There are shoes made for players - signatures - and those players are a specific position. You can disagree w me all you want but facts are facts. Will that shoe help you out with what you want or need is the question which is what I tried to get across in this video.
Yeah, take a look at the reviews, read them if needed then compare their scores in the attributes you want or require... just like I stated in this video.
Thats where your preference comes into play. You know your style and you should know what attributes you require or desire.
well the answer to your question is in the video. There are scores for the attributes and the HD and HF models are meant to be an every man type of shoe.
People locally and then the rest were given to those that follow my site constantly. Supporters get rewarded.
fit, cushion, and traction! easy as that. that is all i need. i noticed if the fit is good the support is usually good.
You're a great help to thousands of guys (and maybe gals too) out there! Keep up the good work!
Glad you like them! I didnt find ventilation to be an issue either since the fit is so secure - so you arent sliding around in the shoe.
I give you the respect man. this vid really opens up my prespective on choosing what shoes to get. just few min ago i was on and over about the what sort of new nike latest shoes are, but now it dosent necessary be all nice and cocky. really glad that i get a chance to see this vid. THANKS lots man!
Until the end of the year when I gave out all of my reviewed shoes, that is true. Which is why I give them away at the end of the year... I dont need them.
Best options in MY opinion: point: cp3s. SG: D roses or crazy lights or kobes SF: hyperdunks or kd 5s pf: hyperposites (if your wi
Depends on how you play, I'd recommend the Rose 3s for a quicker style of play and the KDs because those things are just fucking awesome on court.
can't believe it's almost 14 minutes.. i just enjoy the video, aaaand it's over..
great review, great topic, really informative and it's opened my mind pretty clear about deciding what shoes to buy..
Nightwing you will love the Kobe 8 I'm here from the future
Lol
bruh
This is one of your best videos. THIS CLEARED A LOT OF THINGS UP. I really appreciate you do, being unbiased and keeping it relevant. You're videos are also enjoyable to watch. Thank you very much.
I'm about 5'8" SG and i picked up the kobe 7 elite for $89 at my outlet store. One of the best models i've played in as far as cushion, fit, and flexibility go. Only flaw is they hurt your feet for the first day or two wearing them, but once you get past the break in time, they're great.
Im 1000 pounds 4 feet tall and 5 years old
get a wheelchair..
I would recomend to get the Shaqnosis
forklift
So you're a mini cooper with fingers?
I believe a good topic to discuss is to go over and compare the technology of each brand. For example, Nike: Fuse Vs. Adidas: Sprint Wed or whatever they call it....
I believe most viewers play ball outdoors as opposed to indoors including myself, so I second that outdoor performance shoes idea.
Yes, it has great traction for being such a light shoe, so that is two great things about it... Just watch the video about the shoe by kicks on court
another point guys is that cp3s kobes lebrons and kds are ment for those players. they make shoes that fit their play style. so when you think what shoe? pick a shoe for your play style
Dude you are a beast you couldn't of explain it any better that's why I consider you the man, and the best thing is that you're keeping it all about the game, basketball.... You hit all the answers to the questions that I had on the spot.. Well done hats off to you bro.... Oh and 1 more thing I'm still in the lookout for your logo shirts let me know.. lol peace..
I'm 6 years old, 3'9", 450 lbs, which shoe is best for me
Sandals lol 450 lbs ahahahah
+NICKHAM16 Skechers
flyknit mercurials
Brandon Ivey XDD
Crocs
should be enough
you know what? this topic really baffles me. thanks to nightwing for bringing this issue up. i know i made the right decision when i bought my first hyperfuse. im 5'8, around 80kg, all around shoe like the hyperfuse really fits me well. :)
Ah gotcha lol. Small isnt always a bad thing. We can get in and out of the lane easily. Catch a body though and I go flying lol.
I'm a point guard and best shoes in my opinion are the Kobe 9 lebron 11 cp3.8 and Jordan 28s if I had to pick my fav all around it would be the cp3.8s so like night wing said it all depends on what fits you. Etc.
Amazing how much adidas improved in basketball shoes
Topics: Outsole comparison(translucent, solid, xdr), Cusions (lunar micro G eva phylon cushlon etc.foam, zoom air, max air normal air (like in a retro) max zoom
Honestly position should matter for the most part. Obviously centers will need to post up more, and point guards will need to be quicker. It comes down to style of play. Pau Gasol wears Kobe's, al Jefferson wears kd's, and Ty Lawson wears lebron's. Like he said choose by attributes that fit your needs.
