Hey, what's going on guys? This is
0:09
and I just wanted to give you a follow
0:10
up on those code before carpet DM. Now,
0:13
I got this from Kick Who. Kick Who. All
0:15
right, Kick Who. So, basically, these
0:17
are an alternative pair, right?
0:20
Alternative, which means you know what
0:22
it means. I'm not going to get into the
0:23
details. Anyway, I've used this for
0:26
almost a year now, and I just wanted to
0:27
give you a follow up on them. So, first
0:30
thing I want to talk about is aesthetic.
0:32
Like the shoe aesthetic is incredible.
0:34
This was released originally in 2009 and
0:37
copy DM means like leave for the day.
0:40
Basically, make the most out of your
0:41
day. Love the aesthetic from the toe to
0:43
the back. So, what you have is pretty
0:44
much a shoe that's really aerodynamic.
0:47
Okay. Love this. I play basketball with
0:49
it. And I'm going to get to that in a
0:50
little bit, but for now, I just want to
0:52
talk about the aesthetic. So, front
0:53
side, you have some kind of a leather
0:55
material. Okay. On top, again, leather.
0:58
And it has like a snake skin component
1:01
to it. Midsection you have fly wire.
1:04
This is to keep your foot uh locked in
1:06
there. The fly wire was a new technology
1:08
that was invented by Nike. Then on the
1:10
back side you have the heel plates and
1:12
then more the leather material and this
1:15
is steamped in there. The 24 number is
1:17
stamped. Backside here you have some
1:19
textile component and then this is
1:21
pretty much repeated on the other side.
1:23
Now what I would say next is I'll talk
1:26
about comfort. Now, I used the Kobe Sixs
1:29
for almost like a year and a half. And
1:33
right off the bat, I'm going to tell you
1:34
like the sixes are much more comfortable
1:37
than the fours. It took me about 2 to 3
1:39
months to break this in cuz first time
1:41
when I wore them, it was just a little
1:43
bit uncomfortable, but with time I got
1:45
used to them. So, I end up like liking
1:48
them. So, this is what I've been using
1:49
again for the past like nine months. And
1:51
I absolutely love the shoe. Now, some of
1:53
the things that I'll mention is
1:54
ventilation. Ventilation is pretty
1:56
optimal on this shoe. Okay. You have
1:58
those holes here which do a great job.
2:00
And then you have your mesh material.
2:03
It's really like in the summer time when
2:05
I use this, I don't feel hot at all.
2:06
I've been playing pickle ball with them
2:08
for the most part now cuz I'm getting
2:09
older. So, I've kind of switched from
2:11
pick basketball to pickle ball and
2:13
they've done a great job. As far as like
2:15
the summer time when it's like 90, I
2:17
don't feel hot at all. So, my shoe on my
2:19
toe my toes do not sweat. I have socks
2:22
under a little bit dense, but I don't
2:24
have any problems with ventilation. So,
2:26
this is incredible for ventilation. Now,
2:28
we're going to talk about like comfort.
2:30
Comfort is pretty I would say I'll give
2:33
it about 8.5 or 9 out of 10 just because
2:36
I was wearing the Kobe 6s and the Kobe
2:38
6s are much more comfortable than this.
2:40
Again, these are from Kickhoo, which
2:42
means they're an alternative pair. You
2:44
know what I mean by that? All right, I'm
2:45
not going to get into the details, like
2:46
I said. Now, cushioning. Cushioning is
2:50
great. Okay. So, what you have here is
2:52
that final midsole inside of this uh
2:55
those are like zoom units. Now, he put
2:57
the turbo 2.0 3.0 in this one. So, this
3:01
is incredible. I didn't feel any hurt at
3:03
all. But again, compared to this the
3:05
Kobe 6s, the Kobe 6s is definitely an
3:08
upgrade, but this just does the job as
3:10
well. I loved it. Loved it. Loved it.
