Much love for you and your fam for 2013, have a good one bro
nightwing2303 can you do a performance review on the nike hyperchaos? thanks a lot! more power to you guys!
Love this site. Just curious-is this affiliated with “SLAM”? Thanks.
Great Reviews. Cannot stop watching all of them. Keep it up.
Appreciate it!
I have watched all your reviews. I love seeing people who love shoes as much as me.
Thanks.
Your reviews are very professionally done. Great information you provide in a very concise format. Keep them coming. Awesome job!
Thank you!
Will you ever do a top 10 performance shoes video or maybe section in your website?
Great Reviews!!! Keep it up!!!!
I did a top 5 performance shoe video for 2011 and will do the same this year as well.
Your bringing a breath of fresh air into the sneaker game with getting into the kicks on a deeper level past all the hype and I know we all appreciate that. Just continue being you and we will continue to support the grind.
Thank you
Awesome reviews! Keep it up. Today at Footlocker the sales person encouraged me to buy Court Grip. He stood by his product saying it was selling like hot cakes. I told him, the product is not fooling anybody, you better check your ass to see nightwing2303 on YouTube..
Maybe Footlocker can use you as sneaker products class 101?
Hahahahaha
do a video on the diamond turf 2s
I dont like them and they arent a basketball shoe.
where do you get the shoes?
do you get them for a discount
I have a job and i buy them.
Thanks to you I bought the Fly Wade 2s (my old Hyperize snapped at one lacehole). I have got to say thanks to you for that review – I’ve worn them half a dozen times now and they are the best performing shoes I’ve ever had.
Keep it up – you’re my first port of call now to see if you’ve covered a shoe I am considering.
Awesome, glad you enjoy them!
great website and vids
u put ur shoes to a beating
Thanks, they def take a beating lol.
I really love your reviews. My knowledge over sneakers has greatly improved. I started to learn about the little things that make a shoe great. Thank you for that! Keep up the good work.
Appreciate it
I really appreciate your time and hard work in creating your performance reviews. They provide a basketball player with the performance features and options in purchasing the right shoe for the individual. Many thanks and all the very best to you.
Thanks, greatly appreciate that!
Hey bro…do u work in the shoe industry? We appreciate ur reviews on the kick culture!!!
Thanks! I work alone and not with any company.
I just saw your youtube channel back in 2 months ago and i feel you doing a great job to review all those shoes from different perspective and the most important you review them as their function and performance not just basicly looks, material, or prices range , etc.
by the way i live in china these days and i can help you get the shoes that didn’t release in US. maybe if u need me u contact me right away and assure you the shoes is not counterfeit, fake, high quality fake,etc. just want to give you a hand
Thank you, appreciate the support!
hey, you got some nice reviews. I was wondering, take price out of the equation. Would you prefer the melo m8, howard 2′s, or another bball shoe? performance wise.
Howard 2s
love the vids man appreciate a man showing his passion for his shoes
Thanks
Great reviews! It helped me decide which basketball shoes to buy. Thanks and more power to your site.
BTW, how tall are you?
Thanks, glad i could help. Im 5’7″
Thanks, for the reply, i will be buying the howard 2′s for summer court. You have great videos, proubly the best shoe review and information videos on youtube.
Thanks!
what rec do u play at?
I dont play in a league right now, just pickup games.
This is my No.1 sneakers site, i view this site every single day. Now i have Jordan 16.5, 2010 team and just ordered 2011 q-flight.
My questions is i cannot find any review on 16.5, do you have any comments on that? I got those in really low price. thanks, keep it up man!!
Thanks, appreciate the support. On my YT channel i have a very old video on the 16.5s performance.
hey man, what do you think is a good shoe that is best in absorbing heel strikes
any suggestions?
Li-Ning Turningpoint
r u gonna review the crazy light 2?
Yes
Hey, I tried to order AdiZero Rose 2 online, but finishline.com does not have it now. Do you have any other websites that i can order some shoes other than e-bay. thanks
what size
Keep doing your thing NightWing, keep us informed about the DRose3s they’re looking pretty dope.
Hey Nightwing
Which is a better performer: Nike Zoom Huarache 2k4 or Nike Zoom KD 4?
Also, is Nike Dunk a good performer? I just got one that is full leather but with pretty thick mesh layers on the side walls.. It’s regular Dunks though, no zoom or whatsoever..
The dunk will play like the AJ1. For the others just check the reviews and compare.
Thanks
what knee pad do you recomend and where can i get it?