In the video he says you should never ask a question such as (LeBron 11 or Kobe 9 and I'm this height or weight) because it doesn't matter because it is whatever you look for in a basketball shoe. That's all you people are doing in the comment section. All of you missed the whole point of the video. It is whatever you are looking for in a sneaker that should work for you. Not this vs. this. Just pick a damn shoe and play shoes are a luxury if anything.
Yup
You should make a performance topic about how much a shoe will affect your playing(if you haven't already). A lot of people think that shoes make a huge difference in skill so I just want to hear your take on it.
Yep like you said, It's all about personal preferences. Bro I just wanna say your the best reviewer out there. You cover everything and you update every other day. And btw I didn't mean you're small nightwing, I meant Albert at 5'3. I'm also 5'7 bro
Most shoes will tend to run 'narrow' for you if you have wide feet so you dont really have a choice there.
You know I like how people are still asking which shoe is best for them when nightwing clearly explains it...
I would seriously recommend this video to anyone new to basketball, so many kids waste their money (and their potential) on sneaks that just aren't made for their playing style. Legit, these are great vids, all the reviews look at every aspect of the shoe, and they relate to the player. Nightwing2303 knows his shoes man!
thanks bro. Its prob the adidas top ten 2000 or a reebok twilight zone pump.
i'm the same as you, i use the fly wade 2s. they give me the best performance out of any other shoe i've ever had
Love the discussion theme. Yes! Please do one for all the outdoor hoopers! Keep up the great work!
I play every position on the floor, that makes it tough lol. But maybe for the next one you should compare different types of cushion, zoom, air max, podulon, micro g, basically any cushioning that's used by major brands.
Best advice I've ever got on picking shoes, thanks nightwing! Keep them coming.
Good info on each shoe. But I think what it really boils down to is personal preference. I'm a 6'3 forward & I play in Kobe 7s so its all about what you think feels best for you.
Lol right! I'm a low top guy though, and I'm more of a 2guard/3 than anything else, so I love the kd IV and the low hyperfuses. The low top hyperfuses are the best shoe I've played in, in my opinion.
nice vid bro love the breakdown of what shoes are good for body size
great review. i totally recomend the hyperdunks for big men too. I'm a big man and so is lebron and i loved it. Lebron also played in it for months
You would probably want the adidas crazylights or crazylight 2 as they are the lightest and will keep up with the quickest of players. I own the crazylight 2's and they are by far the best pair of shoes I have ever had...
great video, learned alot, "rock what you like" great message, if only everyone else followed that message.
Absolutely helpful!! Thank you for sharing this!!! 😀
you really deserve more views your reviews is ace!
I'm 16. 5'10, 130. Obviously I'd play guard, maybe even as high as SF because I can rebound pretty well for my size. I want a lot of cushion though. Hyperdunk is what it looks like I'm settling with. If only I can find a pair.
great video. love that shoe set up in the background at the end with the funky lighting
This is the start of a great series. Awesome work!
yeah he is small. Similar to my game, i play SF and a stretch 4 at 5'10 but i play usually from the post when no one is big enough. May be he meant that he needs a shoe that for a center- rebounding and contesting shots at the rim.
I'm 5'4 12 years old 100 pounds and I play small forward/power forward. Any suggestions?
good job nightwing, I enjoyed you going into the detail, it really helped for future refrence
This video is just what I've been looking for...!! Thanks!
5'4 and 103 pounds. I usually go for the layup or pass it off. I'm thinking I'd get the crazy light.
I personally love lebron models, however as a 6 foot 1 4\5 type player I have no problem in a Kobe or kd
im a 5'8 point guard and i use Derrick Rose 3.0 i think its amazing. Highly recommended ^o^
I'm 5'10 170lbs and quick for my size so I prefer anything Dwight Howard comes out with
if ur small and light then get a guard shoe, lebrons are made people who weigh around 250 pounds. look at the roses, cp3s, kobes, or other shoes that are made for smaller players
Im 5'6, I weight 130 pounds and play as a point guard/shooting guard depending on who is available on my team. I shoot mid range jumpers, 3's, and layups all about equally each, any shoe suggestions for me?
exactly
There is a list on my site with my top 5 tips to picking the perfect outdoor hoop shoe.
