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
- Jordan Brand basketball shoe technology explained

Love your work man 👌 would love to see a review for Kobe 5 Protro and Kobe X Low 🙏🙏

[@theKiddAlways]

i always look forward to these videos. unlike everyone else who does videos about performance, you actually show everything in the sneaker. hands down my favorite sneaker page.

[@FootDoctorZach]

Thank you!

[@Airbreezy23]

Zach literally the goat at this, i played for years in the wrong shoes, finding this page I really feel like I’ve learned which shoes I’ll preform my best in. That’s so clutch being an athlete and being able to be more productive and my feet aren’t all beat up knees did a complete 180 I thought my dunking days were behind me, I had the wrong size and wrong shoe for the kinda of player iam . I been telling all my team mates about their shoes and they agree their preforming better by not just wearing shoes they hooped n ran in for years

[@m.1161]

Dude your testing is crazy, unparalleled. I wouldn’t even think to ask you to test the bounce of the foam but it gives incredibly insightful info. I hope this channel goes to the moon

[@FootDoctorZach]

Thanks 🌙

[@devilofgenisis]

hey zach, please keep up the good work! I always look forward to your videos, i’ve been watching multiple sneaker review channels since I was in middle school and now i’m about to graduate college. I’ve watched kickgenius back in the day, classic nightwing, sammy from soledrop and so many more but to be honest, I think you’re my favorite. You’re so detailed and provide SO much information. I love the cut in half that you do, the science that you conduct, and the effort that you put into each review. Please do not disappear like so many of these reviewers have! You are awesome!

[@FootDoctorZach]

Haha if I disappear I hope someone comes looking for me- thank you 👍👍

[@jchung1506]

Good morning, Zach. Very informative review as always. I really appreciate your efforts in quantifying the various aspects of the shoes to evaluate its performance. The URS rating system is a great idea. Of all the basketball shoe reviewers that are out there, I trust your analysis the most since you take a scientific approach to the subject. Great work! 👍👍👍

[@FootDoctorZach]

I appreciate you 👟🧪

[@cannonsmith157]

Zach this stuff is awesome. I really like the development of your reviews. Not getting this shoe but still interesting to see. Im really excited about the wade all city 11 though

[@bonezilla7]

This is a great video showing plenty of data. Thank you.

[@mtfenimore]

Incredible technical and scientific review. Never seen this level of thoroughness - first time viewer and now a new subscriber!

[@FootDoctorZach]

Welcome to the sneakerverse

[@aminasshaari7109]

Feel like going back to school with the bounce test and URS. Great review as always. Hopefully this would be forgiving for my creaking old knees 😅

[@FootDoctorZach]

Glad you liked it!

[@dancingbowrito7840]

Happy 100k subscribers doc! Truly deserved

[@FootDoctorZach]

Thanks !

[@jjsansano]

Whoa..:this is some great research and shoe testing. Great Job’

[@rdivita24]

I like the 37s for how I play and haven't had any issues with them. Looking to try these out to see if I notice an increase in cushion as well. Thanks

[@gordonwalser7184]

Thanks for the great work.

[@darkhalf81]

Hey Doc! Awesome vid as always, ever knowledgeable and great delivery on every technical details based on actual experience wearing them. Are these kicks true to size?!

[@dennylin5120]

Thank you for the review! I love the 37, I am on my second pair and will get 3rd pair soon!

[@191samuellalramsanga7]

This shoe.... been waiting for this 🔥🔥🔥

[@jeromeparayno1296]

That ball bearing bounce test is awesome! Now that you're incorporating it, it would be pretty interesting to do a recap of all the previous tested shoes 😀

[@FootDoctorZach]

At some point I will

[@vatsxn511]

I like the URS, still I would love if you include the old jump height tests. Also congrats on almost 100K 🥳

[@lawrenceco1548]

Very nice informative review as usual. Will get a pair because of this. Me and my friends consider you as the best performance shoe reviewer for some time now because of your more scientific approach. But now, with this new rating system and how you measure everything, you just blew by everyone else by leaps and bounds (pun intended 😁) Me and my friends love trying a lot of different shoe every year for basketball and we also watch your reviews before we buy any.

[@FootDoctorZach]

I appreciate that!

[@michaelmarks9002]

The new tests are amazing. The new system is great. You rule Zach.

