Nike KD17 Biggest Pros & Cons

[@FootDoctorZach]

Grab a pair at Nike: geni.us/nikesneakers

[@jamestuason6356]

I was about to buy them, but waited for this video 😂

[@wasabitequila]

Ever since I started wearing hoop shoes made by Asian brands (particularly Asics and Li Ning), they've completely changed my mind. Not turning back to Nike/Adidas.

[@sliver7961]

do u got any recommendations from both brands, asics and li ning

[@donlimon5429]

Problem for me is the asian brands never go on sale for U.S. customers

[@AriaPerdana]

[@vito-casagrande1209]

What ASICS do you use to hoop in?

[@nguyenduyhung1000]

buying sneakers rule of thumb: always watch FDZ beforehand

[@lawcager0073]

This is true. I always do this like before I bought my nike GI3.

[@gojira2404]

I miss the full length zoom strobel in KDs and I think the KD line peaked at the 14s. I wonder what they get on the URS? Also, can you make a video about how you would fix the li-ning gamma's? Thanks Doc! Excited for the kobe 8 review too!

[@Yidkiddabesht]

Love doctor Zach's videos

[@billyellis4149]

The shank strobel is an interesting idea

[@adams.gestwicki5292]

You listed all my pains (knees, hips, ankles). Sucks that's the case since I loved the 16's and thought they weren't going to mess with the cushioning until the 18's.

[@dmvthug445]

16s cause me knee pain too

[@twindisciplines639]

Great video zach! Can you make a best shoes for volleyball video?? 👀 how would you compare Asics shoes vs basketball shoes for the sport??

[@crashpotato6388]

Bought the Iron Grey cw. It has XDR and solid rubber outsole. I am impressed on how the traction performs very well on concrete and dusty court. For the fit, I have a slightly wider feet with tailor's bunion on my left foot, TTS has a thumb width of space from my big toe to the tip of the toe box of the shoes. I do not feel discomfort at all on my left foot, probably because of how my bunion was placed between those plastic lines on the side. As my first KD shoe, I would say a great purchase especially I had it on sale. Thanks sir Zach for the review. Edit: Also forgot to mention that the plastic that spans from heel to midfoot of Game Day Pro insoles does reach the plastic strobel on the forefoot of this shoe.

[@GeoJ1830]

Super nice review ! Really liked your comments ! Thank you very much :)

[@DrBoomBoomboom]

Can you review some ASICS basketball shoes? Like the ASICS gel-burst 28?

[@lionelgrisbane-ud87]

Unfortunately no

[@Flossy2K.]

Almost at 200k subs, let’s go

[@yelllowjacket1756]

I already know that the forefoot shank would destroy the skin on my big toe on the long run

[@SLAPTALK]

I need this in a TRIPLE BLACK colorway. ⚫️😎⚫️

[@willyjunperez2575]

Dr Zach please consider also having a performance review of the Anta Shockwave 5 Version 2. Thank you.

[@mainsourcery]

Xero is making a barefoot basketball shoe and made a custom for Justin Holiday of the Denver Nuggets. Looking forward to a teardown of those when they come out.

[@FootDoctorZach]

If it’s a barefoot shoe…how could it be sport specific…? Besides the tread suppose

[@mainsourcery]

@@FootDoctorZach he has pics of them on-court on his IG, with a mid-foot strap for added lockdown. Forefoot lockdown I might be concerned about because of the wide forefoot, but I’m looking forward to the zero heel-to-toe drop.

[@abinandan2230]

should I go for the kd17 or LeBron nxxt gen ampED, considering durability also

[@RatedMRR]

They def could’ve used another eyelet. They def fit long. I went half size down. Overall a fun and comfortable shoe. Thanks as always Doctor Zach.

[@allensmith9879]

Nike should have put polyurethane insoles in these (The Jordan 11 insoles) to help reduce some of that shock coming from the shank. I’ll probably throw some in once I’ve broken them in and made room for a thicker PU insole, they really do make a huge difference it’s another entire layer of foam.

