As a foot doctor I look at basketball shoes and basketball sneaker technology a bit differently as I focus more on what foot types benefit from these shoes as well as the basketball shoe's functional attributes on the basketball court
Some of the main areas we cover in this basketball shoe playtest, teardown and performance review are:
- The weight, durability, fit and playability
- What are the features of the insole, midsole, and outsole
- Puma basketball shoe technology explained

Can Tennis shoes be great walking shoes ?

[@TheSketchyBean]

It would be great to see a comparison of these to the all-pro nitros. I bet lots of people are deciding between these two pairs

[@Christian-zq7ez]

Do the Puma All Pro Nitro next!!!!

[@CoachMax12]

[@vito-casagrande1209]

If you liked these you have to try the puma all-pro nitro! I've been using them the last couple of weeks, one of the best shoes I've tried in the last times, just a bit of a break in necessary!

[@rpm6133]

All pro nitro or Stewie 2? what you prefer?

[@vito-casagrande1209]

@@rpm6133 personally I got the nitro because having tried both in store, the all pro fitted me best

[@vatsxn511]

Great review, always interested in shoes that are great for outdoor courts. Hey Doc, could you review a few more Puma shoes, like the court rider 2 and new nitros.

[@iaintmirin9936]

probably weird BUT i‘ve rolled my ankle 3 times this year and everytime it happened either in my lining speed 9, cosmic unity 1 and nb 550s. Funny thing is I‘ve had my puma nitro teams (first version) the longest and NEVER injured myself. I wear a brace now but without a brace and nitros on I can run as fast as I want without injuring myself

[@markeviousmack]

Thanks for your content,, you’re so helpful

[@jackbutler2309]

Your my go to if i need a pair of shoes! Thanks for your work

[@denisec9670]

Since seeing Leylah at the San Diego open, I’ve gone through 2.5 pairs… they wear out most in ball of big toe but i luv them and am going to league tennis sectionals in a couple weeks!

[@allensmith9879]

Love this colorway, I shoulda waited for these, love my Stewie 2s it’s my go to whenever I’m not sure what to wear.

[@c5natie1]

Ordered some Power Step insoles for supination based on your recommendations. Looking forward to trying them out. Thanks.

[@FootDoctorZach]

Hope they work well for you

[@wadec6799]

Man id love to see ya revuew the puma all pro scoot basketball shoes best shoe ive played in in a long time

[@brianbanks3044]

Thanks to you Dr Zach, I wear ONLY basketball shoes for pickleball now...I use the Nike PG6 and the NewBalance WXY V3 and they work great.....soles are holding up pretty well for such abrasive outdoor courts but the support and comfort are fantastic...this Stewie shoe looks like it can accomplish the same thing

[@LuZu_]

Zach, could you possibly review a shoe for basketball/tennis that features significant toe splay (opposite to taper at the toes?) I love how Altra’s feel for my bunion but they’re running shoes.

[@jeanedwardlaconico7331]

Please review all pro nitro solid rubber outsole :)

[@KING-COOL4]

May you please review the Air Flight Hurache? There is no performance review and I just got it.

[@Bassgesicht]

Great review ! I freaking love the breathibility test haha. Just smoke them up! :D I'm inbetween buying these or a second pair of the NB Two Wxy 3 - I'm a slightly heavier guard, but mostly want traction and a comforting fit out of my basketball shoes. What would you recommend?

[@TheReject182]

We need a comparison with the all pro nitro !

[@miguelangelgonzalezlara3611]

Hi doc, you have some video of reebok question mid? Accidentaly i buy some of these pairs and idk i just wanna play w these shoes

[@viljamimakela5062]

When is the All Pro Nitro Review coming out? Curious about the differences to the TRC Blaze Court and the Rise Nitro. Really trying to decide between the All Pro Nitro and Lebron 21... 🤔 Thanks Doc!

[@johnmonteclaro4546]

Can you please review the anta skyline 1 v2 im planning to buy but i wanted to hear your explanation about the shoes

[@abnerotero111]

Please do a video of the Puma Allpronitro 2

[@jaredrusselmedina]

Hi Zach is the insoles for the Stewie 2 easily removable? Id love to use my Move insoles while using them

[@rpm6133]

How using a volley shoes like the nike HyperAce 2 for playing basket? they are very similar a the Kobe11?

[@bubblebea-gk7gx]

LOL! Perfect timing, I was just wondering about that. Saw Lyla play, and I was like, what are those cool looking shoes?

[@jbautista2265]

I have wide feet and these shoes are the best pair I’ve had in a while

[@user-qi8yt6sl8c]

Love your in depth disection analysis of the shoes. I'm getting a little bit of achilles tendinitis. I play basketball weekly. I'm wondering if there is a basketball shoe that you would recommend that will help any with that.

Please do some old school Nike basketball shoe teardowns like retro LeBrons, retro KDs like the KD 3 retros, other Jordan retros you haven't reviewed, and some other vintage Nike basketball shoes.

[@bonucleus]

Interesting shoe...Unfortunately Brazil mostly has clay courts, but a few basketball shoes have a good profile for tennis playing. Have you migrated to another tennis racket?

[@panthersfantre]

I feel pretty bouncy in my Melo MB3s and to a lesser extent(because I have only shot around in them) MB1s so that part was interesting

[@ReallifeGfly]

these make my heel a little sore after balling, but nice to work out in. Grip not so good on hardwood

[@dreihuertas21]

Please do a review on the Puma All-Pro Nitro 🙏

@FootDoctorZach what do you wear daily off the court?

[@FootDoctorZach]

Nike Zegama

[@od_avenon]

@@FootDoctorZach those have some interesting colorways. Too bad Nike hates people with wide feet

[@mattlocke444]

Think these or the WoW All City 11 are a better option for tennis?

[@FootDoctorZach]

I talk about this word for word in the video

She doesnt have a deal with puma as stated on her interview about the use of stewie 2. But i hope she does. She recently won wta hongkong wearing that shoe.

[@jacksonlar]

Zach, can I assume that these are not recommended for clay?

[@FootDoctorZach]

For sure not

[@wu1908]

Accidentally realized during a rewatch that you forgot to update the label from Air Jordan 38 to Stewie 2~

[@FootDoctorZach]

It happens - thanks for the rewatch tho haha

i wanna sell my Melo 2's.. just isn't bouncy to play in... nor are they like... any good at all imo. maybe i haven't broken them in but honestly, it was such a waste of money on my end. their "nitro" foam to me is just normal dense foam. not comfy. they are just standard.

Any Li Ning model with tuff os outsole can do better

use this comment as voting for all-pro nitros vs stewie 2 review!!

[@butchcassidy9625]

How do you not realize she only wears the shoes once? It doesn't matter if the tennis court chews the bottom up over time". 🤦 She simply just wears a new pair every game. 🤭
