hi am From Mozambique and i want to get the KD 11 and would like to know from you if the shoe is good for a shooting guard and although support is a problem in them since train ma ankles well would you suggest it. and when will come visit mozambique.
Turned on notifications because I’m waiting on the D.O.N performance review but gotta show the love to my favorite RUclipsr, been watching since the kicksoncourt days
I've always wondered what the guys you play with in the gym say when you walk in. Do they ever ask you what you're rocking today or ask you for advice?
Some do. Some don’t. If a shoe has a lot of buzz they’ll want to check them out and see what’s up with them. Most hoopers we play with don’t care about shoes until it’s time to buy a new pair.
sorry to be so off topic but does any of you know a tool to get back into an Instagram account..? I stupidly lost the login password. I would love any assistance you can give me.
@Trenton Turner i really appreciate your reply. I got to the site on google and im in the hacking process atm. Takes a while so I will reply here later with my results.
That little mini rant was worth the price of admission!! LOL!!!!! It's a beautiful shoe...but I think I'm gonna just wear it out and not for ball.....especially if I can get more KD 12s for below retail. Hopefully the team builds upon the first offering and we see improvements on the second iteration....ideally at the same price (I mean if they can do it with the KDs...I don't see why they can't do it across the board).
I had zero expectations for the shoe, they look like a budget model and I’ve been wearing the kd 12’s nonstop and I love them but I thought these were a pleasant surprise. I knew I’d feel it in my knees and shins the next day but they were definitely fun to play in.
Just bought these in the Greece Colorway for my teenage daughter on sale for 70 bucks... to compliment her black magic Kyrie 5s and keep her motivated in the sport with tryouts for high school later this year... your our go to guy thank u for the reviews...
Tbh who’s still plays in translucent outsoles? They should just remove that option because nobody wants it on the court they’d only want it for casual wear and if the color way is clean.
Yeah but that's why, most people give up the grip for the aesthetic ... Nike has the numbers, it's not a mistake. I agree with you though ... And only costs a little more to customize.
i dont know what it is but translucent works for me. i had the jordan 2011 (the ones nightwing said the tractions wasnt that good) and i played with them outdoors in the rain, played different sports like soccer and hockey, played in doors on courts that uses its gym for assembly so the court quality is bad yet i had the best traction experience by far (and i wore the shoes for 3 years with most of the pattern being worn off) only reason i got rid of them is because the midsole cushion started to wear off and the air cushion was gonna pop
I don't even ball but I gotta watch every review. I love all the videos and the amount of time and effort you put in to each video is definitely inspiring. Keep doing what you're doing man!
Played in the all bro’s colorway & i love them. They are so comfortable. Feel no need for a zoom in the forefoot. Traction is great, isn’t squeaky like every hooper loves but deff gets the job done & always wipe every dead ball. Nice & snug & love the thick tongue. Let’s me pull the laces as hard as I can & not feel like I’m killing my foot.
Bruh I always appreciate your honesty lol. Always great reviews man I've been subscribed for years and before I buy any shoe I always check out your reviews first🔥🔥
Always like it. U dont just upload vid in a rush.. u test it and u give honest opinion. Thats why i dont watch any channel shoe reviews.. i mean u talk with honesty.. thats perfect for me
thanks for the review..been a fan of your channel for quite some time now..looking forward to buy the all rubber sole which i think are dope... till next time guys.. :)
Guy was playing in superstars I believe and nightwing gave him the zoom freak 1..Class act 👏👏 you are a very humble and generous guy🙌.. More people need to be like you. This channel needs more support.. Word of mouth people share with friends and family. No conversation at the end with mrs nightwing ? 😩
Honestly might end up using these for lifestyle use and keep using my Kobe 4 Protros for bball. Btw which 4-11 Kobe would be best for bball if you can only choose one?
Lockdown is great, fit is good half size up for me. They are dust magnets, but I feel mine broke in the more I wore them. Very stable and lightweight. 👍 Pay it forward! 👌👌
@@alexmclellan104 giannis is way leaner than those who play C and forced to moves like a guard and fyi even cousins did last like 4 years before getting any injuries
Thx for the review Chris. Grabbed both the KD 12 AKA Achilles Bustaz and the Zoom Freak 1s and plan on playing in them a bunch over the next few months. I feel like the Freaks are a bit more stable but the KDs are more responsive. Your videos are always on point...... give me a shout if you make it to Hawaii. ALOHA!
If your shoe bend the way 8:48 does while you're wearing them, i don't think your first concern should be your shoe, foot don't normally bend that way after all.
For the internal shank issue, i agree with what Chris said people are oversensitive but i think that it also depends on people's feet. For some people that have Plantar Fasciitis (like me), a mid-foot shank is important for physiological reasons. If there's no shank, the feet will sink and for people that have serious flat feet and Plantar Fasciitis, it is so pain in the xxx bro.... if i need to wear that shoes and walk around the whole day/ exercise. To be honest, i did try the Kobe Mentality and i really cannot play in those. I would say a midfoot shank (even is a flimsy one) can be important to some people for extra protection (Healthy feet is ok without shank if the overall support of the shoe is good). But i really agree what Chris said, totally support and appreciate it as people are really too sensitive about this issue.
