Love the fact it’s always about SHOES, and not just what’s hyped up. Gives the people who are really into sneakers of all kinds all the info they need that they likely wouldn’t have gotten prior. I feel like so many people forget that there are other great shoes besides retros and Yeezys and these videos helps bring that into focus.
Almost 10 years watching your channel, and you still deliver the BEST reviews on the net! Chris (or Nightwing, Ima call you that forever LOL), Mrs. Wing, and the Weartesters team and FAM! Thank you guys, Happy Holidays & New Year! ✨👟
Hey Guys! It's what you all look forward to all year long, the best basketball shoes of the year. What does your list look like for 2021? Let us know down below. Thanks for watching!
The way you described the Melo kicks is just like how the Kyrie 7 feels to me after I broke them in. They're so comfortable. I used to wear the NFTs all the time but the Kyrie 7s are becoming my casual shoes too. So easy on my foot now; they used to feel so snug at the beginning, now they're so comfortable. Also, I can't believe you don't like the GT Run. I have so much bounce when I wear them. The only problem is my knees get sore the next day from all that jumping. But in the game, they do give you a hell of a bounce. I think it's just the name that's throwing you off. They shouldn't have called it GT Run. It should have been GT Air. Poor branding. They're so good. If the reason you don't like them are the upper material, then you might have a point. The tongue is real fragile. The rest of it though is dope.
Please review just once an Asics basketball shoe. "Gelburst" or "Nova Surge". They honestly have the best performance of any shoe out there and if you could put a spotlight on them Asics might hopefully release them outside of Asia.
I copped 2 pairs of the MB.01s and decided to use one for Hooping...I must say I was impressed at how they held their own, they dropped pretty late in the year but one of my Faves for sure!
Been here for six years.. don’t even buy every sneaker but still watch from time to time. I remember watching the KD8 review right before buying a pair , hope ur doin great today man
I laughed when I saw title best shoes and one of the worst reviewed shoes is the screen capture. Well played! My top were the Jordan 36, the KD 14 and got lucky and found a Clyde All-pro in yellow and black Porsche color way for $50. Blessings and Happy new year family!
With the mb1s i took a risk and went a size smaller than i generally do as i had been slipping wearing the why not zero3 i had been wearing indoors, they are snug but that was the point. Looking forward to getting on a court with them
Bought the Traes and my girl bought me the Jordan 36’s and I gotta say I love my Traes but man the 36’s are GOD tier. So light and fit like a glove, and support all of my movements.
The lamelos are dope played in them today for the first time 💯 a little bit heavy at the bottom but they grip your foot so well that it makes up for it. Sort of like the kyrie 6….. also the lamelos when you first put them on might seem like your high of the ground, you get used to it fast.
Yo Chris I f***ing love your channel man, it's always good vibes ND good reviews on some shoes ND always great to start my morning. I wish more people watch ur channel. Stay strong brother.💪
GT Cut is the best basketball shoe I may have ever played in for me. The combo of cushion, weight and responsiveness is unparalleled. Love it. I've also been liking the Nike Cosmic Unity though they have to break in.
@@wajaans5599 Both the shoes I mention I've only tested indoors, but both were great. No slippage, but also no trip points from traction on the midsole. Both were great. I probably wouldn't wear the GT cuts outside as they seem soft and like they would get torn up. But the cosmic unities might work
@@mattnoonan6519 do it anyway. I’m 37 and this is the first shoe I can play in wear my feet don’t hurt at all and the traction is amazing. I still suck but I’m much less likely to get hurt and I have much more energy running up and down the court.
@@ekoller I’m with ya bruh… I’m 41 and need all the support I can get, I just can’t support that guy. I’ve got some older PG 2.5 Nasas I’m picking up today that I think will be great.
@@mattnoonan6519 pg’s are great but dont have a lot of cushion 2.5’s traction is amazing tho Depends in what you want maybe you’d do better with more cushion than pg’s
@@mattnoonan6519 I upgraded from the kyrie 4 and the differences are tremendous. You’re 41 years old. What the hell do you care about a super rich athlete you’re never going to see. He didn’t t make the shoes. Protect your body and give yourself the best chance to play ball while you still can.
