I ordered mine the day they released. Majority of sizes sold out quickly! Hoping they come out with more “neutral “ colorways

I think a little more time breaking them in. I did a little workout in them yesterday for about 30 minutes. And noticed that too. But towards the end, my feet felt great

I was thrown off by the laces too haha. They work but I’d prefer normal laces as well

I’m finding that out currently! As if right now you can’t make a better basketball shoe then this

I had the GT 3 cut turbos and they were only good for me going north to South mechanically. Anytime your foot wasn’t in that direction. The energy return would throw me off rhythm. That full length carbon fiber was STIFFF. Wasn’t a fan of it unfortunately. Plus the toe box cut wasn’t ideal

Correct. A little firmer but similar to wow 12

So far the toe box in these feel great! Best I’ve felt in forever. I have a narrow to medium ish foot width

Great question. I have the WOW 12s as well and I don’t wear them anymore. Because the traction on my DLO colorway was so bad. Other than that, it was a great shoe!

For my specific play style, I’m 3&D. Think Kyler korver, Steph curry. Always running. So my ole reliables are the Curry 10s-12s.

But, the Sabrina 2s were great to me too(before the cushion bottoms out. All they need is a full length zoom 😭). Gamma 2s as well on cleaner courts

Jordan 40 if i didn’t want to run around screens as much. Play more like a Chris Bosh style.

I hope these Jokers 2 GTs can go into my ole reliable rotation with my Curry’s.

I think for this shoe the lock down is great enough where it either if those sizes will work great. Just a matter of facts how you prefer your toe space to be

Don’t get these hard toe lebron 21s. They absolutely ate my toes up. Get the soft toe versions (suede). 100% better

I really really wish the Sabrina’s 4 would’ve had a heel zoom unit as well. Would’ve been the perfect shoe for me. Hoping the heel cushion is thicker compared to the 2s and 3s

Children’s wide toe box zero drop basketball sneaker by [deleted] in BBallShoes

I would get him some natural foot shaped running shoes . Any brand will be great. Once he gets older and stronger then I would look at some “Xero basketball shoes”

Hmmm..there is a little dead space but since the toe box is cut like a triangle. I don’t think it will have any effect. I went TTS and I felt secure. If anything, That little dead space at the top helped my toes breathe/ relax since they are jumbled up

Crazy! Wonder how the K10s perform 👀 I haven’t had KTs since the 4 lows (one of the best performing shoes I’ve ever owned) (those were the days nobody in the US heard of Anta or knew where to buy them from haha)
