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 4273 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

ABOVE THE RIM REVIEW #70: BIG 3 FUTURE BOUNCE: 4.6/5 TRACTION: 3.8/5 CUSHION: 4.4/5 WEIGHT: 3.9/5 COURT FEEL: 4.3/5 OVERALL: 8.4/10 Yet another $200 shoe, formerly $160. NOT a sposnored 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...

Another banger, another banger by Li-Ning. So many people have asked me, "what's the best shoe for outdoor use?" If i'm not saying Serious Player Only, I'm...

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...
Jordan 39 performance review

ABOVE THE RIM REVIEW #68: JORDAN 39 (XXXIX) BOUNCE: 4.8/5 TRACTION: 4.6/5 CUSHION: 4.9/5 WEIGHT: 3.9/5 COURT FEEL: 4.1/5 OVERALL: 8.9/10 $200 MSRP. 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 3606 месяцев 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 2,8 тыс.8 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. ...

Way of Wade 808 3 / Ultra Tech Breakdown
You make the content that’s exactly needed!
Traction was bad till I broke it in and now it's 10/10
Can I use in outdoor?
consider one of the best shoe for outcourt in my opinion
are they outside basketball shoes too?
Do ae1
Got them for 125 now. Happy about it!
Sizing fit
Thoughts on the dhawdow 6
Tbh? The most over engineered slides ever made. Why tf u put tpu side wall and plastic shank underneath? 😂😂
I need that grip spriz cuzz i have kobe 11😥
The KD9 and 10 were amazing!!
I’ve been looking for some shoes that have a full length carbon fiber plates that’s integrated into the sole. I’ve been looking for shoes that fit this profile that also had: impact protection and court feel (balanced play style/ slashing). Do you think these would be good for this? I’m also a two footed jumper.
gammas would be best -- if the price is too high there, maybe look into yu shuai 18 ultras before looking into these. There's also going to be another shoe from 361 with an embedded carbon fiber dropping soon.
Dude your vids are so good keep it up
U see the yushuai 19 dropping?
U shud try the yushuai 18 ultra lows. Supposedly the upper is thicker than the high ultra
ABOVE THE RIM REVIEW #74: LI-NING YUSHUAI 18 *REGULAR VERSION BOUNCE: 3.9/5 TRACTION: 4.6/5 CUSHION: 3.9/5 WEIGHT: 4.5/5 COURT FEEL: 4.4/5 I got this pair for $60 plus $30 shipping from China. It’s lightweight, got great traction, and has full BOOM and a bottom-loaded shank. However, it’s not without flaws - namely poor stiffness in the shank causing poor torsional support. These are a decent guard / wing shoe but other than heel lockdown, I can’t think of one thing these do better than the Liren 4 V2s. And other than court feel, same to the All city 12s. The nice part is at least these come in a low. But I just found myself wanting to play in either the Ultra version of these or the Wade 10s. These will now make a nice addition to my outdoor rotation, at least. Sizing: fits long, you might be able to half size down. I went TTS. #lining #yushuai18 #wayofwade
What website did you use to grab the shoes?
I was really looking for a review of these thanks man. There's another lining shoe that looks really interesting, the bad5 dominator/ hunter 1. Maybe they'll interest you too. Nice review!
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?
Yup!
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
Fakes are good...
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
