[@FootDoctorZach]

Under Armour Curry Flow 9 teardown: kzbin.info/www/bejne/roS3dIN-oq-sh8k

[@AlexanderVocotie]

What Size did you buy. Are they true to size? or did you go up down? Im a true 13 but frequently I feel Like I have to go up to a 14. For example In chuck taylors I'm an 13. in nike waffle one's I'm a 14

[@oxfordbambooshootify]

Your basketball shoe guide is like a Bible for us hoopers. Thanks a lot Zach

[@FootDoctorZach]

Oh that’s awesome that you like it! Yeah it’s my go to to compare shoes - use it every day now

[@eddscall]

Totally

EXACTLY

[@bingletonlamonte3766]

Faaaxxxx bro

[@jackbutler2309]

Amen

[@dogtorj19]

it hurts me everytime i see the tear down of the shoes but it's really great to see inside the midsole. keep on the great work. great fan.

[@FootDoctorZach]

Glad you (kinda) enjoyed it! haha

[@nikeheritage86]

After we heard Mr Nightwing stepping away from basketball *performance* reviews and focusing on sneakers, we're in good hands with the foot doctor who goes really in-depth and uses realistic measures like the one-foot shooting test. Thank you for these videos!!

[@FootDoctorZach]

Glad you like them!

[@demperorzero]

Great review man! As for all your reviews! It's great that we can have a review on the performance shoes based on a doctor's point of view. I've been watching performance reviews from other reviewers but they don't touch on subjects like arch support or if this shoe is good for flat feet or neutral or high arched feet. Or touching on certain conditions that could affect a person using the shoe such as Plantar Fascitis, and such. Thanks!

[@FootDoctorZach]

Glad you like them!

[@maxgam6342]

Yes it's true so it's these shoes it's OK for a plantar fascitis?

[@finthinks6655]

​@@FootDoctorZachif i am 2E should upsizing or not for PG6?? Please answer. Thank you

[@beno6198]

It breaks my heart every time you cut the shoes up but I still watch for the solid information. Keep it up my dude.

[@FootDoctorZach]

You and me both!

[@allensmith3567]

Love the PG 6 & Lebron 19 Low React foam is so elastic it’s the perfect combination of cushion & spring right out of the box while it lasts. And yeah this is a hot shoe, the Tongue & interior of the shoe is extremely comfortable thick & cozy. On the side of the PG 6 there are 3 small ventilation holes on the sides of the shoe open on the outer layer covered by the internal sock liner, you can use a mini pick or anything small enough to fit through that hole & pierce that cloth it provides a good amount of air flow on both sides right in the center of the shoe.

[@kararal9834]

Bro thank you I ordered the shoes and then watched the review and got worried about the sweat

[@hikki6478]

I'm glad you started doing reviews

[@tevinfalzon6198]

Another great an informative review Zach! Love the way these look as compared to the last couple PG’s and after this review I definitely think these are worth checking out. On my list for sure.

[@deykno87]

That’s relative… you’re statement is true but They all sooo ugly lol

[@FootDoctorZach]

I think these are pretty slick looking - Excited for some new colorways because i think they can get pretty creative with the color blocking

[@bandokazoowee1024]

Man bro you are a Certified GOAT! Your content is ridiculously underrated! Thank you for blessing us with reviews from an Expert perspective! This type of information we can’t get from anyone else. 👟 🔌 my brother!

[@FootDoctorZach]

Glad you got something out of it!

[@victormontalvo416]

Just got for our son thanks for the info basketball season in full effect.

[@IKnowFootball]

Hi Zach! Great vid as always! When you say the heel will bottom out with heavier players quicker...are you referring to bottoming out in a hooping session or you mean bottom out sooner decreasing the overall life of the shoe? For reference I'm 6'2", 210 lbs with a 38" vertical....lots of force coming down from my jumps.

[@FootDoctorZach]

Overall life of the shoe- but in month 2 the foam wont be as resilient after an hr of playing like it did during week 1 - so its kinda both

[@IKnowFootball]

@@FootDoctorZach Thank you!

[@DiegoAlejandro30]

Hey Zach! Great review as always. I do noticed that you said the React Foam on the shoe will bottom out faster than Lunarlon which may not be the case as Nike made React to address the notorious issue of Lunarlon bottoming out so fast. With that said, how do you compare the React midsole with the Kobe 8/9/11 lunarlon midsole?

[@FootDoctorZach]

Yeah that was a midspeak anyway just meant to say different densities of phylon - Id say these are more bulky but more plush too

[@user-cp4eq3nt6i]

This dude deserves more credit man is cutting it on half on brand new models of shoes while each shoes (for basketball) i just keep it on the box and admiring it while sniffing in occasions and only play it on clean court

[@FootDoctorZach]

[@CamTheHam]

I know that they are old but can you review the lebron 18, cuz no one goes as in depth as you

[@beno6198]

My Kobe 9s with the lunar lon did the same thing but once I sank into them. I played better, quicker and with more reaction time in many occasions including my drives to the basket

[@micahladaga1812]

Great review! I'm planning on copping the bright crimson colorway but I have a question about it. Did the soles of your pair remain icy or did they turn yellow?

[@LordVlad2321]

I was looking forward to this review! Thank you Dr. Zach. I’ve loved react ever since it came out and I’ve been waiting for Nike to get it right on a basketball shoe. I will definitely pick up a pair of these. I have only slightly wide feet, would you still recommend I go up half a size?

