- Hey Guys! Today Chris fills you in on a little secret. The best outdoor basketball shoes aren't usually labeled as basketball shoes -- and that's okay. We take a look and breakdown the performance of the Nike Court Air Zoom GP Turbo and the reasons why it's one of the best outdoor basketball shoes available in 2020.

I was dumb forgot the login password. I would appreciate any tricks you can give me
@Saul Braydon Instablaster ;)
@Watson Esteban Thanks for your reply. I found the site thru google and im waiting for the hacking stuff now.
Looks like it's gonna take quite some time so I will reply here later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
@Watson Esteban it did the trick and I finally got access to my account again. I am so happy!
Thanks so much, you saved my account !
@Saul Braydon Happy to help =)
Bought a pair of these for Tennis, the most comfortable shoes I’ve ever worn,the full length zoom is just amazing! It’s just they are extremely narrow in the toebox. Btw, these are part of the 30th anniversary Agassi collection
Hey Guys! Today Chris fills you in on a little secret. The best outdoor basketball shoes aren't usually labeled as basketball shoes -- and that's okay. We take a look and breakdown the performance of the Nike Court Air Zoom GP Turbo and the reasons why it's one of the best outdoor basketball shoes available in 2020. What do you suggest is a great outdoor option that might not be labeled an actual basketball shoe? Let us know below and we'll catch you on the next one!
What’s the song in the background?
What’s the song in the background on loop?
What is type of shoes, I try browsing for it, the color is dope bro.....
No need, you already mentioned it
How "low to the ground" feeling are they
When I saw the teardown done by The Tennis Pro Doc on these, I honestly couldn't stop comparing the cushion setup with the KD12, and knowing how durable the outsole of tennis shoes were, I couldn't stop wondering how these would hold up as hoop shoes tbh.
Thanks for confirming what I've been thinking is the case! Now I have more reason to grab a pair of these as I can use it for both sports.
Hey Chris i am glad you mentioned this, i remember back in the day around 96 my dad had no idea about basketball shoes, so he decided to get me a pair and surprice me he went to the store and he got me a pair of andre agassi zoom air challenge i was mad furious but boy i was so wrong as soon as i put them on the best hoop shoe hands down i have ever had till these day by far, friends in the park making fun of me but they were mad confortable, and light.
A unique RUclips channel.. you’ve got really deep and technical references... and it seems you do play as good as you talk .... you’ve got a really composed explanation for most of the reviews. Really liked the channel
We appreciate the support 🙏🏼
I go these and after a week in playing in them I can say: outdoor traction is solid, lockdown solid, cushion solid, it’s very rigid, I went up half a size because of wide feet, overall number 1 outdoor basketball shoe if it last more than 6 months, remind to come back in 6 months to tell y’all about duration
Edit: I’m officially calling it quits for the shoes, best shoe for outdoors; I play in them 2-3 hours outside everyday, and it lasted me almost 5 months, so I would 100% recommend these
How have they held up? Would they be good for Centers/Power Forwards?
@@naviarretche9927 so far yes
@@naviarretche9927 but 1 month is not enough, I need to beat them up a little more to see
How they is now
@@herbertdadon5830 so far it’s a little burnt but way better than a basketball shoe, the material still no rips, it’s living up to its hype
I knew it would be the Zoom GP when you said it wouldn’t be in the basketball category, it’s such a dope shoe can’t wait to get my hands on a pair
Tennis shoes worked for John Stockton
Thank you for always educating us!!! Unlike most RUclipsrs, you clearly don't do this for the clout, endorsements etc but you do it simply because you want to pass the knowledge and love for sneakers!!! Proud supporter for almost 8 years now I think hahaha love what you do, NW!
🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
@@WearTesters try the Mizuno wave exceed 4,,, tennis show of the year . 6 month outsole gauranteed
I had a feeling it was these when you hinted at something unexpected! I've been following tennis and was thinking "huh, those would be great for outdoor ball!" Naomi Osaka rocks a nice PE of these 🔥
0:45 You know you're a shooter when you can make a shot on double rims 😂
Double rims are his favorite. We still think he’s crazy 😝
WearTesters I think that just speaks for the confidence he has in his shot 😂
@@WearTesters hes right tho. So much more satisfying when you hit it
💯
Now u gotta look at tennis shoes to play outdoor basketball, how ironic.....
i like this review. ive always felt that when balling outdoors.among my fav shoe was a federer nike zoom vapor. it's a tennis shoe but it was so good on the court. so when you chose this nike tennis shoe. totally agree! stay safe and thanks for all the reviews.