[@FootDoctorZach]

Thanks !

[@seouleshoes]

Love the look of these, and as a flat footer I'm sure I'd enjoy them. To me, double stacked Zoom is unreal, but can take time getting used to (unless you're already used to that, or Unlocked Zoom like they had on some of the older Jordan models in the 2010s.) Definitely nice for those who like to play more explosive or need that impact protection.

[@Anon.G]

What? If you like to play explosive then you want less cushion

[@seouleshoes]

@@Anon.G I think it comes down to preference honestly haha. But curious to hear your thoughts! For me I feel like double stacked, slightly protruding, or full length cushions have been my go to for doing so, more so due to the consistent bounce back/spring effect I get.

[@Anon.G]

@@seouleshoes I just sink into the huge cushion, look at what pro dunker's wear, they like shoes like Kobe's, good court feel. The cushion is an energy sink. Nobody dunks in a thick soled lebron.

[@seouleshoes]

@@Anon.G Hahaa, there's guys who rock Brons for sure, Jordan Kilganon being one of them, but to each their own. Kobe's are just a helluva hoop shoe line and think it's a universally fun line to play in, regardless of style of play. I got some Protro and OG 1s, the 10 lows, OG 6s, etc.

[@Anon.G]

@@seouleshoes maybe he dunked in them 5-10 years ago, when the cushion wasn't as crazy, but he dunks in the air Jordan 36 now

[@byakuyacooper]

Quality content. Please do a review on harden vol 7

[@shayp3kicks395]

Great video. The rating system is real nice!!!

[@FootDoctorZach]

Thanks!

[@Harmacist17]

If you were to pick between the 37 Low and the Luka 1’s, which would you go? I’m torn since they each seem to have their advantages and disadvantages

[@dunkkid23]

How did you get these so early?!! Great review, I’m definitely getting a pair!

[@zabadooz.9751]

Waiting for a different colorway and a sale. Once we get those, I'm all over this shoe! 😁

[@wadec6799]

Nike has this colorway on sale with code spring20 can get em for 119 these do look better in person tried em on last night bit with that I'd be Goin with vthe blue or upcoming bred colorway

[@Airbreezy23]

Yo Zach what video, do you mention your reservations about the formula 23 foam? I was really impressed with the Luka shoe I jump noticeably higher in that shoe vs comparable shoes that are Nike. Any particular reason you think ?

[@user-jw7kd1bj5t]

I love the ball rebounding test!!

[@FootDoctorZach]

Thanks!

[@LordVlad2321]

Cannot wait for the review of Either Peak Taichi Flash 4.0 from PEAK or AG 3 PRO from 361, those are 🔥💯

[@theGalaxyfox75]

I like the new rebound test although I would also still keep the jump height test...

[@FootDoctorZach]

Only so many hours in the day haha

[@HavoXtreme]

The rebound test is more scientific and objective. Even if Doctor Zach is having an off day or other external factirs are present, the rebound test won't fluctuate like the jump height test

[@flossyfeets7305]

Great video I just got these when they released played in them they are kinda snug in the toe box

[@JC-se8mi]

Mind officially blown 🤯 with the use of the Accelerometer. The tongue and lace line kinda look like the Zoom Separate’s.

[@brianmunroe7117]

I got a wide, flat foot. I had a pair of AJ36 but they destroyed my pinky toe.. I'm currently hooping in Bron 7s. I'm not sure how much the insoles make a difference but I always put my Move insoles into my hoop shoes. In what order would you rank these 3 shoes for my type of foot : AJ37 Low, Luka 2, or upcoming Kobe 8 protro?

[@Mo.guechi06]

Can you do a review on the why not 0.4 please i just got them and i want to know how good they are and what to expect

[@Ron-ul2gt]

Very good video, and info about the 37 low. How's the arch support on these

[@FootDoctorZach]

Thanks- I talk about it in the fit section for each foot type

[@kevinfennelljr]

For an off the dribble and stand still jump shooter would you recommend the Jordan 37 Low over the Kyrie Infinity?

[@suuushicat]

When @FootDoctorZach gives the sizing fits, is it based off of your court shoes size or the sizing from the branock device? I watched your video on finding the right size for your shoes video and wasn't sure

[@jrodzilla24]

Yeah, I bought the 37 retrurned them .. bought the 38s the bottom peeled on both pairs ..I’ll try these now !

