The one time I show my wife your videos you gotta hit us with a feminism joke 🥲😅
Excellent shoe reviews. My only disappointment is that I didn’t find your channel sooner. 💪🏽
Hey, wow thank you so much!! 🙏🙏 Means a lot to me to keep going. Have a good one!
Bro woke up and chose violence 💀💀
love the vid tommy, honestly out of all shoe utubers, i believe your opinions are the most valid
Thank you so much!!
Tommy da goat still deliverin and keepin our knees and ankles healthy, much love boyyy.
Haha thanks! Much love - availability is the best ability as they say lol
The joke at the start 😂 great vid! Would you say the 808 would also be categorized as a guard shoe?
🙏😆 I think the 808 series is more like a two-way line but closer to being for guards. Great shoe could definitely be added to the list!
what rank would you place it in if the 808 made the list?
@@TommyLiu4
@@brosephhkim 808 3 regular version - probably like around Top 4 to me.
the goat has posted your the best shoe reviwer
🫶🏼 you da best
AG4 is really up there! Definitely great!
My knees started to hurt when thinking about playing in most of these shoes 😂 can you also make a list that offers good to great impact protection? 🙏
👌👌
I got the eat learn play version of the 4 flotro last year and the leather upper feels great. All other color ways came with the suede upper but the leather is🔥🔥
Ja 1, gt cut 2 or gt cut academy pls help me
bro could you review the anta kai 1s and the anta shockwave 5 pros side by side ?? bless you😘😘
We want an update video on the AC12!!
👌👌
Beautiful picks and reviews. Very helpful! Thanks!
bro earned my respect at the begining 😂
Tommy!!! Thank you for the content. Beyond grateful for your content. Wow11 has been announced. Not sure about the looks BUT please please please do a review if and when you get your hands on a pair 🙏. I haven’t found a shoe better than the wow 10 since it came out and I’ve been looking, hard.
Also, the JB 2 or the new balance two way v 2 isn’t on here?
@@jmad906Thanks a bunch!! Yeah I’m super excited for those as well. JB 2 & TWO WXY V2 you mentioned are great shoes too, both are extremely comfy actually 😃🙏
Will do a video for curry 4 flotro leather?
Love your videos. I m trying to get the Anta Kai 1. And i have the same Nike cap😂
Thank you!! Nice haha 🫡
can you do a more detailed review on the curry 4 suit and tie? no one has really reviewed them
First of all, wanna say great job at what you're doing! Videos improve every upload, so keep it up. I'm a 6'1 point guard/shooting guard and was struggling to choose between the way of wade 10's, all city 12's, and gt cut 3's. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance
Thank you!! Much appreciated 🙏 I’d say go with the All City 12, those 3 that you’re considering are all amazing shoes so can’t go wrong with any of them really. But All City 12 the value/durability for its price is top notch, the best ability is availability 😃
yo tommy great video as always 🔥 was wondering if you could help me decide between the wilson drv and spalding tf 150 varsity, bet you know sum about basketballs too
Hey, thank you! I’d say go with the Wilson one - also I’m pretty sure most people would agree that for indoor use: Wilson Evolution = best ball. 😃
@@TommyLiu4 yo ty so much, ill go with the wilson drv, but if had a little more to spend id buy the evolution one
@@zxd_rl 👍👍
Hello Tom! because of your reviews I bought the shockwave 5 pro, specifically due to what you said they’re so good on dusty court and they the least to pickup dust. And I bought the heterochromia colorway (black outsole, same as your black knight cw) but on the first run i had yesterday it does seem to pickup more dust than my wow10. Idk is it because i need to break it in? did you need to break in your sw5 pro before the traction got better (like least dust pickup)?
Dope vid per usual! How do you feel about the two wxy v4 as a guard shoe? Surprised I didn’t see the fission 9 up
Great, to me the best shoe overall last year. They’re both fantastic all-around shoes I feel like. 😃🙏
yessir we need that book 1 bro
aight 🫡 make that next
I’m actually surprised LeBron NXXT GEN isn’t on here. They’re very similar to the LeBon 20s but with more Court feel and less Kush. Pretty damn good shoe for guards. In my opinion.