Good to know I'm not the only one who hoops on tennis shoes! I'm using Adidas classic court shoes though, so they look more like casual sneakers. The outsole grips and squeaks just like regular hoop shoes and it lasts longer too. The one reviewed here looks so much more comfortable because classic style court shoes play like Vans.
This is why Nightwing is on another level. Looking way past the basketball shoes lineup for the perfect out door hoop shoe.
I bought one of these for €80.. they were reduced by €70.
Awesome cushioning.. makes you think about why not other basketball shoes have full length cushioning.
grip is awesome for outdoor courts, thank you Chris!
Tennis Pro Doc had teardown of the this shoe & there are few features not mentioned by Nike:
1) It has double stack air. It has full length air stroble on top of the full length Zoom. It's a low pressure single chamber bag & not immediately apparent like the PG4
2) It has a full length plastic propulsion plate that provides stability & responsiveness.
Runs narrow. Up half a size but it will still be snug-ish.
Crazy, I've always thought that about tennis court shoes. I have been encouraging my son to consider something like that because he likes lows mainly and wants stability. I thoroughly enjoy your channel and reviews bruh. The funny banter with you and wifey, hilarious! Keep up the great work and much hope for continued success for the future.
🙏🏼
90's nike tennis where some of the best outdoor shoes I ever owned and I owned a few. NIke Air Alarm, Air Challange WP and Air Flare where awesome......Hands down best outdoor basketball shoes ever.....
First to like and first to comment. Thats more than enough with me. :) on a side note, keep slaying bro! Ever since i was in high school you were the biggest influence to me becoming a sneakerhead. And your reviews and opinions are unbiased and is considerate of all whether it be preference, shoe size and the like. Hope to see more of your videos, more of content and more success. Much love and respect coming from the Philippines. Keep safe out there! 😁😁😁😁😁😁
Sure
Also in reference to Tennis shoes Asics makes some great ones like the Court FF 2 has great lock in the shoe, and the Gel Resolution 8 is a good choice if you want something a little faster.
I hoop and play tennis with my Asics Court FF2 :) So stable side to side and cushion is good too. Built for hard courts. The only downside is the limited colorways to be honest 😉
Great fake out on the preview pic....I saw the old Skool nike Basketball logo and was like whaaaaaaa!!!! Loved the video....I love my Nike Court Air Zoom Zero especially for the full length zoom and the durability. Great pro tip for outdoor basketball use. Plus John Stockton was the poster boy for wearing Nike Tennis shoes on court in the NBA! 👍🏽💯🤓🔥
Game changer! I never thought about looking outside bball shoes for outside. Nightwing breaking down knowledge. Much appreciated as I hate eating up shoes on concrete.
Yesss, finally..... this is what I’ve been waiting for ❤️
Somehow I knew it was a tennis shoe. So funny because I’ve been looking at tennis shoes as of late just for research and seeing how they’re made is great. Remember when Agassi described wanting a shoe that felt like a basketball shoe? Cool stuff sir
I'll add to Chris's very insightful video. While growing up a huge MJ fan (being 44, my teenage years had the best sneakers at the time compared to today) I also played tennis since I was 13. Always wore Agassi's shoes. A lot of talk about Stockton and Payton. For the record, Stockton wore the Zoom Challenge 1 in the white/grey colorway. This was the shoe with Agassi's "A" logo on the carbon fiber style heel counter. It was the same shoe Agassi wore in the Olympics at Stone Mountain in Atlanta '96. Payton wore the Air Alarm in the white/green color. That shoe was awesome as well and it's famous mark was the puffy tongue. I wore both while playing tennis and they were equally great. And yes, this is the Agassi color way as Nike released Challenge Court for the 30th anniversary of his '90 finals appearance. These sold very well to us tennis player. And yes the do fun really narrow with a low toe box.
Love how you guys photoshopped the old Nike basketball logo over the court logo😂
Now this is a pro tip. Thank you for sharing the knowledge.
I actually emailed you about tennis shoes/basketball shoes a few months ago! I don't know if this coincidence but this made my day!
Awesome review, we used to ball with the OG Andre Agassi hot lava.
We need more of these please. I’ve had the idea of tennis shoes as hoopers but hadn’t had the chance to buy. THIS THO? This confirms my suspicions. ALSO, this greatly expands our choices as for brands such as Asics and more New Balance
I've been saying this! Tennis shoes are similarly designed to basketball shoes in terms of their basic tech! You just pay significantly less for A1 tech such as that full length zoom that isn't designed for an NBA player shoe line lol.
