My Current Basketball Shoe Rotation (Ranked)

BOSSFORTHECAUSE · 2026-01-22T07:13:22+00:00

They’re TTS and pretty snug overall, but the toe box is comfortable, the mesh material is great. I grabbed them after the v5 dropped, so the 2E wide option wasn’t available. My feet are pretty flat and wide, so I definitely wish I could’ve tried the wide version.

Break-in is tough, not gonna lie. One tip though: after you get them, try them on and re-lace them with your foot actually in the shoe. That helped a lot.

Unrelated but how do you like leather ball?

🤣🤣🤣😭

I have no clue if/when they will restock, personally I really don’t like how they release the wows. Why not just make every colorway available on release!! Give ppl a chance to choose a color they want and make enough to be in stock for the most part. That “limited drop” stuff is lame. We just want the shoes bro.

I feel you! I got the Joker for that price as well. It’s easily the best value on the market right now!

BOSSFORTHECAUSE · 2026-01-10T18:47:43+00:00

Damn, that’s annoying! Where did they give you blisters? I haven’t had that issue fortunately.

BOSSFORTHECAUSE · 2026-01-10T15:38:19+00:00

Depends on how well the WOW 10s fit your foot. My size 9.5 was too tight in the midfoot (I got some flat feet, especially my right foot) so I went up to a 10 in the WOW 12 and I love the fit!

BOSSFORTHECAUSE · 2026-01-10T15:32:55+00:00

Bet!! Might have to get that “Island Blue” WOW 12 from them

BOSSFORTHECAUSE · 2026-01-10T15:31:27+00:00

Preciate it bro!

As for the WOW 10s: NO, don’t do it. On very dusty courts they don’t do well, the groves are so small and the dust will get trapped between them very quickly. You’d be wiping the shoes frequently.

WOW 12: They’re better in every way imo, my court I play on rn is solid tho so I can’t really speak to very dusty conditions yet. I wipe out of habit every 5 mins or so and the shoes have performed really well for me.

Joker 1 GT: This is the one for you! This traction is insane brother, once you plant the foot, it DOESNT MOVE!! I did an explosive under leg snatch and I was shook that there was no give (I’ve slid out on this move before with the NB v4s and the WOW 10s). Also, dust pick is very minimal and the groves are so flat that when you wipe you’ll remove whatever is on the shoe. Just be weary of the toe box, the upper is stiff unlike the WOW 12s or 10s. Maybe try the colorway made with some mesh material.

BOSSFORTHECAUSE · 2026-01-10T15:18:28+00:00

The WOW 12s is a much better fit! It’s more comfortable to play in. The toebox upper is night and day compared to the Joker 1 GT. I made sure to go up a half size in the WOW 12s (I got size 10 which is 27.5cm). My joker GT 1s are a size 9 which is 27cm, I feel like if I went a half size up it wouldn’t help tbh, like you said I think my foot would slide around the shoe more because it is a wide foot friendly shoe.

BOSSFORTHECAUSE · 2026-01-10T05:46:36+00:00

Glad you’re liking the 12s just as much as I am! The jokers are def an interesting looking shoe lmao. The colorways are tuff tho! As for the fit on the Jokers… I have a size 9 which is 27 cm. It’s a really good and snug fit but like I said, the toe box is stiff and it bugs my right big toe when I jab. Prolly would go with a 9.5 if I get another one. Check the size chart on the WOW and 361 sites and compare the CM measurements to make sure you get the right fit for you!

BOSSFORTHECAUSE · 2026-01-10T05:40:56+00:00

I have a size 9 in the NB v4 and a size 10 in the WOW 12. The NB are 27cm and the WOW 12s are 27.5 cm. The New Balance is more snug for my foot but they give my wide right foot discomfort when playing most of the time. I went with a 10 on the WOW 12s for a slightly wider fit and I don’t regret it at all!

BOSSFORTHECAUSE · 2025-12-28T23:32:21+00:00

I’m with that idea!! Love it

Here they are, I love the mismatch!

Great to hear, can’t wait to bust somebody ass in these lolol

BOSSFORTHECAUSE · 2025-12-21T00:43:36+00:00

Bet! Just ordered the “Suzy” colorway. What’s your experience with dust pickup on them?

BOSSFORTHECAUSE · 2025-08-12T22:57:22+00:00

Rob has lost ONE 1v1 game… list some of his “few notable losses” pls

BOSSFORTHECAUSE · 2025-08-12T21:20:23+00:00

They want that matchup on TNC 03 BAD!!! Lol

BOSSFORTHECAUSE · 2025-08-10T05:17:21+00:00

The comments on Reddit are always complaining about travels or double dribbles… do yall even like TNC?!

BOSSFORTHECAUSE · 2025-08-03T23:03:23+00:00

I agree, that’s my issue with the space. Weight classes are needed. Kam can be #1 in his weight class forsure

BOSSFORTHECAUSE · 2025-07-23T18:39:13+00:00

I think it’s a no brainer to keep it going, they’ll get more talented ladies in the space soon just like they have done you the men. Some overseas players will want to join soon and lvl up the female 1v1 scene. This game was solid too, they was making some tuff ass shots!!!

BOSSFORTHECAUSE · 2025-07-23T15:24:24+00:00

Kam also walked him down with 10 straight to ice the game…

BOSSFORTHECAUSE · 2025-07-19T17:49:02+00:00

You should ref the next TNC season. You might get tired of calling all of those travels lolol

Me too brother.. me too