As I told people before shoe tech today is way better than yesterday. If you are a professional athlete you should have an advisor or doctor as yourself, on what shoes is best for your health. I'm knew to your page and I'm so pleased with what you bring. Your credentials give you the advantage over other influencers but I will say do as many different but popular brand BASKETBALL SHOES and types of shoes from those brands as you can. Thanks doc! I knew shoes effect health, can be helpful or harmful!

[@FootDoctorZach]

Appreciate the kind words👍

[@The88Nomad]

I ordered a pair of Nike PG 6 and I should have them in 3-days time. A few weeks I bought Adidas Boost Harden Vol. 6. The Harden Vol. 6 were too flat, stiff and no grip! Too disappointing. Boooyyy, I'll ripping the court and dunking with these PG 6!!! I can't wait!

Can you make a video comparison of vertical potential of these hoop sneakers?.

Ok Doc thanks for the review. You were right about theses shoes!!! They look great but run hot as hell!!!!!!! I had to return them, me feet sweated just standing still. Thanks again.

[@sarab1404]

my son really likes pg6. what model should i buy him as nike will not release the pg7?

[@TyK1B]

Hey Zach, do you think you could review the upcoming Converse All Star BB Shift? Converse (owned by Nike) has been putting out some Kobe-like, low to the ground bball shoes, and these ones look like they'll have great traction, but I don't want to buy them without seeing your teardown and analysis first! Always look forward to seeing your bball shoe reviews.

[@FootDoctorZach]

Yeah for sure I’ll review them sometime soon- still working through a backlog

[@lambrosrigas8746]

Not on this channel- maybe on my apres tennis channel once I get it up and running more consistent

[@amalreddyallampati296]

hey man! awesome vid btw. can you tell me which shoes you would recommend for outdoor hooping with good bounce with it aswell

[@FootDoctorZach]

My favorite outdoor shoes are the Nike GP turbo - its a court shoe but you can check them out here geni.us/FDZTP

[@cruzergg]

Another banger Doc! Do you think the PG 6 or the KD 15 is better for bigger players? (6’4 230)

[@FootDoctorZach]

If I had to say one prob the 15

[@thebasketballshoesYoutube]

Another very detailed review doc zach 👌🏼

[@FootDoctorZach]

Thanks for hanging out on the channel 👍

[@generosopaz621]

Just curious, do you buy more than one pair of bball shoes? One for you to use to play with and one to cut in half? Awesome review!!!

[@FootDoctorZach]

Usually just one- use it for a few weeks then cut

[@katyrebel18]

I subbed to you because I have plantar fasciitis and love basketball shoes. Can you make a video or do you have one for people with wide flat feet?

[@FootDoctorZach]

Yes coming up soon

[@rogermeyer860]

Great review Zach...these may be may next hoop shoe. I have some heal/achilles pain and hoping the cushion is better than my Jordan 36's, which i like, but the toe box is too tight and I miss the low tops.

[@kennethmicabani2850]

Doc Zach which is good PG 6 or CURRY 4 FLOTRO? your answer is a really big help thanks 😁

[@FootDoctorZach]

Watch both reviews and see which one meets your needs best - one not better than the other just different

[@mikolajstrozewski]

Great review, detailed as always. Would you say these are the best shoes for dunking?

[@tobias960]

Wont make a different which basketball shoes you wear for dunking. Your muscles make you dunk not shoes.

[@mikolajstrozewski]

Of course it makes a difference. Why do you think Cole Anthony dunking in Timberlands in this year's contest was supposed to impress people? Sure, muscles do the dirty work, but it's the shoe's job to make you confident and comfortable. A pair's weight, traction, stability and cushioning are the determining factors whether you can dunk safely and efficiently or not. If you think that's not the case - try dunking barefoot, then in dress shoes, and then put on a pair of good basketball shoes and compare your vertical.

[@tobias960]

@@mikolajstrozewski i am talking basketball shoes. Are timbs basketball shoes ?

[@gregscott6430]

I own them since watching this video. They are super comfortable. What is the purpose of the extra hole at the top of the shoe? Is that just a design choice or does it have a purpose?

[@FootDoctorZach]

Custom lacing- stronger runners knot

They will be great for a while - just bottom out faster so if you dont mind replacing them then you'll love em- if not then maybe look for a heavier shoe

Hey doc!. Always love your videos man. I sometimes download them so I can watch them during the wee hours of work. But I'm curious tho.. Do fake shoes (OEM or UA) have the same tech? Like if I cut open a fake nike. Would there be a zoom unit inside? Or say a fake adidas boost. Would the boost feel like the real boost?

[@edgarstevenmatira5256]

OEM means Original Equipment Manufacturing and UA means Unauthorized Authentic

[@redbean2705]

Is this a low or mid cut shoe? Are low cut shoes more susceptible to ankle injuries when compared to mid and high cut shoes?

[@FootDoctorZach]

Its a lower mid- not really, having more material helps but its more about the stability of the mid and outsole plus your own body

[@MD-qo5dm]

How fast will they bottom out ? Looking for shoe to train/practice in that’s lightweight.

[@sadie1150]

Hi, not a baller here. Would you say these are comfortable enough to walk around a theme park for hours? I think I've given up on regular shoes.