Great yearly wrap up as always! A little off topic but will you bring back doing videos on nerd stuff? I’d love to hear your thoughts on the latest Spider-Man movie and upcoming Batman!
Thank you 🙏🏼 Chris discusses nerd stuff over at our discord community. There is a full nerd section full of awesome people including a comic industry insider.
@@WearTesters Awesome, I’ll have to look into joining that! Keep up the great work can’t wait to see the next year’s worth of videos you guys will produce!
these are all great bball shoes! personally i would go with the KD14. i was able to fit them in one of the outlet stores here, and they feel very comfy. price is still a bit high though. happy new year chris, jodi and everyone at weartesters!
Kinda surprised I didn’t see the Jordan 36 make the end of year list, but I’m not surprised about any of the shoes that made it. I just wish I could actually find a pair of any of these! 😩
@@soledoutreviews the air unit feels good right under your food, breaks in nice and impact protection is good yet court feel is also nice. People stay away cause they think it’s a high top but it feels like a low
Can’t wait to cop the M1's. For me the Nitro's were awesome, I've haven't played that well in a shoe like that in a long time and I'm old (49 in Jan and still trying to ball). I have 3 pairs of Clyde Hardwoods and would take the Nitro's over them. Maybe they're OAP friendly in my case 🤷🏻♂️🤣🤣
I bought a curry 8 this year and honestly it was a huge disappointment. After the first month, they slide so much that I can't even take them to the gym anymore. After another month, the sole completely ruptured on both shoes. Just hate the fact that all the youtubers hyped the shoe and I know like 7 people with the same experience. Kinda lost trust in curry brand and really not sure if I want to give curry shoes another shot🤷♀️
What do you mean by ruptured the sole?. I've played in my Curry8s for 6-7 months now... its been really good indoor with a little bit of out door use too. And the Curry 7 has completely different tech compared to the 8s, so the exprience of rupturing the sole doesnt make sense... there is no 'air' in it.
Exact same thing that happened to me! I have no idea why all the RUclips reviewers were saying how great it is when for me it was a clunky and heavy shoe with poor traction and durability.
My curry 8 ruptured as well in the midsole but before that it was the best Basketball shoe I have ever played in . I got a full refund thankfully. It seems the curry 9 has a re-enforced midsole so here is hope that they are more durable
I'm always looking for full length zoom or boost. yep the gt run's are crazy expensive right now. I wish adidas made another crazylight boost or a primeknit marquee boost.
If you can find a pair of Air Zoom BB NXTs, they're basically the G.T. Run but better looking IMO. Snagged the Olympic colorway for like 60 bucks. Triple stacked react and zoom pods feel so good
@@oliverflogio Ah I got you. Yeah, the Cut is my favorite setup for sure. adidas did a solid job on bball shoes this year! I grabbed the Issue 3, and the Trae 1 and Dame 8 look great. I cant even defend the look - i just ordered a pair of KU team-issued Harden 3 B/Es just to own something exclusive to my fave college team. I can't say they're pretty though 😅
DUDE, I've been trying so hard to get these "top 3" pairs since your original reviews on them... Right after those reviews, I knew I needed to get them, BUT I cannot find them (at least in a size 12-13) any-damn-where.... Especially the Kyrie's - I was such a huge fan of the 6's - they were incredible, and just keep striking out Honestly, I don't like the look of the MB.01's that much, but the monchrome color helps blend some of the messier details I don't care for, but I've been so impressed by Puma the last couple years, been wanting to show my support
I got some Currys (genuinely don't know what Currys they are, sorry. But they're low cut) and they've worked amazing for me. They're amazing for indoor and outdoor use
I think Chris' #1 is the Puma MB 01 based on how he talks about it compared to everything else. I'm just wondering if Chris even got to test the KT7 or if it would have made the list had he tried it. I'm very much looking forward to a performance review though!
Can you do a video for wide footers. PLEASE. You have no idea how hard it is to buy shoes especially now during the pandemic when everything is online.
