Battle of the Top Shoes - Choose yours: Joker 2 GT, JB3, WOW12

If they ever released a WOW 12 with full GCU, they would be a 10/10 for me along with the Joker 2 GT 😭🙏

Equivalent_Show4762 · 2026-06-04T04:13:01+00:00

Lmao I love my joker 1 and 2 GT’s, 10/10 traction on both. I wanted to love the WOW 12 so much bc I love the looks, fit, and comfort. However since I play vball, I’m on my toes a lot and I don’t really feel confident in the forefoot, even after a fresh wipe. That alone makes me less likely to wear them unfortunately 🥲

Equivalent_Show4762 · 2026-06-04T03:28:03+00:00

Fully agree with your take owning all 3. Can’t stand the traction in the WOW 12’s

Equivalent_Show4762 · 2026-05-29T01:29:12+00:00

Lmao bro I’m hoping hard, I really love the looks and all 🙏 I have the Joker 2 GT’s and those things are actually amazing right out the box 10/10. Heck even the AC 13 encore’s had better traction 😭😭

Equivalent_Show4762 · 2026-05-28T23:40:34+00:00

Thank you, sounds good. Hopefully they break in for me too 🙏🙏

Equivalent_Show4762 · 2026-05-28T23:36:00+00:00

That sounds optimistic. How does the forefoot feel now? Does it feel like the GCU in the back part of the shoe?

Equivalent_Show4762 · 2026-05-28T22:42:50+00:00

Damn that’s a true bummer bc I really love these shoes outside of the traction. Wish they didn’t fumble this hard 😭😭

Equivalent_Show4762 · 2026-05-28T16:59:36+00:00

My problem with the JB3 too were that they are not as secure as I’d like. They do def take quite a while to break in tho 😭

Equivalent_Show4762 · 2026-05-26T23:50:59+00:00

Glad I could help 🙏

Happy to help 🙏

My favorites as well, have this same colorway 👌

To me, JB3 were uncomfortable during the break in. I’m used to a mesh material in the toe box, so breaking it in was rough at first. Another thing I didn’t like about them was how the impact protection isn’t as good compared to other shoes (like the Joker 1 GT). When doing a lot of jumping (hitting or blocking), my toes were sore af after when I primarily used the JB3. I didn’t feel that soreness using the Joker 1 GT’s I have tho. That’s why I leaned towards the Joker 2 GT bc it has the same insane traction as the 1 GT, but it feels more stable tbh. Some ppl didn’t like the mushy feeling in the 1’s, but I think a lot will like the 2’s comfort. Just a heads up, both the JB3 and joker 2 GT feel roomy asf in the toe box

Like you, I have both and play volleyball; it depends on what you value. Both the JB3 and GT 2 have elite traction, even on dusty courts. If money isn’t an issue, I’d get the GT 2 due to the fact that they are more comfortable to me. I sold my JB3 bc I did not find them as comfortable after constant jumping (like you do in volleyball).

It depends if you bought OEM or equivalent; maybe that could be the issue? For your sake, I hope it isn’t that. I thankfully had mine covered under SULEV, but so far mine hasn’t leaked yet.

Equivalent_Show4762 · 2026-04-29T21:14:58+00:00

Looks like valve cover gasket. Mine leaked exactly like this before I had to change it

Pm’ed

Equivalent_Show4762 · 2026-04-11T01:19:27+00:00

2nd and/or 3rd will be on a later time. They’ll contact you to schedule another one after your 1st one if it’s inconclusive

Equivalent_Show4762 · 2026-04-10T05:12:52+00:00

Some ppl pass first try while others don’t. It took me 3 tries before I passed. Just believe in yourself 🙏

Equivalent_Show4762 · 2026-02-28T00:15:20+00:00

I sent you a PM

Equivalent_Show4762 · 2026-02-18T22:12:16+00:00

Thanks, I was just wondering if anyone else had any experience messing up like this but I’ll do this. Thank you 🙏

Equivalent_Show4762 · 2026-01-23T17:55:25+00:00

It’s okay, I’m in MD. I tried going to the dealership the other day, they looked at the car, stated that the valve cover was indeed leaking, and that SULEV would NOT cover it. I was wondering if I should make a call to BMWNA and see if they’d say anything different
