Hey Farooq, yes you could play basketball in these as they are court shoes! If you are playing soccer on a hard court they would be fine, if on astroturf or grass I would go for a proper soccer shoe for the grip on the sole
You definitely get one number bigger I'm wearing always 43 on nike shoes I think 9.5 US and it was really too tight uncomfortable at front so I returned them and I got 44 for first time it's perfect you have to look also the black/white gold suede it's absolutely a pleasure for the eyes
I have Alpha Trainer 5 and I have also tried Pegasus 39 (Friend's). Lookwise it's definitely Alpha Trainer 5 and comfort wise it's Pegasus 39 without a doubt. Pegasus 39 offers more comfort and responsiveness compared to Alpha Trainer 5. If you have to choose one of these two, I recommend you to go for Pegasus 39.
hey Dan, hope you are still replying. My shoe size is around 10 in air Jordan 1's and 9.5 in air forces (since they run big). I am planning to buy this on sale, what size should I go?
Hey Aldrich, thanks for watching - I'm not sure how air jordan 1s come up in sizing but I am a 8.5 in airforce 1s (flat court shoe) and a 9 in these max alphas. Try size 10 and you can exchange them for free on the nike website anyway if it does not fit 💪
Firstly great review and secondly great content you make, really educating the public. I am flat footed, and some shoes hurt, and even though these are lifting shoes, if I get them and put a good insole in, do you think it’ll be good for some running? Also it would be great if you did a video on Flat Feet and Comfy shoes(but idk if that’d fit with your fitness content)
Hey - Thanks very much for watching and your comment. I appreciate it. With an insole I think you should be fine with these for lifting and maybe a short run (under 5km,), but I'd favour a specific running shoe if you have the budget for that. If you want to do both more cost effectively you could look at a flat shoe like Converse or a cheaper non branded version for lifting, and prioritise getting a running shoe

Hey Nguyen Huang, gym and running on a machine for a short distance (up to 5km) would be good. If you are running longer distance I would recommend a more padded sole shoe 👍
Hi Armando, thanks for watching. Nike MC 2 look like they have a bit more of a padded sole, whereas Alpha are flatter. MC better for short runs, Alpha more for gym /court sports. Both would be fine i'm sure
hey damien, there is not much padding on the sole like with a normal running trainer but they would be fine for a shorter run. Longer distance you will want a proper running shoe
Hey Dean, thanks for watching. Some of my clients have Metcons and they are also good for lifting! Both have flat soles and are similar, so I would decide based on your budget and personal preference!
Hi Nishith, thanks for watching. Walking in these is absolutely fine - that won't be a problem. If you are walking a long distance you may want more padded soles
hi cody- yes you could do short runs in these say 5km or less and plyometrics would be fine too, you would have power through the floor with the stable flat sole- running shoes with bigger sole probably more ideal obviously for runs
Hi! Not sure if you've tried Nike Air Huarache but I got a size 10 of those and it's a bit tight for my feet. Should i go size up or size down for alpha trainer 5?
thanks JC! Appreciate your support mate, I often wear them out and about for my steps and they look good- think you could use both inside & outside of gym. You'd want a more padded sole for running though If you need a hand with your fitness goals I'm more than happy to help so feel free to drop me a message on Instagram @pt.shine 💪
Hey dan i m from India, just a new subscriber of yours, alpha trainer 5 or nike legend essential 3? Or city rep please help me select one and please tell most of RUclipsr don't:)
Hey Shubhankar, thanks for subscribing and supporting the channel! For the shoe, are you using it for everyday tasks like walking and weight training or running too? The city rep has a bigger padded heel than the alpha trainer 5 or legend essential, if I were you I'd go for alpha /legend if for gym as flatter sole
Hi Burak! Thank you for watching, my girlfriend is half Turkish and her parents live there, so I completely understand the struggles you are facing there. If there is anything else I can help you with, let me know 👍

Hey thank you Dan, great review from Kansas, United States here 👋 defiantly going to get myself a pair. My gym shoes are currently are on their last leg, ready for some new ones. Cheers 🍻
You have more chance of me getting a Nobel prize than lifting weights, counter intuitive for me I'm a cyclist. That said i like these and the likes of the superep three.
Haha -thanks for your comment Stephen. I would disagree on it being counter intuitive though, having stronger legs in particular could complement your cycling. You don't have to do that much either, it could be 1-2 full body workouts per week for 30 mins per session

Good content but my left ear didn't like it much :D
@@anshuman17025 Thanks for watching! 💪🔥
my right ear appreciated this review. My left one , not so much.
glad to hear it Chris 😂 feedback noted
Hey, i just wanted to ask, would i be able to play basketball/maybe soccer etc with these shoes?
Hey Farooq, yes you could play basketball in these as they are court shoes! If you are playing soccer on a hard court they would be fine, if on astroturf or grass I would go for a proper soccer shoe for the grip on the sole
Excellent shoe critique. Thank you 😊
glad you enjoyed the video, thanks for watching!
I use these for lifting and running I think they great
@@klevvr2520 I agree- good for lifting! have a nice day
Nice vid sir. Can i use this for light basketball playing?

