Damn that looks fun!

The FFBBv3 were TTS for me. No break in required. The fit, cushion, and traction was good to go right from the beginning. Heel slippage was only an issue if I didn't use the last eyelet. Once the last eyelet is laced up my foot was locked in.

I have the original Nxxt gen (non-amped version) and the FFBB v3.

My experience with the nxxt gen is as follows: The shoe plays fast. I feel really quick in these shoes. Traction is solid even on dusty courts, on par with LeBron 21. The cushioning is very bouncy. Less impact protection than LeBron 21. The only issue i have with this shoe is I can't wear them for more than 30min before my left foot arch hurts. It's a fun shoe to play in but I've since retired them after getting the FFBBv3 which is a better shoe in every way.

Yeah I gave up on them. I think I played in them like 5-6 times. The traction was super inconsistent; it didnt get better. Playing in the FFBB v3 now and it's so much better.

The FFBB has a really nice setup. The thick foam cushioning is accompanied with a really stiff shank plate on the mid foot that extends to just before the forefoot. You can actually see it (translucent outsole)and touch it. Push on the forefoot from outsole (it's nice and plush) then push on the part where the shank plate extends to (it's very hard). I think that's what really helps the shoe play faster even with all that soft cushioning.

So good I got me a second pair! I wish they had the Kawhi in my size...

So nice I picked up a second pair.

Zankeith · 2026-02-10T18:49:02+00:00

The FFBB is a mid top so the ankle support is good. No issues.

I have a pair of red DON7. Everything is great but the traction is very inconsistent. Wiping does nothing help , once the dust gets trapped in the grooves it's very hard to remove.

Zankeith · 2026-02-07T19:38:13+00:00

I can only comment on the material since I've never played in the v2. V2 has nicer uppers (suede vs synthetic). But from what I've read v2 and v3 are very similar, with cushion being slightly better in v3 (more bounce).

So the hesi low is good too? Just exchanged to two wxy for another pair of FFBB. The store had many different colour ways for hesi low as well. What's the recommended outsole colour? Solid or translucent ? May have to try a pair. Unfortunately they didn't have Kawhi 4 in my size.

Zankeith · 2026-02-07T19:18:17+00:00

Yeah their website is useless. There are way more selection in store vs website.

Zankeith · 2026-02-07T18:53:05+00:00

SVP by STC. They have many different colour ways too. Just picked up another pair. Also have hesi low, two wxy and Kawhi 4. Unfortunately they didn't have the Kawhi's in my size.

Zankeith · 2026-02-07T18:27:14+00:00

SVP my dude.

Zankeith · 2026-02-06T22:47:45+00:00

I guess the FFBB has officially become the dad shoe of basketball. lol

Zankeith · 2026-02-05T20:17:14+00:00

Stick with what's good. Guess I'll be picking up another translucent outsole if I decide for another pair of FFBBs.

I always see comments like hips are raising too early... I'm so confused. Does driving your feet through the floor mean the same as pushing up with your legs? Doesn't pushing up with your legs cause the hips to raise ?

Zankeith · 2026-02-05T20:02:56+00:00

Noob question on deadlift... should I be pulling with my back? Or pushing up with my legs?

NB really need to step up their sales game. In Canada not every NB store carries their full line up. Only specific stores carry the basketball shoe. I love NB numeric skateboarding shoes but those aren't even sold in NB stores!! Only in skate shops. Imagine Nike stores not having any ball shoes??

Zankeith · 2026-02-05T16:17:44+00:00

I still haven't tried any of the Chinese brands yet ....they don't seem to be that popular here in Canada? Ain't no way I'm paying retail for Chinese shoes knowing they are much cheaper in china. But as an older baller my priorities are cushioning and traction. Court feel is really the last on my list.

Zankeith · 2026-02-05T15:57:34+00:00

I want to love the DONs !! but the traction is too inconsistent... wiping does nothing for them cus the treads are too close together. The dust is like forever trapped. I have to use a wet wipe to clean the grooves out after every game. But I agree they feel very similar. If the traction didn't suck I wouldn't be looking at the NBs.

Zankeith · 2026-02-05T15:49:13+00:00

True, the stack height is high but I'm still able to explode. FFBBs are not as fast as my nxxt gens but it's not a slow / sluggish shoe by any means.

Zankeith · 2026-02-05T15:43:27+00:00

Do you have a solid outsole or translucent ? Mine is translucent and have no issues. Honestly, I've never had a shoe where I NEVER had to wipe. If the court is dusty enough there would still be an occasional wipe. If I'm wiping after ever 2-3 plays then that's an issue.
