AE1 is way better than Ja1 and Book1 with its shoe technology for a debut level price point signature shoe, Nike just cost cutting nowadays with their mediocre materials.
Same here, Nike down to the socks, never copped an Adidas basketball shoe (Harden, Dame, Trae, or D.Rose)...Ant's shoe is the only one I couldn't resist.
I’m torn between the AE1 or the Harden’s…been hearing great things about both but don’t know which one to buy without trying them on first…I miss the Footaction days where you walk-in and ask to try on shoes before buying 😒
I literally just picked up the Book 1 Rattlesnake on drop. I'm a Suns fan, and I've been trying to get any Book 1s at retail. I'm finally happy to just own a pair.
The AE1 is what the Book 1 was supposed to be. I don’t think the Book 1 is a bad shoe but Nike released the worst color ways and kept the good ones as exclusive PEs. I’ve only seen 2 or 3 pairs of AE’s that were not made available to the public.
I just got my Book #1s the other day, man it's a hell of a shoe so comfy but as can we as causal kicks with jeans. They are 🔥🔥 I really wanna get the AE1s to hoop in too as they look nice!! Great video mate, you put so much info and research into your videos. Kudos to you sir 👏
The Nike Book 1 is the best overall shoe I have to play in right now and I own a lot of Jordan, Nike, Adidas, and puma. It’s the best on court performance shoe for my game style as a guard. It reminds me of a low top Kobe mixed with a skate shoe, that has the look of something classic yet modern. It performs great and at the same time I never see anyone else with them and always get compliments. My votes for the Book 1
Nike should bring back those Book cartoon commercials. I think that would win. The range of creativity they’d have to play with, attracting a bigger youth audience, plus it’s a proven method. Look at the Lil’ Penny commercial that were iconic.
Another great video man! I prefer Nike but ANT has the better shoe imo, and that AD he had was so sick I’ve never seen it before and makes me almost wanna cop a pair lowkey !
The AE 1 is part of a great lineup from Adidas Basketball right now. They’ve cooked up something special that’s reminiscent of Nike Basketball in the 90’s.
Awesome breakdown of both. As much as I want to love the Book1s with the silhouette being the best out of the two, the colorways have completely killed my interest in them with each general release. Unfortunately we see him play way more in the random PEs that although are understandably homages to his grails…it hurts my ability to connect with the model as it seems to have no storytelling identity beyond being shoes that book can do his own Nike ID with. The orange ones were the ones but as things often goes…they weren’t available to the masses which was a huge misstep. Hopefully Nike will design a cool enough colorway with them one day bc even with my critiques I do believe the shoe still has great potential
@NachoAverageFinds Hard disagree. To me the simplicity is why they pop. Like the Cortez, they go with anything and aren't ridiculous like clown shoes. I love crazy sneakers too, but they look silly wearing them as casual beaters. Like rainbow colored Air Jordans vs soft spoken dunk lows with muted colors
Booker's shoes look good to me, however Nike is ROYALLY fucking up getting his shoe out there. Adidas is doing the right thing with AE's shoe and Nike is knee-capping Booker's shoe from the jump
Ngl they both have debut fire shoes. But imo the best debut shoe atm and i feel like is being slightly ignored are the Sabrina 1s. Im saying this because im frm North-East India and you'll see Sabrina's loved and rocked all over the country and i think we all know how popular it is with NBA players. Also Fake Sabrina's are super mass produced and i cant say the same for the other twos. They are nowhere to be seen and trust me we love ourselves some new sneakers!
Lucky I managed to snag a pair of the "Haven" Book 1s before they sold out over here. But if Adidas put out a DX colorway of the AE1, I just might superkick somebody for a pair. Lmao
They should fall back on the color ways. They are missing out on money by releasing them so quickly. Follow the Jordan format and the shoes will go crazy.
I will be getting the Books as they look more versatile and luxurious. The Edwards look way to cluttered but I understand it was built for the court so i respect that however i need a shoes that I can wear on and off the court snd Books seem to fit that requirement.
