That ac12 encores are very good but I had the same problem it is a piece of stiff fabric sticking out from the stitching which make that part of your foot hurt for the next 2 days
Caught myself some WOW 11 for 150€ during black week. Big steal especially when considering I've got myself the All City 12 Encore before for the same price
361 quick pro and ANTA Kai 1 were very good. I could never see placing the book 1 as the top shoe. To each his own. My 3 go to shoes for this year are 1. WOW 10 low 2. and 3. are a tie …the Lebron 22 and the GT Cut 3
I liked the Kai 1 but not as a top 10 shoe and for 361 - I never got them in my size and they hurt my feet in the smaller size. But I heard that they are amazing. But as you said, to each his own :) I like your top 3 too btw!
It's a shame New Balance doesn't sell the wide versions of their basketball shoes in Europe. Both the Fresh Foam BB v2 and the Two Wxy v4 are way too tight around the forefoot for me. I'm surprised you're able to wear them as a wide footer.
He always goes a full size up since he has really wide feet. That’s probably why they fit him . Two wxy v4 was absurdly narrow. FF BB v2 wasn’t as bad but I still got pinching. Then I ordered FF BB v2 2E and STILL got pinching. Being a wide footer is rough bro haha
@@kieransoregaard-utt8 I think it's mostly because people with wide foot rarely say _where_ their foot is wide. From what he said, the width in his foot is mostly in the middle, while for me it's at the forefoot metatarsals. And that's also where the FFBBv2 and Two Wxy line are too tight for me.
@@Wladislav yea, that’s true, people’s feet are wide in different places. It’s super confusing with all these reviewers, someone will say a shoe is narrow and then another reviewer will say the same shoe is wide foot friendly. All I know is I have a ton of trouble finding shoes that fit me, if sucks.
@ yea exactly, any that have worked well for you lately? Sounds like our feet are wide in the same place. Best I’ve found recently are Two Wxy v5 2E and Kawhi 4 2E.
Thanks so much Lukas - are the Book1's ok for wide feet (usually my pinky toe feels squished in some basketball shoes). Thanks & merry holidays to you!
@ls_hoops no bro, I live im latin america so I need something more breathable with good ventilation, im asking about the first version of it. I really trust your reviews so I would be glad if you had any thoughts in it
If durability is an issue for you the 361. Sabrina 2 durability is one of the worst but it is a great performing shoe. 361 i only heard good things about it. Like all the things you want in a shoe, it has.
How about taking away the fit issue, which is better performance, the AC 12 or Wow 11 is just pure performance taking away the fit problems, which is better?
@@ls_hoops I think they have updated sizes now, what size u wearing bro? If u could try and play with it its like the complete performer, have a lot of top tier shoes but 5 quick pro trumps them
Fair enough bro I definitely understand it. Other brand are just doing way more in terms of creativity and performance. Have you ever tried ASICS basketball shoes? Those would really interest me haha
@@reticlesyt5738 if you got the later version of the all city 12 , they used different material and rubber and made it so much better. I got the encore 12s and I’m not impressed . 0 grip
I decided against putting Kobes as they are hard to get and release every year. LeBron 21 was dope but released in 2023 and I didn’t like the 22 as much
One of the few guys performance review I take serious. Amazing as always. Cheers bud.
Thanks man! Merry Christmas 🎁

Yeah sadly not a shoe for people with slightly wide feet
Caught myself some WOW 11 for 150€ during black week. Big steal especially when considering I've got myself the All City 12 Encore before for the same price
Thats a great deal!
Hey dude it's me I been waiting for your upload about the collection of shoes since you start vloging and now 2024
Hey man! I’m working on it! It’s a big project and got delayed a little bit by me moving to another club
Thanks idol I tell more for my friends to support you
Book 1 is a lock as your number 1 😂
Great lineup though personally, I still have AE1 as my top shoe 😊
📚😂
Damn I have cancelled my AE 1 order and bought Jordan 39's... I kinda regretted now that I don't see those in your list lol
Dont be, their great shoes ,its probs a lack of stability is what lukas didnt like but it isnt a bad shoe
AE1s are also extremely heavy and heel slippage prone. Jordan 39s have good tech
Haha don’t worry they are nice too but just like Karser said I didn’t like the stability
Can you do a review in move game day and game day pro insoles?
I’ll see if I can do that!
How about the Don issue 6s?
I didn’t like them as much. A bit too stiff and narrow
What's a good low budget shoe for a wide foot, big guard who likes to drive to the basket
AE 1
what do you think gt cut academy or dame certified 3?
gt cut academy
Love both of them

@@kieransoregaard-utt8 Yuup, it's very difficult. Especially in a world where we can't go to a store and try them on.