Hey Nightwing,
wanted to get a pair of Lebron 9 elites for a while but was pretty busy lately. Have been wondering is there any stores where i could directly just buy them from. Footlocker, Finishline, champs, etc… Or do I have to order it online from one of their websites.
Thank You!
Depends on your location, just call the stores to find out.
Thanks man, hoping to get them soon
Ever since I first saw one of your videos on the AJ 2012 I watched more and more go your vids and thoroughly enjoyed them all. I play basketball at my high school in MN and always wait for your reviews on shoes before I make my purchase. I also loved the performance sock video as well. this year I went with the Lunar Hyperdunks after seeing your opinion on the teaser. I really appreciate all your work you do for the actual player in mind! Thanks
hey nice videos… just want to ask which are better shoes for a quick point guard. the kobe 7s or the jordan 2012?
You would know if you watched or read the review.
Hey I love your videos I just wanted to ask are you going to review the Jordan Wade D’Reigns and Do you if Jordan will come out with a Fly Wade 3
Hey Nightwing, I’m a bit curious on what your job is and how you’re able to balance work and working on your site.
Stumbled onto your videos and just wanted to say thank you for all you do! I am much more informed on the choices out there and ended up getting the Fly Wade 2′s based on your review — which are amazing for me.
Your “Court Grip” review was invaluable also!
Outstanding quality!
How often do you play every week? Also i need a good outdoor shoe. Thanks for the reviews.
I watch all of you videos nightwing2303. Your videos were one of the major reasons I got into basketball back in 2010. Since than I became a sneakerhead thanks to your inspiration. I can’t thank you enough.
Keep up the good work bro! I use to go to http://www.shoetrends.com back in the days before they just stopped doing reviews, im thinking that what it use to be called, but yeah man, a fan of the page and like what your doing man! Mad Props!
Your responses are classic. Exactly how I would respond. Does anybody take the time to read a review or watch a video anymore? (or even pay for their own shoes..what a concept) Like I said…I have followed your videos and reviews since your inception and on any matter you give the most detailed inforative reviews with a plethora of content. As owner of 20 pairs of current shoes (for basketball…as this is not 1988 and basketball shoes are not a fashion accessory anymore:) Probably have owned 50+ in my life on courts. Your insight is great either negative or positive about the product in question and cover all bases without corporate influences. (No, I am not a lawyer:) You are a credit to your passion and I get mocked (by friends and fellow players) for my interest in the perfect bball shoe. (the holy grail) Ok…this is a bit long and kiss ass…but Great Stuff! I appreciate it. Lebron Xs are in my future…hopefully the Elite will have a wider more stable base and 10 out of 10 Keep on Ballin…you provide a great service
-Thanx again
Hey Nightwing,
Nice video on the lebron x. You put on an impressive show at the end. One thing; as of now the two color ways coming up look decent for the lebron X. But i prefer a less flashy color way. Do you have any info or websites i can look at to see if there are any color ways coming at us soon that are not a limited release. Keep doing your thing man!
Thanks..
Hey man, like your videos! Respect!
Please keep up the good work. The enthusiasm, detail, and objective perspective is second to none. Only information I feel you can add is state your weight, height, and shoe size somewhere for viewers to use as reference. Much appreciated.
Appreciate it. Im 5’7″ 150lbs sz 9.
Great videos bro, don’t think you have much competition to be honest. You put a great amount of detail into your reviews. Also your shoot around at the end of each video is a nice way to put icing on the cake. I could see you have a true passion for this field in basketball shoes. Just one question. When is the “pressure Lebron x color way coming out? KEEP UP THE GOOD STUFF.. thx
Thanks, appreciate the support. Not sure what colorway you are asking about though. Jade? Those release November I think. I dont know of any other ‘special’ colorways other than the Dunkman.
I see, forgive me, I was thinking about the black and red color way (not sure what its called) which I believe is the away color for the Heat. The Dunkman and Jades look nice but the only problem might be getting them since they are limited releases. I would be fine on just getting my hands on a pair of the Lebrons as easy as possible. Sorry for the trouble and thx for the help. Oh and my support is with you as long as you keep doing your thing man! Looking forward to the start of the NBA season!!!
keep up the great work bro
I love the game of basketball and now that I’m in my mid 30′s I can’t afford to buy all the shoes that seem to perform well on the court (with kids slashing our budget). Thanks to your reviews I made great decisions and great buys on great performing shoes. Keep doing what you’re doing. Your passion inspires us to keep playing. Happy Holidays!
Hey Nightwing, did you ever play basketball in high school?
Hey Nightwing, in the Lebron X shoe review, what size were you wearing?