[@Tapeworm99]

Nike has to get it together, really haven’t had a top performer for basketball in quite some time. Been playing in my reverse grinch protros which are incredible, but thats old tech.

[@Rizzstrainingorder837]

Lebron 21s are elite

[@vaughnronald-james7248]

I struggled with these it pulled at my heel and excited my tendentious like crazy

[@Yidkiddabesht]

I was wondering when it would come out

[@HaimingChen-od7ff]

Fresh haircut 🔥

[@baptiono]

So is this shoe good for shifty, point gaurds who also want a lot of bounce from their shoe? Like is this a big mans shoe or a point guard shoe?

[@joshdeteralifestyle14]

Zach ,ive been a fan of your content since 2022, can we get atleast a view of the insides of liren 4 regular version (midcut) we wanna know the bounce height test of those please 🙏

[@alexandroskoliousis975]

I am between these and giannis freak 6. What do you suggest?

[@ckrueger7488]

Dr Zach which do you think is more worth for outdoor? $75 two wxy v4 OR $110 All city 11 🙏

[@allensmith9879]

Would have liked the zoom to cover the entire forefoot area like the 16s

[@jonathanpasse3877]

I might’ve missed it, but is it a good shoe for chronic ankle sprainers?

[@FootDoctorZach]

Middle of the pack

[@KyngKee]

@footdoctorzach can you do a video and recommend some good slides for off the court recovery?

[@FootDoctorZach]

I have my own coming out soon so watch out for them

[@ThePartarar]

I’d guess they couldn’t extend the shank because of the air unit, might pop it.

[@jman5742]

I’ve been wanting to buy these in the black/red compress but I’ve had issues in the past with shoes not being durable enough for the hard cuts I make as a 3/4. Do you think these are a good pick for durability and lasting 2+ years with no rips?

[@FootDoctorZach]

No

[@tryingtotryhard8191]

Hi, should i buy KD 17 EP or Lebron NXXT gen AMPD ep? I play on outside rough courts and mostly do 3 pointer shots (shooting guard), alao which would last longer?

[@justinwinterholler6334]

When you do the bounce height test in Nike or Jordan shoes, is it done before or after you cut them in half? I just think that the results might be less if you were bouncing the ball in deflated air or zoom units

[@Rizzstrainingorder837]

I think he cuts just the uppers

[@oliwk2622]

Just wondering, are wow10s safe to buy from taobao?? 500+ reviews and 1000+ purchased

[@lionelgrisbane-ud87]

How would he know?

[@07duc91]

i might have skipped, is this a good shoes for hoopers?

[@xristoforosarsiotis5431]

Those or gt cut 3?

[@kensaito159]

Can I do the runners knot in this?

[@themaskedgriffin6384]

Clyde all pro review

[@KishoreAdityaN]

Yeah please

[@user-gt1eg5gy4]

@FootDoctorZach Which is more breathable/lightweight Jordan 37 low or Kd 17?

[@FootDoctorZach]

Both tests and weights are in both videos

[@MopaMcGee]

Any chance the strobel board would be good for something like halux rigidus?

[@FootDoctorZach]

Discussed word for word in the video

[@MopaMcGee]

@@FootDoctorZach how did I miss it?! 😅

[@SigmaSebEdits]

Can you please do Li-Ning Badfive 2 or 3 next?

[@aravantony2479]

Is this shoes good for centers or kd 15 is better

[@BassFace1776]

I was a huge KD fan 8-14. I've bought everyone after that but ive returned all except 1 pair of kd16. These look kinda cheesy to me.

[@noesanchez1870]

Heard these are good for flat wide feet is that true ?

[@66milenn]

are they good for centers and heavier players

[@Sillybombaclat]

kid is practically a center he’s 7 foot so I’d say so

[@floydangelo22]

Can you do Asics sky elite ff mt 2 next time?

[@Bladehunted23]

Are these shoes good for a guard?

[@xumatt1999]

are the 16s better than the 17s?