The foot will not sink with a midsole design such as this. There is nowhere for it to sink. The tooling design is flat on the floor. If the midsole has an arch in it then it would require a shank.
@@WearTesters Then maybe it is just my own issue. But how abt the player version kyrie 1 vs the selling version? If it is ok to have small or no shank then why Kyrie himself got a much larger and carbon shank lol? Kinda curious
I had the same problem with my old pair of mentality´s II. As the outsole worn down it got too flimsy and my left foot was in pain after playing. I don't have the same problem with the pair that I only play in indoors (the outsole is still good).
I doubt you are in any bind for content, but as someone who watches your stuff pretty regularly may I suggest a video. I'd like to hear about all these apps and websites that you or the sneaker community have high regards for.
wide feet, just go half size up because i have wide feet and my normal size felt reallllly tight so if you want them to last or u are growing or you just like a bit of room definitely go half size up :)
So...I was one of the people who commented previously about the lack of a mid-foot support plate. I think you misunderstood where I'm coming from. I'm not singling out Nike and ignoring all other shoes without this feature whether it be Adidas, Converse, or as you say, some other "Chinese" brand. I have never played in any shoe without a mid-foot support plate as it was drilled into us review after review since Kicksology was around that basketball shoes NEED this feature to prevent plantar fasciitis. So now when I see more and more shoes not having it, it really started to make me question this feature. For shoes like the KD 9 or 10 with the full length max zoom where it was stiff as hell, I get it...but what about just shoes with the basic setup? Was this shank plate feature just more of a gimmick to sell shoes? Is the midsole and outsole stiff enough that the shank plate is redundant? Or is this just another way manufacturers (ALL...not just Nike) cut costs? Or all of the above? Just wanted you to shed some light on this as you are the source we go to for anything basketball shoes related and I haven't bought a shoe unless it gets a good review here! Keep up the good work!
Shank plates are not gimmicks and are needed in some midsoles. Midsoles with an arch (gap) molded into it will collapse under pressure and cause plantar fasciitis. Midsoles with completely flat midsoles will not bend/collapse under foot. They may over twist if they’re not rigid enough, but this shoe isn’t one of those shoes.
Great review as always! Lol, it's rare to hear you go off like this shank plate discussion caused you to. Judging everything evenly would require people to actually know what they're talking about so of course the complaints are selective.
No one having been complaining about it doesn't mean having no shank plate is right. There are researches about having shank plate can protect the foot. Maybe you think it's not a big deal having shank plate because of your play style. Then you can't say it is nonsense.
seeing them and playing in them are two different things, sorry. if I really want to see how a shoe is gonna perform, I buy it and I test it out, most shoes have 30 days to try them out, right? utilize it. but whatever, the choice is yours. @@joshuaarjona694
Nightwing, im kind of torn between the zoom freak 1 and Kyrie 6 right now..I have lower Achilles micro tear on my left foot.. Which kicks would you recommend for me best?
One thing Giannis said way before we even saw an image of the shoe was that he wanted it to feel like a Kobe shoe; so that doesn’t surprise me at all. I think they feel great, but I’m completely biased because I’m a Buck lifer
The rose colorway is so cool to me. Ill probably get a good insole to put into these. Also its funny when nightwing said youll feel the zoom if your idle...i just pictured in 2K when players are waiting theyre just bouncing/swaying back and forth
I love the PG 1's. They have been my main indoor hoop shoe for a few years now. Can you recommend another shoe that fits like the PG 1's? I just bought these Zoom Freaks, because I think they look awesome and feel pretty good on the court, but I miss my PG 1 feel
How do the solid rose colorways compare in performance? Just got my son the new multicolor colorway, and he's played one fame so far. He finds the shoe to be bouncer than his kyrie 5s with slightly better cushion. That maybe something unique to him, or it's possible the 2020 releases have some subtle upgrades due to the overall lackluster reviews it seems to get. Would you do an updated review with one of these to lmk?
Quick question, at 6:13 he did a power dribble and faked spinning to shift the defender and open the right lane up. But When he brought the ball away from the rim to his right hip doesn’t he need to dribble it again before changing the momentum and pushing it back towards the rim? Wasn’t sure if someone would call a carry in a game if not it’d be a good move to add to the collection...very shifty
Your right they are not badboys..i hate wiping..inplay hard defense and i make hard cuts and cross overs..this shoe needs air zoom in the forfoot. How do you feel about the harden 4s
Shank plates are overrated. I personally don’t mind if a shoe has them or not. I rarely feel the difference if a shoe has one. 🤷🏻♂️ Awesome review as always. 👌🏽
WearTesters True. Just trust the designers on why they have a shank or not. Only thing I don’t trust is the use of translucent rubber most of the time. 😆 They are inconsistent.