Hey got these shoes thanks so much for the tip haven’t looked back :) they’re the bomb thought I would roll my ankle cause of the low cut but no problem there . Much love from Ireland
I had a friend who only ever wore tennis shoes. I never really looked into tennis shoes but it makes sense. Great video!
1:15
I like how you can see Mrs Wing is just politely sitting watching Mr Wing hoop. That's goals!
Naw, goals is having your girl rebound for you while u get some shots up. That's true love 😍😁
I was literally about to comment on an And1 video about the best outdoor hooping shoe 😂 Chris you read my mind, thanks for this
The air zoom zero from 2 years ago is fantastic too for tennis/bball
Good video man, keep it up. Would you consider this shoe better than the attack 2.0 for outdoor courts tho?
yooooo tennis shoes i wasn't expecting this. I was looking into getting these for tennis but now it's confirmed.
Back in the early 90s, for outdoor basketball, I used to wear low cut Nike tennis shoes for like the Nike Air Challenge Pro Low because they didn’t restrict ankle movement.
Thanks for the review of this shoe! Just picked up a pair and the full length zoom is good stuff! Going to be super comfy once the shoe breaks in a bit.
I got to wear test these for tennis about a year ago and they are some of the most comfortable shoes I’ve ever worn. 🔥
Love this, just got these for tennis and have been loving them. So glad to see them getting representation here
So accurate about the shoes nike make for basketball nowadays.
This video is great.
I also wear my tennis shoes to hoop outside. Always just seemed to make sense. Shoes designed for a high level of lateral support and stability with an outsole and cushion specific for abrasive and unforgiving court surfaces.
💯
this video was beyond clutch! I was looking for a new outdoor shoe today. new cop confirmed
Finally, a Pickleball shoe. No wait. They run narrow. Damn! :( Thank you very much for the review. Always great. And. Your video editor does a great job putting in those little clips.
Great review as always! You might want to try the Zoom Vapor Cage 4 for tennis - it has a 6 month sole guarantee!
I really like the Adidas "Stabil Next Gen" and have been contemplating trying them, even tho they're tennis shoe. After this I might just do it!!!!
So glad someone went common-sense about basketball shoes, what matters is how the performance meets the sports’ needs not how the product is marketed
These are actually very appealing to me. Not wearing any of my Kobe’s or clean hoop shoes for an outdoor workout, and my burners are falling apart. senior season of eligibility still up in the air 🤞🏻
yo nightwing,hope u be able to put out more outdoor reviews for outdoor players like us:)
Tennis shoes can be great. Used to use Agassi's Air Tech Challenge 2s for outdoor play. It was midget and the outsole rubber was very durable. Lasted me over a year in both basketball and tennis use.
🔥🔥🔥
Been waiting for you guys to do a performance review on tennis shoes to play basketball with. Ever since I got hooked on your performance reviews I've picked up on the tech specs that you keep looking for specifically with Nike's full length zoom air and the herringbone pattern on outsoles. I was browsing shoes online last year and looking for these specs for a basketball shoe and I landed on the tennis shoes list because of the Nike Zoom Vapor X Kyrie 5 and also because they don't sell the really good, performance wise bball shoes here in Ireland (thank you for online shopping!) I ended up buying 2 NikeCourt shoes (because they were also on sale that time): the air zoom zero and the air max wildcard. I've also been looking at the tennis shoes of Asics: Gel Resolution 8 and Court FF because these are used by good pro tennis players and hoping that it would be great for hooping as well. I hope this pandemic ends soon so that we could have more of the performance reviews. Many thanks @weartesters!
Dude, love the revival of the court challenge shoes, but just like 1991, they are sold out everywhere! Ah, memories.
Facts: John Stockton once wore Andre Agassi zoom challenge tennis shoes during the 97 finals vs the Bulls!
This channel deserves 20 mil subscribers🙏
Nicee, pls do more tops and reviews of outdoor basketball shoes. In some countries like mine (Ecuador), there really isn´t any hardwood floors where we can hoop, so its outdoor 24/7
Nike Air Raid from the 90's. Best outdoor shoe ever. Criss cross straps with the rubber on the bottom. Those shoes were indestructible
Buying. Thank you for shouting out wide footers. Helps a lot. Edit: welp. never mind. I think your video sent everyone to that colorway cause it’s the only one with no sizes left.
This review might not get as many likes and views for exclusives guys but this gives me hope that there are great shoes out there that don't have to be expensive and an athlete attached to them in order to perform well.
What about the foam, is it cushlon, phylon? it seemed pretty responsive and comfortable! great review as always
I was waiting for this. I've been looking for a good outdoor shoe since I basically made my last pair explode.