Do you use orthotics in your shoes?
I use VKTRY insoles but not in every shoe. Only the ones that don’t have a carbon shank/stiff mid foot
Thanks so much Lukas - are the Book1's ok for wide feet (usually my pinky toe feels squished in some basketball shoes).
Thanks & merry holidays to you!
I've been ok with wide feet
Went for my 0.5 size up TTS
Merry Christmas to you too! I would go half a size up and you should be fine :)
Will you be reviewing Joker 1s?
They don't make them in his size, afaik.
When they drop in my size- yes!
any thoughts on the WOW flash 2? it's the only one I can afford right now
You mean the one with upgraded/thicker material? If so they are amazing in terms of value for money
@ls_hoops no bro, I live im latin america so I need something more breathable with good ventilation, im asking about the first version of it. I really trust your reviews so I would be glad if you had any thoughts in it
Hello. Do you think the don issue 6 are good shoes for centers? I just bought them and wanted to know
Hey! If you don’t need a lot of cushion then yes 🙌
Should I get big 3 5.0 quick pro or Sabrina 2?
If durability is an issue for you the 361. Sabrina 2 durability is one of the worst but it is a great performing shoe. 361 i only heard good things about it. Like all the things you want in a shoe, it has.
@@D3L3T3I tried the Sabrina 2 and they feel nice low to the ground I’m just worried about durability, is the 5.0 quick pro low to the ground?
Is the Book 1 good for outdoors?
Yes the solid rubber outsole is very durable
What about the translucent one?
Would you prefer the harden 7 or 8?
for me harden 7 for looks and the 8s for performance
I like the 7 more because of the fit
hi, can I use the Dame certified 3 outdoors?
Yes definitely
Hello wich one is better wow 11 or wow 12 encore?
I have the AC12 encore a bit higher up in the ranking
How about taking away the fit issue, which is better performance, the AC 12 or Wow 11 is just pure performance taking away the fit problems, which is better?
Is ja 2 is good for outdoor? Like rough and dusty court
I dont think Ja 2 is good outdoors because its not very durable, there better on indoors
@@BANDIT-9947even it has an ep label?
@@yodream2219 I don’t know haven’t seen anything about ep ja 2.
The JA 1 is way better for outdoors, the 2 is not very durable
Swap the laces of the sunset and sunries
You might be on to something 👀
how about 808 4 ultras? they're not in top 10?
I have them in my honorable mentions :)
What do you think abount wow son of flash? Can i find a better shoe at the same price?
Ps: you are the best❤
No in terms of value for money they are the best imo! 🔥
love my book 1s
Yessir! I can’t wait for the upcoming “Sedona” colorway 🙌
@LS, What do your feet measure in cm or inches?
In CM the length is around 29-30 I think
Yoo, I just picked up harden 8s.I also just got gt cut 1s for $50 used from someone
Are they real
Two great options bro!
@@Kxgurayea they js used
No way 361 5 quick pro is not on the list
361 🥇
I sadly never got the chance to try them in my size. That’s the sole reason they are not there as they were way too narrow in a smaller size
@@ls_hoops up size
@@ls_hoops I think they have updated sizes now, what size u wearing bro? If u could try and play with it its like the complete performer, have a lot of top tier shoes but 5 quick pro trumps them
Wow did not buy Nike for 2 years, haha, Book 1 still not able to motiviate me to join back Nike.
Comment from Hong Kong
Fair enough bro I definitely understand it. Other brand are just doing way more in terms of creativity and performance. Have you ever tried ASICS basketball shoes? Those would really interest me haha
The all city 12 is way better than the encores
nah
Damn hot take
@@reticlesyt5738 if you got the later version of the all city 12 , they used different material and rubber and made it so much better. I got the encore 12s and I’m not impressed . 0 grip
Only reason I chose the to buy the regular is because the encore’s tongue was to thin.
Inconsistent grip! Mine suck on semi dusty courts but I see others at my gym doing just fine
Encore pinching the middle of my feet. I prefer the dame 9 all day
💯💯
Nice list, but for me, Puma All-Pro Nitro is so much better ...
Fair enough!
Remember yall he has different feet and a different game than you. Asks for different things from shoes than you do.
Very well said bro!
Ja 2 are creazy bro 😞😞
I liked them but not in a top 10 kinda way 🥲
Why don’t Kobe’s or LeBron’s make the list?
I decided against putting Kobes as they are hard to get and release every year. LeBron 21 was dope but released in 2023 and I didn’t like the 22 as much
Dbook 1 is probably the ugliest looking shoes of 2024.
Hahah I love the looks but everyone has different taste
What’s the best colour way for the ac12? I got the Sunday home( white and purple)
I like the pink one that released a lot