thanks for watching & your comment Nefeli! 💪
I always gets .5 size bigger for Nikes
hi, tl:dr; is this good for casual things like walking, runing or cycling?
yeah all good for those- i use it for walking and spin bike a lot. For running I'd recommend a different shoe, with more padded soles (these are flat)
@@PT.DanShine okay, took notes. thanks for your answer!
@@sadoshima118 anytime, always happy to help 😊 are you working towards any fitness goals at the moment?
@@PT.DanShine mm, not really.
Which is better to wear casually . Alpha trainer 5 or pegasus 39. Or can you recommend me another one
Thanks for watching Paul - Pegasus ones have a more padded sole, alpha is flatter so I'd go Pegasus style for casual or another one
I have Alpha Trainer 5 and I have also tried Pegasus 39 (Friend's). Lookwise it's definitely Alpha Trainer 5 and comfort wise it's Pegasus 39 without a doubt. Pegasus 39 offers more comfort and responsiveness compared to Alpha Trainer 5. If you have to choose one of these two, I recommend you to go for Pegasus 39.
I just bought alpha trainer 6 are they good lifestyle sneakers ?
@@nemanjadjuric9307 yeah i think they are good for everyday stuff- walking and gym and they look great
Can you use it for basketball?
yes it would be fine for court shoes 👍
@@PT.DanShinetraction of outside sole? Does it make some squick sound? 😅😂
@@Nod428Hey - it should be fine for basketball - as they are flat soles
@@PT.DanShine thanks for answering sir. Im watching reviews . My mom bought me one of those 😅
@@Nod428 have a great weekend Dominic!

Do these contain any leather??
I don't think so - check out the product on Nike website for more details
hi i have wide feet US size 10, should i go half a size up or down?
try size up
Great for flat feet, plenty of room for wide toes.
glad you like the shoes- hope you are well 👍
Será q é bom para usá-lo no dia a dia casualmente ?
sim confortável para caminhar diariamente
@@PT.DanShineencontrei ele no valor de 550,$ vale apena pagar esse valor nele hoje final 2023 por esse tênis ?
Hi Dan, How about this shoes if I wear it when gym and running (machine). Thank you guyyy
Hey Nguyen Huang, gym and running on a machine for a short distance (up to 5km) would be good. If you are running longer distance I would recommend a more padded sole shoe 👍
@@PT.DanShine TQTQTQ. I only run about 2km and soft gym. Decide to buy it tomorrow haha tks kiuuu 😍
@@huangjiang1993 No worries! happy to help, have a good day
@@PT.DanShine nice day toooo
What do you think about the mc trainer 2? Are those comparable with these?
Hi Armando, thanks for watching. Nike MC 2 look like they have a bit more of a padded sole, whereas Alpha are flatter. MC better for short runs, Alpha more for gym /court sports. Both would be fine i'm sure
Is this shoes good for HIIT or Cardio workout ?
You could use it for HIIT or a short run (5km) - for a longer run I would recommend a more padded sole - proper running shoe
Are these good for running on the treadmill?
hey damien, there is not much padding on the sole like with a normal running trainer but they would be fine for a shorter run. Longer distance you will want a proper running shoe
Hey Dan, would you take these over though new metcons to used only for lifting?
Hey Dean, thanks for watching. Some of my clients have Metcons and they are also good for lifting! Both have flat soles and are similar, so I would decide based on your budget and personal preference!
@@PT.DanShine awesome, thanks for the quick response buddy I appreciate it.
@@deanshields8031 No worries have a great day & let me know if you need a hand with anything else 👍
Please does anyone have these small dots on the bottom of the air max or should i return the batch
thanks for watching, sorry I'm not sure on this one! hope someone else can help you out if they have had a similar thing 💪
Nice review mate. Ive always wanted some lifting shoes. Might have to purchase these bad boys!
thanks mate! appreciate it 👊 they are class
can this used for walking？
hey! yes definitely can use these for walking 👍
Are these shoes flat enough? I wonder if I should go for Nike Air Max Alpha Trainer 5 or go for something Nike Savaleos?
there's a bit of a sole but still pretty flat, you could go for the Savaleos or Metcons if you have a bit more budget too. Thanks for watching 👍
What about walking upto 6km ?
Hi Nishith, thanks for watching. Walking in these is absolutely fine - that won't be a problem. If you are walking a long distance you may want more padded soles
What is the height of its sole? Will it increase my height?
It is quite a flat sole, won't increase your height massively compared to traditional running trainers
@@PT.DanShine alrighty
Thanks for replying
@@pepewr No problem - happy to help! thanks for watching, have a good day
Can I use there for volleyball?
thanks for watching, should be fine for volleyball
The shoes is good to go in the gym and run in street?
Hi Dyone, they are better for the gym as the sole is quite flat. You may want a bit more padding support for running. Thanks for watching 👊
Nice review man
thanks chloe! appreciate it
Could you make short runs in these? Like sprints or doing plyometrics?
hi cody- yes you could do short runs in these say 5km or less and plyometrics would be fine too, you would have power through the floor with the stable flat sole- running shoes with bigger sole probably more ideal obviously for runs
Hi! Not sure if you've tried Nike Air Huarache but I got a size 10 of those and it's a bit tight for my feet. Should i go size up or size down for alpha trainer 5?
@@IdleTech Hi Jron - i am 0.5 size up on Alpha so recommend that, not had Huarache or the other one before so can't really comment on those
Can you play basketball with these?
thanks for watching - they are flat soles like court shoes so should be fine 👍
Can i use on the moon?
😂😂
Esse modelo é recomendável pegar um número maior?
Eu recomendaria fiel ao tamanho
@@PT.DanShineentão eu calço 41 posso pegar tamanho 41 mesmo ?
Great content mate. Quick question, can this be an all-day sneakers?

Is this good for riding a motorcycle?
they are flat so you would probably be fine, but they are not made with that purpose in mind specifically
Can I use it for casual wear like I am hanging out with my friends or going to mall
