Foot Doctor Explains Why Austin Reaves Debut Signature Shoe Is So Good - Rigorer AR1

[@FootDoctorZach]

My new merch store! foot-doctor-zach-shop.fourthwall.com/

[@ReyDavidGamboa]

If there's a Nike swoosh logo on this pair, it'll be right up there on the best basketball sneakers for the year. I'm just glad there are brands really challenging the powerhouses (Nike, Adidas, UA) by providing value-for-money performance shoes. In the end, the consumers win.

[@rawlvee]

facts actually paying for good quality basketball shoe built for performance not mass consumers

[@lochl2]

New Balance have been my go-to brand of late. Tired of Nike's poor durability, narrow fit, and excessively low cut shoes

[@cappy2282]

Ya for real. I'm putting serious consideration into buying these just because they're not Nike/Adidas

[@d3s1r3dpk]

I hear you lil bro…but relax on the “consumer wins” bit. These shoes cost less than $10 to make…and kids/adults everywhere eat them up for 200% profit returns…Big Business is Winning frfr

[@OneTermPresident]

@@lochl2 Same here. Nike shoes fall apart fast and are ridiculously narrow

[@therealest297]

The Chinese brands just know how to make basketball shoes, price wise they’re usually playing above what your paying. If only they were more assessable in stores here in the States. I’d love to try on some of these shoes before I buy them.

[@josephthompson2462]

Well they’ve had years of making shoes for American brands so they had a up close seat of how they were made lol

[@Rei-0403]

The Chinese brands like Li-Ning & Anta are getting better at making basketball shoes, I hope they'll continue to do so. I'm excited & can't wait to see the Anta Kyrie's 1st signature shoe, I already copped the Anta Shockwave 5 Dark Matter

[@WavyBrando]

For real man, I love that China is giving major brands competition, we bout to see major tech upgrades hopefully soon

Can you bring back the jump height test? Im always interested in what the shank does, not just the foam/air

[@LordVlad2321]

Great Review Dr.Zach 💪🏿🧠 Hopefully you can get and review the following 3 pair of shoes that will be great performers: ( 361 BIG3 4.0 PRO either or Switch/Quick ) ( Li-Ning Bad Five 3 Ultra ) ( Anta KT 9 ) 💯🔥🏆

[@kervindeguzman9440]

I think you got the speed ratio wrong. Nice video as usual though. Looking forward for more reviews, especially the other shoes like the Puma Stewie 2 which is out for some months now, and the Curry 4 Low Flotro that came out recently.

[@oliwk2622]

How would you say this measures up to the sabrina 1??

[@edgardonieves6887]

This is a long shot but just wanted to see if anyone had a good basketball shoe for plantar fasciatis. Right now I use the kyrie 5 low and there is no discomfort at all. But wanted to see if there is any other shoes that my be as good or better.

[@leodendy8647]

Hey Doc thanks for your videos. They are very helpful for me. You mention that these would work better for lighter forwards. Could they be an option for heavier players (230lbs+) 😅? I also have flat feet. You mention the width being one worry area. Did you experience foot cramping until break-in?

[@FootDoctorZach]

No cramping - I don’t see why they wouldn’t work for heavier players - just best for lighter

[@leodendy8647]

Hi Zach ! Merry xmass ! One simple question, Wade 808 Ultra V3 or Rigorer AR1 ?

[@damienmorris6628]

ar1 are completely better, i have the ice cream ones and 😍😍. only 100 for a great shoe

Which Shoe Is Better The Ar1s Or The Nike James Hardens Vol 7

[@TtownLarry]

Thanks for the video. You sold me on the N3xt Level for tennis. I bought 15 pairs of them. Whats your thought on these for Tennis?

[@darrellwestbrook9592]

How do these compare to the Currys & Sabrinas in terms of containment and response?

[@str8fiyah918]

Hey Zach, shoes are great and feel great on foot, but I bought these hoping for really good containment. Although the traction and cushion is great, the heel slippage is causing problems even though I have a runners knot through, bought thicker socks, and tried your methods. Anything else?

[@anjeloxri]

hey zach, roughly how long did your shoes take for arrival. in australia specifically

[@ballintime7810]

Need the Puma All Pro Nitro review! Hearing they are top performers with great tech!

[@BogeyBowler69]

I’m a size 10.5 and I only see full sizes everywhere. Normal foot. Should I go 10 or 11?

[@iceman4404]

Do you know where I can buy them in Europe without having to pay so much for shipping?

Hi doc! AG4 is out now!

[@P2Rock]

I always thought that Nike should use zoom X pucks in some of its bball shoes.

[@mdschlayer]

G.T. Cut 3 will be using Zoom X

[@ossy3803]

Should I get the ar1 or the fission 8

[@zense7721]

my concern on it would really be the shank since, i think i can shatter it if i landed hard on it😂 hopefully i'm wrong

[@waheguru1313]

I think they've probably done the engineering behind it. My guess if it can handle the pressures put on it by an NBA player, then everyday hoopers should be good with it too.

[@timdunning8790]

@@waheguru1313don’t forget nba players only play on them once

[@por3328]

Adidas, Jordan brand basketball shoes also use plastic shanks. Probably Nike too but I can't think of a specific model right now.

Can u do a review on the under armour lockdown 6 please?

[@sloanNYC]

AR has his own shoe? Good for him, hopefully it helps make up for his relatively cheap contract.

[@stpbasss3773]

TF 😂 cheap contract lmfao

[@Rr-j4x]

toe box space?tight?

[@wu1908]

Awesome shoe, but there's something bothering me: there the hollow shank, so there's nothing beneath the shoe arch? So good chance the arch will collapse pretty quickly once the midsole is bottomed out?

[@richardgrace5043]

Doubt it... the rigorers were/are the exact same way with the hollow shank and never bottomed out and the rigorer 2 was the shoe austin played in all season last year

[@damir-r7d]

Quick pro

[@AkberFarooqui]

If I’m a US 10.5, what size should I go with? 10 or 11?

[@marcheezy.]

I'm 10.5US in AJ11, but had to go for 11US in the AR1 because no half size was available. I consider myself slightly wide footed and can absolutely say 10US would have been too tight for me: crazy lockdown from the midfoot all the way towards the heel, but not enough to cut off circulation - performance fit as Zach says. Had to take a hit length wise, but due to the lockdown I didn't feel like I was slipping in the shoe at all. I'm just used to my basketball sneakers 0.5cm or so shorter.

[@omararias3740]

I’m a size 10.5 (Adidas and Nike) they don’t have my size on the site should I go for an 11 or 10

[@danolfato3352]

Reaves has his own signature shoe while AD has none is laughable

[@richardgrace5043]

Maybe when AD becomes reliable and efficient... only thing you can currently rely on AD for is too maybe drop 20+ one game but you can guarantee he will drop like 8 the next game amd for the next week or so if he does... also he is reliable to get injired a good bit and miss 30+ games a season

[@marcheezy.]

Big men generally don't sell shoes. Giannis might be an outlier because he's a main ball handler. I also assume that Rigorer can't afford AD, Reaves gives them access to the massive Laker fan base. Maybe they'll sign more expensive players as the company grows.
