Air Jordan 11 Varsity Performance Review From The Inside Out - Can They Still Play?

[@lokalking6062]

You revolutionized the sneaker review game Doc. Now I can't stand to watch review channels without the durometer, jump height test and cutting the shoes apart. Got my new ANTA GH3 because of your review. Thank you so much Doc!

[@FootDoctorZach]

Glad you like them!

[@IID]

Tiff Beers did it years back... sadly shes bot that active anymore. im just glad doc continued the tradition

[@SLAPTALK]

Zach, your channel in my opinion, is one of THE BEST on KZbin. The detailed information you provide is second to NONE!! 💯💯

[@FootDoctorZach]

I appreciate that!

[@orangetweleve]

you should totally check out the Jordan 12s, 13s and possibly the 14s as well! (a bit harder to find) Jordans 11-14 are the best retros for actual basketball playing, the 12s and 13s are known to be one of the most stable ball shoes ever, they are MJ's all time favorite J's to hoop in as well, and I don't doubt the man

[@hoffvandamme5295]

Hi Zach, I couldn't agree more. The 11 and even the 12s (which are my favorite jordans) were a head of their time. I've put patients in both, however, getting them is the problem sometime. Some retros are still relevant. I would look at the zoom flight 95. It's step-down model the air thrill flight was probably my favorite along with the jordan 12. Keep up the good work, saves me from cutting up my collection haha.

[@FootDoctorZach]

Keep yours under lock and key I’m coming for em haha

[@hoffvandamme5295]

Hahhaha sweet mate, the wife would love that. 40 deadstock pairs from the 90s onward

[@StockMarketAsmr]

@@FootDoctorZach 🤣😂😭

[@lilivargas9500]

You’re the only KZbinr that would literally tier up and ruin any type of shoe even expensive ones to give us a really good review which I love.

[@FootDoctorZach]

Glad you like it!

[@jetshark970shark4]

I hoop in Retro 10's 11's, 12's, 13's, and 14's. These are my go to shoes as a 6'4 PG especially when I am playing multiple games and can't switch shoes

[@AM-uk7jv]

Timeless in both form and function. IMO, the best Air Jordans ever made.

[@FootDoctorZach]

Yeah they're up there

[@Boe3]

12s are the best actually but the 11s definitely top 3

[@allensmith9879]

7s/11s are the best air Js 12s&13s best zoom. I would love to see you do the 12s Zach I'm sure you'll get around to it at some point. Also this year's 11s are gorgeous 3/4&11 are 5he best aesthetically looking Js in my book.

[@NotKurt7]

In my opinion, as a bigger guy, i felt like the lateral stability was not as great. I dont know if you felt like the heel was noticeably higher than the forefoot. So for me, the heel to toe drop with not as great lateral stability, I couldnt hoop in them. My style of play is physical down low. I balled in the Cool Gray 11s from last year.

[@aaronfranulovich]

11-14 are my fave retros to hoop in. All of em were wayyyy ahead of their time. 12’s best outdoor shoe imo.

[@tennenjin]

Try 7-8 9 even 10 as well

[@oceancycloneblue5356]

12s are certified tanks. I shovel snow in em🤣

[@adamstrunz4557]

I got these in the SNKRS flash in November. I love them for wearing around. I deal with heel pain and that seems to subside when I wear these all day.

[@markgalvez1704]

I hope you can do a review on the Jordan 11 lows as well, focusing more on containment and support cheers

[@depressedsodaguy]

awesome review zach! i think you should also try the lows (whether that be the ies for the patent leather ones)

[@David-1216]

On the subject of retro shoes, I think the Air Flight Lite Mid could make for a great review

[@CrownCharlee]

Can you review the Jordan 11 retro IE’s please ?

[@erwinbalagot9240]

Very nice and detailed performance review once again Doc Zach👌🏻 i hope you could review other retro basketball shoes from Jordan, Nike, UA Curry, Reebok, Adidas, etc. Also please review the recently released Li Ning Jimmy Butler 1 signature shoe. More power to your channel!

[@BC21beats]

11s are one of my fave hoop shoes but it's so wack what resellers have done to the price of retros

[@unofreaz]

Cause of you I got the wow10 and gt jump and the move insoles.thanks for your reviews.enjoy ur holidays.keep them reviews coming.

[@FootDoctorZach]

Hope they’re working out well for you 👍👍

[@quasarlnine8272]

No one talks about how a majority if not all shoes made nowadays are way to narrow for a foot reducing the natural splay of your toes and thus more instability due to a lack of surface area your foot has on the ground. At least the companies should add a wide and extra wide version of all their shoes.

[@paigapatesongpon]

Great idea reviewing this legendary pair 👍👍 Would you do the foamposite next?

[@FootDoctorZach]

I reviewed a newer pair last year but in the tennis space

[@TomatoTomato911]

Most folks miss out the plastic cup around the heel cup, which would break apart after few years.

[@Trebor-gw8lt]

Not much foam under the forefoot, which I find interesting considering it's the 11th shoe in the lineup. You'd figure MJ's cushioning requirements would've gotten more demanding as he aged. Was it to save weight on the otherwise bulky shoe?

