This is such a hilarious episode! The banter between you 2 is pure entertainment😂
It’s definitely a shoe made for basketball tunnel fit pics, not solely for on court performance. Jerry adopted basketball style, a football boot and the evolution of Nike 1 FoG.
as far as I can make out.... not at all for on court performance. Off feet, they're a good looking disaster. On feet... I'd regret buying em.
Jerry did mention and recommended to go half a size up specifically on the basketball shoes and go true to size on the other models that dopped. He also said that the next drop is gonna be leaning more towards performance. I don't think these were meant for actually playing basketball because of all the points you mentioned. Great review as always. Can't wait for you to test the actual performance oriented pairs next!
I think he tried to make this particular shoe performance but ended up leaning lifestyle. He said somewhere that he learned a lot
Should learned a lot before releasing them @@MaddNomad1015
@@MaddNomad1015 He should have learned that over-charging in a recession is a death sentence to your company. 600$ hoodies lol
@@Turk_2023 ong nigga. Why is the merch so expensive
I usually wear between a men’s U.S. 10-10.5 IN JORDAN 1’S with a medium to wide foot, I copped both pairs in 11. Glad I did! PERFECT FIT! I think they’re very comfortable.
Yesterday I wore the all black pair for the entire day, with no discomfort whatsoever. Sorry about your experience. I’m very happy with my kicks
There was an interview where he said this shoe technically isn’t a performance shoe. It’s named basketball but its a casual shoe
They said the actual basketball performance shoe is coming later.
They've been saying a basketball shoe is coming for years now
Jerry's designs haven't changed at all and I love fear of god but ain't no way these are a performance hoop shoe
They aren't supposed to be performancd shoes, these are a basketball-style lifestyle shoe. Performance shoes are yet to release.
Yupp Jerry has only one design language it all looks similar. That thick cup sole style , neutral colors with color blocking.
The packaging is 50% of the shoe’s price 😂
Funny enough, Jerry said the price will go down eventually, so I’m guessing we won’t see the fancy packaging anymore. I’m guessing around 200 ish eventually
Design wise I think this is an incredibly underrated sneaker. I'm really surprised about the hate I've seen for not just these shoes, but the entire collection. The apparel is okay, but aesthetically I think these are incredible and were a must-cop for me so I'm glad they were an easy pickup. Fortunately, I sized up because I heard Jerry Lorenzo say it was probably within your best interest to do so and that was 100% the right call. The shoe may not be ideal for performance like they're trying to push, but I think they look cool as hell and that's all that really matters to me.
I love this sneaker... Something fresh and it looks freaking beautiful. I bought both colorways! Strictly casual wear!
How do they fit, does one have to go 1/2 size up from your true size? I have noticed that for adidas I have to go 1/2 size up. But being that this model looks like it mold to your foot, I wounded if a full size up is better. Cheers and congrats on your purchase.
@@garudaspeaks Yes, I went up 1/2 size and they fit perfectly. The definitely break in over time as well with casual wear.
Where did you buy them from
Thanks for sharing with us, much appreciation! ❤️
Been waiting for this Video🤝🏻
😂😂Thank You both for the great n super informative vids always. Peace !
Just got these in the light brown colorway. I went half a size up. Mad comfortable and they look amazing.
One of the coolest shoes i‘ve ever owned. I also like the futuristic touch
Followed Jerry's advice and got a half size up, I personally find them very comfortable
Man Chris is 1 funny guy but real honest about the shoes
LOL bro that opening seen, I felt that
I saw gil wearing them on his podcast, was searching for more info. Thank you for saving me some money
Love the look of these! Copped a pair but I will have to resell them as they definitely have no toe room!
I bought my kobe 6 Grinch,All-star kobe 5 What if pack and now kobe 6 reverse grinch from snkr dunk they're the best 💯
omg thank you for explaining that overseas tag cause that came on my nocta air terra’s from goat & i was really iffy about it
Awesome review as always. 👌🏽
First comment and like... this guy put in the work to be where he is now!!
im just glad someone finally made a HONEST review on these because everyone else ive seen review these just keep praising jerry lorenzo's "design" even though there's not much to be praised, especially when it comes to the performance aspect for the shoe
I think he has been quoted saying this is not the performance shoe.
Dope sneaker. Go up a size or half size. Definitely a lifestyle sneaker. But I got my pairs and they are 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Whether its performance or just standing around, Adidas has millions of data points on the human foot, yet they don't know what shape feet are or what "size" means?
Start with a last of the average foot and make the shoe fit that, if you make a size 10 shoe that runs a whole size small, call it a 9.
It's not rocket surgery!
Wow! You're sponsored by SnkrDunk! Weartesters is really moving up the ladder!💪🏻
With the exception of the Yeezy line all Adidas run true to size for me. I’m a thirteen btw and sizing has never been an issue in performance or lifestyle sneakers. 250 for light strike is absurd and I couldn’t agree more with y’all on this shoe 👍🏾
Wearing mine as I watch this! I love them
I had to return mine because they were absolutely destroying the arches of my feet (I have flatter feet). No give whatsoever in the midsole. I could walk for maybe about 2-3 minutes before I was in pain. I went up half a size and my pinky toes were fine but the underfoot comfort is terrible. Also not breathable at all. Maybe it's also because my feet were in pain but my feet were heating up as if I was wearing a boot, if even. Love how they look but I won't trade comfort for style - not anymore anyway lmao.