The KD14 is the best shoe i ever played in, most comfortable plus the court feel ,and traction is top notch. I can hoop for 3-4 hours without any pain in my feet. Just a great great shoe! I already bought 3 pairs. I want to try the new Kyrie's tho, looks dope!
@@tl8320 Yeah man it's pretty expensive, but i got great deals online. After i was done with the first pair, i just got online and grabbed another as quickly as I could. I couldn't give up on the comfort i felt playing with the first pair.
Good video u always keep it real when it comes to the shoes I was little skeptical about the KDs now I’m looking to buy a pair n play in them and also buy the puma mb1 they are hard to get cuz of resale prices I will get a pair
Frustrating that these are impossible to get at MSRP, if at all. My 3 kids all hoop (2 in HS and one in college), and you are my go-to source each season when it comes to picking shoes. One of my HS boys and my college daughter both love the KD line, although my daughter prefers the KD13, and my other HS boy's favorites are the AJ36 and AJ34. Would love to get the Puma Clyde all pro or the MB.01, but can't get them at a reasonable price. Same with the Curry. All my kids hated every Kyrie version for the past 4 years....lol. Keep it up!
Here is my review on some of these, i have 2 pairs of the gt cuts, they have great traction, fit snug, but are lacking support, i also have the trae's, the only thing they lack for me is that they feel flat. the kd 14s are awesome but i wont wear them because it gives me flashbacks of when i tore my mcl in them. I got a pair of the melos at champs, and they are insane, by far one of my favorite shoes to play, the gt cuts coming in a close second, but the melos have insane traction, cushion, support, the only thing for me is that i feel somewhat high off the ground. I've been trying to get a pair of curry 9s for ages, hopefully ill get them when they come out with the Elmo and cookie monster colorway. 🙏
As an ACTUAL basketball player, the reselling market is killing me. My favorite shoes of all time are the Kobe AD NXT and they go for $600+ (I’ve seen $2,000 price tags lmao) EASILY in my size on stock x. Same for the GT cut, same for most relevant basketball shoes. Even the damn Puma All-Pros resell for $200 in my size. I really hope this isn’t what I should expect moving forward. There are some shoes, like the New Balance Omn1s, that are fantastic on court and don’t resell for an arm and a leg but holy s*** is the sneaker industry getting more and more frustrating to deal with
Always look foward to this list. EEEERRRY YEAR!!! Probably my earliest memory of Nightwings favorite hoop shoe of the year was the Jordan 28 low. Wait!!! I dont think Jumpman even made the 2021 EOY list, is that a first time ever or did I miss one? Ill go re-watch but thats so dope!!! Shoes of the year for me is the KD14/J35 low/GT cut/Dame 7.5/Curry 8/Cross Over Culture Sniper/Kyrie7.. #weartesters day1s!!!
Will you be doing some performance reviews on the 3 guard shoes for indoors? I've been going back to the Kobe 6 this year. Find it hard not to play in them when they're so good.
I absolutely need a pair of the trae youngs, they look so awesome to me. I also want to try and get the curry 9s. My experience w the 8s were not good and i didnt want to wear them. The cushion was bad for me, which is weird bc i prefer minimal cushion. And the upper toebox gave me blisters. Also i was scared to go full out on lateral movements bc of the support. And its not like im a massive person. Im like 6'3 190, so i never usually have containment issues in my hoop shoes unless they just have bad support features. I also need to pick up the mb.01 but im waiting on another colorway
I grabbed 2 of the reds, 1 for collection and 1 to try out. They were amazing, but yeah I will definetly be getting the baby blue/teal ones when they come out
What don't you like about the GT Run? I got them this Christmas, but haven't got the chance to play in them yet. I remember watching your review on them, but haven't heard your opinion on their performance yet.
Love the fact it’s always about SHOES, and not just what’s hyped up. Gives the people who are really into sneakers of all kinds all the info they need that they likely wouldn’t have gotten prior. I feel like so many people forget that there are other great shoes besides retros and Yeezys and these videos helps bring that into focus.
Best comment!
Agreed
Well spoken!
Right that's how i see what a true sneakerhead is and not all about hype
Facts! It's always been about shoes and not the hype.
