Way Of Wade All City 12 Encore Performance Review!
ABOVE THE RIM REVIEW #71: WAY OF WADE ALL CITY 12 ENCORE
BOUNCE: 4.2/5
TRACTION: 4.3/5
CUSHION: 4.2/5
WEIGHT: 4.3/5
COURT FEEL: 4.1/5
OVERALL: 8.4/10
Wade just makes good shoes, dude. The only problem with making good shoes is they become in direct competition with the great shoes.
However, let's not forget the psychological aspect of jumping: If you look good, you jump better.
The Wade All City 12 Encore is a great-looking shoe with good performance. The style adds 2" to the vert guaranteed [not a guarantee].
Real talk, I'd recommend these for the more methodical guard playstyle, especially for toe draggers. Or for people who like to wear athleisure.
Sizing: I went true to size, but I'd recommend w...

Jordan Kilganon is getting a signature shoe????? Serious Player Only x Jordan Kilganon Collaboration
Просмотров 3342 месяца назад
@seriousplayeronly x @jordankilganon A shoe made specifically for a pro dunker by a performance brand. How could you possibly contain your hype. Said to be lighter than the Li-Ning Gammas, with a new midsole, using the Game 1 silhouette. Potentially releasing late 2024 / Early 2025. #SeriousPlayerOnly #JordanKilganon #dunk
361 Big 3 Future Performance Review

After the AG4 Soar's incredible drop-in, I had very, very high hopes for the Big 3 Future. Unfortunately, 361 made me wait over half a year to get these in a size 12. And now that I have them, I'm left f...

The Quicks felt good and plush, but not truly guard-like. The Switches were bounncy, but had unreliable traction. These are a HUGE improvement, especially in weight. If you felt lik...

Nike / Jordan charge $200 for these, and for the first time, it actually feels worth it. Don't get me wrong. They should be putting more in these. At minimal, a top-loaded midfoot torsional plate. At best, a fully embedded carbon fiber plate like in...
Ranger 1 from Serious Player Only Overview
Просмотров 3164 месяца назад
The Ranger 1s are so wide it's nearly impossible to sprain your ankles in. A common misconception about basketball shoes is that high-tops are the only way for ankle protection and that low-tops don't provide any, which couldn't be further from the truth. When Nike was designing the Kobe 4, Kobe demanded a switch to low-tops as their team found out that it's heel lockdown and lateral outriggers...
Li-Ning Gamma Tech Breakdown
Просмотров 2,7 тыс.6 месяцев назад
TECH BREAKDOWN: LI-NING GAMMA Minimal weight. Maximal propulsion. Promising traction. This is all we wanted, right? When I started this series and channel, I set out with two goals in mind. One, to be a resource for the basketball and the dunking communities in a short format. Two, to find the best possible shoe for dunking, ever. The Li-Ning Gamma is the closest I’ve felt to that second goal. ...
There is something exciting brewing in the Asian basketball sneaker market.

