If there's anything I missed or anything you'd like to know about the Serious Players Only Player 1 Plus or any of the midsoles tested, leave a comment!!
Just to follow on a previous comment, I do see that the Moon color way comes with an explosive and quick midsole package on their site. I think that’s cool to change it up for the more special color ways, but I would then consider putting the Strength midsole up for individual sale if I were SPO, just to give customers an option without having to buy another color way. As of now, you can only buy the Explosive and Support midsoles. I’d also put the Quick up for sale too, if one set bottoms out. I currently have the Ashes from Roses pair coming in and can’t wait to try these, as they’re the first small shoe brand I’ve purchased from since Brand Black.
I 100% agree, they're priced well enough that I'd just buy midsoles to try. The support drop in is the last one I need to try at this point. But having them all available for purchase considering how much the P1+ is at retail.
I like SPO Explosive midsole but I hate how squeaky it is with every step. It almost reminds me of the LeBron 11 drop in midsoles with how squeaky they are. Did you notice/experience that with your pair? Love the video and breakdown. Came across your channel looking for the LeBron TR1 reviews
INTERESTING! I have not had that happen yet but I had that with my LeBron 11 midsole inside my Kobe 8 OG... I think the more I play in them that's probably what will happen to mine. Thank you much for that, I really appreciate it!!
@@thereviewd My explosive drop in is from the SPO Ranger, the yellow pair. It was squeaky from the jump, even when I wore the shoe casually. Not a shoe you can sneak up on someone in. I tried putting it in another Player 1 Plus model and it didn’t help. As nice as the moon colorway is I’m hesitant to buy, but I do want to give the explosive midsole another shot. Not sure if you plan on it reviewing them, but I recommend the Support midsole. To me it feels like a more plush version of the Strength midsole.
Ah ok, fortunately at this point no squeaking. I had the squeaking really bad in my Kobe 8s, it was obnoxious. As of now though, no squeaking fingers crossed. Now the Ranger is one I'm so intrigued by....it's like a cyber truck for your feet 😂. The strength midsole is probably next on my list along with the Ranger. Id love to get those in some full court games.
It’s interesting how your Moon pair came with an explosive midsole. From my understanding, Player One Plus comes with a Quick and Strength midsole, unless SPO changes the midsole depending on the color way. There’s also the Support midsole, if you ever have a chance to try that version. Anyway, great review and insight.
@melo4duece thank you!! I'm thinking it was only for this special cw. I have the sketch as well and they came with the quick and strength system. Id assume the explosive midsole would be a more premium drop in probably reserved for limited drops if they aren't being purchased a la carte 🤷🏻. But thank you for the kind words!
I have a pair of the flamingos and both drop in midsoles give my outside toe a blister and it makes it hurt a lot, any recommendations on how to fix this?
Ahhh that's the worst, honestly when it comes to blisters, I'll usually wrap a bandaid around the toe. I had the issue with the knuckles of my toes getting blisters and the bandaid really helped.
@thereviewd did it go away after a while? I got the player 1 Plus's the other day and after one open gym session both my pinky toes were rubbed raw 😅 it's not a sizing issue, just seems like the midsole is maybe thicker near the pinky toe
I don’t have them in front of me right now but there is a lip for sure on the midsole around the pinky area. I think since I go up a whole size (Kobe sizing) I haven’t run into that just yet. Unfortunately I don’t think something like that goes away (like the upper rubbing against the knuckles) so the only solution that worked was using bandaids to create some protection.
@thereviewd cool, thank you for the reply! I'm trying to decide if I will keep these or return them and switch to a different brand. My all time favorite shoe was the Kobe AD NXT 360 so I was hoping these would be a good replacement. The search continues!
Thank you for watching and commenting! The Player 1 was fantastic for me, the moon colorway was the one that began to chafe. I had the Kobe NXT 360 (never played in them) but each of their models have been highly praised but I think if it’s the insole causing the issue a different brand is unfortunately the way to go. Another option is maybe even going up a size possibly?

Also that ashes from roses cw is really nice, really clean.

@@thereviewd thank you I will try it out!
I ended up cutting the side wall that rubs against my pinky toe. No more blisters. Hope this helps.
@ak_frtysvn smart!! That’s should be the fix then. You shouldn’t have the issue anymore.
Did you experience pinky toe rubbing with any of the SPO midsoles?
Not particularly but I did have some chafing on the knuckles of my toes with the upper (with each of the midsoles).
