I'm going to give recommendations or my

opinion on other types of shoes we've

years have gone on I've gotten very

particular about the type of shoes that

I wear to jump rope these babies right

know the exact type of shoe they are but

these were awesome they're just the

soles are starting to get really thin

the Bottom's starting to wear I've had

only pretty much the only shoes that I

favorite shoes guys here's the Spiel

Nike basketball shoes yo what's up guys

little Kickback which just you know

guys and uh let me know if you have any

questions I'm not saying that you have

to wear Nike it is just my personal

preference for a couple of reasons and

no I'm not paid by Nike to say any of

this it's just the shoes that I've liked

for the longest period of time so check

it dude I got the Luca donic don don

dude I can never say this guy's name

they're Luca the the guard for the

Dallas Mavericks they're his shoe

they're Air Jordans Nike Air Jordans

they're awesome but in general I always

jump rope with Nike basketball shoes

there's a couple of reasons for that

first of all they got the best style

they definitely look cooler than any

other shoe in my opinion so I always go

with Nike I kind of go with Nike for any

kind of shoes skateboarding cross

training I just think Nike in terms of

style has the best and you know when

you're jumping rope you got to you got

to be stylish you know another reason

though and this isn't really this

doesn't really have to do with Nike I

like jumping in basketball shoes because

I feel like they give you the most

overall support both underneath your

soulle and in terms of your ankles which

when you're doing a bunch of tricks and

stuff like that it can be easy to trip

over yourself you might twist an ankle

especially if you're on an uneven

surface and that is never fun so first

and foremost my favorite shoe for

jumping rope is a basketball shoe the

brand I typically go with is Nike these

are my favorite these are the Luca 3s

you've been seeing the b-roll of me

jumping in them I really like them

they're very comfortable they fit my

feet perfectly and uh they're nice and

springy cushiony now there's some other

types of shoes that you can jump rope in

or that I see people jumping rope in so

here's my opinion on them my second

favorite type of shoe to jump rope in

would be runners or cross trainers so A6

Reebok Nike any type of cross training

shoe um is good I have these Nike trail

running shoes that I like the only

reason I like basketball shoes to jump

rope in more is because the training

shoes kind of do have like a softer like

almost two cushiony sole I like to be I

like to have the sole thick but a little

bit hard so that it's not it's not so

soft and I can't really like feel the

ground when I'm jumping on it another

popular type of shoe that I see is Vans

or Converses now these are the style

Kings like dude if you're if you're

jumping in Vans or uh Converses like you

look dope for sure it's definitely true

and obviously you know they used to play

basketball in in Chucks many many years

ago like in the' 60s and 7s however I

don't personally like these for jumping

rope just because I don't think they

have that much support there's a few

people who I know that are in the jump

rope Community jump their jump other

jump rope influencers who jump rope in

Vans and Chucks and they kill it and

they love it it's just not my personal

preference because I do require more of

a soul and more support for when I jump

having said that it is definitely better

using those types of shoes are

definitely better than jumping in your

bare feet I know uh dude shout out to my

blue collar workers I've been getting

some messages from guys who drive truck

or do construction or work in a

warehouse and some of those dudes wear

uh boots you know like even sometimes

Steel Toad boots I wouldn't recommend if

you have different shoes I would

definitely recommend jumping rope in

another shoe but again if you're on your

lunch break and that's all you got man

go ahead it's they're still going to

work and they're still going to provide

you some level of support and ankle

support and also if you whip yourself in

the toe it's a steel toe like you're

fine dude I've seen a couple people jump

rope in heels I wouldn't really

recommend that at all and lastly the

vium those like those like Finger shoes

that grip your feet yo no hate or

disrespect to anyone who wears those but

I think those are so goofy I just don't

like them at all and I think they don't

have any support so my recommendation

would be to not jump rope in those