Way of Wade 808 3 / Ultra Tech Breakdown
Ever tried the lining speed 11
These or the yushuai 18 ultra?
Just bought a pair and am looking forward to receiving them and then get to the courts. Thanks for the great content bro
Intrested in the 5th model, will you review those?
Thanks for the review! I really like that you cover ankle support!
Hey, hope you're doing well! I'm looking for some recommendations on Nike basketball shoes that have great comfort and support for all-day wear not for playing, just for casual use. Any suggestions? Thanks a lot!
I use these shoes for boxing training. I picked them up for $70.
These or the yushuai ultra?
Can anyone who actually has the shoe, let me know more specifically how they fit or what size they went with. Be helpful if yall have any Kobe 5 protros as they fit me the best. So I can have some reference. In Kobe 5 im a 10.5 but im like the Kai 1 im a 10, in shockwave pro 5 im also a 10. But in AE 1 I’m a 10.5
True to size?
where is the full review?
Top 10 Basketball shoes?
See! Not every jordan shoe has a loud squeacky sound! They original and legit guys!
I have the high version. I’m usually
Thought the Liren 4 was going to be an upgrade from the WOW 10 but the size 13 was a full size too small so they really only go up to size 12. Looks like we’re all stuck in WOW 10 this year.
I'm working on a liren 4 v2 video, here's a quick review: Lighter with more pronounced cushion than wow10s, but the carbon fiber is definitely missed. GCU rubber performs as advertised and is really good. Lockdown and comfort in the uppers isn't as good as WOW10s but given that some colorways are like $90 on Poizon it's a fantastic budget option. Much closer to the ground but as a result you don't feel as much of the bounce in the forefoot.
@ Sounds like I’m not missing out too much. I sent the Liren back and got the black dragon wow 10 😂 Its gonna kill me to play in these expensive ass shoes. Hope they update/fix the wow 11 soon so I can try it out.
Can u put move insoles or vktry in the ranger 1 ?
This review is quite helpful. The Encores have the slight edge esthetically, but the AC 12s are increasingly more performance based. Thanks for this video! 😉👌🏽
They are no better than 11 v2’s
NO
disagree -- lighter, more supportive, with better cushion and traction
@@abovetherimreviews which
Most of the complaints about the traction on the 11s have been on the team no sleep colorway, maybe try the hall of fames?
just got the jordan 38s yesterday at the outlet
I got the 9 bro still grips good on dusty surface i mean i played in outdoor court with so much dust still grips good
Would love to hear your opinions on the alternatives you mentioned here! Mainly the normal Yushuai 18s and Lirens
Love your honest content! But what is Poizon? New platform? 🤔
Online platform like kickscrew, kicksown. They respond to stock prices in china better and tend to have the lowest prices of the online platforms
Always nice to know something new! Thanks 😊
Wow11 must not have been that good??
You got the reviews on the lirens 4 n 5s?
liren 4 v2 review otw, just put in an order for the 5s
How much are they
Great review. Quick and to the point. Subbed.
Fakes are wild
Got them for 50 euros, decent shoe but I feel a bit insecure. Not much support
The inflair is awful
How does that exact colorway perform on dust and is it better than the 808 3 regular version
How is the traction on these?
Agreed and agree more. I really liked the 12's for outdoors, and they played great indoors too. These feel like a demotion even though they look awesome.
Finally hoop shoes that are not low tops and protect the ankle
Overall, wow10 or AC12
Traction and squeak vs. Wow 10. What's better?
try coco cg2 the most solid shoe of the year
Cutting edge tech???? You mean only 1 carbon plate. That plate doesn’t even help with shock absorption which is bad for your feet. Rather choose foot health and playing longevity than a short term boost in performance
I don't know if you know this but the channel is all about maximizing verticality -- things like foot health and playing longevity are implied in the "cushion" category but when it comes to specifically how good a shoe is for dunking, that's the priority, and the gammas are absolutely top of the line.
@@abovetherimreviews carbon plate is basically cheating your way to dunking anyhow. Real ballers shake heads all the time when we hear carbon or whatever tech with artificial vertical
@@Johnsonwill789 It's not banned at the nba level, you're free to have your weird real baller elitist club but people don't watch my reviews to hate on the best technology, they do the opposite -- so they can find out which does have the best technology and what is the best thing they can spend their money on.
@@abovetherimreviews you said a lot there but still it is what it is which you can’t deny, artificial vertical lol People can read our comments and decide for themselves. I just keep it real is all. ✌️
@@Johnsonwill789 yeah but everything is artificial vertical. a shoe with great traction is artificial vertical compared to a shoe with meh traction because you can put more force into your plant. a court that's less dusty is artificial vertical. NBA courts have rubber bounce to allow for better impact protection, that's also artificial vertical. Any shoe with zoom is artificial vertical over any shoe with just normal react. Carbon Fiber is just another technology in a long race. You can keep it real but to what point?
compared to the encores?
350g?? what size shoe are these gammas?
US12 / EU46
Did you feel a cutting friction on the stitching on top of forefoot area (on top of foot), I did and can't play in them because of how uncomfortable it is
i had this as well, unfortunately in my opinion there is no workaround except for breaking them in, i played in them 5 times over 2 weeks and they started to feel really nice, push through it fam!
What do you think about the harden volume 8?!?!?
ar 1, wow sof, or 361 big 5.0 quick pro
Wow11 is going to be reviewed, when are you going to do it??
I did a first impressions on my instagram @abovetherimreviews, but they need to be broken in before a full review. Maybe next week.
First🎉🎉🎉
just waiting for my max batch grinches to arrive from shipping, good video brother
Anyone know his shoe he considers the bounciest ?
Can you try the curry 11’s?
are they better than the wow 10s
So they just created the perfect shoe
@@fiore0364 always trying to improve on the game!
@@abovetherimreviews btw one question what should I get, ja 1s and Jordan 38 lows (both around 90 dollars) or a pair of wow ac 12s
