Is The Puma All-Pro Nitro Elite REALLY Worth $250? ( Performance Review)

[@FootDoctorZach]

Check out my new sport and recovery slide! : geni.us/fdzslide

Yes 😊

The streets have been waiting for this review.

Glad I can help

[@oceancycloneblue5356]

Zach break dancing was not on my bingo card this year.🤣

[@liaowalnuts]

Doc you're delivering the content i didn't know i needed. Was checking the all pro nitro on footlocker and saw these being waaaaay higher than other ones and i thought it was pricing mistake. I thought to myself, surely the colourway don't make them worth that price... i'm about to find out from you!

[@liaowalnuts]

so turns out they aren't worth it to the average guy. thought that if i paid $250 it will take my 5/10 game to 6/10 but i don't think it will do that. Maybe the next $400 ones will!

[@FootDoctorZach]

Lol maybe

[@jozopo]

puma really setting prices by the tech in the shoe rather than actual performance and build.

[@CybertroninfiniteOfficial]

tbh, the shoe will get heavily discounted in the future. At 250$, it's an ok shoe. Once it goes on sale for 100-150$, we are talking about god tier performance for the price

[@jefferrrson1x]

Sounds like a $250 co-pay at Urgent Care due to the grip. I’m good Puma. Until Lamelo is 100% healthy for just one szn, then I’ll come back.

[@Thatkidwally]

Good thing Lamelo isn’t gonna play in these😂 I’ll wait to see what Halliburton plays in before I think about the purchase

[@Jim-Halp1234]

You can pick any brand you want and find a player with ankle injuries. Did you stop wearing all nikes early on in curry's career when his wouldn't stay right? Goofy take.

[@jefferrrson1x]

@@Jim-Halp1234 goofy take? nah, i own the Puma Melo 2's and they sit high and don't feel stable at all. i sold them immediately after two games. i own all kinds of brands so it isn't brand specific. I haven't worn a Puma shoe that IS stable. maybe you have, but i haven't bc i'm goofy. Curry's issues was his ankles themselves. LaMelo is his shoes AND his goofy footwork/biomechanics. Goofy out.

[@ericq9049]

Jeremy Sallee designed Puma Hoops shoes are some of my favorites to play in. The textile builds stand up to abuse, the padding often makes the fit feel 1 to 1 on me, and sometimes the cushioning combos are perfect for my style.

[@Makemelew]

Now like the video and subscribe so doc can get his money back because this shoe is 250$! I still love my non elite

[@FootDoctorZach]

Haha

[@Richard-Reloaded]

@@FootDoctorZach puma has a 20% off employee for medical personnel through ID me. You should've been able to get these for 200 with the discount.

[@Sidcito]

Thanks, doc! The Kobe 9 comparison might justify the price, but because of the same lateral traction issue (I plant hard off two feet to jump) I'm gonna pass this time. Big fan of the regular All Pro Nitro, have two pairs.

[@zer0apologies936]

Can you do the serious player only ranger 1…it’s an interesting shoe and have crazy potential.

[@RE1GN_BLOOD]

Aesthetically they’re awesome!

[@niddelsarmiento4608]

And performance...? Not "Elite" at all...

[@FootDoctorZach]

Yeah they look slick for sure

[@spencerkogut107]

Looking forward to that AG5 review!

[@MasterJPzilla]

Can't wait for an AG5 review!

[@neospiderman2165]

Your point about footwork is why kobe shoes and kyrie shoes are different and reflected how both player types move and dribble on the court

[@JDexia]

No way you're flashing the AG5, i need the review before i import 😭

[@DW-es3iy]

5:40 “In West Philadelphia born and raised” 😂

[@Qriusme]

I don't understand companies that don't do enough testing on their products. The grip is one of the primary factors. If I was running Puma, I'd make sure I'm testing with different outsoles with different players in diff play styles in both dusty and really good courts.

[@niensian]

the new studio somehow makes zach look 10 years younger in vibes. nice!

[@FootDoctorZach]

Now if I was actually 10 yrs younger I’d really have something

[@Khyberization]

The Way of Wade 808 3 ultra v2 are $150, and it seemed the ultras were far more breathable and bouncier. Hard to justify 250 on these.

[@rxplaced5095]

I own a pair of them they’re are incredible

[@CybertroninfiniteOfficial]

I have those, they are not as breathable as you think too lol

[@rxplaced5095]

@@CybertroninfiniteOfficial what do you suggest ?

[@CybertroninfiniteOfficial]

@@rxplaced5095 the ones Wade uses are the WoWs 10-11-12 , etc. they're pretty great

[@冠賢-f1o]

Hi Doctor Zach, I have a request. Could you please make a video discussing the impact of fashion shoes, like the Jordan 1 Low or Samba, on people's feet? Many people, including myself, wear these types of shoes for style and everyday walking. However, I'd like to know what steps or actions I can take to protect my feet when wearing these shoes. Thanks

[@sss-8901]

I wanted it to help with the bounce test, i.e. more shock absorption and jump power, but the bounce is not good... I hope the next version will be around 45-50.