1) Jordan 36
2) KD 14
3) Cosmic Unity
4) GT cut
5) puma BB
which do you think you would pick for outdoor courts

Air Jordan 36... not on your list?!
Off subject…. As soon as Nike puts the new KD tech in a low top it’s going to be an all-time great hoop shoe.
Please do a review of puma triple basketball shoes
Please review just once an Asics basketball shoe. "Gelburst" or "Nova Surge". They honestly have the best performance of any shoe out there and if you could put a spotlight on them Asics might hopefully release them outside of Asia.
The most anticipated video of the year, every year! Well done Chris!
Indeed!
Thanks for still being there Chris..👍🏾👍🏾
This is one of my favorite videos of the whole year
Unbiased review is pretty awesome. Following you since 2012 😊
I copped 2 pairs of the MB.01s and decided to use one for Hooping...I must say I was impressed at how they held their own, they dropped pretty late in the year but one of my Faves for sure!
I was shocked how comfy, light and supportive the Melo kicks were! Never thought in a million years I’d be hooping in some Pumas 🔥🔥🔥
Curry 8 for me is just such a comfy shoe. Like I was so shocked that it just grips your foot so much its so amazing
My list for 2021:
1. PG5S (not sure if released in 21)
2. KD 14S
3. LaMelo Ball Puma
Been here for six years.. don’t even buy every sneaker but still watch from time to time. I remember watching the KD8 review right before buying a pair , hope ur doin great today man
Even though I haven't been able to played in door basketball for 2 years(COVID...), I still love the basketball shoe reviews
I laughed when I saw title best shoes and one of the worst reviewed shoes is the screen capture. Well played!
My top were the Jordan 36, the KD 14 and got lucky and found a Clyde All-pro in yellow and black Porsche color way for $50.
Blessings and Happy new year family!
Lucky you, l haven’t had any luck with the All Pro Porsche, just can’t find my size anywhere anymore :-(
@@eddielim3909 got mine at store called shoe palace
I have now completed a full year watching your channel Chris, I started last December 2020. Looking forward to more informative and fun videos in 2022
With the mb1s i took a risk and went a size smaller than i generally do as i had been slipping wearing the why not zero3 i had been wearing indoors, they are snug but that was the point. Looking forward to getting on a court with them
Tight handles ! Chris’ showing off the ”Don’t reach youngblood” low dribble
Bought the Traes and my girl bought me the Jordan 36’s and I gotta say I love my Traes but man the 36’s are GOD tier. So light and fit like a glove, and support all of my movements.
I've copped the kd 14s, I was not disappointed.
Kyrie: My shoe is garbage
Chris: Kyries = Bad Boys
Sorry Kyrie, the expert has spoken.
The lamelos are dope played in them today for the first time 💯 a little bit heavy at the bottom but they grip your foot so well that it makes up for it. Sort of like the kyrie 6….. also the lamelos when you first put them on might seem like your high of the ground, you get used to it fast.

Been waiting for this video all year. Love it!!!
Just got new curry 9's. Gonna try them out tomorrow!
I love your shoes reviews because you be hitting all the points a old guy that like to hoop needs.. great videos as always and god bless

It seems the curry 9 has a re-enforced midsole so here is hope that they are more durable

Awesome Review, thanks this is a great buying guide!
My wifey got me the mb01 for Christmas they feel so damn good!
Yo whats up chris..the kyrie 8 traction is godly.you stop on a ddime. Cushions great.
I wish I could find a like my pg 3s. Love the responsiveness I got with those. Super bouncy.
you know it's good traction when UA also uses the flow on running shoes and markets them with track athletes
I think Chris' #1 is the Puma MB 01 based on how he talks about it compared to everything else.
I'm just wondering if Chris even got to test the KT7 or if it would have made the list had he tried it. I'm very much looking forward to a performance review though!
Can’t decide between the KD 14 and Kyrie Infinity 😅
Puma has been killing it lately 💯
Was thinking if you ever test the freak 3? Because other people have said good things, but you never did the performance review 🔥🔥
Would love to see an all time list
Can't wait for new colorway on the mb 1!!
