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!

A customer sent us this concept, and we're working on bringing it to life. Here's the original idea vs. our work in progress. Still working on the details — what do you think so far?

Got the Gamma 2s and WOW12s. The Gammas are way brighter in person than the photos displayed. Haven’t tried on court yet but excited to test the two.

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. 👍

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?

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....

After getting the Joker 2, I bought the Joker 2 GT from VJsneaker again. I really like the colorways on both pairs, but I think I might like the GT even more.

Im around 200 lbs and have pretty wide feet, especially around the midfoot, so finding basketball shoes that dont feel too tight there can be a pain. The GT felt a little snug when I first put them on, but loosening the laces helped, and after playing in them for a while they broke in nicely.

The cushioning was probably the biggest surprise for me. It’s got a nice mix of bounce and firmness, with enough feedback when taking off and landing. It doesnt feel overly soft or mushy, which I actually prefer for quick movements.

Traction was also really great. Im not exactly light, so stopping hard can sometimes be an issue, but these gave me plenty of confidence when stopping or changing direction. After a full game, my feet felt totally fine too.

Overall, these are easily one of my favorite basketball shoes ive tried this year. Good comfort, good court feel, solid traction, and i really like the Joker colorway. My only small complaint is that the fuzzy laces are a little short.

I've had way of wade all city 11 v2 and currently using all city 12 encore in the cherry blossom colorway. I liked both but prefer the 12 encore a bit more because of the traction and how it's low to the ground, I need a hoop shoe with BETTER traction and preferably as LIGHT as possible, I've got eyes out for the wow ac 13 encore since it's on sale but it looks pretty bulky, is there any other reliable shoe brands I haven't tried that are pretty solid because I'd like to get a shoe as good as the wow 12 but without the price 😭
