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

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.

    • @abovetherimreviews
      @abovetherimreviews 25 дней назад

      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.

      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.
