I like to see the evolution of the product and keep its shape for the most part . The one model flopped so badly and the people were asking for more comfort and performance based and thats what he delivered . Also with a price decrease ? He did what he had to do and i respect the man for the outcome
The white bump at the back is truly an eyesore... gawd I'd try to pry it off. Other than that, it's a nice looking shoe, but I can't help but think that the silhouette is basically YZY QNTM at the front and YZY 350 at the back.
Played in them the other day. Cushion softens after breaking in and has good bounce. Traction is very good. Lockdown is good too as you can really tighten the laces and there’s no lace pressure. I only wish the shoes were lighter and not as much of a brick on feet. Either way, they will be in my rotation for playing going forward. I think these look great though.
Aesthetically I prefer the 1st model , they seem more like a basketball inspired fashion sneaker whereas these are more performance based. I have the all white model 1 sneaker but I will wait for better colorways to drop for these
I’m mad that I missed out on the 40% discount also the only thing I don’t like about the sneakers is the big pimple on the bad, other than that it is a solid sneaker
Basketball 1 is like a concept car that looks great but isn’t the real thing. Basketball 2 is the production model that isn’t exactly as great as the concept, but performs good.
@@edwardr791 if Adidas was smart though they would keep Jerry just for that deal. Lol. Would be a way for Adidas to get a piece of that pie since Nike has a monopoly on everything
Jerry should’ve dropped that D-rose colorway first, these black upper and white sole look so trash and basic even from the first one and he still decided to drop the same colorway for the second one.
Need more colorways. Maybe all black w a black midsole. Colorways are so important they can make or break a shoe. I agree that Adidas bubble on the back is HIDEOUS! They should have used the Adidas Originals logo. Or maybe put FOG on there? I dont know what Mr Lorenzo is thinking honestly. A big white bubble on the back with Adidas in printed letters.

All super valid points

I agree with you on the adidas logo on the heel. It’s part of the reason why I’m waiting for the all white pair.

Always knows what's up 💪🏼
while the 2 leans more on the performance aspect more, looks-wise, i prefer the one. the black + sesame combo was the best looking imo
🎯
@@jettavarro3088 the black+sesame is definitely an eye catcher! I wore mine the other day and had a few people ask what shoes I was wearing!
I honestly really love the design of this shoe, the branding on the heel really grew on me, maybe different colorways will look better!
I agree!
Tbh I think they look great as hightops, they're so sleek
"Like a tree stump"
You really didn't hold anything back 👀

Yeah the bulb on the back makes no sense to me at all
@@LocustAndWildHoney Yeah it sticks out too much
These look sick and a lot better than the first ones imho
Just purchased the 1, I think these are a miss
1>2
I'm team Nike and team Jordan. But I just got these And they're actually my first pair of Adidas ever lol. But I actually love these. They are dope.

What’s weird for me is the NBA collab is under ESSENTIALS when it should have been ATHLETICS
That’s actually a valid take! Probably Jerry not wanting to line adidas as part of that deal
That’s what I thought too and why I agree that Athletics would be a better entity moving forward if it will separate itself with Adidas

Still have the highs? Lmk
I think it does not match with any type of pants. 😭
That’s a fair take
Why hasnt your channel grew! Come on man!
Slow and steady 😂
They clean i like them for lifestyle
The 40% off price should've been normal price for everyone
i got to checkout, and they sold out :(
Kicks r 🔥
First one was better for under $100.
Man was this video over edited
