2 Fingers in the back got it!!....I have been listening to Shaboozey, Luke Combs, Journey, Taylor Swift, White Snake, Post Malone, Gamazda, Madonna, Stan Bush, Noah Kahan, Foreigner, U2, Van Halen, and Kid Laroi lately. That mix gets me through the workout grind easily.
My pair came in the mail yesterday, and I can't wait to try them out. I pretty much listen to anything that catches my ear but 80's & 90's R&B is my favorite.
Man Chris’ has a good mix of music I did not expect. Personally I’ve been listening to a lot of Peso Pluma, Natanael Cano, Travis Scott, Kendrick Lamar, Metro Boomin, Panic at the Disco, Paramore, Fall Out Boy, Red Velvet, Vince staples, Ken Carson, aespa, XG, LE SSERAFIM. These help me push through workouts or when I’m just doing stuff.
Man, that "finger in the back" it's imposible to not laugh at 😂. As a 44 y/o stucked between being the last of the x gen and the beginning of the millennials, I enjoy listening soft or hard rock (Elton John, Queen with all their wide style, Red Hot Chili Peppers), prog rock, heavy metal, death metal, prog metal, prog death like Gojira or Leprous, djent, but also love old school hip hop (2Pac, Biggie, Cypress Hill, Dre, Snoop, LL Cool J to the Beastie Boys, Eminem and others) punk rock, electronic music (from dance music to daft punk to underworld to psychedelic trance) and also like NSYNC, Michael Jackson, Madonna, but alsoooo nu metal, rap metal, well, buuut also jazz, some other latin rythms and that's it, I love music 😂
I was so excited for these but the heel slippage is so bad for me and I went down half a size. The highs might be heavy but a better shoe in my opinion
Still want to pick up a pair of lows. Haven’t yet. Trying to get more time with the GT Cut 3, the Game1 and Kai 1 as well. Great review and comparison to the mid. I listen to a lot of stuff. Hip hop is regulated to old school stuff for me like Tribe Called Quest, Pharcyde, digital planets, etc. some days I gotta listen to rock from Boston, John Mellencamp, REO Speed Wagon, and other days I’m jamming to Empire of the Sun, Roosevelt and Cannons. That damn Sabrina Carpenter song “Expresso” is super catchy lol
QOTD: Primarily golden era, backpack, and boom bap hip hop; jazz, fusion, funk, and prog. To a lesser extent: r&b, rock, and old country. I try to listen to at least 90 minutes of music I've never heard before on a daily basis. My favorite decades are the 70s and 90s. Adidas is making moves with their basketball shoes. My only complaint with adidas, and it seems to carry over into the basketball sphere, is that the sizing from one model to another doesn't really mean much. You basically have to try on their shoes on a case-by-case basis. Thanks for the review! See you in the comments on the other channel a little further down the queue.
Chris i love the review and i love these low top version...I got all the ae 1 lows colorways, indigo, charcoal, mural, lime waiting for the christmas colorway come dec. And i hope they release the alternate us colorway and the white one...
Qotd: Prog Rock and Jazz Fusion mainly. Currently on Steely Dan and Electric Light Orchestra as I'm on a musical journey from famous groups starting from The Beatles. Studio albums only with some exceptions like Weather Report and Michael Jackson starting with their first true debut, like the first studio album that featured Jaco Pastorius on bass on the former and the latter with MJ really starting off with Off the Wall. Favorite band of all time is Rush for me, love their friendship.
I have both and love them but I would say the lows edge it for me. I just feel slightly quicker and more agile in them for some reason. I went half a size down as I did in the mids and my heels got ripped to pieces the first 2 weeks in the lows. Some grip socks fixed it for me though. They sold out super fast in the larger sizes in the uk on Adidas’ site!
can I ask what you mean with them tearing up your heels? I just bought the lows and sized down a half like you did and I'm just wondering how to avoid that.
