Having tried Adidas basketball shoes (Don 1, Harden 5, Trae 1, Dame 1, AE 1) over the years, I'm passing on Adidas basketball shoes. They are often narrow and bulky! They are not designed for quick guards. My favorite is WOW 10. I got 2 pairs.
Solid top 10! I don’t think I have an exact amount, but my main options this year that’d fall under a top 10 are the following: Gamma 1, GT Cut 3, AE 1, Liren 4, and the LeBron X/LeBron X Elite before the sole separations haha. I actually really enjoyed the GT Cut 2, but definitely had to break it in a bit (and I’m a little heavier at 200 lbs.) Really wish the 3s had better durability but just got a second pair with a little more of a sturdy upper (the Safari/Olympic pair.)
My top hoop shoes this year Sabrina 2 (4 pairs) WOW 808 4 (3 pairs) Dame 9 (1 pair) Kai 1 (4 pairs) GT Cut 3 (2 pairs) Honorable mentions: Book 1, 5.0 Quick Pro & New Balance two wxy v5 All great hoop shoes!
@@GraysonA Yes shoes don’t change over the years. Just a super expensive shoe just like the WOW 11 but half size up in both shoes the WOW 10 fits way better for me.
@@DGHoops Wish I'd gone half a size up on my wow 10 black dragons, got blisters on both pinky toes :( But the wow 10 is easily the best hopping shoe to this day in my opinion. And the 11s are not as good. The guy who designed the 10s works for Anta now I think.
@@philipjin4902 yeah but the thing is, I hadn't done them up very tight so my feet were slipping around in them. I also don't wear shoes very often as I worked from home for a very long time so my toes just ain't used to shoes lol I gotta break my feet back in I think. Also think the shoes need to be broken in as well tbh.
@@renzb2993 I thought it released in China in 2023…. Guess my Google Translate was wrong. And it only became available in states this year.. 😅 It is worthy it’d be somewhere in top 10 tied with something else.
@@DGHoopsI’m sorry DG, 😂 didn’t watch the full video. I might had skipped a little too much to the top 10! I’ve been recently watching ur videos and I’m a big fan. You’re my go to shoe reviewer!
That's a good shoe just not in my top 10. Just because the shoe isn't in the video doesn't mean it's a bad shoe bro! In fact, most shoes are actually solid if you can play well enough IMO.
Curry 12 note, I have the curry camp colorway and play on a pretty dust court day to day, I got dust on it the first time I used it and I started sliding like crazy it was unplayable and then I cleaned them with water and now my favourite shoe even over kobe atm wont lie, for 4e I went up full size and regret it, such a nice shoe but I think tts or half size is good. For wow 11, most dissappointing shoe this year for me, I was so excited to get it and then the gcu outsole ruined it for me, it is so bouncy if you can grab onto a surface but other hate the shoe, fit is awful and I dont understand why they didnt use a normal outsole, I srsly hate gcu, its really bad for dusty court like unplayable completely and you cant wipe the dust with your hands either, anta kai 1 is nice but you have to go tts for good fit, I had to go US M 12 instead of US M 11.5 and really takes away from the performance of the shoe, I think also mb.04 should be here, one of my favourite shoes of the year I wont lie, its so good I cant describe it. I ordered wrong size full size up and still my favourite shoe. It does everything
my top 10 for 2024 (in no particular order)
1. Anta Kai 1
2. Kobe 6 Italian Camo
3. Adidas Dame 6
4. Adidas AE 1 Mid and Low
5. Adidas Harden Vol 8
6. Nike Sabrina 2
7. Puma Nitro All Pro
8. Nike Book 1
9. Nike Kobe 8
10. Nike Hyperdunk 2017 Low (2024)
Great list bro!
Anyone else want a top ten shoes of all time from dg???
Good idea but will be extremely hard to create!

My favorite is WOW 10. I got 2 pairs.
Yet Anthony Edwards, Dame, Trae Young and James Harden are the epitome of quick guards 😂
WOW 10 is a great shoe
10. AE1
9. Book 1
8. Curry 12
7. Wow 11
6. NB fresh foam
5. Kai 1
4. 361 Big 5 quick pro
3. Gt cut 3
2. Anta KT10
1. Dame 9
0. Sabrina 2
What did you like about Dame 9?
I love how almost all the people in the first clip are wearing the Jordan 39s
Yup I was at the Jordan 39 launch event in Paris
You should make a video stating your top 10 shoes ever worn, that would be cool!
is the new balance bb2 or dame 9 more durable for outdoors

