    Bruh I’ve been waiting near 3 weeks for my pair to come in lol
    Their out for delivery now
    Your literally one of maybe 3 shoe reviewers I can tolerate, as a collegiate coach and former collegiate player I can’t take people serious that have no skill reviewing shoes unless it’s a comfort take and wear their shoes outside and say traction sucks when theres gum and doodoo stuck to the bottom haha keep doing your thing!

      @@wifi0015 wore them today for hard training session with some of my players.
      For reference I am around 5’11 200lbs all muscle built like a D1 running back. I am incredibly shifty with very powerful legs but my money maker in college was my shooting ability anywhere on the floor.
      Current models always in my bag
      Li-Ning Yushuai 18 ultra (innov8 boomerang insoles)
      Wow 10 (innov8 boomerang insoles)
      Kobe 11, jb1, Kai 1
      The gamma is literally the first shoe I’ve worn stock out the box, what I mean is I always replace the insoles with either footprint kingfoam insoles or remind Destin impact insoles until I found the innov8 boomerang insoles their made with etpu foam that gives 40% energy return their insane seriously. But for the gamma I used the stock boom insole and the shoe is PHENOMENAL like DG said I forgot I was wearing them until the traction almost put me on my face it bites hard, Yushuai 18 ultra and these I would say bite the same, as far as cushion goes their both incredible and the full length carbon plate really gives that diving board effect amazing for jump shooters and keeps leg fatigue low, the Yushuai with the boomerang insole though is just unreal I’ve never experienced anything like it, the bounce of the gamma in stock form for me is 9.5/10 but add the boomerang insole it’s a 11/10 same for the Yushuai and for the wow 10, lockdown is superb felt locked in and extremely confident in all directions of movement, heel never moved once never felt the material stretch, I will say the lockdown is a 9.5 whereas the Yushuai is a 10 because of how wide the Yushuai is and the lace loops hug the entire foot like a glove. I went true to size in all my shoes and I do wear ASO ankle braces on both feet and wear thick basketball socks, all fit phenomenal the wow 10s are snugger in the toe box than gamma and Yushuai in a negative way imo. As previously stated the traction is insane, I will mention I have slight fraying where the outsole wraps up on the inner side but bottom outsole is flawless, the Yushuai have zero wear on the outsole after around 20hrs of court time, and the bites are equal just dumb hard and the wow 10 comes second. Heel to toe transition is flawless feels almost like a running shoe, zero lace pressure there is foam exactly where you need it and not where you don’t. I have worn every Kobe model in my career as that was all I used to wear and Kobe’s cannot come close to any of these three shoes yes even the 6 protros, I literally sold off my entire Kobe collection once I tried the Yushuai 18 ultra and wow 10 now gamma.
      Shoes is super breathable as well as the material is similar to the Jordan 36/37 models lenoweave or whatever it’s called.
      I have Liren 4 and v2 on the way, I want to compare the liren 4 to wade 10 and v2 to gamma as cheaper alternatives in hopes of same performance, liren 4 can’t really compare to Yushuai 18 ultra as it has the carbon plate and midfoot plastic torsional plate gives a serious diving board effect that’s just amazing and the boom is thick and bouncy with stock insole add the boomerang insole and you have the craziest setup ever. I forgot to mention I put the gamma boom insole in the wow 10 lows I have and they made the shoe so much better for me, significant bounce and gave me some more slight room in the toe box, no longer a minor issue for me. Any questions just ask!