[@cappy2282]

$250 damn that's insulting

[@CybertroninfiniteOfficial]

It's a pro level shoe, what's insulting?

[@deejaay]

For that $ amount, I would like to see a vs with Li-Ning Gamma, WOW 11, Li-Ning Yushuai 18 Hi/Lo and Li-Ning JB2.

[@lawcager0073]

traction's color (and maybe materials) is something like Jordan Zion 2s Purple Crimson.

[@as-Sabr739]

I wonder why Puma moved to a drop in style shoe when the TRC Blazers court and the Nitro Rise were so good. These and the new Stewie seems like regression for the brand.

[@oldboysfreshkickz]

That fall was pure comedy!

[@mrrandom5438]

Hi Zach, hopefully you can review the way of wade shadow 6

[@user-me1mv4vy9q]

Can u review the puma magmax nitro? I heard its one of the most comfy running shoes. Or the puma fast, one of the craziest looking shoes dat people say is their best runner

[@rainyull]

hey doc could u review some volleyball shoes as well? i feel like there isnt a lot of coverage on anything other than asics shoes and the vb community is getting pretty big

[@edthomas4155]

These are $350 in Australia. Def wait for the sales

[@LalremruataSailo-uf6mp]

in your opinion which is better converse trilliant cx or the all pro nitro?

[@ballintime7810]

Question: what’s the reason you can’t put an orthotic on top of a drop in? I’ve tried my orthotics in my Kobe 9 elites as just a try on and it feels comfortable with no heel slippage. Never tried a drop in due to my orthotics (high arches with 1st metatarsal head pain that gets deep blisters without my orthotics) would a drop-in midsole be worth a try with no orthotics or should I avoid them as a whole?

[@SAMK6IX7EVEN]

It's like putting 2 orthotics in your shoe... your drop-in is your orthotic

[@pochen86]

Whats the benefit you think this elite is better? the carbon plate is not working as the other? I will get one as they "on sale" then.

[@differentstrokes6795]

What would you say is the best hoop shoe for a Taylor’s bunion that isn’t a 2E?

[@jasonirving4255]

When you say hair long, what exactly does that mean?

[@mikhailcc]

yeah… 90 at best - was excited for the tech of this shoe but i guess the execution of it didn’t turn out well :/

[@parkerlx2578]

Definitely not a $250 shoe. The Nike Foamposite One was considered years ahead of its time, and those too were outrageous at $180 in 1997. I look at the Nitro Elite and basically see the All-Pro Nitro with a flimsy carbon shank inside. With an original MSRP for the All-Pro Nitro around $130, I think the Elite has a more realistic price tag around $150-160.

[@TheWacoKidd44]

What did you think of the tongue texture? That was my first time experiencing something like that

[@FootDoctorZach]

It was cool- nothing earth shattering but I liked these padding

[@TheWacoKidd44]

@@FootDoctorZach I feel like it would be a cool feature to have in the heel of the shoe to prevent heel slip

[@kidproduction6720]

If this drop in midsoles fits into Kobe 8s protro, omg

[@salihomer29]

Does it feel similar to the kobe 11?

[@isaaccouch6238]

Serious player only review ever coming?

[@alanperez.8826]

So they're good for players that supinate

[@Arip1010_Official]

Wow it really sucks that the traction on the court can just let you slip out. Sucks because the shoe actually seems really cool otherwise

[@FootDoctorZach]

Yep and the traction is fine as long as you keep foot flat

[@thahoopcentral]

250 for any shoe is crazy

[@RoderickUsher-r3y]

These are $50 more than Way of Wade 10, let that sink in 😂 Puma thinks we’re fools

[@tysonchitty]

Zach why haven’t you done the AR Battle 2s you loved the Ar 1s

[@FootDoctorZach]

Because I'm one person and can only do one video at a time - tryin my best here

[@domdomayee]

My two goats (weartesters & Zach) have different traction opinions on these what do I do 😭

[@FootDoctorZach]

Also remember he probably has much more tuned and consistent footwork than I do

[@brianbanks3044]

$250 for a non-Stock X or Flight or GOAT shoe is a little much....people pay this for shoes that are hard to find AND are great...that slippage on the floor is a go-to move for 90% of basketball players

[@Bjackp]

I’m not spending 250$ on most shoes let alone a puma shoe!

[@deejaay]

I see kids slipping and sliding in Puma all the time. They just like the loud colors and popular team shoes.

This seems like a lot of compromises for $250

갑자기 너무 비싸졌어... 전 시리즈는 가격에 딱 맞는느낌이였는데...

But why they make an "elite" shoes with a drop in midsole ?? 90% of the elite players need to wear orthopedic sole. And when you remove the drop in midsole to replace it with your orthopedic sole... what do you have left ?? NOTHING !!!
