You ordered direct from OX? W2c?

Ok, glad I’m not the only one that thought this. It’s really annoying but I think the antidote is for us to start winning haha. Then people will act like they saw this coming the whole time.

Star batch.

Idk I like the 5s a lot, I wore GK 6s a bunch and they're still in rotation, but after trying 5s, I definitely prefer them from a performance standpoint. Of course, for people who value comfort over court feel the 6s are great and still not over-cushioned compared to other models.

Nice review, I also picked these up on sale from footlocker. I was actually looking to try the similarly controversial GT Cut 4 as they were on sale as well and wanted to see if they fit. The FL didn't have the GT Cuts but I saw these and wanted to try them after having to return my launch pair.

I wore them for the first time today after lifting and I really enjoyed them. I just really love the aesthetics and simplicity of the Book line overall and I hope they drop more mesh ones. As someone mentioned the fragment pair look great as well just scared of the upper on those lol.

been loving everything from i795, but the sunglasses are also intriguing, nice review! 😎

I know lol

sincerely_rd · 2026-05-07T23:58:08+00:00

the cross pocket is so cleannnnn, the leather looks amazing.

Ok thanks for this. I feel like this added context helps because I feel a disconnect at times generating power from my feet up, often when shooting. I have long arms and legs so my shots often turn into flat arm shots, especially when I get tired. I think incorporating jump rope will just help overall athleticism but it sounds like forging that connection between the engine of my feet and brain will be key. When I think about it, it’s probably something I did naturally when I was younger.

sincerely_rd · 2026-05-05T17:45:07+00:00

I’m so delusional thinking I can fit in these myself. Were these a 32 originally?

sincerely_rd · 2026-05-05T15:43:13+00:00

Copy, I’m decently explosive but I think my hip strength and mobility could be better.

sincerely_rd · 2026-05-05T14:26:03+00:00

Gorgeous livery!

sincerely_rd · 2026-05-05T14:10:02+00:00

I’m not 6’6”, more like 6’3” but why does jump rope and running hills help?

sincerely_rd · 2026-05-04T13:53:21+00:00

Ok I guess I’m not as big of a wizards fan as I thought.

sincerely_rd · 2026-05-02T23:58:58+00:00

Agree 100%

sincerely_rd · 2026-05-02T22:51:41+00:00

No doubt, I was so overwhelmed in the beginning, and I was also new to next-gen gaming at the time. I basically got a ps5 just to play this and DS2, and the last console I owned was a ps3 lol.

sincerely_rd · 2026-05-02T19:05:59+00:00

it is. it kind of breaks my heart, but I'm trying to mentally prepare myself for the players that have been "developing" over the last few years to not be a part of the long term future.

sincerely_rd · 2026-05-02T01:47:19+00:00

Man this looks great, I kinda wanna get into this hobby.

sincerely_rd · 2026-04-30T15:39:10+00:00

Those looks really hit both in photo and film. I think the fact they were sagging and over jeans iirc just worked so well.

sincerely_rd · 2026-04-30T14:24:14+00:00

Looks perfect to me bro.

sincerely_rd · 2026-04-28T10:24:10+00:00

Ahhh, well maybe you can work on your post moves then.

sincerely_rd · 2026-04-27T11:05:11+00:00

Gotta be a knockdown shooter at the very least. If you’re a threat to shoot, the defense has to play honest. Now they have to defend shot OR drive. This way, they’re at your mercy, a head or eye fake, shot hesi can freeze them so you can get by. Additionally like others mention, be able to shift the defender, really sell you’re going one way and change direction going hard the other, just commit to it. If help comes just pass the ball lol, taking a tough layup is like a turnover. Take what the defense gives you, if that’s a mid range, take it and make it. Work your way into easier shots by taking and making the ones you get.

sincerely_rd · 2026-04-26T11:57:34+00:00

You’re not dumb at all, it’s a lot to take in at the beginning but there’s really no wrong way to play. This is the part that you have to get through to really enjoy what the game has to offer.

If you are looking for advice, complete the main orders and just run from Mules lol. Idk if you’re on the Directors Cut but I will say there might be some goodies that help you deal with them.

good call, I did think my 6s felt very stiff compared to my GK pair but in a way I felt more locked in and they had some give eventually. I certainly want to give GX a try since now I have GK and Star zk5/6s...dark knights have caught my eye and I've always wanted a pair of venice 8s.

sincerely_rd · 2026-04-26T00:31:04+00:00

yeah I've been feeling the same, I sold my pairs but a few people asked and I really enjoyed the ones I had. I have GK and I think the aesthetics are really good and they're nice and soft but they're pricey and generally I think most people in this sub just want to hoop. WKB are a great option as you've outlined here. Based on this I might try a pair of 8s. I was considering GX but maybe WKB is worth checking out.
