I want to find basketball shoes for playing volleyball. the shoes I'm looking for have a soft midsole + shock absorb (because in my opinion the shockwave 5 feels hard/firm midsole and I've tried to break in but haven't fully found the feel). for the fitting at least don't be too narrow (my shockwave 5 feels narrow for 1 hours of use, it feels like there's something pinching on my toes, you could say it's tight). for a strong outsole I sometimes wear it for outdoor. so my choice is between the 3 shoes above.

@@basementaviator2552 I mean- they are clunky I don’t know what else to say. They destroyed my hips, but- they were a bit too big for me. Maybe this will be way less of an issue if you go down half a size.

@@1NKaZe10 how did they turn out? I couldn’t make them work at all!

@@ttvWideShoes they worked for a little but then started to hurt my feet do you have any recommendations for wide foot basketball shoes for forward / center

@@ttvWideShoesthey worked for a little but then started to hurt my feet do you have any recommendations for wide foot basketball shoes for forward/center

@@nabilj.makarim78 I would go true to size (tts). This shoe is a little bit snug, but it will stretch over time. If you go up half a size the shoe will be too long

@@RaivenVenkatesh if you look at my channel I have reviewed a few of them. But I will do this now.

@@camilafloressanchez5815 it’s so much better than the ones I previously used

Thank you for the comment! It helps the channel a lot!

@@weezer241 I think you should go with the 12 in these. I wear a 10.5 in the AC 12 and a 10.5 in the serious player only. When I went up to an 11 in the serious player only- it was huge. Way too big. These may not look it, but they will be about the same in regards to durability.

@@ttvWideShoes thank you so much!! Noted on the sizing. Just ordered the Xin Jiang ones. I do hope they are as durable… PH courts are hella nasty and rough. Glad I was able to find your channel!! Kudos to you bro!! Thank you!

@@weezer241 I hope that helps, the serious player 1 needs a 1-1 fit. But- the serious player 1 is a tiny bit smaller than the ac12. It’s really tough, but- you could always get two and return 1. That’s what I did. It’s just that the 10.5 versus the 11 was a huge jump in size. Good luck!

@@perryfelizardo957 yes- and very well constructed

@@devotee3025 these shoes are a little big. I would buy a 43. They will stretch out a lot!

Yes, the arch support is not too intrusive and the shoe does fit custom insoles very nicely

@@dharusansivanandarajah3613 yes- this shoe is huge. Unless you find your feet at the edge of the shoe always. I highly recommend going down half in this shoe regardless of wide or narrow feet

@@ttvWideShoes interesting, what if I put orthotics insoles? Would it be still okay if I go size 10?

@@ttvWideShoesinteresting, what if you put orthotics insoles, would size 10 still be okay?

@@dharusansivanandarajah3613 yes, and, orthotics will be tough on these. If you need custom orthotics it will fit but the insole is sewn in

@@ttvWideShoes any idea what could be the best shoe for wide/flat feet with custom orthotics insoles?

@@ichiagou liked them better?

@@ttvWideShoes oh yea. And also how you thought they performed

@@ichiagou sorry I didn’t mean to hit enter on that, phone was in my pocket and that came across rude! Essentially- I liked the 20 more. It was more comfortable but these did provide a better lockdown. Overall, it depends on personal preference. For wide footers- the 20 is better

@@ttvWideShoes np lol. Oh cool I see. Yea I had both too but am not sure which ones I prefer lol. The nxxt gens are the best for me though currently

@@KingstonChen both shoes won’t fit you well, but- you could go with asics gellburst!

@@twotex4235 that’s literallly what I told someone to do yesterday… a shame

I was so excited a few years back when New Balance announced they were making a bigger commitment to basketball shoes. I expected to find awesome shoes at the highest quality offered in all widths. Boy, was I disappointed (and continue to be). They have very few offerings available in extended widths. They excel in this area with their running shoes but put forth a half effort in their basketball offerings.

@UMfan333 couldn't agree more