[@FootDoctorZach]

Haha you may want to think about going to another brand- i think you may have some bad blood between you and the Jordans

[@pixelbit3920]

For a 6’8’, about 210 center would you recommend the 37’s or the lows or just a different shoe

[@mlopsxbt]

Great review Zach - just a quick question, did you get the PF version of these or the regular version?

[@FootDoctorZach]

Regular

[@zekefrancisco2122]

Quality content. Top notch. Great growth with your content, very informative.

[@FootDoctorZach]

Thanks !

[@MopaMcGee]

I’m looking for a shoe for someone with hallux rigidus. My Dr recommended wide and stiff shoes. Using the guide on your site (great resource btw!) I narrowed it down to these or the way of wade 10s. Is there a shoe I’m overlooking? Is it common to have a full length carbon fiber insert in a basketball shoe?

[@okank3591]

Thanks for a great review. I wear 42.5 eur in nike air max, what size should I buy for this jordan 37 lows?

[@jkyligarciaisaac1236]

Doc what do you prefer jordan 36 low or jordan 37 low

[@jpp5485]

Hey Great Video! I'm wondering, do you think these Jordan 37 lows, or maybe the Lebron 20, could be used for tennis??? I am so disappointed that the new Nike Vapor 11 has NO shank. It's like embarrassing. What's so special they want $210 (CDN) for it. I'd rather spend the money on Lebron's or Jordan's. Well, your videos are so helpful for someone like me who goes through 5+ pairs per year, between basketball and tennis, especially when these shoes change and advanced so regularly. Keep it up Zach!

[@jesusagustiniii]

some of your videos have the jump height test but this doesn't, did this shoe help increase your jump height? thanks!

[@ultrametro254]

Hey I have an orthopedic inserts and have really bad pain at my arch with my current shoes (kyries) because they aren’t complete flat and it makes the insert tilt. Are the Jordan’s in this video flat and should I go up half a size because I don’t want to risk feeling discomfort again? Thank you!

[@HaimingTheKing]

Hey zach 😀😀 This Video was really interesting. What shoe do you think would be the best for ppl with flatfoot?

[@BrunoVieira-dq3th]

Seem great to boxing! Got my black/red one's 🤩

[@tonyc4256]

For point guard, medium fit, runs and cuts a lot, should I choose this or Jordan one take 4?

[@rogermeyer860]

I just picked up a pair of these but unfortunately they don't fit. I went up a 1/2 size but the toe box and width still to small/narrow. I'll stick with my Dame 8's which work well with my achilles tendinitis and bone spur. I loved my Jordan 36's prior to injury but painful to wear now:( Do you have any other low top recommendation that would work as well/better than the Dame 8's?

[@playingindies6730]

Funny how channels often recommend going a half size down with narrow feet. I have long skinny feet, if I go half size down my toes are pretty much cramped in a shoe. I have a few shoes that were too wide but great in length, found a thin kind of insole that basically fits like a piece of cloth. But solves the problem completely (needed them for Nike Blazer, a few pairs of Vans and Air Force 1. If I get AF1 half size down, they are too small :/ With shoes that probably won't sell out on day 1 it's best to just go to the store and try them on.

[@lui047]

Doc, can you do the kyrie flytap 6 it says it has a nike zoom unit in it but it seems theres nothing..

[@user-dm9zp7ev7f]

where did you get the socks you are wearing at 1:50

[@chinotolentino5443]

Is this good with custom insoles?

[@jakemendiguarin2717]

Can you do a review on brandblack athletic shoes?

[@tonywong2735]

After trying on the regular AJ37 and finding them to be narrow, I too am pleasantly surprised to hear you describe the low cut iteration of the same shoe to be wide. I am curious about your opinion on the width of these shoes in relation to the PG 6, which is the most recent pair of Nikes that I find the fit to be comfortable. Thanks for your reply.

[@FootDoctorZach]

Maybe 90% of the width of the pg6

[@jimbokilo]

Many shoes now i find are too narrow, or run half a size too small.

[@SteveF69]

The most Jordan dad shoe ever!

[@firemanep]

I own 3 pairs. I use them for HIIT training. A1 performance in my opinion

[@qminh17]

which is better between jordan 37 vs 37 low?