From Nike I would go with the Hyperfuse. From adidas , any of the crazlight/quick shoes.
Great video, this will really help me out when I'm trying to find my next pair of b-ball shoes. Keep up the awesome vids.
This really helped me out a lot thank you so much. Love your content!
im a Guard who wears LeBron X, which is a heavy type of shoe compare to lightweight shoes out there,reading the comments below is a no brainer.... wear a SHOE that YOU like it does not matter how you play on court go out there and try bunch of shoes till u find out whats good for you
Nice collection Dude! , If you have son or having a son , that kid is lucky
Hey man, really enjoyed this video, look forward to more topic videos.
yep. he is
Ok so I'm 5'4 Pg/Sg big hops hustle plays, move around a lot. I need ankle support because i mess up my ankle a lot, and i definitely drive to the hoop and shoot a lot. Whats the best for me?
kobe 9 hightops fast and supportive
I am light but have weaker ankles so I get a light shoe with good support which is why I have got the hyperdunk every year
I play forward, but I wear Kobe VII's (I ID'd Kobe 8s, but they're still in transit from China). I have Hyperdunk 2012's, and Lebron X's and I wear both from time to time, but I just like the Kobe VII's best. Obviously, I wear some ankle guards to avoid rolling an ankle with the VII's... I just think the Kobe's work best for me.
Could someone answer me this question, if I usually wear 9.5 basketball shoes is there a problem if I buy a 10.5 size shoe? I'm planning on buying a Kobe Venomenom 4 or D.Rose 4.5 THANKS!!
Low cuts if you're good at doing the breaking of the ankles.
this is basically my exact thought process - well done on the video
I was playing in the five toe shoes and it's the best thing I've ever use only prob
Kds are the fire!!!! They look so nice
i wouldnt say most, but true, get some performances out there!
The Kobe vs lebron thing is understandable but what about choosing 2 different shoes from the same line? i.e. lebron 11 vs lebron 12?
same,oof u found the answer yet? because i need that
to hoop in, the Reebok Question.
the melo m8's have great cushioning, i'm not sure about the m8 advance though. to me, the cushioning felt like playing on a pillow. if you don't mind the fact that it's a high-cut shoe and that there isn't any real ventilation, i would recommend them highly, they were in nike's outlet store for $80 about a month or so ago. the laces are also kinda long for some odd reason.
I'll run circles around you though lol. I prefer traction and fit then cushion, personally.
how is 6'3 200lbs considered overweight? im 6'1 190 and i can dunk.... and im white..
yeah that isn't overweight. if that is then Kyle Lowry is like 20 pounds overweight
realll shitt.. dkmmm
+l0l git rickt m9 well it kinda is yet not by much
and @ 6'3 240 the Crazy Light 2 is a fine shoe for me FYI
great video i am deciding whether to get the lebron x or the kd v and i think this helped me with my desicion thanks
I just ordered a custom pair of Kenton's and I'm so exited!!
I am 13 years old, 5'5" , 120 lbs. which shoes are best for me because I drive and my ankles get loose.
Just to be specific...make one on what attributes are good for outdoor shoes.
Future topic should be on the different cushioning systems and materials that brands use
thanks dude! this vid is really helpful :)
No offense, but aren't you a little small for a big man? Well, if you really do play the 4 or 5, the super.fly 2 but only because it has better support. The hyperdunks have a more lighter and cushioned support system. I'm 6'7" and a small forward, 225 pounds so I'm not sure what you need...hope this helps
Good video, brotha. Keep up the good work.
I'm 5'5 and almost 120 pounds and i like Nike Air Quick Handle
could you make like a diagram or chart where you classify shoes by its traction, ventilation, cushion etc. thanks
I think another thing to be considered is your feet structure. Are your feet wide or narrow? My friends who have wide feet told me that in some models, even they increase half size or one size of the shoes, it still doesnt give them a perfect fit as they get a wider toe box but longer shoe. (But I dont have any problem with this thing)
So, we need to try at the shop before buying it lol
I'm 13 years old and any suggestions for a 5ft 11in 160lbs center. Preferably with some good cushion and heel support
im guessing your in High School, so really you can buy anyshoe, it depends on your playing style, but for the most part, you'll want a guard shoe, they are supported for people any height up to about 6'5 because guards are so tall nowadays.
You should do videos like these more often!