Luke Bryan, Thomas Rhett, Florida Georgia Line, Ed Sheeran and a mix "older" hip-hop with rock! ❤️ Future question of the day : Other than the Golden State Warriors, which NBA franchise is your favorite and why?
Just saw New Found Glory in Cleveland, just before them Hootie and the Blowfish…great concerts! I listen to punk, rock, pop, hip/hop, screamo/emo, EDM. I like variety, if it has a good beat or rhythm…I’ll like it.
I listen to a lot of Old School Hip hop, Zydeco music from Louisiana, Shatta Muzik from Martinique and Guadalupe, Vintage Jazz, and reggaeton, Dembow, and Kompa.
Chris, I'm gonna reccommend you check out Bilmuri. They've got a couple songs featuring Knox, and the overall vibe is wack as hell, but it's kind of going in a country-metal-alternative direction. It's odd but it's a vibe.
Hey man, love the review! Just wanted to ask since you mentioned here 4:24 that the toe part hurt for a week and a half for this pair. How many hours/days of hooping does it usually take for you to consider that the shoe has been completely broken in? Thank you!
i ordered the olympic color way but i mailed them to my mothers house since im moving back to my hometown its just less stuff to pack . haven’t seen them in person yet cant wait to hoop in them
It’s interesting that they switched up the cushioning ….i wonder if that was due to AE’s request? As for the question of the day, Hmmmm….have not been listening to rap lately but I’m an r&b dude anyway…enjoyed the new Sabrina Carpenter album, added a few musicals to the rotation for practice purposes, The Wiz (as the show on broadway..LOVED IT. I want them to give the same treatment to that show as it was given to Mean Girls the musical), The Greatest Showman, H.E.R (i love and oils marry that lady asap), Avery Wilson, Maxwell…always in rotation Jodeci, Dru Hill, Whitney Houston, Kelly Clarkson, Jojo, Tori Kelly, boys II men ……..and the hots of Color me Badd. 😆
Why make the external heel counter look like carbon fibre when it’s not? If they think it makes them look more premium, when you find out it’s not real, it has the opposite effect
Am I the only one that disliked the shoes? The whole shoe just feels weird. Feel kind of hard and not as responsive. Had the Curry 11s before this if that makes a difference.
All i can say the heelslippage killed it. 😢😢😢 need to overtight the laces just to reduce the slippage. Change the laces to flats because the round laces always get loose. Im a victim of its overhype 😂😂😂
Damn, I think the AE1 originals are pretty dead in the forefoot, not such a bad thing but I don't want anything with even less impact protection or bounce in the forefoot.
I tried these in store and i went with my true size 9 because of my 🦆 feet. I also like a bit of room in my shoe too as the slant towards to toe is slightly more noticeable than most shoes for me
I don't understand why basketball shoes are all so low these days. They make you twist your ankle, especially if you tend to twist your ankle anyway. That's rubbish, mate.
Lows > mids. Aww man…. 80s/90s/00s classics/throwbacks stay in rotation. 👍🏼 Half of new/current rap & r&b are 🤷🏻♂️ I’m picky when it comes to current music. Lol
There has never been a sneaker that has more mixed reviews with regard to fit. It’s crazy how different every review is on the mid and low version of this sneaker. So weird…
There has been plenty and the issue remains the same. Majority of people don’t wear their true size. When you apply that to a low top then you’ll have improper fit. But the uninformed will blame the product instead of the user when it’s usually a user error.
QOTD Who's the bigger a$$hole, the person that pushes a cart really slow down a narrow aisle in the store or the person that takes forever at self checkout with a relatively small amount of items.
My girl got me the AE1 low in the ascent colorway as an anniv gift
"The finger in method". There is noooo way getting out of that one innocent lol.

