    Dude, Thank YOU for all these reviews. And don't worry, take care of your wrist, we'll definitely still be here giving you support, brother! Not too many people do what you do and you have developed quite a community on RUclips and the internet in general. Keep up the great work!

  • @kmac15101
    @kmac15101 11 лет назад

    No man thankyou! Defintely shedding light on the elements we all as players need to play our type of game. Whether its speed, traction or cushioning you cover everything and it is very much appreciated as you can see from your views or subscribers. Thanks alot

  • @jedwardsoner
    @jedwardsoner 11 лет назад

    thanks for the video mate, you're so comprehensive with each shoe and very clear about what each shoe presents. i have absolutely no idea how people can still be asking questions like if the hyperposite is good at a guard position in comments section when you just said they'd be great for a C.

  • @dcrazy1001
    @dcrazy1001 11 лет назад

    ur the only shoe reviewer that shows on court action. Personally, I think that's what people wanna see. Keep it up man!

  • @WearTesters
    @WearTesters  11 лет назад

    I stated in the video very clearly that there is a cut off date and the Kobe 8 were release well after the cut off date. Please listen to what is said in the videos before asking questions that are already covered.

  • @nikosd3828
    @nikosd3828 11 лет назад

    Another great vid man. Thanks for another season helping me choose which shoes to play well on court

  • @WearTesters
    @WearTesters  11 лет назад

    Its not about what is better, its all about what YOU need.

  • @mattwalker21
    @mattwalker21 11 лет назад

    I'm sad to see the Kobe 7 on your "worst of the year" mentions, though I understand where you're coming from with your problems (these things are subjective, after all). The Kobe 7 Elite (maybe there is a significant difference between the Elite and regular versions, not sure) has been my go-to hoops sneaker for the past 8 months. Everything about it seems like it was tailored specifically for me.
    Thanks for everything you do, Nightwing! I always get excited when I see a new video in my inbox!

  • @iFollowGod9
    @iFollowGod9 11 лет назад

    Have had the Kd 5s for 2 months now and every single time i wear them its a new blister on my left foot. Wore them for the last time this morning and have a new blister, but finally got my super flys in.

  • @Chibbi2k8
    @Chibbi2k8 11 лет назад

    The CP3 VI are the most comfortable basketball shoes I've ever worn. I feel like I have so much more control over my feet when I play in them. Copped them in the christmas colourway it is FIRE!

  • @messymikemlmj
    @messymikemlmj 11 лет назад

    i usually see 20minutes. and skip the video. but i stayed. and watched the whole thing. very informative. and about half of those shoes are on sale and i want to get them. and after al the stuff you said. just makes them alot better. because cushion and breathability is something i look for in a shoe. thanks. good video. keep it up

  • @tunptl18
    @tunptl18 11 лет назад

    Awesome reviews bro, covers all the subject areas, nice and detailed. You also distinguish between actual performance review and your personal preferences which not many people do properly. Shout out from the UK

  • @dillaaaaa
    @dillaaaaa 11 лет назад

    thank you so much for your review every time.
    i always wait for your review before actually purchasing one.
    a little surprised to see 9 elite on top on x on forward category.
    actually anxiously waiting for my id x...
    hopefully it would work fine for a guard guy as well...
    also wants to recommend people to try cp3.
    you mentioned about poor heel lockdown but that would not affect the overall satisfaction?
    big up from japan and rest well.
    we need another strong performance review year...

  • @SocraticMind89
    @SocraticMind89 11 лет назад

    Under Armour def. makes really great foam cushy shoes! i really appreciate your time and quality in your vids, your right, there the best looking Kobe's IMHO, the outrigger is top notch, zoom is really responsive but damn the lockdown sometimes kills the fore part of my top foot!

  • @changpochun
    @changpochun 11 лет назад

    I bought Lebron 9 elite for bball after watching your previous review. Awesome review as always. Thank you.

  • @johnsinachiris1
    @johnsinachiris1 11 лет назад

  • @WearTesters
    @WearTesters  11 лет назад

    Im not mad, just asking if there was an issue with me liking a number of kicks even if they arent targeted toward my specific position on the floor.

  • @WearTesters
    @WearTesters  11 лет назад

    Its like you're having a conversation with my video self lol.

  • @gilbertcazares634
    @gilbertcazares634 11 лет назад

    LMFAO Mr. Nightwing @ 5:13 "alot people obviously.....don't understand what a review is" xD Great video as well as the organization that you put into it. I hope the Kobe 8 will be on 2013. Thanks

    Isaiah thomas wearing that reebok bricks on the court, but performed really well. If he goes for Nike, i think his crossover and performance will be crazy

  • @kyuhwa
    @kyuhwa 11 лет назад

    great review!!!! I was looking for a great basketball shoes since I've always been getting the hot spot whenever I play ball and you pin pointed the issue right out of one of the shoes! Thank you!

  • @Jerz2392410
    @Jerz2392410 11 лет назад

    Awesome video nightwing, whenever i need a performance review on a certain sneaker i go to your videos to get the review. By the way, didnt u say the CP3 .VI lacks ankle support?

  • @Groundshaker85
    @Groundshaker85 11 лет назад

    Really nice vid dude. I hear you are the guru of performance review on the interwebs and i totally agree. Keep it going!! Bballers around the world get a lot of help from your sharing of knowledge. Peace

  • @WearTesters
    @WearTesters  11 лет назад

    I said they lacked heel lockdown. Forefoot fit I loved, you can double check the review if you'd like. Just bc I love a shoe doesnt mean I wont critique it.