Yo those curry 4s 👀 been wanting a pair and now that i know it’s leather 🔥🔥🔥
I think the leather version makes it so much better 👌😃
Did u have any trouble with getting blisters on your feet!? i love my bruce lee curry 11s ( first curry pair ever). i love how light it is but every time i play i get really big blisters down at the bottom of my toes .
@@legoatttt I didn’t, can’t relate with that sorry.
where do you play? that gym looking out on the city is sick
Hey Tommy, what can you say about the difference especially the durability between the Adizero Select 2.0 and Adizero Select 1.0? I got my 1.0 for $55 and I love the traction and durability in outdoor court. btw I love your craft, keep it up!
Hey, thank you! I never got a pair of the first version actually so not sure sorry.
I wanna buy nike gt cut 3 ep version to play outdoors whats ur review on that
Sure should be good
@0:43 😂 I see we have a fellow red piller
Yo tommy by any chance have you tried the Speed 10 for outdoors? If yes, is it durable enough?
No I have not.
Surprisingly bought ac12 orange before I saw this. 😅 lucky me.
What’s up Tommy awesome reviews on your hooping shoes bud ,I play as a 3-4 and usually cut alot to make a mid range jump shot & currently using the KD 15s but looking to get another pair to hoop in do you recommend your #1 pick in this video to play as a SF & PF that moves alot and cuts alot ?
Hey what’s up! Yes I would highly recommend the All City 12. 😃
@@TommyLiu4Just saw more of your videos & and since I’m 6’0 I really need something with just a bit of more ankle support it’s either between the WoW 12s or KD 16s now thanks alot bro ! Keep up the great reviews
@@PaladinGMS Thanks man 🙏🙏 Appreciate you watching!
just got sga’s all star colorway trilliant cx and feels good on feet..will test it tomorrow.
ac12 i have it 😂
lmk how it is
hey Tommy how does the sizing of that new curry 4 flotro compare to the curry 4 low flotro (curry camp)? I was thinking of grabbing a pair
Hey, I think half size up would be ideal. They fit a little bit tighter than the Curry 4 Low FloTro.
Way of wade 10, for what position it’s, I was thinking of getting it, it’s a top performer? How’s the traction?
Yes, elite.
How about ar1 and dvd2?🤔
Bro, no book 1’s? 😢 i loved its performance. Better than most of your choices, in my opinion
Bro, no subscription? 😢 I loved its performance. Better than half of my choices, in my opinion. Wasn’t ready when I made this vid that’s it.
Hey tommy I was wondering if you had any recommended locations for buying way of wade/li ning shoes in china
Hey no I do not
Hey Tommy. When is the Liren4v2 review coming up
Hey. My pair is on the way, probably not very soon since I haven’t received them yet.
can you do best basketball shoes of all time
Sure
wow ac 12 vs spo player1 plus vs ja 1? for fast jumpy player
Hey Tommy right now my gym back contains
361 DVD 1 and 2 (the 2 works for casual use as well)
361 Burning Force
KD Trey budget line can’t remember the model number
And waiting on my QD KJ Spike rise to come in
👍 Hey, nice! Which one do you like better between the DVD 1 & 2?
If I had to choose, I like the 2 over the 1, but the 361 burning Force would be my favorite in my bag right now similar to that Fred VanVleet shoe you mentioned
@@aupaub1168 Interesting! I might give that a look then, thank you!
Yeah and they don’t have a bad price point either. I I got mine for 65 USD.
What about precision 6 flyease? Do you recommend them for Point Guard?
Sure
Can you tell if adidas has changed the launch of the AE1 velocity blue? On some sites they are saying it has changed to March 15th
Ohh maybe I’m not sure. They might have delayed the release then I didn’t see it today either.