Well I know where I’m gonna go this weekend then. 😄

Your reviews are 🔥. Music today seems more synthetic than in the past in all genre’s.
Thanks for the breakdown difference, so many different opinions on the lows all over social media but no tech explanations.
I just read your article in the mirror us I’m glad you addressed the Kobe’s and bots issue with Nike thanks chris for your content
Awesome review as always. 🔥
I listen to almost anything. I appreciate most genre’s.
That sweet laugh by Mrs. Wing was the highlight of the video LOL

I fricken love these pairs 🔥🔥 was waiting on this review!
I love the AE1s mids!!
True to size is best, going half size down i felt exactly what Chris felt - toes getting crushed.
Ill listen to anything with a good beat. I do enjoy Elvis, Sinatra, Lil Wayne, Justin Timberlake, Ed Sheeran, AC/DC, Eminem
Been on One Be Lo, Lojii, Last Jazz Club, Jay Rock and DOOM.
I got the Mid version in the mail and they look way better in person. Fits well.

The AE 1 mids were bad for me. Had to return them. Hoping these lows fit my feet better.

I listen to punk, rock, pop, hip/hop, screamo/emo, EDM. I like variety, if it has a good beat or rhythm…I’ll like it.
YO!!! Shoutout to Knox!
Did not expect to hear his name in an AE1 Performance review haha
Know him from here in Nashville.
I listen to a lot of Old School Hip hop, Zydeco music from Louisiana, Shatta Muzik from Martinique and Guadalupe, Vintage Jazz, and reggaeton, Dembow, and Kompa.
Acoustic pop / rock - and 2k rock (LP, Panic at the Disco, Fallout Boy, etc)
Chris, I'm gonna reccommend you check out Bilmuri. They've got a couple songs featuring Knox, and the overall vibe is wack as hell, but it's kind of going in a country-metal-alternative direction. It's odd but it's a vibe.
Which do you think is better this or the dame 9? For wide footers
Mrs. Wing in the background just waiting for all the "that's what she said" moments 😂
Love the playlist

@@chrls1738 i would say if ur playing everyday for 2 hours it will take like a around month

You guys are the best! 😂
Chris you should show everyone the finger method, a visual would help.
He did
@@WearTesters Sorry I should have said show the viewer when he mentions it, so he doesn't feel weirded out when he says it.
What would be the best solution for those of us who went true to size and feel some heel slip?
lately i have been listening to i prevail, bad omens , lorna shore, sleep theory and on saturdays we put intocable on the gym
Where did you get that Kobe shirt?
Hi I’m from Argentina, i use in my shoes orthopedic insoles. I’m 13 us, Do you decide that I buy half a size more or half a size less?
Where can I buy the “Since” Kobe shirt? Those are fire, and thanks for the performance review as always! 🙏🏼
Pre-Orders begin Sept. 16
I listen to the sound of weartesters
😂
I love them both but will only buy the lows from now on because the mids are so hard to put on and I am not a wide foot at all

Am I the only one that disliked the shoes? The whole shoe just feels weird. Feel kind of hard and not as responsive. Had the Curry 11s before this if that makes a difference.
Wanted this color so bad and the grey as well but i settled for the lime green lows to me the lows feel better then the highs and they are cheaper
It sucks that they won't release the Christmas Edition in OG/Mid version, I don't quite like the lows...
Finger in the back.... amd the stare... 😂😂😂 Do more comedy, man, it suits you! 👍
Mgk! Nice! Need to do a collaboration with him.
what happened to the other weartesters?
Knok is fire n of course mgk😊
All i can say the heelslippage killed it. 😢😢😢 need to overtight the laces just to reduce the slippage. Change the laces to flats because the round laces always get loose. Im a victim of its overhype 😂😂😂
Where can I get the tshirt you are wearing?
SinceApparel.com - pre-orders start September 16
Listen to everything
had to buy 1/2 size up,have to wear 2 pair of socks...
1/2 size up in these mean size or 1.5 size up
I bet Jodi loves Pumpkin Spice too. 😂
Yup!
“Try to get one finger in the back” 🤣
Try Listening to this kid, Livingston. Love his latest album, Hometown Odyssey.
Damn, I think the AE1 originals are pretty dead in the forefoot, not such a bad thing but I don't want anything with even less impact protection or bounce in the forefoot.
I feel like I still like the mids, especially because of colorways
*Who went TTS in these and realized that they don't run the same size wise as the mids? 😭*
I went up half a size & should have gone TT bc the heel slippage has me ordering another pair 😂
TTS in both mids and lows work for me with no heel slippage
Both fit the same for me 👍🏼
@@theadidaskid 🙋🏿♂️ me!!
Yep there slightly smaller IMO
Having worked in retail, most people don’t know their shoe size. Hell, Curry wore 2 sizes too large for his first couple seasons
Bingo
I tried these in store and i went with my true size 9 because of my 🦆 feet. I also like a bit of room in my shoe too as the slant towards to toe is slightly more noticeable than most shoes for me
I was wondering what those shoes were made of. I'm a rap junkie. Gucci, Da meckanics🎉
What is your favorite hoop shoe? Current and all time favs
The biggest difference for me is the weight - the lows are noticeably lighter.
Tom Petty mention !!!
I want those USA inspired shoes and they sold out in less than two hours
I want those for lifestyle
I don't understand why basketball shoes are all so low these days. They make you twist your ankle, especially if you tend to twist your ankle anyway. That's rubbish, mate.
They have a high/mid top option too!
Legendary Pause Episode 😂
Giannis reviews coming soon?

Who's the bigger a$$hole, the person that pushes a cart really slow down a narrow aisle in the store or the person that takes forever at self checkout with a relatively small amount of items.
I would love to get the mids, but the wallet says „No!“ at the moment.
Remember y'all... 2 fingers in the back to know if it's too loose or tight. 😉🤣🤣🤣