  • @TrungPham
    @TrungPham 11 лет назад

    You did a good job in this video. Hope you heal up. I love playing ball and sneakers like you. Like you, I'm not getting any younger. I'm in my mid 40s. I just started playing more lately. I hope to play as long as I can. I also like trying on different basketball shoes.
    From this video I will definitely be getting CP3 VI and KD V (NIKEiD version).

  • @esikerzsebet9788
    @esikerzsebet9788 11 лет назад

    Hey nightwing2303,
    awesome shoes in the guard category, the reason why i ordered the under armour torch yesterday is you, thanks a lot man!

  • @SonnyFalcone718

    Love the videos I've picked my last 2 pair of basketball sneakers based on your reviews right now I'm wearing the air Jordan 2012 fly over and I got them for $70.00usd which is a steal but keep up the good work homie

    @LoveLife8P 11 лет назад

    I'm saving up for my CP3 VI's :) and thanks a lot for your hard work. it helped me tons and i truly admire the passion that you have for shoes! Keep makin good vids!

  • @frankpeas3328
    @frankpeas3328 11 лет назад

    Just copped the Aero Flights and the ride is a lot stiffer than I thought, not sure if I still need to break them in as I've only hooped in them twice. I'd definitely recommend the Kobe 8 over them as well as this year's Hyperdunk.

  • @DerpDoinWork
    @DerpDoinWork 11 лет назад

    Yea Nightwing's videos are awesome. Reviews for ppl who actually ball in their sneaks. I'm hoping we get retros of Adidas Feet You Wear Top Ten 2010. They were so comfy. Also, Adidas Gil Zero Lows. I'm a sucker for low tops too, as a PG they give me so much freedom. I hope they retro the Gils as well.

  • @randomgrit777
    @randomgrit777 11 лет назад

    oh men, we have the same taste! that reebok is also my favorite of all time. The comfort when I chase the ball is awesome! I love that shoes. I can't find any here in the Philippines.

  • @WearTesters
    @WearTesters  11 лет назад

    It could, the shoes arent defined solely as those type of shoes. If a shoe has what you need then use it.

  • @fabulouspoet
    @fabulouspoet 11 лет назад

    Nightwing. i stumbled upon your videos a few days ago and i cant stop watching them! best reviews for shoes ive seen yet!! what do you think about the 2012 nike hyperdunk hi top?? im a shooting guard...any recomendations??

    Yo Nightwing, Great Job this year with all your sneaker videos. I love ur reviews. Cant wait for the kobe 8 review.

  • @aaronz.karesh3927
    @aaronz.karesh3927 11 лет назад

    I'm a 5'6/5'7 120 lb combo guard. Due to the shape and arch of my foot, Nikes/Jordans usually don't work for me unless they have unbelievable padding; however, when they do have that cushion, they are usually heavy on the feet which is undesirable for a guard. I would appreciate suggestions because from watching many of your videos, you seem like quite the expert. Thanks

  • @qwerty327608
    @qwerty327608 11 лет назад

    the spines are great, and so are the kd vs, the kd iv's were very good, only problem is ankle support!

  • @PowerADAM423

  • @DerpDoinWork
    @DerpDoinWork 11 лет назад

    Where did you get that colorway of the Jordan CP3? I love them. Think it will be my sneak for 2013 men's league. Also, do I spy the new Ninja Turtle figures? haha those are sick. But yo, with a name like Nightwing, where is the Batman figures? You a fan of Batman TAS and the Nolan films, bro?

  • @DRock406
    @DRock406 11 лет назад

    GREAT video as always man. Was really looking forward to this, and i'm psyched that the CP6's were #1! I've been wanting to buy purely based off of the traction ALONE, but this just solidifies my decision to buy em. Keep it up man, but try to heal up as well! Lol. Peace.

  • @kjung2526
    @kjung2526 11 лет назад

    great video! keep up the good work, man! amazing in detail video. keep it up! and get that hand checked..
    you just sold me the CP3.VI, i was about to go for the KD V's ( I already own the IV's, and besides the pinching, the fit is actually great), but now I finally made a decision
    keep it up!

  • @jman600
    @jman600 11 лет назад

    i agree with you with the cp3, its a great shoe, takes alot of pressure off my legs and knees...this is a solid basketball, the heel takes time to get used to but other than that, its a nearly a perfect basketball shoe.

    @tommeey.490 11 лет назад

    Good job on the reviews. I can really tell you know your stuff. Quick questions though, I noticed on your website you have the D.Rose 3 as your #2 in the Top 10 of 2012, however in this vid, you only have it as #4 even for the guard category? Just noticed because I am deciding if I should get them. Thanks! Also, what was your opinion on the Answer 5?

  • @kitchenman345

  • @Racin808
    @Racin808 11 лет назад

    Yo Nightwing kind of surprised about the cp3.6. I really wanted to get it around october but the performance review you talked about the shoe not having a lot of cushion (which i need for my shins) and not very good heel lockdown. Next thing you know i see it as your number 1 without noting the flaws stated earlier. Just pure praise. How did it end up being your favorite shoe?

  • @crapsack47
    @crapsack47 11 лет назад

    Nightwing while you are recovering you should review little stuff like shorts you have played in or socks.

  • @WearTesters
    @WearTesters  11 лет назад

    Already have, and it was in the video.

  • @WearTesters
    @WearTesters  11 лет назад

    @jazzman23fly if i critique something that doesnt mean i dislike it personally. This list is MY PERSONAL OPINION and feelings, NOT a review. Heel lockdown was lacking, not overall lockdown. Ventilation isnt something i need. Cushion is minimal and foam, i personally like it & stated it as a fact not as a negative attribute. Thanks for the sarcasm.

    Love the variety of brands. So many people just assume Nike or Jordan are the only good basketball shoes.