I believe shank plate was installed at any EP version for an actual player on the court, lack it may cause plantar fasciitis to a great extent. From a consumer perspective, it's always good to have it without breaking your bank. And it does not necessarily mean that you should NOT give a shit about it...
@@WearTestersThanks for your reply. I agree with you on this point, people can't be too mad about the setup without comparing the price tag, at the end of the day you're getting what you've paid for. But I like your content because I found them are also educational, from that aspect, I really hope you could talk about it objectively in the future... Just saying..
It was spoken about factually. There are midsole designs that require a shank. There are midsole designs that do not. Not all midsoles are the same. This spans across categories in footwear. There are runners without shanks. Runners with shanks. Knowing what you’re talking about helps when speaking to someone objectively rather than trying to accuse them of being subjected when the proof was in the video showing an objective factual remark on a topic.
Love that you gave them away but did you do that because they were meh or you felt for him considering he was balling in Adidas Allstars, that's gotta hurt? When I come to the USA and visit my family in Elk Grove can I hit you up to come play ball at your gym?
Hi Chris! will you be making like a short follow up video when you get a chance to grab that white rose gold colorway that doesnt have the translucent outsole parts and compare it to this one? Thanks! Cheers!
Well giannis plays in kobes so hes used to their type of cushioning.
we don't have carbon plate like players do, at least kobes had torsional plate on consumers model
Leon Yu no one really cares for torsion plates at that price point

Personal opinion the shoe looks cheap. I feel like I would run through these in a week so I’m going to skip on these.
the shoe "looks" a certain way, yet you never played in them or seen them in person.....interesting way to make a judgement on a shoe.

But When he brought the ball away from the rim to his right hip doesn’t he need to dribble it again before changing the momentum and pushing it back towards the rim? Wasn’t sure if someone would call a carry in a game if not it’d be a good move to add to the collection...very shifty
Hand was not under the ball which means the dribble is still live.
My next shoe! Love the design
Yesss been waiting for this... hopefully it’s a good outdoor shoe
Your right they are not badboys..i hate wiping..inplay hard defense and i make hard cuts and cross overs..this shoe needs air zoom in the forfoot. How do you feel about the harden 4s
The intro tho.
Maybe maybe not
hey nightwing, great vid. any tips or tricks on preventing toe jam? running with a pair of soldier 11s. Thanks!
Chris you are a stud
GRAPE SNX he really is. 😍
I got these shoes like 3 weeks ago it’s really nice traction is good it has good cousining it’s a pretty good shoe I’m pretty happy with them
The MAN HAS SPOKEN!
I'VE BEEN WAITING THIS FOR YEARS!!!!
Shank plates are overrated. I personally don’t mind if a shoe has them or not. I rarely feel the difference if a shoe has one. 🤷🏻♂️
Awesome review as always. 👌🏽
It depends on the design of the tooling. Some designs require a shank while others do not.
WearTesters True. Just trust the designers on why they have a shank or not.
Only thing I don’t trust is the use of translucent rubber most of the time. 😆 They are inconsistent.
pretty dope that you gave a new sneaker away bro. Did he know who you were at first?
He didn’t know who he was.
I believe shank plate was installed at any EP version for an actual player on the court, lack it may cause plantar fasciitis to a great extent. From a consumer perspective, it's always good to have it without breaking your bank. And it does not necessarily mean that you should NOT give a shit about it...
Many are unaware of WHEN a shoe needs a shank. Too many complain about the ones that don’t require one vs the ones that do.
@@WearTestersThanks for your reply. I agree with you on this point, people can't be too mad about the setup without comparing the price tag, at the end of the day you're getting what you've paid for. But I like your content because I found them are also educational, from that aspect, I really hope you could talk about it objectively in the future... Just saying..
It was spoken about factually. There are midsole designs that require a shank. There are midsole designs that do not. Not all midsoles are the same. This spans across categories in footwear. There are runners without shanks. Runners with shanks. Knowing what you’re talking about helps when speaking to someone objectively rather than trying to accuse them of being subjected when the proof was in the video showing an objective factual remark on a topic.
Do you recommend this for wide footer?
Are these shoes good for outdoor use?
Do more on court gameplay with performance review, Really makes things better!! 😅
Love that you gave them away but did you do that because they were meh or you felt for him considering he was balling in Adidas Allstars, that's gotta hurt? When I come to the USA and visit my family in Elk Grove can I hit you up to come play ball at your gym?
Chris has been giving away the shoes he tests for ten years. It just happened to have been recorded this time.
Hi Chris! will you be making like a short follow up video when you get a chance to grab that white rose gold colorway that doesnt have the translucent outsole parts and compare it to this one? Thanks! Cheers!
Definitely waiting for the Roses colorway though.
