Can we have a comparison to the Ka1

Doctor new videos come out faster than the speed of light 👀

He's a mad man 🦹🏻

[@CybertroninfiniteOfficial]

It's that new studio doing its work

[@BC21beats]

Good call on the traction I thought it was bad at first since it didn't bite super hard but I found that it stayed really consistent even on the extremely dusty court I play on.

[@letoxfom1174]

Love, when you post review faster, than everyone

[@xaviermartin15]

Hey Zack, I got these shoes earlier this week and couldn’t wait for your review after hooping in them! All your principles were riding on this one-haha, just kidding. But seriously, this is one of the best pairs I've worn in years! Glad to see your thoughts mirrored what I was feeling!

[@spencerharrison5114]

I just love the detail and nuance. Your videos are so valuable. Thanks!

[@adams.gestwicki5292]

Really like these after trying them on. I've got a medium foot with a high arch, and was able to go down to an 11 because they don't make an 11.5. Fits like a glove. Definitely more court feel than I'm used to, but as I get used to them, I like it more and more.

[@Panda_nekro]

china brands are really topping nike nowadays, might have been kyries best idea to leave nike

[@nicknett8]

He didn’t leave they dropped him but perhaps was meant to be

[@miltonarguello5162]

Ya they dropped his endorsement but I wish that Anta and other quality chinese brands like Lining and 361 would have more stock and availability especially in bigger mems sizes like 14 and 15

[@jefferrrson1x]

Definitely meant to be for Kyrie. One of the most marketable players in history and Nike decided to be make a mistake and drop him.

great review doctor zach, been buying basketball shoes based on your reviews. can I check if kai 1 speed are these good for knee, hip and backpain? im a very undersized guard weighing 143lbs.

[@kerryn4173]

Thank you for the review. I like to play outdoors so this is what I'm looking for.

[@吳柏宏-p3m]

Please do the Asics gel-fastblaze and gelburst 28 review 🙏

[@alexwong4079]

I think I need some advice😂 I have tried both Kai 1 and Kai 1 speed in store today, and I think Kai 1 is a little bit high(the gravity of my foot), but it’s actually has better bounce, it’s possible lead to sprain my ankle in accident? Btw, I really like the lock down feeling of Kai 1, but I play as SF usually and like shooting 😂, it makes me feel contradicted while I am choosing one of them…

[@kapaaaau]

As always, D Zach the GOAT.

[@andremorris4305]

@footdoctorZach are the Speed better than the Kai 1 for outdoors?

Mannn that slide out was INSANE. 😭😭😭🤦🏾‍♂️ That’s so scary. Definitely a no-go for me. Can’t do it. Can’t risk it.

[@FootDoctorZach]

On indoors I understand for sure- the grip is much better in terms of stopping power on outdoor surfaces

[@tillug79]

that’s just the residue from the mold. after wearing out the top layer it’ll be ok. seen it in the Chinese reviews

Would you recommend these over the Kai 1?

[@IMac1812]

Recommend these or the flagship more for an ankle sprainer?

[@FootDoctorZach]

Not a huge difference imo

[@seouleshoes]

Another solid video! I had a quick question as far as how you identify TTS? Do you consider a finger nails width as TTS, or thumbnail rather?

[@user-nj4hf8kz5z]

Hey I used to work at a lot of shoe stores. It depends what you prefer, either a 1:1 fit (fingernail space) or a little bit of room (thumbspace). My TTS is US10 for casual shoes which tend to be a bit wider and more forgiving space wise, especially in the toe box. For basketball or running shoes, it’s a good idea to have a thumbspace (I wear 10.5), because when u stop and your foot slides forward, it’s not slamming against the top of the toe box. However again it’s all down to preference and other variables (e.g fit of that shoe and materials)

[@seouleshoes]

@@user-nj4hf8kz5z Preciate the insight! I used to work at Nike in the past for a couple years (predominantly footwear,) but always heard the thumbnail width for the most part as TTS. I thought it was considered both based off preference but definitely will keep that in mind moving forward. I also have longer toes, and flat feet and have typically stuck with the thumbnail width at least with my big toe, cause I feel the finger width I’ll slam into the toe box haha.

[@ScoDellBeckham_]

YESSSSS, been itching for this review

[@동호김-i7m]

I didn't understand the breathability test. Can I understand the difference between heating and cooling values?

[@AlexBartnik]

Have you studied how long micro gridding actually sticks around on a shoe when you start playing in then? Especially outdoors I would think it might only be there for a few sessions

[@alanperez.8826]

What shoe has the least amount of inflair i have a very straight foot

[@scoutGOW]

Thinking about this or the Dame 9, Got big flat feet.

[@matthewmuffett9028]

These are awesome shoes just by looking at them

[@joshuathomasrosarda9198]

Do you already have the ANTA STG Swagger 1.0 available there in the US?

[@carloberja7834]

Hi Zach! Does the Kai 1 Speed have better impact protection than the original Kai 1? I was looking to buy the Kai 1 but saw here that the Speed has a wider toebox with is perfect for my tailor's bunion.

[@magaracumagli.4512]

which shoe does better performance wise better indoors? li ning jb2 or way of wade all city 12 encore?

[@ΗλιαςΠαπαδόπουλος-γ6κ]

Freek 5 or lebron witnesses 8 for outdoors? Please answer 🙏

I’m 10.5 tts but started wearing ankle braces with slightly c-shape wider foot. Do you recommend up half to 11 or stay at 10.5? Thanks doc!

[@cartiercaper6629]

Hey Doc. I’ve been watching alot of your channel as of late trying to find my next shoe. I can’t pick one cause of my needs. My feet got hot fast, I like light weight shoes, with good grip for guards. I do a lot of snatch backs so good grip is a big need. Please leave some shoes beneath even if you’re not the Doc I would greatly appreciate any and all help. Please and Thank You

[@ashkarakal]

Why is the bounce height so much higher on these than the other Kai 1s? Aren’t they both nitroedge

[@David-1216]

Hey doctor zach, why does the shoe have the 2 circular cut outs in the outsole where you can see through to the midsole? Is it just for flexibility

Welp, encouraged by this review I ordered a pair. They are way too stiff, wide toe box is nice but the rest of the shoe is tight. There is a weird pressure point on middle of the foot. I should check earlier, there is no return option. First and last adventure with Anta.

[@FootDoctorZach]

No return?? I wasn’t aware…sorry to hear but glad to know it

[@johncarolina4950]

@@FootDoctorZachThere is a return option. I've returned shoes to Anta before. Not sure what this guy is talking about

If there's a flaw on your shoe you can return it. It was considered limited item so they did not allow returns.

This shoe is a bit lighter then the regular kai 1s. But my kai 1s is broken. So it takes maybe a couple of games to trully brean these in. Kai 1s have a broken in feel right out of the box. I went .5 higher cause i hate tts.