To me devin booker shoe kind of makes no sense since he played in sneakers like the hyper flights and Kobe you would think they take ideas from both and try to make it whole but they alright I guess
@12:17 exact reason I stopped buying Nike basketball shoes. "Modern performance features" with four techs that we've seen for decades, like what's new here? Nike shoes in 90s all the way up to 2017ish featured more tech, like we got full length zoom and carbon fiber plate in Jordan 12, a shoe almost 30 years old. Nike has been cutting way too much corners with tech and quality control that it's bascially charging you extra $$ for the swoosh branding. May I also add all of these corner cutting are also happening the SAME TIME as price increases, not a coincident that you see ALL of Nike signature shoes at outlet.
Is anyone buying Booker’s shoe? Was anyone hanging out for them? Does anyone actively watch Booker outside of Phoenix? In summary does anyone give a shit about Booker besides when he’s getting punked by Luka or Ant?
Even Booker does not have star power. Is he a star, yes, but star power would mean that you can be marketed. I don’t think Books game or personality essentially makes him marketable
AE1 is way better than Ja1 and Book1 with its shoe technology for a debut level price point signature shoe, Nike just cost cutting nowadays with their mediocre materials.
I tend to prefer Nike over Adidas but Ant definitely has the better shoe
yeah i tried them on and they are high powered!!!! they are better than bookers shoes.
Good to know !@@drewali7
💯
Yea and it's not even close 😂
AE1 is way better than Ja1 and Book1 with its shoe technology for a debut level price point signature shoe, Nike just cost cutting nowadays with their mediocre materials.
Nike fanboy here and Ant is the only player that made me cop an Adidas joints since Derrick Rose
Same here, Nike down to the socks, never copped an Adidas basketball shoe (Harden, Dame, Trae, or D.Rose)...Ant's shoe is the only one I couldn't resist.
Nike fanboy here I’d never rock. Stripes
I live in Phoenix and i haven't seen anyone wearing Booker's shoe casually.
😂😂😂
Lmfao same bro haven’t seen anyone rock em
I haven’t even seen people hoop in them
Booker's shoes is about as creative as his personality
Tough haha
Is this a supposed to be a diss cause he used his own dog for the design. Sounds pretty creative to me.
@@Nyualum17your wording sounds so wrong
sarcasm is neat
EXACTLY. TY BRO BOOK 1 ALL THE WAY
The animation is crazy bro!!! Stepped it up!!
🫡🫡
That ant commercial was siiiiiiick!!!
Iconic
Bought both. Like both. Like the Ants more.
I’m torn between the AE1 or the Harden’s…been hearing great things about both but don’t know which one to buy without trying them on first…I miss the Footaction days where you walk-in and ask to try on shoes before buying 😒
Those AE1 are dope one of the best adidas shoes I've seen.
I literally just picked up the Book 1 Rattlesnake on drop. I'm a Suns fan, and I've been trying to get any Book 1s at retail. I'm finally happy to just own a pair.
I definitely want the Hike colorway! Congrats on the cop
I have started believing that Adidas makes more groundbreaking designs than Nike
Shoe of 2024 and credit to Adidas they have took care of Antman like a mega star
Really cool seeing performance BB models being popular in the casual scene! Great video as always!
The AE1 is what the Book 1 was supposed to be. I don’t think the Book 1 is a bad shoe but Nike released the worst color ways and kept the good ones as exclusive PEs. I’ve only seen 2 or 3 pairs of AE’s that were not made available to the public.
Yeah those initial releases were some kohls colorways
The Ant 1 silhouette should be a template for all subsequent Ant shoes. It's a classic and it's now part of his identity
We needed Ant Man so bad with all the OGs retiring soon
Absolutely!
Book's shoes could take you directly from the red carpet to the courts
I just got my Book #1s the other day, man it's a hell of a shoe so comfy but as can we as causal kicks with jeans. They are 🔥🔥
I really wanna get the AE1s to hoop in too as they look nice!!

The AE 1 Low is a cherry on the top.

Bro when you post I get the popcorn on standby 💀
Hope you enjoyed it!
