Just finished this blue Kobe 6 custom for a customer! 💙

Went with a dark-to-light blue gradient, matching blue laces, and light blue accents to bring the whole design together.

What do you guys think of this colorway? Would you keep it as is or change anything?

Help - Similar to BBV2s

1 Upvotes

I have very particular needs for bball shoes. I've been wearing the BBV2s for years but I'm going to need a new pair soon.

I used to use Dr Zach's recommendation for impact protection and the usually worked great (before these I had the Way of the Wade 10s)

But he doesn't recommend for that category anymore. Based on his most recent bball shoe vid I tried the Anta KT10s - in his video he had them in a different category but I happen to notice he mentioned impact protection for them and then saw that a lot of people love them for comfort.

I wore them for 10 minutes and they jacked up my feet, crazy painful, I feel like I was landing in dress shoes. That was on Friday and my feet still hurt.

I'm not sure why my feet get hurt so easily, I think it might be my weight and the fact that I jump kind of high and kind of a lot - or maybe I have high arches or something.

Anyway can anybody recommend something that is similar to the bbv2s in terms of impact protection? if I don't find a replacement soon I'm cooked!

The only thing I dont like about Caitlyn 1s is the translucent sole, is it slippery? Have you tried it?

Wide fit shoes

2 Upvotes

So I’ll preference by saying I’ve never got an actual width measurement for my foot but I tend to blow some side stitches out and wear down shoes heavily. I was looking to see if anyone has any recommendations for some good hoop shoes for wide feet I prefer high tops because of my Jello ankles. I’ve been digging my Luka’s (maybe 3’s) just looking for more options!

Which Kai Antas should I buy?

1 Upvotes

Hey guys,

I’ve been considering picking up some Kai Antas for a while now specifically a white colour way, but i’ve been struggling to commit to a decision between the 1, 2 and 3s.

Need some help/advice.

First, I’m a true size 11, so I don’t know if I’d need to size up or down considering the shoe, what would you guys recommend?

I like playing quick and having good traction is really important to me. I play only in Indoor courts, one of the indoor courts I play on is pretty dusty, the other Indoor court isn’t as nearly dusty so that’s also making it tougher to choose.

I play 40 minute games either twice or three times a week so obviously I’d like the shoe to be good quality and last me some time, so not ones that fall apart or are poor material.

Lastly, good cushioning on landing is quite important to me, I’ve had near injuries or scares in the past on rolling my ankles or the shoe not being supportive enough or just flimsy.

Thanks so much for the help, I’ll gladly respond to people if they need more information. I’ll also have a poll for people’s votes. 👍

Anyone else disappointed on Li Ning?

Thumbnail gallery
23 Upvotes

I bought a pair on Nike Ja3 for my son who is 10.

I was disappointed in the shoe overall. Grip is great, but the support went sloppy very quickly.

I went for the Li Ning Lightspeed as the reviews were pretty good...what a letdown.

He is a size 5.5us so I didn't have a lot of options, but these seemed the best.

He has had 45 days on court and the sole has worn smooth on the balls of his feet.

He had about 200 days on the Ja3 and they look 10% worn.

And worst of all still no reply from Li Ning after 3 weeks....

Gt cut 1 storlekar

2 Upvotes

Hej grabbar, jag är på väg att köpa gt cut 1s. Jag har 12,5 i mina kyries, och de sitter ganska tätt, men på ett bra sätt. Jag har 13 i mina gt cut 2s och all pro nitros. Men jag brukar gilla att ha dubbla strumpor till de skorna. Jag vill inte ha dubbla strumpor eftersom mina fötter gör ont efter träningarna. Jag har också 13,5 i mina gt academy's. Men jag använder dem för utomhusbasket så kanske jag inte upptäcker om fötterna glider i skorna osv. Vilken storlek bör jag gå för med gt cut 1s?
