cool also first

[@balukas8255]

Can you please review li ning shining 1 fred vanfleet shoe please

[@Yidkiddabesht]

I didn't expect him to make this vid because it isn't new but I love this

[@billh5546]

Could you imagine if Jordan did a performance protro of the 11’s and replaced the air unit with full length zoom?

[@Philosophisticated]

I've been waiting for this for a long, long, long time.

[@ticctacc]

Zach has the skills to do this exact customisation. What say you, Zach?

[@mfspectacular]

you could definetely size up & throw some newer drop in insoles into the 11s. Might not even need to size up depending on the shoe, if you dont mind a snug fit

[@deykno87]

Theses are for casual wear now…😂 not on court lol

[@bryanMangabang]

I am wondering whether someone in Nike raised the concept of protro for at least some of the legendary basketball shoes. Especially the Jordans.

[@bodybuildingandbasketball]

Zach, can you do the Jordan retro 13? Those are the pinnacle of Jordan Retro Performance. Great video!

[@dunsdonjone1537]

Wow so bossy. What makes you think you can tell a grown man what to do 😂

[@walkman6150]

I liked the 14s to play in over 13s for the better traction and court feel. The 13 Def had a cozier feel around the ankle tho.

[@michaeltran2743]

@@walkman6150I loved playing in both

[@suneshin27]

I will still see people play pickup in 13s here and there so they gotta be legit

[@florinschulz1380]

13 and 14 next please 🤩

[@augustooliveira5588]

He could do the rest of the retro line he didnt do yet. Some already have deconstructed reviews here on youtube showing the tech but its always nice to see how the shoes perform with the tests Zach does

[@mainsourcery]

Been waiting for a AJ12 teardown 🫡

[@njY2K]

These are some of the comfiest, supportive, most well-rounded retro there is. Durability on and off court is AMAZING. I've had the the J12 playoff 2022's and I've balled in them and worn them casually ever since and they are still alive and kicking! Only heeldrag as battle scars but these are still some of the best performing pairs out there.

[@baratiecook]

Been a while since the last Jordan retro review. Keep it up!

[@BC21beats]

I enjoy older shoes way more. Jordan 11,12,13 LeBron 1-4, kobe 1 zoom, foamposite

[@itstoonbruh]

Very good taste

[@vigilancenyoni3944]

You should do a spreadsheet of all the shoes and the different metrics

[@wendelllabandilo2155]

I really love the Jordan 12's especially the Flu game colorway and Playoffs colorway. Neat video, Doc! 😁

[@benfrancis-hew5451]

This video is exactly what I enjoy! Love hearing how old tech holds up today! Especially the 12s which have a lot of features modern shoes still have. I'd love to see the CB94s or another shoe which uses Nike Air!

[@gojira2404]

Great video doc! Hoping for more reviews of old shoes soon!

[@iRealTB]

These are my favourite Jordan’s along with the 11s! Thanks for review Doc 👌🏾

[@gmmredrum]

I think it’s an excellent idea to cut and review retros, keep doing it! 🙏🏼🙌🏼

[@Dan-cg8zl]

Yoooo i hope u do this for every Jordan retro (1 to 14) please doc 🙏

[@stevegriffith162]

Jordan 12s and 11s are my favorite. Great insight into how the shoe is made and works. Love this.

[@CLbites]

Love the 12s!

[@rjtercero3]

Would love to see more retros 🤩

[@datharo5]

Man i love these retro Jordan reviews ❤

[@mattwest6419]

Please do more Jordan retro shoe performance reviews it’s interesting seeing how they hold up today

[@GaiusPrima29]

Finally Zach foot doctor dissects a retro shoe!! I was surprised that you haven't done this earlier in your channel's history. Im looking forward to seeing the other great retro shoes be dissected, not just the jordans🔥

[@Thatkidwally]

I’d love to see you do the rest of the modern Jordans (10-14, 16, 18)!