Tried hooping in these great shoe. Traction was ok. Cushion was nice. Heel slipping was a thing. Using the laces to tighten hurt my ankle. Lockdown is ass. Stay casual wear on these for sure
Boats and Toes! Gotta get me some boats and toes! Lol great vidoe man
All true words Chris 😂 big time 👏
These are fire 🔥I was gonna order a pair until I heard about the comfort.
I'm glad I went a half size up. I feel bad for all the people who purchase the wrong size. I think these look dope but I didn't buy them for basketball playing.
I'm so happy to see The Big Lebowski cutaway 🤣
To hoop in ...HELL NAW. To rock casually... HELL YES!
I have 2 pairs of Adidas, an OG pair of DMC's, a pair of Tim Duncan OG's. Was thinking of getting the Korn pair but I'm just truly into Nike/Jordan since 85! These kinda look cool but I would never own a pair. I think this the new casual try from Adidas 🤷🏾♂️ Nice work you two 👍🏾
These go crazy!
TRIED THE SONIC LOOK
THEY GOT IT JUST GOT TO ELEVATE IT/LIFT IT MAKE SPACE FOR TOES.
Def a casual shoe with the "performance" label slapped on lol looks wise they're dope though. Got the all carbon pair
Bro dude 80’s baby for sure. 👍
"I'm not talking about your mum" 😂😂😂 love the disclaimer ❤
They look pretty cool, like Jordan 11s with a vans sold
Good for casual wear and the rest of the FOG outfit.
I object, I was expecting mrs wings to through the box of the Jordan 5 like last time 😂😂
Great review as always, but where do you get all these comic shirts, sweatshirts, hoodies, etc???
I really like the FoG hoodie
Jerry Lorenzo did say to go up a half size on that shoe in particular
They're still on the website that's what I thought about them 😂😂😂😅😅😮 you guys aren't wrong!
I like the look even if they’re something I’d never wear.
They look good! But I often smh wondering if designers actually let people try on their shoes before they are mass produced
No matter what I love the fact that FoG brought the Predators to Basketball in a sense. 🔥 🔥
It's a good looking shoe. I'm not going to say I wouldn't spend the money but they're a big stretch to call them a "performance" sneaker. And yes I agree about adidas sizing. There are plenty of shoes that I can't get my foot into.
ive try any adidas shoes like yeezy, y3 and the OG
all of them didnt feel comfortable to me except the superstar
the EQT kinda comfy but longterm used its actually getting leas comfy, boost all cramped and toe box preme material feels like shrunk and narrower
Love this sneaker. Something different besides my Jordans and Nike’s. I did go half a size up and they feel perfect.
These are 🔥
I loved the intro 🙂 and because it's true
Pointy toe elf shoes for the Christmas season.
🔥vid
WHERE’D YOU GET THAT HOODIE??????? The “Kind Words…” hoodie
I like them!
8:15-8:30 is exactly why I’ll be passing on these unfortunately 😂
Love the look , but my toes can feel your pain lol , and the adidas sizing has been an issue my entire life , I live in the UK, and I am a 5uk 5.5uk 6uk or EU 38.5 , EU 39 , EU 39.5 , and you can guarantee that you order the same shoe in the same size, and they will fit different with every pair , you never know which will fit .
Merry Christmas guys
Love the look, hate the feel. Too tight around the toes. Not too much toe movement😮. Stylish 👍🏾
Totall agree with you 💸adidas🧛🏿♂️
Got half size up and removed the inside sole in order to say they feel fine😅
I’ve been wearing them for everything (going out, gym use and running) the all blacks hold up well and my feet were comfortable for the most part
Surprisingly, even after a jog outside . I have yet to play them for basketball, so I’m not too sure how they’ll hold up.
I can’t believe you run in these bricks lol
Running!? Tf?!
If they make the toe leather or suede and make it to a lifestyle shoe this makes more sense.
-A
For the record though he said this is more of lifestyle sneaker even though its in the athletic side... I think they look fire 🔥 just sucks u have to guess on sizing
The only thing I will give this collab is the QC. I've seen no poorly made pairs with hella sloppy glue marks yet. I like the 86 low, but $200 for a platform Rivalry Low seems a bit too much for me.
My pair arrived a few hours after this video released. And I can attest that everything Chris said is 100% on point: this is a huge, heavy, overbuilt, stiff, ill-fitting, ludicrously impractical brick of a shoe. It makes the T-Mac 5 feel like a ballet slipper. Also, while I've always had good luck with adidases fitting me tts, I'm very grateful I ordered this a 1/2 size up, and I probably wouldn't have been unhappy with a full size up, it's remarkable how small it runs. In part because it doesn't seem to have been designed around a human foot at all.
As I understand, Jerry Lorenzo considers this shoe more a prototype and a learning experience than anything else. I buy that, this really feels more like a concept that it does a commercial product.
