@@safiyosri7619 In my opinion you should get half a size up if he has an ordinary foot. Half a size up would definitely last him in the long run, and if you really want, get a size 14 just so you don't have to get him a new pair after a short amount of time. I always size up to like an 8 or 8.5 if i had the size for a 7.5. It's a good practice to analyze his foot growth and then make your choice whether or not you'd want to get him a 13.5 or a 14. It sounds complicated but it gets simple after getting more shoes.
Bought the UA lockdown 6 today based on your review. Really nice recommendation. While the colourway on the Nike air max impact 4 looks good, it just seem too narrow in the front for my feet. Picking up basketball after 2 decades of hiatus. Hope this will last for some time.
Hey tommy, I'm kinda stuck with my shoe selections, I'm with the Impact 4's, Kd Trey 5 IX, Freak 4's or WOW Shadow 5's. I'm a flat foot, outdoor and indoor person, Which one's the best?
I have dame certified too. My problem is that I got sockliner tear already after a month and some kinda heel slippage after using it for sometime. But still good bang for the buck
The outsole itself should be durable, cause I do use the previous version outside. However under heavy usage, I’d be a little worried about the Air unit popping since it is positioned lower this time, just keep that in mind I guess.
I just order UA Lockdown 6 before I watch this video! I'm glad you rate it as the Top 1... I was eying on Nike Impact 4 for a few months now. Just waited price to go down but didn't came down to the price I wanted. But after I tried UA Ld 6 3 days ago in the mall and have good price discount online so I place an order yesterday and I'm currently wait for delivery!
@@TommyLiu4 can we get a list for shoes spanning 2020-2023 that we can find for cheaper because same certified hurt my toes first time I tried them, they’re too narrow for widefooterw
Hey, probably not the best tbh - support around the ankle area is the main weakness on the Dame Certified, there’s quite a bit of a gap around the collar too.
@@TommyLiu4 what would you recommend that's cheap and something I'm not going to spraine my ankle in I was thinking the Dame certified because it's $43 right now
Hey, sorry I really don’t know much about that tbh. But against heel pain in general, some good ones are the Son of Flash, TWO WXY V3, Harden Vol. 7, All City 11. You’d probably want to avoid the LeBron 20.
Pretty much a tie to me. If I have pick one maybe Air Max takes a slight edge over Bounce here but both are top notch cushioning for a pair of budget shoes.
Just by setup the Spawn 5 provides better cushioning with full-length Micro G while it’s just foam on the Lockdown 6. But overall I have the Lockdown 6 as the better shoe for the better stability especially for players who are prone to rolling their ankles. Both great shoes tho 😃
@@TommyLiu4 going back to the Zen 3, you reallly must try it. I copped it and the traction and cushion is so great! Specially for the price, only copped it for $49 bucks here in the Philippines. So insane value for the price. Plus the design i got is Sakura so the look is so good.
Dame are a good choice, I tried on Impact 4, but since I have impact 3, I can only speak for myself, did not feel all that much of the difference. At this point trying to break shoes in since I got some I have barely played in. And now that I found great grip WD40 LOL 😆. I am trying to just rotate what I have. Do you think Game Day insoles help and would you recommend the normal soles or the pro?
Oh yeah those Game Day insoles are great. I personally think the regular ones are good enough, no need to get the Pro. Regular Game Day insoles add just the right amount of thickness and support but also no adjustment period needed to break them in so it was perfect to me on shoes like the Ja 1 & Tatum 1 that come with very poor insoles.
Hey thank you! That depends on so many factors - your foot shape, playing style, what’s most important to you whether it’s traction, cushioning, comfort, weight etc. But the Harden Vol. 7 is a fantastic choice that you can’t really go wrong with, just keep in mind that it’s pretty heavy.
Ik it’s not in the video but is the wow 10 good for flat feet? A podiatrist told me the reason me foot is sliding is because of how flat it is and that it turns outwards while my shoes turn inwards (just like you said). Would the wow 10 be good for me?
WOW 10 is pretty good for flat feet yes. Good arch support but not too much, also not much soreness experienced at all for my flat feet. I’d recommend going up a half size if you were to get them.
@@TommyLiu4 is the side wall softer like the kd 14? I had a lot of problems with shoes like the kobe 6 and kyrie low 5 which have hard side walls because of my feet turning outwards.
@@TommyLiu4 Which part of Canada do you hoop in? And I just checked, Amazon Canada doesn't have a Li-Ning shop like Amazon US does. Bummer for you guys. BUT you should be able to order and have shipped for free.
@@NEWFXD Pretty close, if you can get a great deal on the HOVR Splash 2 it’s certainly not bad either. Extremely soft and comfy, just that traction was a little bit of a concern on dust from my experience.
Man, I've just realised that Adidas has difference pricing strategies in different places. Here in HK (and in China), Adidas doesn't do direct discounts at outlets, like that I've just saw in you vid. Instead, they do like buy 3 pairs and you will get whatever % off the total, which is very annoying if you just want to get one pair of shoes.
I see, yeah it’s unfortunate man… Their deals and models available are always different based on location, a lot of shoes on the US site were never made available here in Canada so it is what it is I guess 😂
@@TommyLiu4 we share same height cool! bought Lockdown 6 because i saw your review about it. didn’t have regrets as a wide footer. love your approach for creating shoe reviews short and sweet. keep em going brother more power to you.
Hey guys, i bought Luka 1 Racer blue a few days ago, and i noticed that there is glue visible on the outside of the shoe. Is that normal or what should i do? (Also the size is: 45.5 EU)
yeah there’s a little bit on my air max impact 4s and i’ve heard they can be found on dunks and other shoes. It’s pretty common and won’t affect performance
