Coach Donny! Have you looked into sponsorships or partnerships? I think you would an ideal candidate, what with your background in sports and art... kind of like how Dr. Mike had a sponsorship with Nike to test their new shoe, the React Infinity Run. He did what you did here, gave his two cents on its design and performance, and uses the shoe as he trains for a marathon.

[@vincenth2890]

If he had sponsorships/partnership he wouldnt be able to review other brand tho right ?

[@vincenth2890]

@@ElevateYourselfOfficial like a "signature" shoe ? a partnership to make your own shoe design coach ?

[@alfayusak8733]

Coach Donny, about the bubbles you asked, that's the Mizuno Wave & U4icX Technologies for the shoes' mid-soles. As you said, they were there to add bounciness and reduce the forces we receive upon landing. I guess, the placement was designed for slim footed players rather than wide footed. So, it is more of players' preferences I guess. 😊. One of my team mates has a wider foot and when he tried the wave momentum, he said it feels funny upon landing or even sliding to a broad attack/wipe. Nonetheless, I am quite comfortable with the shoes right now because I have a rather slim and long feet. I have been wearing the shoes since the beginning of ProLeague in my country and will probably keep wearing the wave momentum till the end of the season. Afterall, we don't have any sponsors for shoes this year. Probably because of the pandemic. Even the rest of the season are postponed because of political matters 😭 Thanks for uploading, I'm your faithful subscriber. 😁

How is the shock absorption? I went to basketball shoes years ago for volleyball for their cushion. Need a new pair. Thought I'd come back to volleyball specific shoes and see if they've improved. I've got knee problems and need something to reduce impact when landing

[@fluxkompensat0r711]

Hi Coach Donny. I enjoyed this review. Very informative and helpful. I recently got the Mizuno Wave Tornado shoe and was wondering if you had heard anything about that one. They are still somewhat new (used 3 times so far) and now I am wondering if I should return them and pick up these shoes you reviewed instead, as they sound very good for me (I like a softer shoe feel and have wide feet).

Coach donny , Greetings , i have a suggestion for your next video . Can you explain how volleyball tactics work ? Thank you so much .

[@GenoCideWalk]

Hey coach! It's hard to come by a volleyball shoe that is both accessible and can stand up to basketball shoe performance. I coach a U15 team and parents are always asking what the best shoes to buy for a good price. Ever since the Nike Zoom Rize 2 came out the older model has been heavy discounted and that is what I've been referring them too. Very accessible in open box stores and amazing price to performance. Just a suggestion if you want to try out one of those shoes, they have incredible bounce!

[@alilingvinz1855]

Love the review coach!! Hope you can also review some of the other Mizuno and Asics shoes that would be really great:))

[@KeeperOLight]

When they first came out I didn't buy right away. I found out that different country's got different exclusive colours. I'm in Canada and for a while our exclusive was the red and grey variant. I didn't buy them or the original blue orange and white. But I found Australia had the black and green that I love from my wave stealth 3's. I had to have a friend ship them to me from Aus though because Mizuno wouldn't ship overseas. I ended up also buying a pair of the red and grey for when my green ones wear out. I really love them!

[@jlmrl44]

Great video, thank you!

[@sokysin5737]

Hey coach, you should check out the converse pro bb. It’s my favorite shoes by far. It has great grip on different court and really really fast on your feet. Might not have a lot of cushion but it doesn’t bother me. Extremely light shoes.

Hi! Could you make a video about serving zones? Like which zone is most effective for points and why? Thank you!!

Zone 1 is the best zone to serve for points. This is the hardest set as a setter when ball is recieved from a serve.

Can someone recommend shoes with great shock absorb, cause recently my feet always start aching after 2 hours Training

[@Eclecticword]

they're great, ive been wearing them for about a year and a half and just now feel like its losing some of it

[@vincenth2890]

from his videos, adidas pro bounce have the best shock absorption

[@spencerkim692]

it could be an arch problem, most shoe stores have a way to test your feet and whether you might need arch supports

[@lockse098]

@@spencerkim692 oh okay

[@tomosato7788]

Foot pain can come from both bad shock absorption and a lack of arch support. Some people need extra inserts for arch support. For shoes, I think Adidas Boost is the best for shock absorption in general, and you might look into a basketball shoe like the older D Rose line or some of the the Crazylight ones from 2018 or before on ebay.