@@NachoAverageFinds already know it❤️
I actually fw Book's shoes but the AE1s are too fire, Adidas def got one.
Love this channel! Great to see more content from you guys 👟
Thank you Matty!
Another great video man! I prefer Nike but ANT has the better shoe imo, and that AD he had was so sick I’ve never seen it before and makes me almost wanna cop a pair lowkey !
He’s going to be the face of basketball if pulls off this game 7
Bro you legit could be on Complex, you are the best
Appreciate you saying that! They do a good job over there at complex
i'm glad we get new adidas basketball sneakers we've only seen nike and converse with new models
Same here
The AE 1 is part of a great lineup from Adidas Basketball right now. They’ve cooked up something special that’s reminiscent of Nike Basketball in the 90’s.
Yessir! Working on a video about their comeback rn actually
This comparison is so lopsided not a debate who’s better
This was recorded before the wolves swept the suns
@@NachoAverageFinds yeah I know how it be but still even then ant is and will be a better player than Booker
Awesome breakdown of both. As much as I want to love the Book1s with the silhouette being the best out of the two, the colorways have completely killed my interest in them with each general release.

Thats a great point! The original colorways to release are definitely boring and cookie cutter
@NachoAverageFinds Hard disagree. To me the simplicity is why they pop. Like the Cortez, they go with anything and aren't ridiculous like clown shoes. I love crazy sneakers too, but they look silly wearing them as casual beaters. Like rainbow colored Air Jordans vs soft spoken dunk lows with muted colors
Kuya, posted the Atlanta Peach in the FB group lol! I was pleased to get em over the Book 1's!
Let’s go! Salamat
Nike fumbled the book 1 release. It's a dope shoe and should have been marketed better.
both Luka's son have a signature line.
I like Ant as a player more than Book, but you can rock Book's shoes with casual pants & jeans
Luka’s kids 😂😂
😂😂😂
AE sneakers are way better its not even close
Stormtroopers and the grey cameo one GAME 7 against the nuggets graves into my mind when I think ant shoes
Booker's shoes look good to me, however Nike is ROYALLY fucking up getting his shoe out there. Adidas is doing the right thing with AE's shoe and Nike is knee-capping Booker's shoe from the jump
Definitely has been a rough roll out
Awesome video. Where did you learn how to animate like that? Looks amazing
That’s my editor 🔥🔥
I think you can add the Harden shoes in here too
Gonna a do video covering the entire adidas basketball roster in the next few weeks 🫡
I can’t even lie but them AE1s are pretty clean. I don’t rock 3stripes like that but these got my eye
Luka Doncic is Devin booker father
Pretty much lmao
I feel like people hate on Book’s just to hate on them
Facts
The EastBay lettering on that hat is nice😊
Aye! Glad you noticed 🙌
Ant’s commercial feels like a classic Jordan commercial.
Is that a Baker Skateboards shirt?!?! Dope!
Yessir
AE's shoes remind me of the Adidas Mad Handle shoes from 2001...
So many great shoes from the past that don't get alot of recognition.
Ngl they both have debut fire shoes. But imo the best debut shoe atm and i feel like is being slightly ignored are the Sabrina 1s. Im saying this because im frm North-East India and you'll see Sabrina's loved and rocked all over the country and i think we all know how popular it is with NBA players. Also Fake Sabrina's are super mass produced and i cant say the same for the other twos. They are nowhere to be seen and trust me we love ourselves some new sneakers!
They’re fire! Definitely look like Kobs. I’d like to do a video about them
After the Antony ad an addidas ad appeared
I would bet a large bag of cash that Pusha T helped script that AE1 Commercial
😂😂😂
High quality video as always. Like a documentary. I would give it to the ae1. I think the designer took more risk.
100%
What a unique video.
Thanks brotha
Damn he banged on bruh 😂😂
AE 1 on top!
Lucky I managed to snag a pair of the "Haven" Book 1s before they sold out over here. But if Adidas put out a DX colorway of the AE1, I just might superkick somebody for a pair. Lmao
That would be 🔥🔥
He dribbled at that dunk big time
Great video 😁
Thanks 😁
Book hike go crazy💯just got a pair
Looking to grab a pair as well
and how long until they need to "retro" it to pick up sales?
