    My 1st ever shoe is the do win, and it's still going strong, but the lu xiaojun shoes are tempting me so hard. I think I can wait till my do wins start seeing some damage though.

    I just got a pair on these and glad you have a possitive review on them haha, last pair I had was adipower 3, got them when they came out and not very long till I saw your video despising them and got kinda sad hahah even still I only used them for squats so I didnt have a problem other than them being a little bit big since had to half size up due to the narrow toe box. Solid Shoe man gonna use them for only squats still but definetely these feel way more quality and durable, my adipowers look like crap after only 1 year and a half max

    Thanks for the review! I was going to buy these, but now that you said two more shoes are coming out this year, I think I will hold off! Are the other shoes comparable in quality/performance--specifically in the snatch/c&j?

    I love my Anta 1s however I will say the weight of them did take a while to become accustomed to. It would be interesting to try these if they're indeed lighter and if they feel as planted to the ground.

    Said this before, but the Lu shoes are definitely the 'replacement,' or rather 'current era'- version of the Romaleo 2s. Everyone has them, everyone seems to favour them, and everyone keeps wearing them after the novelty has worn off. Rom 2s are selling for insane prices now, and the average seems to be about what you could buy these new Lu lifters for. I've been using the gold colourway for a few months now, and I don't have any complaints whatsoever.

    I've been using anta2s since August or so and I have very mixed feelings about them tho.
    My best description would be that they feel like winter shoe with an extra thick sole.

    I don't know if heavier lifters don't like the Asics or if it's just they can't get them in the sizes they need. 10ish US is all they go up to unless you get customs. 102-9kg Ryunosuke Mochida has always been in Roms even though he could have got customs like everyone else on the Japanese team. Looks like he's been in Tyrs the past year. Eishiro Murakami has always been in Asics, and he's the Japanese Industrial Fridge. His fellow super Kosuke Chinen has worn various Romaleos and the Asics, not sure why he switches.

    Maybe a very dumb question, but why doesn't Nike just remake the Rom 2's? No changes, just the exact same shoe as back in the day.

    • @sikastrength
      @sikastrength  5 місяців тому +13

      It's likely nike pay absolutely zero attention to what goes on, multiple cooks saying they have the right sauce so it would make them look like they're previous shoes were a waste of time, rom 4s owners would be pretty annoyed if they said 'oh these rom 2s are actually better' and we're reprinting cause 3 and 4 kinda suck.
      To be honest I'm kind of surprised they even bother with the weightlifting shoe market

    Got them last week, the quality seems really great but the sizing is way off. I followed the sizing guide on the website and they are a full size too small. Also the return policy of the EU shop is a joke, I'm not paying 30€ extra shipping just because the size guide is wrong.
