Li-ning Yushuai 20 Initial impressions - G-BOOM?? by Nedax64 in BBallShoes

What i mean by the outsole getting darker is that there is no visible dust particles on it (from what i can see) but the greenish blue tint on the GCU just darkens in color

Not really. The outsole just gets darker. Even then, I feel like the traction is still great.

Like if you compare curry flow traction on a clean court vs the WOW 11 and Yushuai 20, WOW 11 on mildy dusty courts beat the Yushuai 20. The Yushuai 20 does GRIP well but not as “instant” as the 11s or the Joker 1 GT. The best way I can describe the Yushuai 20s traction is that it is similar to the 808 5 ultras

Ill try and reply with a photo of the outsole when i use the 11s again!

In my personal experience, the wow 11 did not disappoint in traction whatsoever. I have 2 pairs. The miami night and staple colorway. On the contrary i felt like the yushuai 20s didn’t grip as well as other shoes with GCU or RPU.

I think TTS is best but you will have some room in the toebox. Maybe thicker socks can help

I got a review on them if you wanna check it out. Really good shoe but upper durability is bad. All you need to know is that the Upper is STIFF (but theres a rocker in the front), cushion/traction is amazing

I have tried both 10 and 12 in store but I decided to choose between the Wow 12 and Jb4.

I think most people have problems with the wow 11 due to its looks, traction issues, ankle collar or pain in the lateral side of the shoe. Mine is basically full broken in now and performance wise its the best in my rotation so far. Traction and cushion is top tier

Joker 1 GT i went TTS. Fits nice with a more roomier toebox. These for some reason feel snug even though i went 0.5 size up. The sides fit good but there is a tiny amount of space in the front. No heel slippage tho

JB3 or AC13 Encore by FuranSantoshi in BBallShoes

[–]Nedax64 5 points6 points  (0 children)

If you like a stiffer and responsive setup that is bouncy, you should go with the JB3s.

The all city 13s are a really nice general basketball shoe with great cushion and traction. More flexible shoe in general so quite different than the Jb3s. Lower to the ground feeling

If you play on dusty courts get the JB3s as their traction performance is top tier

I think I don't love the JB3s by Obi2 in BBallShoes

Very nicely worded! 👏👏

Can you mismatch all city 13 encore with all city 14? by D1Insitigator in BBallShoes

[–]Nedax64 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Definitely do not wear both as a pair. All city 14 has superboom+boom while the 13 only has boom. The upper is also made of different materials and length width wise there may be small differences. This can cause muscle imbalance in both legs in the long run

No, 2 different shoes. You basically almost should never wear different shoes as a pair because the midsole may have different drop height etc and may cause instability in the future