If you compare the feel and comfort of Zoom X on the Gt cut to another cushion set up, what would that be ?
Idk can’t think of one it’s pretty much unmatched to me. Kinda like Fresh Foam X on the New Balance Fresh Foam BB V2 but slightly better.
@@TommyLiu4 I played with the V1 but haven't got the V2 .. would you recommend it?
@@chookie9789 Yes
It is nice to see Tommy actually taking time in replying to all questions here. Good Job Bro!
Thanks man 🙏❤️
how about the curry 4 low ftotro?
Pretty good too
how about waw of 10 ? for guards definetly
The joke just earned you a new subscriber 😂😂😂
Haha much appreciate the sub. Thank you!! 🙏🍻
@@TommyLiu4 keep up hitting us with randoms like that you’re gonna get more followers! 😂😂
guys what about sabrina 1
What’s the shoe in the thumbnail?
I’m a shifty slasher but small guard wich pair you recommend the gt cut 3 or the ae1?
GT Cut 3
I just bought my lining city of 12 :)
So do u think the wade all city 12 is better that way of wade 10
No
How does the new curry4 flotro leather fit? Should I go tts?
TTS for medium-narrow feet, half size up if you have wider feet to be safe.
What's goat shoes for traction?
Hyperdunk 2017, KD 14.
Is the shockwave 5 still good compare to recent shoes of chinese brands?
Yes
For explosiveness, what order should I purchase these in if I had to choose and price doesn't matter? 1. Lebron 21, 2. Way of Wade All City 12, 3. Liren 4v2 4. Way of Wade 10? I think a lot of people who watch this channel would also want to know. Thank you :)
I don’t have the Liren 4 V2 yet, still waiting for my pair, but the other 3 are pretty much like the Top 3 out there already… If I have to rank them I’d go WOW 10 LeBron 21 then All City 12 but you see All City’s themselves are already like top of this list here for example - no bad choice there really. 😃
@@TommyLiu4by explosiveness you mean max dunking potential?
@@justman9925 Idk you should ask the guy who said explosiveness lol I ain’t ever come close to dunking 😂
@@TommyLiu4what would you say are the best shoes on the market for dunking in your opinion 🤙
@@justman9925 WOW 10, GT Jump 2, AE 1
What u guy think about liren4v2
is curry 10 good shows for guards
What about the AE 1s Tommy?
Great! Too heavy to be considered a guard shoe in my opinion.
@@TommyLiu4 is their weight a deal breaker?
@@akamaru021 No
Loved the joke in the beginning brooo HAHHAA
😆😆
I have a friend who has wide feet and ripped the material In the curry 3z7. Do you know any shoes that would be wide feet friendly and very durable? The material that broke on them was the left side around very middle
GT Hustle 2
Great list! remake this video at the end of the year bro, tyia.
🙏👌 Alrighty thanks man!
BB Trilliant underrated af
Someone please tell me whats that dark Nike shoe at 0:27 ???
LeBron 21 “Tahitian”
what about the freak 5s?
Great
how are the 808 3 ultra v2 for guards?
Pretty good!
Just slightly on the heavier side.
Would u recommend rigorer ar1
Nope
@@TommyLiu4 kd 16?
@@Minisway1 Yes much better 😃
Hi Tommy! would NIKE release GT cut 3 in solid rubber outsole?
Hey, no idea. Liren 4 V2 coming
@@TommyLiu4 eyyy🔥🔥 thats the best news of today!!! thankyouu
@@pinoyhiphop3977 🤛🤛
@@TommyLiu4 one wish tho. our courts here are rubberized and sooooo damn dusty. Pls check the liren 4 v2 low’s dust performance thoroughly, Tom! thankyouuu
@@TommyLiu4 Hello Tom! because of your reviews I bought the shockwave 5 pro, specifically due to what you said they’re so good on dusty court and they the least to pickup dust. And I bought the heterochromia colorway (black outsole, same as your black knight cw) but on the first run i had yesterday it does seem to pickup more dust than my wow10. Idk is it because i need to break it in? did you need to break in your sw5 pro before the traction got better (like least dust pickup)?