[@CadeClauset]

Do the Sabrina 2

[@bandanikby1189]

I rolled my right ankle on using kd17, twice in 1 week 😢.

[@duMaurier15]

Huh?? Didnt the KD16 not just release at start of the season? KD16 and KD15 were nice looking shoes but the colorways were lacking.. Nike is not releasing many colorways for basketball sneakers overall. Remember the days of KD4, KD7, Kyrie 1, Lebron 11, 12 when a colorway was released 1 or twice a month..

[@ANGELSANCHEZ-gm9kz]

Will you be cutting the kawhi's new shoes?

[@FootDoctorZach]

Already did- check the channel

[@j-emdequiroz9457]

pls review 361 big 3 5.0 pro and dvd 2

[@SV7S_94]

Are they wide foot friendly?

[@FootDoctorZach]

Tell me you didn’t watch the video without telling me you didn’t watch the video

[@zense7721]

looks like im skipoing these😂, hopefully doc can also review the regular yushuai 18 and how it compares to the ultras considering that hefty pricepoint in the ultras😂

[@norvieYT]

Pls do the Sabrina 2

[@unclutchible4771]

are they better than 16s?

[@jorgklatt396]

I want a 14 as a low top

[@mailonwilliams6864]

They keep rushing the kds nike drops them almost every few months these are bulky and not 1 of the best its a no go for me

[@Yidkiddabesht]

So cool

[@jorgealafriz]

16 was my favorite. You’re saying this is better?

[@kieransoregaard-utt8]

Go watch his KD16 video and compare what he says about both

[@jcbsantos]

can u do the anta kai 1 doc?

[@TubeViewer23]

He already did, look back about a month ago.

[@wpnt37]

Sounds like the Kawhi 4 is the better shoe at this price point.

[@NafiseAghajani]

Pleas review ag 4 soar

[@stripesroars812]

I got mine and the laces are super short

[@botskii999]

when anta zap 1?

[@killric13]

I tried the UA Elite with this KD 17 I bought 17's 😂

[@jadenexavier1618]

kd 17s or 15s

[@DipoDeen]

better than kd 14s ??????

[@Daewonnni]

These look like GT Hustle 2

[@ClipsOfTheYear22]

Just blind buy them I can’t wait

[@dmkskillsz]

Why do they make those laces so bad , that we have to do them twice ?

[@sadelc065]

So KD16 Or KD17?

[@veeceegee]

💯🔥

[@kennethybanez6623]

I played on this shoes for 2 games... rolled my right ankle on that 2 games, I can say kd17s are not for me

[@FaZeGhOsTK24]

I'm a size 10'5 and bought an 11 am I cooked

[@PB42189]

Yea a shank that doesn't full extend makes no sense at all

[@Burgerboi2069]

Kinda just wanna buy em just to say I have em

[@FootDoctorZach]

I respect it

[@danzelltjong]

the insloe logo easily ripped off

[@biggertree7063]

Looks like Anta's DBZ shoes.

[@lamppole]

Kd 17 on outdoor courts after a week you are just praying to stop and not slide into another country

[@oluwadamilaremabinuori1488]

8:50 speed test 😂😂 by a human on inconsistent running

[@FootDoctorZach]

? Weight of the show vs bounce with a standardized weight?

[@PlatinumState]

Nike with stupid gimmicks again no one asked for. Shank strobel ffs

[@humairhamid822]

The beggining made me mad

[@DHemkentokrax]

Algorithmn

[@lanpaule3428]

It’s ugly.

[@ronbrooks6547]

Biggest con, the shoes are the worst looking Basketball Shoes ever made probably. Its taken from Old Flame Air Max and not a good look it's just Lazy on Designing again. Nike is in the toilet these days. No creativity at all. Need to hire me or someone else.

[@ΛιαΛια-ι7ε]

Very bad shoes bro lebron 20 galaxy very very better

[@michaelp9061]

The half way plate is just such a miss. Zero brain involved.

[@Steve-xt2ze]

They are ugly and reminds me of the air max in the 90s
