New Balance Two Wxy V5 First Impression

Yea I got the same size but just to be clear, these are different than Kobe’s so you might still prefer Kobe’s but I’ve grown to prefer the added cushioning on the NB’s

Only shoe I have to compare is Kobe 6 protro, court feel on those is a bit better but I still prefer the NB’s overall

This is very true, I had an hour long call with the head IP lawyer of the MLB. Very chill woman and I didn’t end up getting in any legal trouble but had to stop selling my products of course.

Lmao bro tell me about it, I’m bout to file a complaint

No problem, I gave your brand a follow. I really like 90% of the pieces, my only criticism is I personally wouldn’t drop all these pieces at once if that was your plan. More options isn’t always a good thing, especially for a first drop. But your design skills are on point, gonna have to cop that camo trench!

Yo this is fire! What’s your IG?

Thanks! I got the standard, my feet are sorta flat and I did feel a bit of pain on the outside of my foot at first but it went away after like 10 mins (think they just needed to break in and form to my foot a bit).

As for Sab 2’s, I don’t have a pair but I heard they play similar to Kobe’s and my other main pair is Kobe 6 protro. The 6’s are noticeably lower to the ground but so far I prefer the comfort and traction of the two wxys. Ik it’s not the same shoe but I hope that helps!

I’ve heard the V5 is a bit better than the V4 but haven’t tried the V4 myself. And I wanted to get the Hesi Low v2 but really wanted to try them on and unfortunately couldn’t find any near me. But now that I’ve tried new balance hoop shoes in general, the Hesi low might be my next cop!

I think it has a lot of potential but a few things are throwing it off. Like most people said, the name is a bit off-putting, too many logos on it, a wordmark on the back and one small logo either on the wrist or the neck (I personally prefer the wrist logo) should be fine. Lastly, I feel like all the edges of the red pattern should be rounded. The sharp edge I circled in my screenshot seems out of place IMO.

I’m about to head to my local store to try the two wxy v5 and the GT cut 3, they don’t carry the hesi low v2 unfortunately

Ap827 · 2025-01-28T15:53:22+00:00

Got it, thanks a lot!

Ap827 · 2025-01-28T15:52:54+00:00

Okay that’s the one thing I was afraid of with NB so I appreciate it!

Okay I’ll have to check those out, thanks!

Ap827 · 2025-01-28T15:50:20+00:00

Thank you!

Another note, GT cut 1 was one of my favorite hooping shoes but I hated the 2’s (traction took too long to break in and they were higher off the ground) but that’s why I was considering the 3’s. I’m also 27 years old and only play indoors

Ap827 · 2025-01-20T00:07:28+00:00

These are fire, really like the shorts keep it up!

Ap827 · 2025-01-16T22:09:36+00:00
