  • Hey guys, this is Max. Haven't had a video in a while so I thought maybe we could do

  • a shoe review. We got the LeBrons, we got the KDs and we got the Curry Lows.

  • First, let's take a look at the Nike Zoom LeBron Soldier 9s.

  • So, open up the box. We got, here they are. (clapping)

  • The color is blue sword. There's a little LeBron sign on the front right there. And

  • also, a LeBron sign on the bottom. These shoes retail for $140. These shoes are made with

  • an innovative strap system and a lower profile. There's a lot of cushioning inside the shoe

  • for protection of impact. The traction for these shoes is very good, as it has little

  • hexagons on the bottom to give your foot good support on the court.

  • There is also a durable rubber element that helps you not slip on the court. According

  • to Nike, the innovative strap system provides 360 degree lockdown helping support your foot.

  • The sidewalls of the shoe wrap up higher but I think that these shoes are a little stiff.

  • The shoes might even restrict your movement. I'm not a big fan of the LeBrons but these

  • actually don't look too bad. They look like they have more support than

  • the other LeBrons that I've had before. These shoes also are a little more light.

  • So I would say these shoes are an improvement from the old LeBrons but still not great.

  • So why don't we move on to the KDs. Alright guys, now we're going to look at the

  • KDs. To be exact, these are the KD Trey 5 iii. Very confusing name.

  • Alright, so let's take a look at these. So I'll unpackage them, and look at them. And

  • they are like a reddish Pink. (clapping)

  • The color is like a university red. It's a nice change of pace if you aren't a fan of the KD low tops.

  • The mid-sole is rather similar to the KD 8s. There is a similar extended heel.

  • Continuing to the front of the shoe, there are large grooves in the fore foot.

  • But unfortunately, that's where the similarities end.

  • The counter heel helps lock your foot in place for stability. On the heel, you see a unique

  • graphic of plus signs. Who knows, maybe KD was a math teacher before he went into the NBA.

  • But the plus signs don't have to do with math. The plus signs are a reference to KDs

  • love of video games. The low lying strap helps provide a lockdown fit.

  • With the Nike Zoom technology in the sole, there is very good traction.

  • So now that we've talked about the structure of the shoe, I'm going to tell you guys about

  • my opinion. I had KDs before and they were a little lower than this. I don't think they

  • had good ankle support so I ended up selling them to a friend. Honestly.

  • These, I don't know if I would have them as a basketball shoe but I really like the coloring

  • of it and the traction doesn't look bad at all. It looks pretty good. I like them a lot

  • better than the low tops and let's move onto the Currys.

  • Finally, let's look at the Curry One Lows. Alright, so let's take a look at them. These

  • shoes are black and of course charged by belief. Under Armour tells us that the Curry Ones

  • are designed for the game's most unguardable players.

  • The charged cushioning absorbs impact. The AnaFoam upper gives the shoe a light weight

  • structure and support. I always wondered what the AnaFoam was.

  • The external heel counter will secure your foot and eliminate sliding. I totally agree with that,

  • you do not slide in these shoes. There is also the padding mesh tongue with

  • the Sports Center, nope, Stephen Curry logo that protects your foot and it's breathable.

  • And also the tongue will stay in place. Also, on the sides of the shoes, you'll notice dots

  • that are in the cushioning of the shoe. Alright now let's move on the traction of the shoe.

  • Again, as with all the Currys there is a lightning bolt with the Under Armour sign and there

  • is also little tiny arrows pointing in all directions that provide the shoe with really

  • good traction. I think this shoe offers really good control and is light. This shoe is the

  • least expensive of all 3 shoes at $110 retail. If I had to pick one shoe as my favorite I

  • would probably have the Currys as my favorite just because I'm used to them and even though

  • it is a low top I'm sure that it would provide just as much support as the other Currys.

  • My second favorite shoe would probably be the KDs just because of the fact that KD has

  • never come out with a high top shoe before and this is trying new things for him and

  • I think it's pretty good, I mean I've tried them on, they feel pretty good. And then my

  • least favorite shoe again would probably be the LeBrons.

  • LeBron is the most famous out of all these people but his shoes are the worst out of

  • all. Do you think that's ironic? Even though that's a fact, I still love LeBron

  • and the Cavs. Make sure to watch my next video as I'll be

  • reviewing some Kyries. I can't wait for the college and NBA season. Thanks for watching

  • my shoe review. Let me know in the comments section what you think about these shoes.
