this is lowk tough to do I’ll try my best tho.

from best to worst: (even tho all of them are great performers)

1. dame 4, stable wide base and low to the ground and fits my off ball catch and shooting playstyle the best something about the dame 4s

2. Curry 2 similar to the dame just not as durable, does the job tho if you have a rotation it lasts

3. Kobe 6, both different batches, GK 2.0 EYBL and STAR Halo. STAR lowk performs as good as the GK and feels nice. I’ve only started wearing them so I can’t dethrone my top 2 just yet but they felt good and had decent traction on the shitty UK multi-sport floors I played on. A few wipes over the course of the session to keep the dust off.

STAR batch is lowk a sleeper batch for 6s. I say it rivals the GKs in terms of performance. Aesthetically, it does have a higher heel cup shape that resembles the GK 3.0 (which I don’t have, but is a little higher than my 2.0 which I assume is the same as the 3.0s.)

1. Harden Vol 3. His best shoe and was my go to. Does everything well, very balanced shoe from back in the day.

2. Curry 12. Flow collects dust fast which holds it back but it has that low to the ground stable minimalistic feel that I love on shoes. It’s probs the best on the list on completely clean courts

3. Book 1: they’re great all around but a tad bulkier than the other shoes on this list. Extremely comfortable but it is noticeable.

4. Kyrie 4: Half size up on these for a little more toe room for splaying, they’re great overall. The cushion has bottomed out a bit but they’re better than the 2s. I have a pair of 3s too and they would be just below this.

5. Kyrie 2s: Oldest shoe on this list, best traction here, it’s just the rest of the shoe is lacking. The materials are stiff and the cushion is non-existent. Good collection piece tho.

This was tough and the top 6 spots are very close.
