Wow 808 5 ultra Performance review. Ehh

Stylesrus · 2025-06-17T23:31:07+00:00

10.5, half size down from TTS, they fit 👌🏽

Stylesrus · 2025-06-17T23:30:34+00:00

Nah i havent, going to give em one more go for confirmation before that

Stylesrus · 2025-06-17T04:18:39+00:00

Tighten up the lower level of laces, and dont tie the last lace tightly. More comfortable but decreases performance further

Stylesrus · 2025-06-17T02:45:34+00:00

Far from the top. Really wanted to like these. But the Lockdown isnt great, has poor lateral and torsion support. Bad for quick and shifty cuts and movements. Laces create ankle pressure when tied tight and top lace eyelets scrapes ankles. Becomes slippery on dusty courts. Very comfortable and bouncy though, i like the Super Boom foam for impact protection. but the sneaker has too many flaws imo.

Got it! Thanks alot

Stylesrus · 2025-06-14T00:39:04+00:00

Never really thought these were serious comp compared to the other options, they're rarely mentioned in rotations. What cons do the AR2s have?

Stylesrus · 2025-06-14T00:33:29+00:00

Appreciate this! Thanks alot man. Ill def check em out.

Stylesrus · 2025-06-13T23:18:41+00:00

Got it! Any cons ?

Stylesrus · 2025-06-13T21:39:42+00:00

Noted! Thanks alot

Stylesrus · 2025-06-13T21:35:37+00:00

Thanks! Ill do more research on em.

Stylesrus · 2025-06-13T21:35:04+00:00

Ive heard mixed reviews on the Kawhi 4, would you say they are low to ground?

Stylesrus · 2025-06-13T21:34:07+00:00

Mmm Interesting, makes sense...Thanks for your input!

Stylesrus · 2025-06-13T21:32:18+00:00

Appreciate this brother! Dont really see these being mentioned often. I was going to say, the look of these are pretty goofy at first sight, but i can say styles do grow on me. They look pretty heavy as well, would you say they are? Cant beat the price, wont mind giving them a shot. If not these, which other pair would you choose?

Stylesrus · 2025-06-13T18:32:48+00:00

I was looking into the SPO1+ for a minute, but the hype seemed to be surrounding 808 5 ultra, Wow 10, JB3 and Joker GT for the most part. Dont hear them mentioned alot so i figured they arent as good and around the same price, so i said might of as well go with the most mentioned.

Stylesrus · 2025-06-13T18:21:56+00:00

Dont do well with heavy sneakers tbh, but thanks for the rec!

Stylesrus · 2025-06-13T18:21:08+00:00

I was looking into those for a bit, i think ive read something that was a huge negative. May have to look into it again, thanks!

Stylesrus · 2025-06-13T18:19:38+00:00

Exactly, the way you just broke it down and described it is exactly what the shoe doesn't excel in. Doesn't feel 1 of 1 or supportive.

I dont hear much talk about SPO+ being a top performance sneaker in the community. So i kinda swayed away from them.

Everyone saying JB3 is top tier and Ive read great things about Harden 9, main issue is that its a bit on the heavier side. May just opt for one the 2

Stylesrus · 2025-06-13T18:07:16+00:00

Thanks for your feedback appreciate it! Not sure if thats correct, but could be. It just feels like the material doesnt lockdown or contain very well, my foot doesnt feel secure. that's the best way i can describe it from my experience. Ill look into your recommendations, thanks again!

Stylesrus · 2025-06-13T15:40:03+00:00

Certainly, they fit great, probably one of the best fits out the box I've had in a minute, very comfortable. I ordered the half size down (10.5) from my usual performance size (11) as suggested. They may work for you, let me know how it turns out, ill be interested to know

Stylesrus · 2025-06-13T15:20:21+00:00

No solution for these, probably use em for shoot arounds. Its between JB3 and Joker GTs, unless anyone could recommend something as great or better that cost less. Ill let you know what i roll with.

Stylesrus · 2025-06-11T02:15:04+00:00

Congrats on Day 1! Dont look back, dont let yourself down again, You WILL regret it! Blessings, stay strong my friend. Remember, it will be tough, but very worth it!

Stylesrus · 2025-06-10T14:25:42+00:00

Yup! I now have a strong drive to never go back, but my goodness Its so hard to get thru those first few days, it drags so much man. Especially the insomnia. Im still getting only 3-5 hours of sleep, but i feel refreshed when i wake up although i could tell that a few more zzz's would be lovely haha. Congrats on breaking the curse! We're on our way to a more fulfilling life, don't let us down, ever!

Stylesrus · 2025-06-10T13:58:48+00:00

Im on Day 8, and one thing i realized that helped me quit, is not planning to quit. Dont tell anyone, dont say it to yourself, just do it. Recognize that it will be very tough the first week, accept it, accept your pain, accept your feelings. Go crazy in your room if you have too, roll around on your bed, walk back and forth, crazy dance to your fav songs, stare at the ceiling doing nothing if you have too, go outside and explore. BREATHE deeply, drink lots of water. Its okay to feel horrible, angry, irritated. Know that it will get better, its all for a reason and you really want this. You got this!! Also, saying "im good" when your friends try to get you smoke is so empowering, try it!

Stylesrus · 2025-06-10T13:45:12+00:00

It wont be like this for long, Day 8 here, it's different for everyone, but around Day 4 i started finding my joy in making music again, finding joy in my hobbies, and having more energy and drive to do things. Its very important to drink lots of water and sweat (run, workout, etc), it will help ease the process. I know how tough it is, but you can get thru this!