One got swept the other is still in the playoffs
I wrote this script prior to the playoffs. Was not expecting the sweep 😂
Ae1 is 🔥 💯
is this even a debate? AE1 has brought back Adidas basketball
Yeah making a whole video dedicated to Adidas basketball
Which shoe is better for shooting guards?
They should fall back on the color ways. They are missing out on money by releasing them so quickly. Follow the Jordan format and the shoes will go crazy.
CAN YOU PL SHOW YOUR SHOE COLECTION
Definitely will make a video soon
"which shoe is better? personally im basing it off of nothing about the actual shoes themselves"
I will be getting the Books as they look more versatile and luxurious. The Edwards look way to cluttered but I understand it was built for the court so i respect that however i need a shoes that I can wear on and off the court snd Books seem to fit that requirement.
Bro relly couldnt glaze Anthony Edwards cuz he got eliminated so now hes glazing his shoes💀💀.
I might have to grab some of those book 1's for my children, they like that classic clean look.
both shoes are fresh though. great video...
To me devin booker shoe kind of makes no sense since he played in sneakers like the hyper flights and Kobe you would think they take ideas from both and try to make it whole but they alright I guess
after 20 years of nike i switched ae1 !! 😂❤
I was done when the Booker talk came up.
They need to restock the AE1
My thing is, can Adidas/Ant follow up after such a successful shoe debut.
AE2 will be highly anticipated
Totally agree @@NachoAverageFinds
Adidas running/walking shoes are the best. Amazingly comfortable, stylish and affordable.

Design wise adidas has been killing it. This couple of years. Nike and jordan just stop designing .
Please make history of lebron shoes series
Would be nice..my favorite was the one with the lion logo on the tung!
Book 1 literally looks like AF 1's ngl.
Yeah that’s what they set out to do. A classic silhouette
Can you Martin Lawrence shoes on his show Martin next please
great vid but title has nothing to do with the actual video lol
Ant is my favorite player of the group of young guns.
I think they should give a free pair for Booker T
Cool video
Thank you
@@NachoAverageFinds your welcome
Can’t get the ae1…anywhere
They’re in Adidas stores
@@NachoAverageFinds never seen one here in Texas. Youth sizes maybe.
Nike book 1 all the way
They’re dope right!? I like em
Wearing the blue Book 1’s NOW.
He’s gonna get injured in those shoes. Adidas have a history
He’ll probably have the AE2 ready to go for the next season
This is one of the reasons I stopped F’n with Nike. How you limiting current bball shoes and only so called celebrities getting a pair?
devin booker shoes look like air force 1
Is anyone buying Booker’s shoe? Was anyone hanging out for them? Does anyone actively watch Booker outside of Phoenix? In summary does anyone give a shit about Booker besides when he’s getting punked by Luka or Ant?
They look like baby shoes
What? 😂😂
Baby shoes with the soft bottom
@@michaelfontenot2368Lol like the toddler shoes when they learning how to Walk. I can't unsee it now!!😂😂
I would much rather play basketball in ant's. But I would much rather wear book's out on the town
Yeah that makes sense. Although a lot of cats rock those AE1s with jeans
Even Booker does not have star power. Is he a star, yes, but star power would mean that you can be marketed. I don’t think Books game or personality essentially makes him marketable
It’s really not a competition imo
You can't say the ae 1 saved adidas when adidas literally made the harden 7 last year
Book1 is boring af. Adidas has been killing it lately with their performance shoes
Ant man for me, for sure.
ADIDAS ❤
AE1 is way better than Ja1 and Book1 with its shoe technology for a debut level price point signature shoe, Nike just cost cutting nowadays with their mediocre materials.
Damn I'm early
Nike is sooo lazy now i swear 🥲
They mishandled his drop for sure
I said the same thing Nike done made so much money they don't give a dam about the consumers anymore 🤷🏿♂️
Adidas Ant