[@lovingthesauce]

I just noticed that you and Spawn Wave sound IDENTICAL lol. Awesome video man!👍👍

[@bladerunner7324]

I've been waiting for this!!! Thanks for the review, Doc

[@tamaskovacs1833]

another good review well done Zach

[@michaelhawes7185]

Half size down was perfect. I appreciate these reviews

[@STAR_WESTSIDE]

Wow, some surprising numbers on these Jordan 12’s. Thanks for another video Doc, you’re the man 🙇‍♂️ 🙇 🙇‍♀️

[@markg5419]

Jordan 12 and Kobe 1 protro are cemented in my top 5 hoop shoes of all time.

[@thesouthism]

Amazing review and amazing video! My holly trinity of Air Jordans are 11, 12 and 13. Elevens are nice to play in them a little bit narrow in the front. Twelves are little bit too low to the ground to me and kind of unstable in transition front to back. Thirteens are the best of the bunch - very stable, prorective and with good grip. That's of course regarding my body type - a heavy guard lol. But the fact that you mentioned that higher psi's might get me to buy a pair to see if there's actually improvement in the performance. And I'll paint the red side plastic with a copic marker lol! Thanks for the review once again!

[@JohnFitzMusic]

Love seeing a retro on here! Hope you consider doing some Barkley shoes. 👍

[@jcwilder86]

im handicapped, left side paralyzed, and the 12 is the best shoe ive ever worn, its so easy to get on and comfortable

[@itsthed5951]

Thank you for another great vid on AJ12’s, gives me reassurance on my purchases 😂

[@panosdamoulakis9520]

Do the 13s please❤

[@kirbyfan3000]

Love these

[@michaelchildress2001]

Just brought those last week at foot locker 🤩

[@technicplay8959]

I have the Jordan 12 neophren 2016, the playoffs 2022 and the cherry 2023, and I have the feeling the 2016 have a better zoom unit. I diminished the thickness of the outsole with a wood files and rasps and the shoe became lighter and more flexible (450 gr before 432 gr after). But yeh, each time I’m walking into these, they feel like an OG cushioning. For the playoffs and the cherry’s it is not the same story, the cushion is harder. I had the containment is better on the playoffs than on the cherry, and I have the pinkie toe issue in the cherry. Last thing the cherry have a more flexible outsole than the playoffs.

[@BabayaGuns]

Yes the 12s are to me the best shoes to play with when it comes to the retros . Really underrated

[@jeimairuzu7056]

I have been collecting Jordan since 1995 till now and I can really say that Jordan 12 is the most bounciest in all of the Jordan like. I really like having a fresh pair of 12s because of the bounce you feel under the feet.

[@technicplay8959]

Can you dissect the 8 playoffs please? 🙏

[@NotKurt7]

Jordan 12s are my favorite jordan to hoop in ❤

[@jarmiusbowman5533]

Jordan 12 cherry are my favorite Jordans of all time

[@tracelawson1367]

The retro review is really cool. Curious if any past shoes can match up with todays

[@FootDoctorZach]

Yeah there’s a bunch

[@QueMusiQ]

2:52 I have on the purples. I never noticed that even WAS foam! 🤣

[@Crnicelad]

The 12-14 are some of the best basketball shoes ever made. 12s in particular are classic! The first jordan with zoom air and Jordan had Pippen switching to zoom air after he tried them on.

[@DougieFresh13]

Got a pair of Gym Reds last week and tried em on. Had never worn 12s. I was over the moon in the squishy factor. I added after my Bauer speedplates 2.0. Amazing

[@DougieFresh13]

I actually filmed a reaction video. Luckily. I was blown away by the comfy feel. My Gym Reds were made in 2016.

[@paparj1076]

This shoe is what make Jordan, well... Jordan. His aura on this shoe is just phenomenal

[@kevincbooker]

This is my dream shooee

[@thebrwnpanthaa]

Hey Zach, can you please check the adidas byw select?

[@kevinmorganjr2423]

Thank you for making this video. 12s are my favorite and I’ve preached that they were so comfortable and underrated for a shoe from the 90’s. By far the most comfortable I’ve worn up and til the 19s. Would love if you did a breakdown on the 19s.

[@FootDoctorZach]

Already did

[@bunzen0kantzen]

Grats on 200k subs 💪

[@FootDoctorZach]

Thank you 👍👍👍

[@DorianDavisddd]

Hey you should do a video on the Nike SB Ishod Wair Max. It’s a skate shoe with an Air Max unit attached to the heel of the insole.

