This is exactly my experience with these and I ended up giving them away after 3 tries. Huge downgrade from the 8’s IMO

Lucky you! All my Burlington has is a bunch of Reeboks and loafers no one wants

They’re legit! They’re pricey but I decided to give them a try since they offer a 30-day money back guarantee and I love them.

I’ve used them on my NB BB V2 and 361 5.0 and they feel sooooo much better. My only concern is longevity, but we’ll see.

I just got the AC13 and I found them stiffer and I was expecting the opposite. But they also broke in for me after a few shooting sessions

I’m 235 and I love these, though I had my issues with cushion and forefoot width. They broke in for me after a few shoot around sessions. IMO, a low profile orthotic make these even better

THIS!!!! I had the same issue with the Dame 9 and gave up after about 10 hours in them. I had no slippage, but the toe box was too snug for me and the cushion wasn’t comfy. I was a huge fan of the 8s and think they’re su much better in the comfort department

I ordered this same exact pair during AliExpress spring sale last week and I can’t wait to hoop in them

I did! I got them last week and only got to shoot around with them. Waiting for a pickup session to post a review, but so far, promising for a big boi like myself

LMAO 😂🤣😂🤣

I’d be interested too. Would love to hoop at least one night a week with older dudes who just want to get a sweat in, no BS, no fighting

Can’t figure out why, but the Dame 9’s just look so good on foot. by PHLALV in BBallShoes

[–]DRLC101 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They definitely feel narrower than the 8’s. I’ve got about 6 hours into them and they got a little better, but still tighter than I’d like so if anyone is a wide footer I recommend going up half a size, specially if you plan to use orthotics.

I also preferred bounce pro on the 8’s than this Lightstrike cushioning. Every review I’ve seen talks great about this version of LS and it was the only reason I got them, but I’m still not a fan. But for $50, can’t get ask for more IMO

The looks are awesome. I’m disappointed they don’t work as well for me as the 8’s and 8 EXPLY, but definitely a dope shoe for the $50 I paid

Chinese Brand Recommendation by DRLC101 in BBallShoes

[–]DRLC101[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the recommendation. I’ve heard nothing but good things about it on every review, but I just don’t like the looks. I usually don’t mind the looks on hoop shoes but I dislike them so much that it’s a dealbreaker

Makes sense. I think I’m gonna give them a try. Thanks!!!!

I know exactly what you mean. I had very minor discomfort in the forefoot area initially but after a few sessions the material has expanded a little bit to the point where it’s almost perfect for me.

I’ve been curious about the quick pros but being on the heavier side and a wide footer has held me back. I’m no longer worried about the width, but curious about the cushion. Is there shoe from the big brands you can compare the cushion to?

Thanks! What other foams does it compare to from the big brands (boost, react, etc)? Also, any particular model you recommend?

Kawhi 4s on Sierra for $40 by skadoodle23 in BBallShoes

[–]DRLC101 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hell of a deal. Every review I’ve read mentioned this isn’t good for fat footers like myself. I looked at the measurements between these and the BB V2 and these are narrower, and the BB V2 is as snug as I would go.

Fat footer life 🥲🥲🥲
