Love the channel man and wifey came in clutch at the end she might need her own video after sparking that segway at the end. I was wondering why my PG 2 rubber burnt away😭.
Seriously, Chris, i absolutely love that you put an asterisk on your own personal experience with the traction and asked us to see other people's opinion. Much respect to you for that
I’ll definitely join the discord . You’ve provided a lot of helpful knowledge to me over the years . I’ve been watching your channel since the end of 8th grade when I was getting into basketball shoes . I graduated HS last year and I’m glad I’ve been following you for a long time and I’m happy to support !
Keep up the awesome work. I was trying to remember the first shoe I bought based on your review but I honestly can’t remember the last time I bought a shoe without waiting for your review.
Been with y’all since those heavy fuse overlays days. I remember being amazed on how in depth you went during the review and how I’d slowly recognize those elements while I was playing in that shoe. Def Joining the Discord!
Just had my first play in these out of the box for 3 hours of pick up and full court. The shock yellow/black colourway, with solid black outsole. Black solid outsole performs well. The rubber compound is quite hard and very grippy and squeeky when clean. Although it loses the hard bite when dusty. I didn't have any violent slides but on sudden hard and fast stops I can see it happening if you're not putting enough weight on your stopping foot. Dust is very easy to wipe off though. But it's seriously a court cleanliness problem if you start slipping. I think Chris is right saying the traction pattern is slightly too close as dust gets built up in between. If it was spaced out slightly more and compound was softer then I'm sure the traction would be very good. Also agreed that the cushion is super comfy and yet responsive for guard style play (better than the Dame 5 in terms of bounce cushion). Also sizing, I went true to size (not Adidas size or anything, just the proper size as Chris said!) for a very good fit, it might be a bit tight if you have thick Stance socks but normal socks is good. The base is also very wide and stable and flat, and supportive overall. Definitely recommend if your courts aren't filthy.
@@nelsenn4486 you should check out the "Jordan Jumpman 2021". There's no performance reviews out for it yet but I can see it's a good upgrade from the "Jordan Jumpman 2020". The outsole is still herringbone and now it's all rubber (rather than translucent in the 2020). The cushioning seems decent too! I haven't tried it on yet, I'm going to check it out in store again myself. I hope it's widefoot friendly and is somewhat flexible. If so, I'm gonna get a pair of those too
I'm so happy i was able to cop a venom pair yesterday. Also you have got to be the best shoe reviewer ever! will be surely joining the discord community
Just barely bought my pair this morning before work. Can’t wait to give them a try tomorrow. If traction is good I’m fully satisfied considering I can handle any cushion setup. If not then they’ll certainly be a good casual wear shoe. Great reviews as always Chris! I shall join the discord as well.
Dope vid as always my man the honesty is so appreciated. This shoe is on my radar for my next hoop shoe, I might pick up that venom colorway because it looks fire. Definitely might join the discord and talk about nerd stuff.
Agree on the traction.. U have to keep on wiping to get that grip. Overall, a very decent shoe but not a go to shoe for me. If only traction is like the pro bounce 2018.. 🔥🔥🔥
Still waiting for the venom colorway to arrive in our area, but if it doesn't come within the next few weeks then the stealth spidey colorway it is. Thanks for the review man, more power
Very nice job! Thank you man, i just needed a new pair and wasnt sure if i should take the Mamba Focus or these ones. I think i give them a try. Keep it up! Greets from Germany =)
They look like a great budget friendly option, especially if you’re a Spider-Man fan for that particular colourway. To echo a few other commenters really appreciate the clarification over the traction and your opinion, that’s a rare thing in the UA-cam space...
I have them and the traction was really good for me indoors and the court is pretty garbage. I honestly think it might be a case by case thing. I never played in them outdoors though. I was kinda waiting on your review so I could know if that was good on this shoe 😂. Honestly, this might be my favorite basketball shoe ever. I will definitely be joining that Discord chat too. Y'all do really good work!
Played with this twice, and I kinda agree with the traction. Played in a dusty court - slipping and sliding to the point of wanting to return the shoe. I've been playing in this court for 4 years and I never experienced any slipping from other shoes. Gave it a chance the following weekend, same court but was now mopped. Traction was perfect. But 2 hours into playing when the court was getting dustier I can feel the slip again but not as bad. Did a lot of wiping though and it helped. Haven't tried it outdoors yet to check if it's more consistent outside.
Was hoping these would perform really well, but having traction issues is not something I would take a risk in. Another awesome review as always 👌🏽 The venom and stealth spidey cw’s are very tempting still though. 😅
Picked these up and I'm with you, I had pretty constant slipping on the hardwood. Real shame because I was really excited to pick these up. Looks like I'll have to use these on the asphalt. Super comfortable but even when I was warming up and running drills I was slipping.
I have the same CW. I'm about at least 12 hours or so in them. ( I play 4x a week with at least 3 hours or so per session. ) My traction has been ok Few wiping here and there does the trick
I got these in orange and I love em but I gotta agree about the traction, it was only good if I was wiping my shoes after every play and washing them after every session
I bought a pair of dons exactly one year ago and I have the same problem with the traction at indoor courts but they perform great at outdoor courts. I barely used the shoe because of that but it performs well overall.
Would love it if you can do a Performance review of DH PEAK 3 or DH PEAK 4 man those shoes are good but are underrated due to the brand. Anyways love your work man awesome stuff
Hey Chris, long time follower. Wanted your OPINION on solid basketball shoes that provide support at the ball of feet. I am not a heel striker at all so run and jump off the front of my foot and it’s so difficult to find shoes that provide support and don’t leave my foot feeling like I’m literally playing on the bone of the foot. Thanks
My pair is getting delivered in a few days. Can you slip them onto your foot easily? My old adidas trainers could easily slip onto my foot. What about these?
Maan, I'll join the discord community as soon as I graduate from college. Anyway, I copped the symbiote colorway just this evening. Man those sold like hotcakes sold out in 2 days. Anyway, I hope you cop another pair cause it just might be the ones you got.
Found them really stiff even after two training sessions. Didn't feel securely locked down in them either. Returned and bought harden vol 4 instead, which is a much better fit for my feet.
I liked the black and white ones too much I got them regardless of the review. My court is pretty dusty and these do need a lot of wiping, so I think you're right on that. I like everything else about the shoe though.
I have these and i would go down a size because they are really big for their size So if you normally wear a 9 I would recommend going down to 8,5 or 8
Doesn’t the wearing out of the rubber so fast come from how much you hoop outside? I mean idk how much you really hoop outside and in what shoes but I’m curious
I have e Iron Spider colorway. during e first 3 weeks e traction was pretty inconsistent. picks up dust super fast had to wipe every 1 or 2 plays but after a month, seems some layer has worn off now it doesn't pick up that much dust anymore. so if u got e shoe stay e course n e traction gets much better. sizing wise it runs really long I had to go down a full size.
I got the same colourway but I haven't actually played with the shoes yet. So i'm yet to find out how the traction would be. My normal shoe sizing is 11-11.5, but I had to get 13 for the Dons, but that was because the 11 wouldn't of fit me and the 13 fits me perfectly.
As a Donovan Mitchell fan these shoes are dope but that back heel is too chunky. That Venom colour way is 🔥. Great review. But Donovan slides a lot in his shoes too. Chris that shooting stroke is pretty pure, almost to OP with the crew you run with.