Could’ve called this “things you never thought you’d see Chris do”
Oh good to know! Pretty crazy cause I would play in Jordan XI and XIIs when I played tennis in high school.
Thank you man, i was looking for a shoe that is durable to hoop in. And a shoe i can also wear casually, i didn't want the traditional basketball looking shoe to wear everywhere i go.
Its D.O.N. Issue #1 for me. Best outsole for outdoor playing I have seen in a long time.
Always wondered if you were ever gonna make at least a couple videos or articles on tennis shoes since they do have great features suited for basketball as well. Was looking forward to this day because I always liked your reviews. Great job with this one!
On another note, how did the zoom (and overall midsole) on this one compare to the KD 13? Any difference to note or did they practically feel the same?
We have an article about tennis shoes, and other category shoes, being used for basketball. Was published years ago for Complex. Chris felt it was time to revisit the topic with so many sheep in the sneaker world now.
Wearing something different always make me want to cop.
Hey y’all! 😃☀️
Jesus Christ Loves y’all ❤️❤️❤️
Blessings to y’all 🙌
Hope everyone having a blessed day!
You too✌🏻
Facts
Thanks for this, Chris, been looking for a good outdoor ball shoe
Totally works I’ve gone to go play tennis and ended up hooping right after and played in my tennis shoes and actually would use them a lot to hoop in outdoors
If you are a wide footer looking for an outdoor hoop shoe, I would recommend KSwiss
Nandan Raghavan New Balance too. They make 2E and 4E in pretty much every model. The FreshFoam Lav would prolly be a decent hoops shoe. ASICS another brand to consider, though some models run narrower.
I once made it the other way round: taking rather stiff (that’s not what she said😉) Nike KD 5 Elite to play tennis instead of basketball - they performed brilliantly on court!
Had a pair of Sampras and Agassi Nikes! Basketball are my favorite, but tennis or running can be dope!
Thinking of buying a pair for my fencing practice. The outsole reminds me of some old Nike battleground serious like 20-5-5
Damn. Bring back when highschool im remember use reebok tenis shoes to play basketball outdoor. Dmx cushion and also have outrigger in forefoot. Maybe in 2000 until 2006. The materials use leather. Cushion is ok (stil have young legs, lol) . Bring back in high school memory
And price only 300k in rupiah (maybe around 30 bucks in United states)
Had a feeling these were what Chris was hinting at in an earlier video. These do check needed boxes and always go under the radar. Also double rims for the win
Wow how can get no noise on ur mic when ur outside and talking ? Thats some real pro gear ur using and awesome editing
Check the brand Munich, it makes indoor football⚽️ shoes. Super grippy, super durable and with great materials. They could be used in a basketball court
Played in a pair of. Curials. Best indoor socer shoes to play basketball in
I knew it would be a tennis shoe. Perfect for outdoors
Daaaaaang! Thanks ive beeeen waittttting for this! Great colorway tho!
Yup John Stockton used some tennis shoes when he was still playing in the NBA
I use my pg 4 for tennis, and it works perfectly fine. I am not worried with the outsole since mine is XDR.
Huge respect for calling Football properly!
A lot of performance tennis shoes actually have a 6 month durability warrantee, so if you legitimately wear through the outsole in 6 months, you get it replaced for free.
Dope shoe! Never thought of a tennis shoe as a hoop shoe.
If you want something that is on sale try the NikeCourt Air Zoom Zero i think it offers the same experience as the Turbo GP
And I guess you should try testing other court shoes as well if works for basketball
Idk how but when you said last video that you had a great shoes for ball that wasn’t a b-ball shoe I knew it was these. I’m waiting for a black colorway, But they look amazing
1k likes and 4 dislikes, I've never seen such a loyal fan base
thanks for the review! what is the foam? phylon?
I use to play on spaldings made to play tennis, excellent grip and durability.
This video is why Chris is the GOAT
Been using my 2014 Nike Zoom Hyperrev for 2 t
Years now. We play on a rough cement court in the Philippines. No wood courts
Haters gonna hate. But let's face it folks. Chris and Jodi are indispensable to the hooper community. This video takes us out of our comfort zone. And I think it now calls for a "best tennis shoes for outdoor basketball because of the f****** pandemic" video. I personally hoop in the Adidas Stycon and they are beast!
Bro it's like you read my mind I was just thinking what to get for outdoor use just an hour ago
Great footwork Nightwing!
As a collegiate tennis and basketball player, this awesome
Man tennis has been so far behind for the longest but this shoe is what we’ve been asking for for years