[@pochen86]

You upgrade data, great tks will you back to the previous shoes in 2022 like to know them .

[@rockeredbunny]

KZbin doesnt need anyone else to review sneakers except of Zack. These are the real high quiality reviews.

[@FootDoctorZach]

Haha thanks- we all bring something different to the table

[@Kashsneakers]

Can you please elaborate why you think the 37 low is much better then the 37?

[@meliksahyazc5058]

Doctor Zach. I would be glad if you help me. My son is a 15 year old licensed basketball player. He has been playing basketball since he was 8 years old. We live in Turkey. My son has elastic flat sole problem in his foot. The doctors said it was okay for him to play basketball. When the foot is on the ground, it becomes a flat sole, when it is lifted, it becomes a normal sole. I may not be able to write correctly in English. Until last year, he always wore Jordan. (Jordan 4, jordan 11, jordan sapce jam 8 etc.) His feet and knees were sore after training. I researched last year. Kevin Durent also has flat feet. I bought Kd 14, my son's foot and knee pains are gone. But when viewed from behind, it looks like his foot is a little crooked. I bought it at Kd 15. My son didn't like it very much. My son jordan wants 36 or 37. What would you recommend? Should you buy insoles for flat soles and put them in shoes? His doctor said there is no need for such a thing. Should I get Jordan 36 or 37? What would you recommend? Or should we choose other than these models? Could it be pg or curry ? Since there are no Turkish subtitles in your videos, I have a hard time translating and understanding what you are saying. I would be very happy if you write a detailed answer. Thanks.

[@peterookotai6965]

i might use this for tennis, just wish they had that outrigger for propreoceptive feedback

[@FootDoctorZach]

Ehhh I’d be really scared to play tennis in these

[@crewperkins4167]

Review the Reebok more buckets

[@ritchieorton4927]

I've been playing Kobe 10s, at size 10.5, but would like to find something that fits similar to an 11. do you know if these fit similar in size to the Kobe 10s? Can't find them anywhere, except online.

[@Horstveratu]

I find it strange that everyone always says go true to size for Jordans/Nike I have a 9 in sneakers or maybe a 9.5 but in Jordans I need an 11, or I get blisters on my heel within like 5 Sprints that are so bad that they bleed, and I can't wear shoes for a Week... strange

[@thanatos4160]

Nice review doc zac. Was waiting for this shoe last year but when they announced that they would be releasing kobes, I'd rather go for those 😂😂

[@ChrisJamesBueno]

Quick question, while standing I cant feel the zoom on the forefoot unless I press my toes on it hard. I have played with my pair for atleast 5+ sessions already (alloted an estimate of 1hr per session) and often feel foot fatigue and sometimes shin splints. Am I too heavy to feel the zoom or do I need to break them in?

[@FootDoctorZach]

I’m guessing they aren’t supporting your foot shape enough

[@christopherpearson4172]

Hey Zach I just bought this shoe and I love the performance but the knuckle of my toes rubs against the ridge on the outside of the Leno weave making it very painful . Any ideas on how to fix this. Thanks

[@FootDoctorZach]

🤷‍♂️ depends on if they’re broken in yet

[@michaelhawes7185]

Anyone else have that pinching/poking feeling in the arch while wearing this? Not sure if it’s the arch support but it’s bothering me :( lengthwise and width wise it’s perfect tho (US12.5)

[@CarlitoCotares-bk1yj]

Is this good for wide feets?

[@J_Aaron_L]

While I'm no fan of either high or low... these seem to be the better option but I really just don't see the draw for the 37s, period. So many cheaper options that offer as much or more tech and look way better. Nonetheless, thanks for the breakdown and another great video.

[@jay_nev]

"much more tech" ... ha! can't be serious. Look at that forefoot set up..

[@J_Aaron_L]

@@jay_nev As much OR more tech... not "much more tech". Read my man, read. Also, that forefoot is made well but double stack isn't unique.

Neither better just different

[@bambaramba6509]

Why are they bad for outdoor courts?

It’ll be in the 2023 hoop shoe guide once I get it all added up and tabulated- it’s linked in the description

[@WizzyEli]

@@FootDoctorZach Oh okay! Thank you for letting me know!

How long do you wear a shoe before reviewing?

[@FootDoctorZach]

Few days to a few weeks - if its a similar model to something else ive tried i dont need as long in it and vice versa
