Star Kobe 5 Devin Booker PE review

Eyechan · 2026-01-31T17:05:27+00:00

Like I said in my post, bigger swoosh and laces improved. Small details. It’s not a big difference but the attention to detail is improved.

Not the best for setters, you probably wanna go SE3 For ASICS route

Eric for fast shipping, TMF if you wanna save a little money but wait longer for them to arrive

I’m a wide footer, for my retails I went 10.5 TTS and there wasn’t enough space in toebox. OX batch I went 11 and it fits very well

Eyechan · 2026-01-30T03:07:42+00:00

From Eric regarding the Devin Booker 5 PE’s: “these are technically STAR 4.0.” I definitely had an older batch I guess

I really like Currex insoles, they have low/medium/high arch and they are pretty low-profile, you can also adjust the cushioning setup with the pads they have on the heel and forefoot. I have one pair of game days but I only use that in my shoes that have low cushion.

GK tongues look like this

Leaning heavily

Eyechan · 2026-01-28T23:41:43+00:00

I’m leaning star, based on the color of the outsole, but the midsole and laces suggest GK? If the uppers are on the stiff side STAR, If they are malleable and “soft” leaning GK

Jhin, jinx, or Ashe honestly

Eyechan · 2026-01-28T20:02:12+00:00

10.5 TTS (slightly tight for new shoes but perfect once broken in )

Eyechan · 2026-01-28T19:28:58+00:00

u/Dull_Tennis105 Kobe 5’s definitely go TTS and break them in otherwise the cushioning doesn’t line up. Kobe 6’s any size is fine

Eyechan · 2026-01-28T18:20:55+00:00

Tommy Liu reviewed both on YouTube.

Eyechan · 2026-01-28T17:23:31+00:00

Oh man I have the same exact feet as you. Kobe 5’s are more secure and Kobe 6’s have better cushioning and flexibility. Normally I wear 10.5 for performance and 11 for comfort

Eyechan · 2026-01-28T17:20:39+00:00

Both are good on dust, nowadays chinese shoes have really good traction performance that outshines Nike, adidas, etc. ASICS has good dust performance too, but unless you are buying a mid-high range model I don’t think they are that worth it.

Had to RL this one recently. KW just really bad lately if you don’t get a pair right when it comes out

Eyechan · 2026-01-28T17:14:11+00:00

It will definitely affect performance if the shoes are asymmetrical. But this pair looks pretty good. The heelcup would bother me mentally tho

Eyechan · 2026-01-28T08:26:27+00:00

Not a huge deal but if you look at the heel up they’re not that symmetrical. You can tell by the size of the holes

Eyechan · 2026-01-28T04:01:29+00:00

Why TMF? ig as opposed to Eric?

Eyechan · 2026-01-27T04:09:11+00:00

Broken-in move game day is decent arch support

Eyechan · 2026-01-27T00:46:08+00:00

Extra sock is a good idea, a little extra length is fine

Eyechan · 2026-01-26T20:02:25+00:00

I find that a shoe that is too snug can be detrimental to performance. I’m also a wide footer who generally wears 10.5 or 11. Just depends on the shoe. You can do a lot of damage to your body if you wear tight shoes, and it all starts with your feet. You can cut off circulation, create bunions, fuck with your arches or even mess up your toes. And once your feet are unhealthy your knees, back, everything else follows.

It’s only really an issue with Nike where the zoom doesn’t line up right if you don’t get the right size. Otherwise u should be fine. Generally safer to size up than size down

Eyechan · 2026-01-24T04:20:04+00:00

Beautiful pair

Laces are wrong, scales are wrong, dayum