Always come to your page before I buy a shoe Bro... always. Well thought out details and responses. Keep up the great work.
When he talked about the price of the cushion did anybody else think back to the D Lillard 2 video? 4:53
I think he said butthole 🤣🤣
I'm so happy i was able to cop a venom pair yesterday. Also you have got to be the best shoe reviewer ever! will be surely joining the discord community
Zachary Santos where did u buy the venom? I can’t find it at foot
Locker
I bought it at a mall around our area
Been waitin for a performance vid🙏🏾🙏🏾
Thank you!! Been waiting for your review all week, great review and i like how you put your personal opinion on the traction, keep doing what you do!
been waiting on this review. i just bought the venom colorway yesterday
Love your videos! I just got the Venom colourway and so far, the traction has been fine for me. Loving the shoes!
joining discord! you deserve only the best, thanks for all the great content.

Scrawny Kid they are good for me, even on dirty courts. Except 24 hour fitness of course cause those courts are always a mess lol.
Dope review brother. Can't wait to get back on the court and test these out
Dope vid as always my man the honesty is so appreciated. This shoe is on my radar for my next hoop shoe, I might pick up that venom colorway because it looks fire. Definitely might join the discord and talk about nerd stuff.
YOU NEED A MILLION SUBSCRIBERS
Agree on the traction.. U have to keep on wiping to get that grip. Overall, a very decent shoe but not a go to shoe for me. If only traction is like the pro bounce 2018.. 🔥🔥🔥

Great looking shoe. Love the bounce foam in my Alpha Bounce, I'm sure I'd dig these too
Was hoping these would perform really well, but having traction issues is not something I would take a risk in. Another awesome review as always 👌🏽
The venom and stealth spidey cw’s are very tempting still though. 😅
yer my wife fake laughs at me all the time

