bought a pair of OG full black colorway on the initial release, I am not very good basketball player but I feel it is way better than my KOBE 4&6 (for guards). And for the pricing, retail price in China is around 160USD, but on the resell market only the OG full black colorway is over retail(maybe the most limited and best looking one?), other color way is around or under retail, the colorway on this video is around 130USD on the secondary market right now. For Chinese brand, their basketball shoes will normally go under retail for a lot(in CHINA), and the reason why Shockwave 5 PRO can stay at a high price is because the Kyrie hype, and maybe this is a market-testing product so they reduce the production compare to other sneakers like KT9
Seems like the Pro version ain't worth the increase. Though I like the Pro design more, there's no difference in the cushion system, its the same.... the regulars end up being better due to durability
The regulars are for outdoor play while the pros are for indoors, still think the regulars are much more worth it considering they have the same cushion tech, the same carbon fiber shank plate and still really good lockdown and padding
Do not get the Pro version. I did a AB comparison in the Anta store and the price is just not worth it. Pro is softer in the heel but they are comparable in the forefoot. If you use it outdoors and land on your forefoot often, your knees are going to take a pounding.
Price has come down. Anta lost their minds for a minute and realized “Hey guys we ain’t all that” Looks like 165 at this point. Concerned about the dust magnets. Wiping every play is not my thing.
@@kitfisto72 famuji has been existing for a long time. many sneaker content creators get all their anta's, peak's, lining, and other chinese branded sneakers from there.
@@spencerkogut107 that makes sense but i still dont know why there are different prices for different sizes on their website. Weight difference shouldnt be that big.