What are some good websites to order shoes online?
I just happened to “bump” into your channel a few days ago and I really instantly liked it. You are doing a great job, keep it up!
Thanks for your “work” on the performance reviews. The 2012 “best of” vid was really helpful… any chance you have a list of sites for best prices/selection on shoes?
Hey man, I just wanted you to know that your work is truly appreciated and I am extremely glad that I found your site that I have now been on for 3 hours straight!
Also, should i get the melo m8′s or the cp3 vi’s?
Can you help me please I need to have what is the best shoes for high jump???? plz help me
please could you do a review and a test for apl concept 2 please????
Two grammar mistakes in the first line, buddy.
You actually change my decisions in buying shoes. But my friends don’t like to buy Rose 3 coz it’s ugly. So I choose KD V instead. But I tell ya, KD V is truly a top 6 in your opinion. You suck
what are the best shoes for high jump??????and congratulations for your great work review
Agree your reviews are the best. You get straight to the point. I can’t even watch other reviews. Excited to hear shoe companies are you hooking you up. I can’t wait for the Air Jordan XX8 review. Keep up the good work.
I love what you do i love your reviews and everything this is pretty awesome how you run your own website and its big, but would kickgenius have anyhing to do with this??
What do you mean?
Sir Nightwing..i just want to ask a question: if which of the two kicks would you prefer to use or buy to be used in basketball again if you had previous ankle injury before..and that was my case.. the Jordan CP3 6 or the Addizero D.rose 3.5?
The love for the game is always there..and cant resist some old friends to play again..and a league on our country sooner or later starts.. Thak you so much Sir Nightwing.
I love all your reviews!
I pick my kicks pretty much based on all your reviews.
So i came across this question.
I like how you have ranking for the sneakers each year…but I am now struggling between getting the M9(I want the BHM colorway but its all out already for my size, might go with the black/pink one) and getting the LBJX(Volt/grey thats coming out later this month). I can see that M9 is having a pretty high ranking in 2013, and as I remember, LBJX is also having a pretty decent ranking in 2012.
I tried both and i like them both, but can only choose one.
Ankle support is one of my major concern now after I sprained it once (I will wear ankle brace with them no matter which one I choose).
So I am just wondering if you can give me some opinion on which one to choose…
Thanks a lot
Melos have better stability.
Hey NightWing what site do you preorder your shoes at?
Really like the reviews, you have great knowledge on all of the sneakers you review. I am wondering though which is the better overall shoe the melo m9 or the cp3 6? Thanks!
are planing to do a review on the rose 3.5, crazy fast, and the howard light, thanks for all the reviews you do they are really helpful, Keep up the good work.
how long did the lunarlon foam last in the kobe’s or the hyperdunk 2012s ???
greetings from a fellow sneakerhead in Greece !
many thanks and a lot of respect on all the hard work and time you spend to do what you do.there is a different kind of question i’d like to ask:
which city you live in?
what’s the temperature variations throughout the year?
the outdoor courts are all like the one in your performance vids?
and finally what’s the story about the indoor courts,again like the one at the beginning of your vids,there are enough of them for people who want to play even if they are not part of a team?
hope you don’t judge my curosity too hard, i am only interested in the games’conditions in the US.
should you not find the time to answer or find all the above a little weird,that’s ok, i understand.
looking forward to your reviews, keep up the good work!
Hey Nightwing!!
!!
I just wanted to tell you that I am a HUGE fan of your work. Even though 90% of the sneakers and products you review don’t hit retailers here in India, your reviews have really helped me and my friends with a couple of purchases. I make it a point to tell any baller I meet to check your site out before buying a particular shoe or product. Hats off to you sir
Cheers.
To: Nightwing2303
I know you won’t do a review to this but a lot people say that they’re nice and really comfortable, and others say they’re bad cause they’re uncomfortable, they’re the Nike Air Visi Pro III NBK’s, so I know you’re the only person that I trust cause you always make a perfect shoe review, I’ve been liking your videos, subscribed already, so if you could please do review on these? I wasn’t really wanting an overpriced shoes, but they’re only for $65, I’m going to have a practice these April and I don’t know what shoes under $80 I could use. Please do a review on the Nike Air Visi Pro III NBK. Oh and the Neon Green with Grey and Black colorway are cool.
Hey nightwing2303 where do u get most of your shoes?
Great to see your top ten list again. They are many of us who truly appreciate your work and enjoys your review. I bought Lebron X after your review and every game I play, I know I made the right choice cause of you!
Keep up the good work and don’t mind some nobody behind keyboards….