No Kobes?
Which should i pick, speed 10 or all city 12?
All City 12
how is the NB 2 wxy V4 not in there? that doesn't make sense. Total lightweight guard shoe
2 wxy
What about the Lebron 21?
Great all-around shoe as mentioned.
Ok but, which buffet did you go to and would you recommend it 👀
It’s like an old school American-Chinese type, my absolute fav lol 😝
Which shoe has the best traction? I'm a 71kg guard and I don't care much about the cushion.
GT Cut Academy
@@TommyLiu4 the traction between the gt cut academy and the wow 808 3 ultra wich pair win?
@@s4lvaaaa GT Cut Academy
What would you rank the wow 10 on this list?
Overall performance 1. But again this is a list of typical GUARD shoes.
@@TommyLiu4 fair enough,thanks
@@chris-pq8lr 🤛🙏
love it

wow 803 3 regular vs gt cut academy which's better
Academy
@@TommyLiu4 thank you, and what about gt cut academy vs wow 808 3 ultra and ag4 ?
@@JayLe-qv4bl Academy
why isn’t the ae 1 here?
Heavy
What happen to bron 21?
I guess I lost your retention after 15 seconds 🥲
No harden vol 8 ? And the flow futr elite isn’t better than this curry 4?
Harden Vol. 8 I just don’t think it’s a typical guard shoe - that’s like a 1kg weight combined on feet. But I really do love it, overall it’s at the Top 3 level here you’re right. Haven’t tried the Flow Futr Elite.
@@TommyLiu4 my favorites shoes that I wanna buy after watching RUclips reviews from you and others are: Kai 1 anta, harden vol 8, flow futr elite and JB2 and kawhi 4 looking nice too . I think I’m going JB2 because I want a lot of Cushion and breathable uppers
@@marciaaaron6044 👍👍 They all sound like great picks to me haha
@@TommyLiu4 yeah you will have all them before me 😡 hahaha
Damn you play at Kings Square Markham?
Rarely, too far for me.
Book? Sabrina? Kai?
is ae 1 good?
Yeah
sabrina or AE
@@TommyLiu4
ae or sabrina?
@@TommyLiu4
Btw what is heavy heavy for a basketball player? I am like around 85kilos and height is around 5'9 or 5'10. The average height is nba a 6'6 so im pretty sure 85 kilos for that height would be light and also i do have thick knee, knee shin and ankle so anyone please explain if you have time.
So 5’9 then, jk. I think you’re just about a tiny bit heavier than average weight for your height. I don’t know how the average height of NBA players holds any relevance here LOL.
Puma all pro nitro did not make it, i just bought it :(
Tbh I just forgot about it… Top 10 worthy for sure. Which colorway did you get?
Bruh I just got it too, so good
@@TommyLiu4i got the black white combo color

No JB2? No Liren 4v2?
Liren 4 V2 my pair is on the way, probably will be an excellent all-around shoe I can already feel it 😁
Hi Tommy, between those option liren 3v2, all city 12, 808 3 ultra. Which one you think it the best option? I played at guard.
btw really like your video, keep working bro
Hey, thank you! All City 12.
Oh hell nah broo u killed it with the feminism joke ❤
😆❤️
Hitting the buffet like Zion
🫡🫡
Your list is missing the AR1’s
👌
Damn the JB2 didn’t make it because isn’t a guard shoe or you really didn’t like it? Like if the AC12 is the first , the JB2 is supposed to be more premium
Umm a little bit of both. To me the JB 2’s traction, durability and containment are not nearly as good as the All City’s, but it’s extremely comfy. Great shoe! Price is kinda nasty though…
@@TommyLiu4 shoe doctor zack said the durability of the JB2 is excellent, but I see why you like the AC12 . The JB2 heel to toe transition I think is better for me like more of a running shoe
@@marciaaaron6044 bruh I can’t find JB2 anywhere