[@seyo8068]

Love my 12 taxi flip/red taxi

[@ΓιώργοςΑντωνίου-υ7υ]

11s,12s, and 13s are great for performance! I haven't tried the 14s but I think it will be like something between 12s and 13s!!! All around the best are the 11s. For impact protection the 12s and for playing defense 13s( not for jumping high to block a shot -for stealing the ball)

[@bladerunner7324]

Doc the GOAT of sneakers performance reviews

[@jeimairuzu7056]

I am normally a size 11 to some Jordans but with Jordan 1 and Jordan 11 i am a size 12. With Jordan 12s i wear a size 10.5. 😂

[@Yidkiddabesht]

I wish they started making protro lebrons or at least the lebrons version of that

[@MarcianoNiog]

Can you make a tier list of shoes with the most durable outsoles from budget to high-end shoes

[@chrisjones9164]

Do the jordan 11 and 13 zack, i would love to see those 2 get your treatment.

[@endgamespoiler2965]

please do more retro jordan reviews

[@UncleJaxsie]

YO ZACH YOU HIT 200K SUBS LETSGOOOOOO

[@FootDoctorZach]

Haha thanks

[@Yidkiddabesht]

Dr zack what does the inflair do i didint understand

[@michaelromandel9022]

I think I should get them. I have a really heavy lower body and used to play a lot despite not being built for basketball at all. I am 5’7” and now weigh 193 with most of that weight being in my lower half. I used to tear through the grip on some shoes in high school because every move I made put too much weight and torque on the outsole and could destroy shoes with bad grip within 30 minutes of indoor play. I also have 2e feet and can’t often wear my actual length size unless I get wide or 2e shoes and find some models in 1 full size up to still be too thin

[@Perryaye598]

PSAC guy, dope! Great vids

[@FootDoctorZach]

All day

[@PainEditz]

please do the jordan 13s those are my fave to ball in

[@balukas8255]

Can you please review li ning shining 1 fred vanfleet shoe please

[@oskie9719]

I used ball in the 12s. Highly underrated.

[@darrelldonalds]

These are damn perfect ball kicks. Played consistently in these outside. Lasted about 2yrs on court. It’s way better than he is stating

[@charlesclarke9430]

I LOVE the 12's!! But 13's are the absolute best to play in!!!

[@Mr_5theOne]

Air jordan 7 performance review please 🙏🏼

[@jawdahn]

Do the 13 please!

[@MrRoda8143]

12's are the comfiest retro AJ for me, followed by the 13. My flu game 12's are so broken in I can qear them at work for over 8 hrs, and I'm on my feet and walking around 90% of the time

[@elijahnhma]

Do the current day Jordan 13 retros!

[@Onschoolfr]

Pls do jordan 13s next

[@oMaxX]

May you do a review on the Kobe 4 please? Really trying to see the tech of the protros

[@tubedude92]

in regards to the moisture...would wearing dryfit or moisture wicking socks help?

[@basicperson762]

Can you review the Li Ning Liren/Blade 4 v2?

[@michaelhawes7185]

I was wondering if we could get a proper review of the Foamposite shoes. So far, we've only seen a review discussing why they might be a good choice for LeBron. With several new colorways being released and the buzz around them making a bit of a comeback, I don't think it would be too much to ask for a detailed review. It would still give you relevant content! 😅 I'm such a nerd that I buy a basketball, play in them, and watch several videos about them. I keep coming back to these shoes videos time and time again after playing in them! 😂

[@chiqchiq95]

Sad to hear it's not good for us w tailor's bunions! Guess i can go bigger on sizes for casual wear instead lol thanks again zach for the review!

[@michaelromandel9022]

I think I should get them. I have a really heavy lower body and used to play a lot despite not being built for basketball at all. I am 5’7” and now weigh 193 with most of that weight being in my lower half.