That said, I have countless comfortable shoes, I have countless others I can play basketball in, so I'm not terribly disturbed that this shoe is uncomfortable and useless for basketball. I was strictly interested in how unique and how of the moment it is, so I got exactly what I paid for.
Also worth noting this shoe feels like a Mack truck could run over it and not damage it in the least.
I figured they were exactly how you described. I went with the LA Runners instead and they are really comfortable in terms of a lifestyle shoe. I definitely ain't running in them.
Hey just FYI: I heard Jerry said that you should get this a half size up, if that changes things for you
You shouldn’t have to follow someone to know how sizing works. Make shoes true to size or accept that you don’t make shoes true to size and be prepared for negative feedback regarding fit.
@@WearTesters exactly. Where was the notification of this. And yeah if I have to guess on what size my foot is just make a damn 10.5 be a ten. Absolutely stupid from Adidas and Jerry and then say no returns or exchanges
I assumed that already. I had to half size up in yeezy's so I just figured these would be similar.
@@WearTestersyeah that’s true, he said on one of the platforms that he’s learning the whole process and admits the next one will be more performance oriented too.
Took him 100 years to learn the process??? FFS..
Jerry Lorenzo is overrated... And super boring. Fear of boring@@MaddNomad1015
I personally really like the silhouette of this sneaker for casual wear but I’m kinda hesitant to pull the trigger on this particularly because of my feet. I have low arches and somewhat wider feet, I think wearing these would cook my feet in pain lmao
I got them couple days ago. I got a wide, flat foot like you. Plus short toes. I got a full size up (10) from my normal size (9) and they fit. There's a little extra length but its kinda dead space since its so narrow and pointed (almost like a dress shoe.) I can wiggle my toes in the size 10, i think if i got a 9.5 i couldn't. They are just bad fitting, but not uncomfortable. Def NOT performance, but they are high end build quality. They are made for casual, and made for the look. And for that they work if you got the coin.
Appreciate the straight forward, honest review. Most reviewers sensor their true thoughts because they don’t want to get on any company’s bad side.. *ahem heskicks, Seth Fowler..
Definitely expensive asl, But I bought them. I genuinely like the look of the sneakers.
Luckily, Jerry Lorenzo, Fear of God Creator, said that since they have the RnD process down, the retail prices of their products should go down.
I had heard that these were made on the cheap as far as the materials.
I’m glad I didn’t fall for the okie doke and cop these FOGs. The more I see them they look like junk
Bruh I knew this shoee will be bad for basketball, Its just freaking good looking
This is not a basketball shoe nor a casual one
It’s a fucked up hybrid
I went half size up and all i got was heel slippage while still snug on the front🤷🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️
Comfort was nowhere to be found and, last but not least, i hate how the collar looks on feet.
Sadly, I returned them to Adidas and its a pity because I love the design
😂
Its function as a basketball sneaker is extra disappointing considering it has been three years since this partnership between Jerry Lorenzo and Adidas was announced. But hey, it does look pretty cool for casual wear.
If only this generation feared God more than sneaker prices
That’s actually a very good comment, even if you’re not religious. 👍
Frfr
Might as well fear the big bad wolf 😂😂
Facts.
So true, fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom.
HOLA GREETINGS FROM JUAREZ MEXICO YOUR CHANNEL IS GREAT
They look dope... but the fit sounds like it would be an issue..... Id need to try these one before buying.
Definitely just a casual shoe a fire a$$ casual shoe gonna make your feet sweat like crazy if u use for performance great review though
There are some issues with the materials and sizing but the overall look of the shoe is next level. They just should have removed the basketball from the name. Nothing is performance related. I do love my pair, but respect the criticism because it isn’t unfounded.
Ben Reilly 🤘🏽
I think they did a casual shoe named it performance !
Lol loved this review and having Spicy Jody at the end was great! Love you guys!
it's a great looking shoe although a TAD expensive. However after suffering from every feet and knee issue you can imagine it is not worth my foot health for the looks you get.
Again there snug you have to go a half a size as quoted by Jerry Lorenzo they get more comfortable as you wear them the look and feel ok most I’ve heard from I have pair so I know
I like these better than the Nike ones. Nike had more issues with the zipper and others breaking. These I like but not for hooping
I love my pair but they are super tight. Half or full size up.
I’ll be honest I saw (and tried on) a few of the Nike Fear of God shoes and all of them were really bad on feet. A bunch went to outlet in the UK and I’m not surprised as they were below average shoes with hefty price tags. I’ve no idea why adidas thought this partnership would work but this shoe looks like another overpriced fail- just with excess packaging.
'They nasty' part about grannies had me dying 🤣
You never said how your TTS fit? Should someone go up in size? And if so by how much, half size, full size?
I'm not going to lie; they look nice to me. But I would like to know if I should go a size up.
Bought a pair in true size and man are they terrible fitting. Did you see the pads on the heel also? Pretty terrible application there as well.
They look cool to me too but thats as far as i go i disnt gonhalf size up and damn i shouldve
FOG, in general, is not good at the shoe game yet. They are still working out the kinks. Calling this an athletic/basketball shoe is like calling Doc Martens a work boot.
