Thanks Chris, Jodi, & the Weartesters team! Awesome top hoop shoe picks! Loved many of the shoes released this year. Been rocking with Weartesters since the kicksoncourt days! Still my #1 go-to sneaker channel.

Loved this episode. I came for the top shoes but got the most out of hearing you both talk about how you got here and the work that went in to it. I particularly appreciated your recognition of the role chance/luck plays in life. A lot of folks pretend that their success is all due to them being special or having some secret sauce, and you guys are so honest about the reality.

This video auto-played for me while i was playing minecraft and I have to say all the questions where you starting giving us your story about this account, might've been the most inspiring thing I've heard all week. I found the nightwing profile when I was in highschool, and to this day WearTesters is my absolute go to for reviews. Found you in 2013/14 when I started playing basketball, and I'm now 24 years old, still hooping and relying on you for the most details :). Y'all are the best!

I asked for a SI subscription for my Christmas present in 1993 because I was loving the NFL. Back then you got a “gift” with your subscription. I didn’t get to pick mine. I just happened to receive Michael Jordan On & Off The Court on VHS. I was hooked after that. I was practicing ridiculous up & under reverse layups at age 12 & never looked back. I’ve been obsessed with sneaker culture ever since!

I'm glad that the Lebron NXXT Gen was included in this years top shoe list. I always get my shoe that is in Chris' top 3 shoes of the year. The sweet thing about the NXXT Gen was it was gifted to me by a friend coz the outsole on my Jordan 34 lows left shoe separated. It definitely is a gamer for a budget shoe version of the Lebron 20. Thanks Jackson for picking these! 🔥🔥🔥

watching this episode makes me feel so much of what you both went thru (and im feeling atm im going thru) the ups and downs and currently part of the down part and hearing your story is such an inspiration as much as your shoe reviews did for me since the beginning. witnessed how everything kept on improving on what you do and again, such an inspiration since being 80s/90s guys I also see so much similarities of myself in (nightwing) in a lot of aspects ( world and life views among other things). thank you so much for this channel all throughout the years avid fan and follower since way back happy holidays to you both nightwing and mrs. wing. 🌲🎄 I love the experience of playing in the 38s more than any other shoe this year and thankfully haven't experience the sole issues yet, hopefully🤞 top 5... ( on the limited models I got to play in this year) 1. Jordan 38s 2. Lebron 21s 3. harden vol 7s 4. zoom freak 5s 5. Jordan Luka 2s

My SOTY was the two way v3 but I'm not sure if that released last year. It's such a good all around shoe with great traction. Where would you guys rank the Zion 3? Seems like most reviews loved it if you can overcome the crazy fit but haven't seen it on any lists. Maybe the full length zoom version brings back the hype

I'm just curious if where some of the former wear testers are these days. I recall years ago there was this one college dude who was part of the team (I forget his name) he loved doing drone shots for his videos. Also I recall you had a young lady who was high energy. I believe it was the time Mrs Wing started to be on camera too. Also I recall Duke doing videos but I think he just does articles now on the website?

@@WearTesters that makes sense. Some coloways of WoW 10 were still releasing in 2023, didn't realized it's original release 💡 Yeah I agree on the take for the JA1, I initially thought it would be included since a lot of hoopers ball with them. Not mad with the list though✌️ like the detailed opinions you all for the number 1 pick shoe

Didn't mean to start such a controversy with that question 😂 I just notice most people gravitate towards a certain color for most or all of their shoes like Jodi said she likes white and cream my dad doesn't own a pair of shoes that aren't green, personally If I had to pick just one color way I'd pick black and gray with a blue accent, I agree though it does take most of the fun out of sneakers because I try to have a shoe in every color to go with any outfit.

currently watching @ 28:39 of the podcast/video where Jodi was talking about how y'all started out. Since you've both mentioned a few times that Chris has worked in managing and maintaining properties, I'm curious if Chris is very specific/has high standards with the cleanliness of utilities, bathrooms and other parts of your living space/home. Might as well ask if you like your hobby stuff (shoes and toys) clean, maintained, and pristine. Same question for Jodi! I love the podcast and I'm glad I got into the channel just a few months before it started! I got into sneakers because of your Nike Dunk Jumbo review and I learn so much about sneakers and more by watching all of your content. I hope to watch more of your content, please keep it up!! 🔥🔥 I hope y'all are doing great and thank you so much!
