Damage control…
I remember Mission releasing a video similar to this after my review on their Court Grip. I’ll say the same thing here that I said to their representative that contacted me to remove the review… take the critiques that someone gives you as a positive thing. When a reviewer is honest enough to tell you what does and does not work then you can improve your product for the next release. Some think what I do is hating but that’s just being ignorant and close minded to the truth. After all… I don’t see any of the negative reviews on Apple’s iPhone 5’s crappy map application being targeted as ‘hate’… it was the truth.
Support of a high and freedom of a low… everyone knows that high tops don’t offer any more support than a low. Proper fit and lock down is key. Under Armour got it right in the Micro G Torch and they missed the mark badly with the Charge BB.
I don’t do this to kiss brand’s asses… I do this to help the brands make the best basketball performance products available to us… the consumer.
This is so lame. Even without your video, no one is going to buy them anyways. The fact that they want you to remove the video shows that they have acknowledged how weak their product is.
Under Armour never asked me to do anything nor contacted me, it was Mission for the Court Grip. But yes, I agree no matter which company it is.
Who are they fooling with that crap anyway. Anybody that even touched a basketaball would know that those shoes are crap if you watch the commercial you can see the back loose when you make a lateral move. Nightwing love your work, ua should be begging for you to work for them. Lol. I hope that when au called you, they addressed you as Dr. Nightwing aka the basketball shoes doctor.
\m/
to be honest, there are a minority here that thought the shoe was really good. I’m not sure they would still say the same thing when NW came out with the review. I just hope that those “certain people” are in fact honest buyers and not merely company shills.
U guys are funny he said a bunch of times that ua never contacted him… The company mission did lol
^This.
LOL! Is this supposed to be convincing? Wowsers! Even as the “guard” moved forward, you could see that top piece moving all over the place. That’s supposed to add something? Cmon. It just looks like wasted material. Unless you tighten that thing up as much as it can be tightened, I don’t see how it does anything. Maybe I need to put them on but I am just saying that I can’t see how it does much if anything at all. I would honestly give the shoe a try without that extra material hanging on it. This is coming from someone with the Black Ice, Bloodlines, and Torch.
How do you like the torches
To be blunt, excellent shoe. The traction is great for me and the comfort is just crazy. It is not an exaggeration to say that the foam is just ridiculously soft. Nightwing’s description and review was very accurate. I rotate between the Torch and Soldier 6 mostly nowadays.
I bet the guys with the g torches blocked him
Good for you, Glad your doing this for the consumers out there and not just another pocket man. Love the new 25 best shoes of all time, but you might need to changed up your top 10 of 2012 cause they don’t match now.
Thanks. The top 25 was for the past 5 yrs. The top ten of 2012 is just for 2012.
any thoughts of making the top 5 or top 10 worst shoes for the past 5 years? I’ll have this at number #1.
Im practically on this site daily checking out the review before buying. With rep season coming Im tossing between the Bionic Spine or Lunar Hypergamers.
You do a good job in reviewing, I think UA should see it as constructive criticism more than anything. Looking forward to the UA Bionic Spine review
Nightwing, I don’t see Howard 2, CRazy lights, durants in the top 25. Didn’t they make the cut?
Props to the list anyway. Very much on point.
damn straight
wow, in this video the shoes actually look and perform good, but nightwing tells the truth better than commercial video! thanks
Good job sticking to your guns NW. Respect.
People who wear these shoes are posers. They are just for design. They have no grip. Isaw a kid wearing these and i lauged at him. foolsifh boy, he even tried to get a girl with them. FOOL