Yessir! Great insights bro

WOW 808 4 (3 pairs)
Dame 9 (1 pair)
Kai 1 (4 pairs)
GT Cut 3 (2 pairs)
Honorable mentions: Book 1, 5.0 Quick Pro & New Balance two wxy v5
All great hoop shoes!
@@taytranada7 you like 808 4 or Sabrina 2 more and why? Thanks!
Great list
tysm DG for making this video! Also, overall do you think Wow10 or GT Cut 3 is better?
@@jakeplayzz7275 Appreciate you watching
Pretty good list. When are you gonna put a 361 joker 1 review up as I need to know the sizing for my pair asap.
I posted a short form review yesterday!
Although WOW 10 is old, is it still a top shoe these days? I assume yes since WOW 11 is on the list and you liked the fit on WOW 10 more.
@@GraysonA Yes shoes don’t change over the years. Just a super expensive shoe just like the WOW 11 but half size up in both shoes the WOW 10 fits way better for me.
@@DGHoops Wish I'd gone half a size up on my wow 10 black dragons, got blisters on both pinky toes :(
But the wow 10 is easily the best hopping shoe to this day in my opinion. And the 11s are not as good. The guy who designed the 10s works for Anta now I think.
@@StigPrice id stop wearing if you're getting pain on sides
I kept going and bunions on pinky side fucked me up
@@philipjin4902 yeah but the thing is, I hadn't done them up very tight so my feet were slipping around in them. I also don't wear shoes very often as I worked from home for a very long time so my toes just ain't used to shoes lol I gotta break my feet back in I think.
Also think the shoes need to be broken in as well tbh.
@@EvMaggu Kai 1 designed by the guy who designed wow 10s from what I heard. Is that true??
No Lining Gamma 1?
I read somewhere it dropped in 2023 in China, seems like that was mistaken lol it should be on the list if it is
Great list I was on the fence on the Dame 9 but I might cop now
Surprised the Loren 4 v2 didn’t make the cut smh or is that 2023 shoe lol
I never played in that shoe. At the beginning of the video I said this list are just shoes I personally liked played in
What about the li Ning gammas ? Not worthy at all dg?
@@renzb2993 I thought it released in China in 2023…. Guess my Google Translate was wrong. And it only became available in states this year.. 😅 It is worthy it’d be somewhere in top 10 tied with something else.
What about the kd17??
@MoonLightYT77 I hope you watched the video. It’s there haha
@@DGHoopsI’m sorry DG, 😂 didn’t watch the full video. I might had skipped a little too much to the top 10!
I’ve been recently watching ur videos and I’m a big fan. You’re my go to shoe reviewer!
@MoonLightYT77 Appreciate you bro 🔥🔥🎄
@@DGHoops no problem, keep up the great work!
How about the Wade 808 4 ultra bro?
That's a good shoe just not in my top 10. Just because the shoe isn't in the video doesn't mean it's a bad shoe bro! In fact, most shoes are actually solid if you can play well enough IMO.
@DGHoops didn't say it was bad, I just want to know why 🔥 list btw
Havent even watched it but already like the video
Much love bro!
Can i have reccomended basketball shoes for playing speed and agility (sorry english not my main language)
are ja 2s a top nike shoe this yr?
I talk about it in the video
Yo nice video!
What do you think about the hesi low v2?
Cool shoe but I like the TWO WXY 5 better IMO
TTS dame 9? i have a kinda wide foot
Yeah you should be good if you have wide feet
yo with the movie game day insole inside the wow 10 should I take out the midsole inside first or leave it in.
Take it out first
i've tried dame 9 and it pinches my toenails. it feels good on foot but i think it's not for me
All good bro
What about the lining gammas
I thought it released in 2023
please make a time stamp next time buddy 👍
Sure thing
I ordered my first pair of serious player plus, also i order my first pair EQLZ nike has been slipping lately. I agree sabrinas are pretty good
@@robertclary4298 Nice bro!!
Lebron 21 👍👍👍
Good shoe like I said
Top 10 shoes (that aren't KOBE'S) ✨️😁✨️
Curry 12 note, I have the curry camp colorway and play on a pretty dust court day to day, I got dust on it the first time I used it and I started sliding like crazy it was unplayable and then I cleaned them with water and now my favourite shoe even over kobe atm wont lie, for 4e I went up full size and regret it, such a nice shoe but I think tts or half size is good.

I ordered wrong size full size up and still my favourite shoe. It does everything
Great insights bro!
where is ae 1 low?
Not better than the regular in my opinion
Anta kai 1 speed or don 6
Good picks!
Got the big 3 quick pro for 48 dollars 💵 what a steal
where did you get them?
Fo sho he living in the PH
@@BallIsLife077 yup.
