      Ant’s shoes are ugly, but they’re performance beasts, and they grow on you. I get corns and toe blisters in the HV7s even when I go up a full size, which sucks because I love how they look. I love playing in AE1s the most, though. I don’t notice the weight, especially because my play style isn’t too jump heavy.

    Just hooped in the AE1 for the first time today. 5’11”, 210lbs, patellar tendinitis in both knees. Athletic style of play, lots of cuts, jumps, & sprints. For me this is one of the best shoes I’ve ever hooped in, at least on the first wear. Definitely fluid with each step like you said. I felt a lot of impact protection, which is important considering my knee issues and play style. The cushion was really comfortable and responsive for me, not squishy at all. I think this is a top tier hoop shoe for everyone despite the weight, but I think this shoe is BEST suited for heavier athletic players who will barely even notice the heaviness… like an Anthony Edwards 😂. I also had a lot less knee pain after hooping in these compared to my Freak 4s and my WOW All City 11s . The super fluid motion of the AE1 + the thick cushioning kept my knees from taking a beating.

      Dang near identical stats to you, along with knee pain and back pain at 37 years old. Your post might have made me try these. Weight doesn’t bother me, played in the Harden Vol 2 and Lebron 19 Highs. The cushioning was the main thing I’m worried about, particularly the forefoot thickness and impact protection (I hate court feel).

      In your opinion which is better, the Zoom Freak 4 or the AE1?

    • @ChrisFluhnoy
      @ChrisFluhnoy 7 місяців тому

      @@cosimocavallo3823 For me the AE1 is way better. It checks all my boxes - traction, support, cushion, absorbs a lot of impact, fluidity, responsiveness. Freak 4 is a great shoe though especially for how much it costs on sale. It’s light, 10/10 traction, good lateral support & lockdown.

    I hooped in the AE 1 for the first time and I am very impressed. I typically wear Lebrons which I have been noticing pain in my knees the next day. With the AE 1, I felt little to no pain. I felt more nimble and able to sprint down the court effortlessly. I'm waiting for the different color ways to go on sale to purchase some more for my collection.

    Have my Vol.7 and it really feels good every time I hoop, and then with the AE1, I feel I might get a pair due to "performance and hugging feel, better than harden 7" but then came the Vol. 8 too. So I think I'll wait for your comparison video for Vol.8 and AE1, and hope its sooner
