I am always wearing a size 9.5 us on nike kyries this time i went to a size 9 us the length is perfect its just snug width wise and i still get heel slippage especially on my left heel.
Gotcha, I’m still curious if I go tts if they’ll fit better. Right now, this a little room but I went a half size up since Nike Kyries have always been narrow. I’ll probably try a tts Kai 2 whenever they release to see how they fit. Heel slip wise, I fortunately haven’t really run into the issue, if anything on my most recent runs, I strapped them a bit too tight.
😳… crazy!! That’s incredible!! If I can get pairs at retail, I’m getting more. Really is one of the best shoes I’ve played in. One of the best I’ve worn. Just comfy!
@@thereviewd I was just as surprised as you are lol. Brand new pair of the Playoffs Home colorway for the low low. Sometimes the 2 in the morning Google checks will reward you lol.
Great cushion in the heel but the front needs that zoom. Kyrie 8 Infinity is his best shoe Ive played in when it comes to grip, impact protection, and lockdown in the kyrie line. I have anta kai enlightened.
That glorious zoom, I wish we could. I'm sure there's a way to do a drop in midsole from a Nike shoe for the anta. It may make too bouncy though....I think I wanna try that out lol
Just wondering if you can help me out choosing a shoe i should buy. I am currently looking at either these or the wade all city 12 encores. I am a shifty, explosive light & small guard that plays only on indoor courts (some are super clean but also some are pretty dusty) I want to be comfortable and have a bit of bounce in my shoes while also having good shock absorbance. Also i dont want no heel slippage. If there's any small things people might have left out in their reviews about either of the shoes that would also help thanks
I haven't had any experience with the WoW AC 12 Encore but I was reading up on reviews and it seems they offer great all round performance at a great price. I personally never played in them but have had experience in other WoW models and they were fantastic; fit, price, traction and cushioning. NOW, Anta Kai 1 is a fantastic shoe in every respect. Fit, traction, cushioning, containment, design, price... Everything was great on this shoe. I absolutely love them. For your play style they offer great court feel and balanced cushioning... You have the best of both. Another option that is my go to if I'm not testing is the Sabrina 2... Excellent shoe and at an excellent price; has everything you'd want in a shoe.
If there is anything I missed or anything you would like to know about the Anta Kai 1, leave a comment!

@thereviewd gotcha i'll wait for your review on the kai 2s when they release it.
great review man 🫡
Thank you!
I caught a crazy come up on a pair for 125 on Stockx in my size. They're coming in the mail today and I can't wait to strap these things up.

@moballardful 😂 I’ll keep that in mind.
That price point is practically a no brainer. And considering the market for most “Nike” shoes, resell for $225 isn’t horrible for a quality sneaker.
Exactly
i have the Triple Black ones in size 12 and they fit great.
Nice!! Did you play in them yet??
@@thereviewd not yet. i have some health issues at the moment so basically wearing them as a lifestyle shoe.
@teeblack06 oh no! I hope everything is ok but I gotta say the Kai 1 is not a bad lifestyle shoe either.
@@thereviewd nice and comfy and looks good.

@@thereviewd Thanks so much
@SarahWhite-n6r you're welcome!
Just a heads up, WoW is running a decent sale, the WoW All City 12 is marked down to $119.
Do you recommend the playoff’s colorway?
If you can get your hands on them YES! They’ve been really limited so far so imo whatever you can get, get them!
Good for outdoor?
Absolutely! That tread is pretty thick, should hold up really well outdoors.
Nooo
