Whats underneath the New Balance Hesi Low basketball shoe? Check them out for yourself with this deep dive on court playtest, review, teardown and durability test. As a foot doctor I look at basketball shoes and basketball shoe 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 shoe playtest, and performance review of the New Balance Hesi Low
- The weight, durability, fit and playability
- What are the features of the insole, midsole, and outsole
- New Balance basketball shoe technology explained

[@KiddAlways]

it's almost impossible to watch another performance sneaker channel after watching your videos. they take info from sites and talk about it and that's it. you are the coolest mad scientist type with the smoke, the hybrid shoes you make sometimes, the actual play on court. i mean hands down the best

[@FootDoctorZach]

I appreciate you-I’m trying my best over here

[@grahamcarmichael6567]

Tommy Liu is also goated but yea Zach is the best.

[@kumimukimu]

The grip test is so cool. Appreciate you always trying new things to make your reviews more informative!!

[@FootDoctorZach]

Thanks!

[@dancingbowrito7840]

Cool new grip test! I think it would be neat if you could add a top-down shot of how your feet fit the toe box area of the shoe to help with the fitting section of the video.

[@c0mpuipf]

i have to say i really like the color theme in your videos: dark studio which is eye friendly and then when you present the shoe in all it's glory you have a palette of colors, very well done; i like the tennis shoe reviews more but always keen on learning how the hoopers are doing it

[@FootDoctorZach]

Thank you- I agonized about my backdrop for a while so this makes me feel very good

[@gojira2404]

Your hairs looking really nice doc! Love the idea of the grip test and showing us a sneak peak of what shoe you're reviewing next.

[@FootDoctorZach]

Thanks thanks and thanks

[@paulmcwhite5388]

These are great. Bought a pair last week. Waiting on that Sketchers review from you.

[@Chef_Benny11]

Hi Zach, I love your videos. Can you please review the Serious Player Only Player 1 Plus

[@sebastianherrera2851]

First time stumbling across your channel, and I’m glad I did. Love the scientific approach! I’m a wide footer I’m glad you shed some light at least on that

[@FootDoctorZach]

Welcome to the sneakerverse

[@chrisworland7754]

looking forward to seeing if you investigate the hesi low v2

[@scottgates7810]

Could you please review the 530 & 2002r would love to see your thoughts on these 2 pair's love your reviews 👌

[@samrmills]

i like that grip test

[@basketball_is_everything]

you gotta do a most comfortable basketball shoe video

[@wilt3051]

Cool new test tbh

[@ianstandley297]

Great review again, so detailed with multiple tests. I’m currently wearing cosmic unity 1s and love them but they are coming to the end of their life What’s the best shoe for a 6’3 heavy set guy who likes good support and cushion but also low/mid tops ?

[@FootDoctorZach]

Check this video out and see which meshes with your foot and game kzbin.info/www/bejne/a2qweKalpM-Biq8

[@austinmanriquez9966]

I got a pair of the gamertag and I them a lot, good for movement. I use them indoor

[@Vincent_gamer29]

Can you review the new serious player only game 1? I heard some people say it's good, but some said they don't like it so I don't know if I should buy it or not. Love your videos!!

[@FootDoctorZach]

Maybe at some point

[@Sun_Hui_VySun]

Hello everyone, please tell me what kind of sneakers is suitable for playing basketball after an ankle fracture

[@dooofyfam6214]

Hey Zach, I am a subscriber to your channel. Love your content. Just wanted to ask you a quick question since I know you are a podiatrists as well. I have a pair of Way of Wade 10 and every time I hoop in them I have a metatarsal pain on my left ball foot and heel pain on my right. Can you tell me what’s going on? 

[@FootDoctorZach]

No idea you need an exam

[@brianliu1080]

You should review the prime x strung 2

[@twotex4235]

Need that hesi low vol 2. They got it in 2E

[@mleolv426]

Grip test is interesting. What about sitting the shoes on a heated base for a bit before doing it so it simulates a warm sole.

[@FootDoctorZach]

I just want to see how the shoe as a whole does out of the box.

[@chuahchorngyou5705]

Hi could you do the kyrie flytrap 6

[@mjhonsun]

I like the grip test and I think you explained the constants and variables pretty well here. Still controversial to comment section experts who only viewed the shorts, I guess.

[@FootDoctorZach]

Yeah I don’t really understand the “add weight” comments that can’t say how much or how much slope to compensate with or can’t figure out that a shoes weight distribution effects grip on its own…

[@franciscofirmo5588]

Hey zach can u test the Adidas bouce legends please? 🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷

[@KyNguyenfit]

Could you improve the grip test by doing a side by side of a “clean” court and a “dusty” court?

[@FootDoctorZach]

LOL id love to but at the same time its just me doing all this- tough to get super into the weeds with it

[@Noah_wef]

Will you do a review of the Puma All-Pro Nitro?

[@tnyce616]

Yes please

[@grahamcarmichael6567]

Already did

[@oOblistexOo]

Love the new Grip Test! Really cool idea!

[@noahwootten5734]

that is the coolest puffer i have ever seen and i wish i knew where i could buy it lol

[@FootDoctorZach]

Marine Layer

[@dunsdonjone1537]

Do you know if tennis point will get new colors of FILA Speedserve Energizeds next year or has that line been discontinued? (The 2023 versions were way better than the 2022 versions btw) Last time I called them regarding future product availability, it was about the Diadora Finale and the Torneos. They said they won't have newer colors. You then said that they actually will and wouldn't you know it, new colors for the Torneos/Finales appeared so I trust you more now than their actual service representatives 😅

[@FootDoctorZach]

Haha I actually have no idea- I’m working with Tennis Warehouse currently so I have no updates on that front

[@dunsdonjone1537]

@@FootDoctorZach do you know if the WAREHOUSE will have new ones then? :o

[@steverosen8644]

How do you think these would work as tennis shoes? They look great

[@FootDoctorZach]

They’re very very similar to the 996 just not as comfortable

[@harrymejia205]

Is big 3 4.0 pro good?

[@FootDoctorZach]

No idea

[@MikkiV]

Are you reviewing hesi low v2?

[@twotex4235]

Hope so

[@RossTheNinja]

They look like Lego. I'd still try them if new balance ever do a wide fit in the UK. So probably not.

[@neospiderman2165]

Looking at the new grip test the grip on the melo may have led to lamelo various injuries His shoes are shaped weird in terms of outsole curvature n thr grip is not that good its slippery n grip at the same time

[@michaelp9061]

This is more of a pokemon shoe. Heh