[@LordVlad2321]

Great Review 💪🏿🧠 Cannot wait for the review of the new AG 3 PRO from 361 degrees those are 🔥💯

[@dizzydad51]

Doc, I just got me a Jordan 11 Retro Low IE. In your opinion, is there a big difference in terms of playability?

[@MingTheAce]

Omg I want that pair of Jordan. Hope I get this on the upcoming release.

[@TopisMe]

Awesome to see such a classic perform well after all this time

[@FootDoctorZach]

Yeah its eye opening thats for sure

[@UNDFTDGordon]

Great review. The only 11 I like is the white and black. Jordan looked so cool in those. This color to me is too garish. Great to know that it’s great for basketball as they look good on the court.

[@michaelhenares2674]

Pls do one on the cherry 12s ❤

[@sadafrashid2140]

Can't decide pg 6 or way of wade 808 2???? Great vid doc please give me some advice!!

[@HolloVVpoint]

Anyone else notice the 11s stiff af now? I been getting these since the 90s and these joints used to be soft now every 11 I get feels like a wooden plank on the mid soles.

[@Jonessmoothies]

Whoa I would love info on how to buy defect pairs!?

[@marcheezy.]

That's a brutal looking sprain. Here's to a speedy full recovery.

[@FootDoctorZach]

Appreciate it

[@iamtheway118]

The best shoe review channel of all aspects right now. No others 👍🏻

[@FootDoctorZach]

Thanks!

[@alikbey]

Do Jordan 12s next. The most comfortable Jordan of all time hands down💯

[@ericohm9474]

0:01 *internal screaming*

[@MrThisguy200]

Love this breakdown. Would you say this video applies to all AJ 11s from the last few years? Wondering if these pairs in particular have any updates from previous releases.

[@FootDoctorZach]

Ive heard these a bit stiffer than previous models but i cant tell too too much difference

[@jhomarvinluan4785]

I am curious about the inside and cushioning technology of Adidas Pro Model, I suggest you Zack to review this before I buy this shoe hehe

[@realswagrex1107]

If u have a wide foot do you need to upper a size?

[@Tiger24kicks]

Imagine if the 11s had zoom air oh my god that would be the best basketball shoe of all time. I love 11s but 12s are my favorite Jordans to play in. 12, 11, 14, 13 and 8 are my favorite Jordans to play in.

[@Trebor-gw8lt]

Yup I agree. A Zoom strobel or Zoom bags would completely transform this shoe from great to exceptional.

[@5at5una]

is a pretty shoe for sure.. but damn 11... i have jubilee in US 9.5 killing my pinky and the 72-10 low in 10.. also killing my pinky... really dont know why.. my 12 and 13 were fine... 14 its does pinch a bit.. but not as severe as 11

[@kejimoto2405]

Hi Zach, is there already pg7 shoe, im just wondering what pg is wearing during his games now.

[@punkfloyd]

Love this content doc

[@jetshark970shark4]

What shorts are those?🤔

[@Zaycy]

Hey zach, for a bit I have watched a lot of your shoe reviews and I need help on making a choice. Sorry this isn’t related to this review and you probably get questions like this a lot. In comparing the Kyrie 8 and Jordan Zoom Separate, do you believe that the cushion in the heel would bottom out in the Jordan in a couple months? I heard you talk about the arch but not the heel. I am looking for a shoe that would last at least 4 months playing indoor basketball a couple times a week? I need impact protection to last for a while for my knees, thanks, and much love to all the detailed reviews. Also, my whole foot is 2E so I was thinking a half size up in both but the Jordan would fit better. I tried kyrie 8 in my reg size and it was extremely tight and restricting. Was also looking at the kd15 in my reg size but idk if it would be wide enough or work on dust

[@FootDoctorZach]

I guess it depends what surface youre playing on- id check my ultimate shoe guide to find some matches

[@Zaycy]

@@FootDoctorZach thanks for the response, sorry I should've specified for hardwood. I watched the video before and noted what you said but if I sum my question up, will the jordan zoom separate bottom out heel cushion quickly? anyways sorry for the very long comment and great videos

[@aljericolleva2687]

Hi, Can you do a performance review of 361° AG3 Pro 😁

[@DavidBaggaShorts]

Hi Dr Zach, great video/work. I play in the retro 12s now with the move game day insoles and they’ve broken in pretty nicely. In your opinion we’re the 11’s lighter than the 12s and did you use insoles in yours or were you able to just play with the regular ones that came in the shoe?

[@IAmInfinitus208]

I say the 12s were heavier than the 11s due to the thicker rubber outsole and especially the full-length Zoom Air contributing to the weight as the millions of thin fibers inside the air bag add a bit of weight.

[@DavidBaggaShorts]

@ thanks! I had a few of these Jordan’s as a kid in the 90s. And Yeah the 11s are next on my list to play in. My 12s lasted me for about 2 years now. It’s still Wild how the retros last longer than all the current Jordan models out there 🤯👟

[@gerryrojas4663]

AJ11 are one of the best I ever played. I had the original black & red.

[@bigupschase]

That’s not discolored on the heel of the sole, you are seeing a part of the sole that is not covered but the carbon fiber plate. It’s just the white part of the sole

[@mailonwilliams6864]

Not going to lie the new 11s don't feel like when we got the OG and the 12s are my favorite comfort to hoop in
