Jake, you legit deserve 1mil subs. I bought a pair of Adidas running shoes months ago based on your reviews, and right now I'm not looking for anything, but I'm just watching just for the fun of it.

You've done a great job breaking down the review with clear timelines. You definitely deserve more subscribers!

I could sense a tiny bit of frustration with this shoes performance in your review however you were still nice to recommend it for casual training/ airmax lovers. Suggesting some better alternatives 6:18 is a good one to include in this review. I appreciate all your reviews, very helpful. Thank you! ❤

Nice Review G

So glad I stumbled across this to validate my own experience of this trainer, I bought the trainer based on 2 things Price and the fact I had been the happy owner of a pair of Alpha 4's for almost 3 years which were a brilliant trainer. The Alpha 5 is nothing similar to the Alpha 4, it's about a third bigger in depth and size, so unless you have freakishly wide/deep feet and ankles the fit will always be sloppy. No matter how tight you pull the laces the trainer never feels fitted, which as most people would want this for gym training and exercise means its offers really poor performance as your foot never feels properly supported and grounded. The mesh material they have used is also totally sub standard to the alpha 4. As mentioned the Alpha 4's i've had were brilliant in comparison even though they weren't specifically designed for running their fit and durability meant I'd happily run on the treadmill for half an hour or use for weights, they were a perfect blend and a great price. The alpha 5's i'd honestly avoid, they're pointless for training, definitely would never use them even for a jog, but also HIIT workouts they're too big a sloppy, weights too much movement, just avoid. Not sure what Nike done here but they've lost a repeat customer.

Actuality, these aren't bad at all for upper body gym days. And they come in 4E for those that need room for toe splay. I have been using these for a year, along with Adidas Totals for lower body days.

Glad i watched this video. I was gonna buy these until i seen your review. I'm thinking about trying the under armor project rock bsr 4 or the other under armor training shoe you reviewed few months ago, can't remember the name but there like $130 and have the removable insole.

Perfect shoe for casual wearing. I have wider foot but this model fits me really good. Just for the record, I love your channel and its really helpful, but i have to disagree with you on this one. Thanks for your content tho! Big up!!

So would these be good for jumprope? Since jumping requires your body forward and on your toes

Hello Jake! I'm trying to buy these shoes. Should I buy size 9 or 9.5, which fits me perfectly? Please note that I will not be using these shoes for weights.

The last Alphas that were ok for training were the 2, the midsole was not that thick, it was nice for wide and flat feet, I've pretty much worn out a pair of 2s in a single year cos' they were really good, but then the 3 went, the 4... and it was looking meh indeed, I didn't understand what was Nike's point. The Alphas are the low budget, the entry level shoes to discover training, I got them 2s for only 60 euros, now 95 ? nope.. sorry but not sorry it's a huge NOPE indeed you're right. The 2s were awesome for jump rope, but then I went to the Nano X, then X1, X2, X3 ... it's another league. Correction: I had the very 1st Alphas too ! found them back in my used shoes drawers. Very similar to the 2s.

Jake is would love to hear your thoughts on the air trainer 1, the shoe to do it first and arguably the best

Which do you think is better for daily use for school: nike Air max alpha trainer 4, full force low, defy all day, revolution 7. I want a good one for flat feet and not bulky design.

Okay, I had Plantar fasciitis, my orthopedist recommended this simple shoe for workouts such as leg press, etc. The final conclusion is that I have completely gotten rid of my Plantar fasciitis (through physiotherapy) but I also train a lot with this shoe. Therefore, my experience is not bad at all.

Hey Jake, nice vid! I know this is not the video to ask but I was wondering which shoe would you choose between the Reebok nanoflex tr2 and Adidas trainer V; mainly for regular lifting, with some strength and plyometrics training here and there. I'm and athlete that complements his main discipline with the gym and I wasn't sure which one to choose

Thanks for the review. I would've bought this shoes for lifting if I hadn't watched the review.

Is this shoe good for everything days like school and running

I appreciate the information. I tried on a few different pairs at this place in the mall today. Ended up getting these shoes in the video because they felt comfortable to me. I have wide and flat feet so I’m worried it was a mistake. However I’m only using them for walking right now. It sounds like when I’m done with physical therapy and go back to the gym in a few months. (After about 15 years of no strength training) that I might want something lower to the ground? Open to thoughts, thanks.

I use these as my everyday shoe, I really like them. I have a narrow foot and I think they fit super comfortably

Thanks for the video, looking for something good for training, yesterday I visited several stores, I was thinking it was difficult to find something comfortable for training, they are doing bad things, also most of the shoes do not have the arch well marked, or the foot dances inside, or too much uncomfortable platform, or poorly padded back of the foot. Nike should fire its manager of the sports shoe line.

Just blindly bought theses with wide feet. Haven’t got them yet what do you think. I got them in a bigger size to help but not sure.

I bought this shoes bcs the model looks cool, but after I squatted with these in the gym just recently, it started to make sense that you reviewed it bcs it is THAT bad. I'm pretty stable at squatting but when I used it, suddenly I had wobbly knees

There might have been a reason redesign of this shoe. The 2 pairs I got in Tokyo in March this year have a flat toe section that don't curl up towards the sky, unlike those on this video.

I squat 120kg using this shoes and it doesnt nother me provided stability 3 sets 3 reps

Can you use for HIIT training

Personally i find it comfortable running and jogging accept squads and all leg days stuff but its heavy in start a month in or so its lighter prob bc u getting use to it but i love it from a personal experience

I feel like you did a lot of deadlifting in this shoe. But of you look at the shoe you can tell it won't be good for that. As you know you want a flat shoe for that. But did you squat in it. Cause that heel almost looks like a squat shoe. Only thing is the air pocket in the heel would be counter intuitive for a squat shoe with a heel.

It’s Very comfortable shoes , my everyday shoes ❤

Is it breathable?

For wide and big foot those are the best shoes ever!!

I see these alot at gym 😄

thanks i was gonna get this on sale at nike, but i have a wider foot... i guess i will just stick to adidas...

Could you pls recommend me a Training shoe under 100$

When did Anthony Jeselnek start reviewing shoes on KZfaq

well, they look good...

This shoes squeaking too much.Every step squeaking and this is suck.What can I do

Bought a pair.. my toes are cramped

The build quality is shit in these. The plastic heels scratch for nothing and the heel tab came loose after not even a year.

Hi Jake ,which ones are better Alpha Trainer 5 or Legend essential 3 ?

rucking tho

You cut in half bro thats my dream shoe how poor i am