Yo!! I cannot believe you haven't done a performance review on the TMAC Millenniums... thats CRAZY
weartesters.com/adidas-t-mac-millennium-performance-review/
@@WearTesters thanks... I meant a video review by Chris
If you were to choose between this and dame 5s, which one you taking?
Buying them after seeing this review, let's try the bounce cushion
PLEASE MORE IN GAME FOOTAGE ITS FIRE
I have the same CW. I'm about at least 12 hours or so in them. ( I play 4x a week with at least 3 hours or so per session. )
My traction has been ok
Few wiping here and there does the trick
What do you think i hv to choose between d.o.n issue#1 x lebron soldier 13 x dame 5
Hey nightwing, would u buy the other colorways? (since u are also a Marvel fan)
I got these in orange and I love em but I gotta agree about the traction, it was only good if I was wiping my shoes after every play and washing them after every session
I bought a pair of dons exactly one year ago and I have the same problem with the traction at indoor courts but they perform great at outdoor courts. I barely used the shoe because of that but it performs well overall.
Been here since the sneaker file days 👌
I been waiting for this :0
Would love it if you can do a Performance review of DH PEAK 3 or DH PEAK 4 man those shoes are good but are underrated due to the brand. Anyways love your work man awesome stuff
I saw this video in recommended and went to get my Dame 5's I just purchased and put them on.

I was thinking about getting this shoe or the ua hovr havoc. Which do you think i should get?
For casual use i find them really good and comfy. Idk the name but i copped the black and green pair 😁
Is the Adidas DON good for people will flat foot/low collapsing arch?
My pair is getting delivered in a few days. Can you slip them onto your foot easily? My old adidas trainers could easily slip onto my foot. What about these?
I have a question about the shoe, what is the difference from the EF8756 style and the EF2400 style?
Hey Chris I wanted to ask about the cushion would u say this is better then the dame 5 cushion
you guys are awsome
Are these comfortable enough to run in?
Same, always liked bounce cushion
Traction depends on the court you are playing in. I also had issue on dusty court, sliding everywhere. Material seems cheap as well, wear out easily.
Keep up the good work.
I’ve played in mine a couple times slipped out once, but other than that traction was excellent
Best sneaker review ever
Maybe the colourway affects the traction? Got the venom and they were "decent" indoors.
@ 7:07, that slide... I see what you mean... not fun when that happens. Haven't experienced anything like that in the Stealth colorways
Maan, I'll join the discord community as soon as I graduate from college. Anyway, I copped the symbiote colorway just this evening. Man those sold like hotcakes sold out in 2 days. Anyway, I hope you cop another pair cause it just might be the ones you got.
Jan Enric Nido where u buy them from I can’t find them at foot locker store
@@nicohimxe5004 aww man, am from the Philippines so I just copped it from and Adidas store.
Found them really stiff even after two training sessions. Didn't feel securely locked down in them either. Returned and bought harden vol 4 instead, which is a much better fit for my feet.
What are the games you’re running at Fremont High? Are they a league of sorts, an open gym...?
Hi men i really like your videos from japan always upload videos

Man Chris, I would like to hoop with you one day. You get buckets!!! 🏀🗑Hands down 🙌
I liked the black and white ones too much I got them regardless of the review. My court is pretty dusty and these do need a lot of wiping, so I think you're right on that. I like everything else about the shoe though.
Good for outdoor use?
I wonder if size and weight affect that traction action like a small guard is good but a larger forward may slip cause more momentum and force
I have these and i would go down a size because they are really big for their size
So if you normally wear a 9 I would recommend going down to 8,5 or 8
i have these and i agree. traction is horrible but the rest of the shoe is great
Can you make of comparison D.O.N issue 1 And Harden Vol4
They look mad comfortable
Where can I get these now? I have the issue 2 but I can’t find this pair
Hey Chris, have you ever tried the Nike Zoom Shift 2 before?
Doesn’t the wearing out of the rubber so fast come from how much you hoop outside? I mean idk how much you really hoop outside and in what shoes but I’m curious
I'm out of shape and looking for a pair of shoes to hoop in with cushion and traction that won't break the bank. What are some good options?
Outdoors this shoe is amazing 👍🏿
I have the “glory blue” color way and they are terrible (traction)🤧 aside that, very comfortable and good support
your the only relevant basketball shoe youtuber left
I have always preferred bounce over boost
Bounce and good outdoors? Man I’m def copping the venom colorway
I have e Iron Spider colorway. during e first 3 weeks e traction was pretty inconsistent. picks up dust super fast had to wipe every 1 or 2 plays but after a month, seems some layer has worn off now it doesn't pick up that much dust anymore. so if u got e shoe stay e course n e traction gets much better.

Yea they are and they durable
As a Donovan Mitchell fan these shoes are dope but that back heel is too chunky. That Venom colour way is 🔥. Great review. But Donovan slides a lot in his shoes too. Chris that shooting stroke is pretty pure, almost to OP with the crew you run with.
Chris plays all over the place. These are the Bay Area runs he plays in. He plays a lot in Sacramento but we’re unable to film in 24 Hr Fitness.