3:12
Loved it. Now, you have your carbon
3:14
fiber shank here. Again, that's for
3:15
torsional rigidity. So, the shoe does
3:17
not bend. So, I felt secure playing with
3:18
this. Absolutely secure. So I didn't
3:20
have any problem. And the flywware
3:22
honestly like I love low top shoes. The
3:25
fly wire keeps your your foot secure.
3:27
Now as far as like you know I would say
3:29
lock lock down lock down is great. I
3:31
didn't have any problem. I didn't feel
3:32
like I was scared or anything. I was
3:34
fine playing with them. So I liked it.
3:37
Now as far as like traction you can see
3:39
that I have no traction left in this.
3:42
You know the herring bone threads were
3:43
there when I started. So when you play
3:45
outside that's going to happen. This is
3:48
less than a year and this is gone
3:49
completely. And now I've played
3:51
basketball and pickle ball. Okay, so
3:53
pickle ball requires a lot of I say stop
3:55
and go. So you can see near the toe
3:58
area, this is what I use the most. This
3:59
is completely gone. I don't have any
4:01
more of that. So left. And on the heel
4:04
side also, you don't I don't have this
4:05
left. Now the threads here are pretty
4:07
much gone. So you really just skdding.
4:10
If you if you were playing, let's say
4:12
indoor, you wouldn't have this problem.
4:13
Indoor, you not have this problem. Okay?
4:15
You know how you're not going to have
4:16
this problem indoor with these shoes
4:18
here? You're not going to have that
4:20
problem at all. But outdoor, this is
4:22
bound to happen and it's bound to happen
4:25
Now, as far as like when I put it on, is
4:27
it easy to put on? Yes. Now, the tongue
4:29
does, you know, some tongs are
4:30
bothersome, but this one is not. Even
4:32
though it's pretty much like tied to
4:33
this, I didn't have any problem. Now,
4:35
the the ankle liner here is pretty
4:37
dense. Like, this is really cushiony.
4:39
They put a lot of foam in it. So, this
4:41
is great. Now, you see the socks that
4:44
that's bound to happen. hit the sock
4:45
force, but you can't avoid it. That's
4:47
going to happen with every shoe. Heel
4:49
plate on the back side intact. Now, here
4:52
you can see that there's a wear and tear
4:54
and durability. See, this is completely
4:56
coming off. That's because I've abused
4:57
these shoes. I wear them every day for
4:59
basketball and pickle ball. And I play
5:01
pickle ball twice a day in the summer
5:04
pretty much six, seven days a week. So,
5:07
you know, like this shoe definitely did
5:08
this job. And by retired, I'm probably
5:12
going to give it to somebody. But man,
5:13
I'm telling you, I absolutely love the
5:15
shoe. Now, as far as like fit, I'm a
5:17
size 13. Size 13 fit just right. Again,
5:20
you have a lot of wiggle room in there,
5:21
so your foot doesn't feel too contained
5:23
in a sense of is, you know, cuz
5:25
sometimes when you put a shoe on and
5:26
it's too tight, it hurts your foot and
5:27
you can't really perform. Now, as far as
5:30
like, you know, who should wear this?
5:31
Anybody that plays basketball at a high
5:34
level, you can wear this. This is
5:36
absolutely great. Okay, great ankle
5:37
protection. You're not going to roll
5:39
your ankle. Great stability, great
5:41
everything. So again, I got this from
5:43
Kiku. Again, this was a gift. So if you
5:46
want to grab one of these shoes, please
5:47
check the link in the description. But
5:49
if I had the option of picking up the
5:51
Kobe 6s or these, I would definitely go
5:54
for the Kobe 6. But this is again a
5:56
great option. Overall, my grade will be
5:58
8.5 out of 10. I absolutely love the
6:00
shoe for its aesthetic cuz functionality
6:03
is incredible. Now, if you want to pick
6:04
it up again, check the link in the
6:06
description, and I'll show you just what
6:07
it look like on feed in a second. All
6:09
right, again, thanks for watching. This
6:11
is D from Master Kicks and stay tuned
