    Great video like always. I only have the Dame Certified from this video. But I agree. I gave up on a lot of shoes because, I did not give them enough time. Zoom separate I feel is another for me. I'm a big guy with wide feet, but pretty nimble. So I still need great traction and willing to sacrifice a little comfort. Be blessed brother, hope fatherhood is being good to you. Salute @Tommy.

    I remember the days when break in periods are kinda standard process. You gotta burn the rubber, endure blisters and callouses from the fit/materials, and that takes weeks.

    • @TommyLiu4
      @TommyLiu4  10 днів тому +2

      Yes older models, for sure needed much more break in time. Otherwise some could be literal bricks on feet 😂 I’d be surprised often too at how nicely some of the older ones can feel once things turn around over time.

    Love this video! I think as nice as it is for hoop shoes to be instantly broken in, it doesn't always feel like a shoe that's one to one with you when ti comes to breaking in a shoe. (Side note: I never had the OG GT Cut, but have the 2 & 3.) I think that the 2 gets a lot of unnecessary hate, and from my experience I've very much enjoyed the shoe.

    The Giannis Immortality 3 has top tier traction once you brake them in. On indoor courts has a nice bite at clean courts but on dust it picked up a lot but when you keep using them onclean courts more often or dusty courts (of course it needs wiping) the traction will pick up dust less and it will still have an amazing bite plus it will sqk more overtime