I also have 2e feet and can’t often wear my actual length size unless I get wide or 2e shoes and find some models in 1 full size up to still be too thin. I also never notice the weight of shoes and the idea that Air Force Ones are heavy bricks that make you slow is a joke to me as my legs are huge compared to most basketball players who have very long thin legs and probably cant destroy exercise bike on the hardest setting

[@jakejoaquin4401]

Hi zach, can you do And1s shoes Tia

[@yatusabe760]

Can you please do the Jordan 11 ie low

[@bryanMangabang]

I'm always wondering whether I could still use my Jordan for playing. How far down the retro release Jordans could we really hoop in? For example could we still hoop in J1s considering the current tech or safety features that we have in the latest basketball shoes?

[@UncleJaxsie]

Hey Zach, any clue what Kristaps Porzingis leg injury is?

[@EspesyalK]

Hey doc! Whatre your top 3 basketball shoes for those who recently recovered from a jones fracture?

[@MrDjohboy]

I’m gonna throw out a super wild card shoe can you do the Jordan 15s? I know that’s not gonna be a easy find

[@michaelhawes7185]

I bought a pair of these shoes online last night. I usually wear a size 12 in most of my shoes, but this time I bought them half a size down. I plan to use them for playing indoor ball. You mentioned that they run long, so I'm worried that the half size down might be too small. I never thought that I had long toes, but maybe I do. Do you think the sizing will be a problem? I'll return them if it is. I just wanted to get your opinion.

[@RONderluck]

12s and 13s are the shoes for basketball. Your ankles won’t go bye bye, your knees won’t hurt.

[@xoilse]

Can you do Jordan 28 please

[@DorianDavisddd]

I have a pair of reverse flu games. The PSI is super high

[@gie7sofly]

I have the 12 playoffs.... The only thing nice about that shoe is the full length zoom air unit and of course the materials. If u just want to look handome on the court, wear this one.

[@GoufinAround_]

Really goes to show "they don't make 'em like they used to" applies to so many things

[@CoachMax12]

Great review. I just don't agree with the durability. Some of my pairs are 8-10 years old. They are still alive and in good condition. Played on different types of surfaces.

[@michaeltran2743]

Wow didn’t know these came with full length zoom air

[@newfnshow031]

we need the black/red ones or even the reverse. White shoes are a no for me. I had no problem wearing these outdoors in the past. Comfortable and I ran in them a long time without injury or issue.

[@walkman6150]

I've worn 12s since the Ogs. It's always been the most plush and springy model of the shoes Mike wore. They are already pretty heavy and then they retain moisture which only makes them worse. Lateral containment isn't the best and gets worse with time. Much like the Huarache 2k4 it is the upper that fails the 12.

[@joshuabritto1036]

I thought it was just me with the lateral containment. The lack of it makes it unplayable for me.

[@joegonzalez4835]

Do aj 5-10 and 14s

[@michaelromandel9022]

I think I should get them. I have a really heavy lower body and used to play a lot despite not being built for basketball at all. I am 5’7” and now weigh 193 with most of that weight being in my lower half. I used to tear through the grip on some shoes in high school because every move I made put too much weight and torque on the outsole and could destroy shoes with bad grip within 30 minutes of indoor play. I also have 2e feet and can’t often wear my actual length size unless I get wide or 2e shoes and find some models in 1 full size up to still be too thin. I also never notice the weight of shoes and the idea that Air Force Ones are heavy bricks that make you slow is a joke to me as my legs are huge compared to most basketball players who have very long thin legs and probably cant destroy exercise bike on the hardest setting. For me the only thing that slows me down is not being able to grip the ground and sliding all over the place when I try to make quick moves or get moving really quickly

[@michaelromandel9022]

I hear a lot of people tell me they need quick light shoes to be fast on the court but I need grip and rubber durability. I think I understand now finally, it is because they have less leg mass vs their total body weight and height. I only really feel the weight of safety toe construction boots that I wear at work and even pretty much all hiking boots and shoes feel really light to me.

[@ecooljo]

Hey Zach I have a REALLY important question: What basketball shoe is most similar to Kobe A.D mid? Im talking insole wise. I have a special insole because of my leg length discrepancy and it fits perfectly in to Kobe A.D mid but I havent found any similar shoe that I find my insole fit PLEASE please if you can give me idea of what shoe should buy

[@MrDjohboy]

So what ur saying is these are the best shoes EVER made lol but your 100% right a broken in pair feel like they are more more comfortable and they feel lighter