Can you do a video for wide footers. PLEASE. You have no idea how hard it is to buy shoes especially now during the pandemic when everything is online.
The air zoom gt cuts’ were big for Nike basketball! Need to see the zoom gt jumps!
Kd 14 and Mb.01 are my two favs on this list played in both getting a new pair of kds tho cuz I didn’t like the colorway i got so i just used nike Id
Thank you as always. So, that narrows me down to KD14 and Curry 9.
yo i got the same options. which one did you go for?
@@dwilfred923 KD14. Now, I'm kinda like why did I buy in a hurry? KT7 Low just got released! 😩

Here is my review on some of these, i have 2 pairs of the gt cuts, they have great traction, fit snug, but are lacking support, i also have the trae's, the only thing they lack for me is that they feel flat. the kd 14s are awesome but i wont wear them because it gives me flashbacks of when i tore my mcl in them. I got a pair of the melos at champs, and they are insane, by far one of my favorite shoes to play, the gt cuts coming in a close second, but the melos have insane traction, cushion, support, the only thing for me is that i feel somewhat high off the ground. I've been trying to get a pair of curry 9s for ages, hopefully ill get them when they come out with the Elmo and cookie monster colorway. 🙏
I’ve been waiting for this for a year
That hoodie ♥️👀
My sleeper hit: Under Armour Spawn 3 and Adidas Exhibit A
As an ACTUAL basketball player, the reselling market is killing me. My favorite shoes of all time are the Kobe AD NXT and they go for $600+ (I’ve seen $2,000 price tags lmao) EASILY in my size on stock x. Same for the GT cut, same for most relevant basketball shoes. Even the damn Puma All-Pros resell for $200 in my size. I really hope this isn’t what I should expect moving forward. There are some shoes, like the New Balance Omn1s, that are fantastic on court and don’t resell for an arm and a leg but holy s*** is the sneaker industry getting more and more frustrating to deal with

Will you ever do an all time best shoe list, because there have been some bangers in the past and I’m not sure how they compare to todays shoes
I have three shoes in my bag, and that is the ice trae 1, kd 14 and kyrie low 3. In my opinion those shoes are awesome!
Oh man! Always love these🤘🏼
Always look foward to this list. EEEERRRY YEAR!!! Probably my earliest memory of Nightwings favorite hoop shoe of the year was the Jordan 28 low. Wait!!! I dont think Jumpman even made the 2021 EOY list, is that a first time ever or did I miss one? Ill go re-watch but thats so dope!!! Shoes of the year for me is the KD14/J35 low/GT cut/Dame 7.5/Curry 8/Cross Over Culture Sniper/Kyrie7.. #weartesters day1s!!!
Will you be doing some performance reviews on the 3 guard shoes for indoors?
I've been going back to the Kobe 6 this year. Find it hard not to play in them when they're so good.
Kobe 1 protro is one of the best indoor or outdoor used. I used it everyday on basketball or other activity. 2 to 3years
You should do a review of the best budget shoes including the old versions on sale ie kd 13s or lebron 17-18s
Choose your budget then find the best shoe offered within your price range.
I absolutely need a pair of the trae youngs, they look so awesome to me. I also want to try and get the curry 9s. My experience w the 8s were not good and i didnt want to wear them. The cushion was bad for me, which is weird bc i prefer minimal cushion. And the upper toebox gave me blisters. Also i was scared to go full out on lateral movements bc of the support. And its not like im a massive person. Im like 6'3 190, so i never usually have containment issues in my hoop shoes unless they just have bad support features. I also need to pick up the mb.01 but im waiting on another colorway
I grabbed 2 of the reds, 1 for collection and 1 to try out. They were amazing, but yeah I will definetly be getting the baby blue/teal ones when they come out
I'm in Australia l, but I love that hoodie you are wearing 👍
you should do a review of the craft air jordan 1s
What don't you like about the GT Run? I got them this Christmas, but haven't got the chance to play in them yet. I remember watching your review on them, but haven't heard your opinion on their performance yet.
Jordan 36 the best shoe imo
