@@kristoffetan7021 imo yes. the quality from SoleDrop is just lazy since his partner departure. same lazy content, zero hoop footage, just some squeak tests which doesn’t bring much insights. I really hate the way he pronounce ‘traction’. as a subscriber since 2015, I’m both sad and disappointed that his channel has turned this way.
Nike's quantity over quality approach is really spreading the brand thin especially in the basketball space. They need way fewer signature athletes and more guys wearing the team shoes or GT series. More concentration would improve the product across the board.
I've always said the same thing! They are running out of designs/ideas for the signature athletes, because they have too many! Peak Nike Basketball was when only KD, LeBron, & Kobe were signature athletes. They should keep it to 3 only & let the others wear the GT series. The 3 Sig Athletes should be KD, LeBron, & Giannis. Giannis has been a top 3 player for 5 years now. His line has always been underwhelming aesthetically & performance-wise, he deserves way better. Imo, guys like Kyrie, PG, Booker, & Ja shouldn't have gotten signature shoes, at least not from Nike. From other brands it'll be okay, but Nike supposed to be the gold standard, & they haven't really done much to deserve their own sig. All of their designs could've gone towards Giannis' shoe line. Guys like Kobe, KD, LeBron, & Giannis have all been the best player in the league at some point, or at least top 3. Kyrie, PG, Booker, & Ja hasn't come close. Giannis didn't even get his shoe until he won his first MVP.
The GT series is ironically a lot better than most of their signature shoes, especially if you know what you are looking for. I've loved the Jump 2, Hustle 2, and Hustle 3. Energetic cushioning thanks to ludicrous amounts of zoom air.
The fact that this shoe has a midfoot shank and the flagship shoe does not tells me that Nike has too many people designing and making decisions about footwear that don’t know anything about footwear.
@@NinjaFoodieGrill23 it has a single shank. I think Dr. Zach called “double thickness” or something like that, but it’s a single shank. Besides that it’s an incredibly cheap flimsy shoe. It’s nice to try on but there’s almost no substance to it at all. That doesn’t change anything about what’s going on with the Freak line. Whoever is in charge of that has no clue what they’re doing. Each shoe has successively gotten more cheap and lazy since the 3, but they’re still raising the price every year.
The immortality line has been a huge hit for Nike. As a teacher, it’s a great looking, affordable, and good performing athletic shoe. They’re widely available, come in sizes all the way from preschool to adult, and come in all kinds of attractive colourways.
Love this immortality line, my son got his in April & played a lot of tennis + pickleball and the grip lasted until November. Great value shoes for sure! Love your videos because they’re more science based, thank you!
Let me share with you my personal experience with the 4s. They took 3-4 weeks to break in, something which I find absolutely hilarious. Secondly - I've got narrow feet and the metal/plastic whatever they are, eyelets were hurting my feet during the break in period, like crazy. Shoes cost $80, for $20 more I got Splashes that are crazy comfortable straight off the box and are just far superior, in my opinion. I don't see myself buying any Giannis shoes anytime soon and Nikes - definitely not as many as I used to!
Man I can't understand how nike can make this shoe and sell it for 85 bucks and then turn around and put out what they put out for $150 overall. It doesn't make sense. Especially knowing that they will have the immortality line on sale for 65 bucks in a couple months.
unfortunately, it's all business and making money for stakeholders. A kid who is a Giannis fan will buy the signature model over the budget model every day. $150 > $85 = Great for Nike.
Loving all the information and all the videos so far, especially the ones relating to the shoes I already own. I have to hoop in shoes that have full foot cushioning so I will be picking up a pair of the Way Of Wade 12's soon. Are you planning on reviewing the Jordan Stay Loyal 3's? I have checked your videos and couldn't find it.
For anyone wondering there's a 3rd triple black color but for some reason is only listed for sale at Dick's sporting goods, Famous footwear and Shoe carnival right now.
Honestly I'm not surprised that Immortality 4 is slightly better than main model Freak 6 since it's based on Immortality 3 when nike cares a lil bit more than now. I wouldn't be also surprised if Dame Certified 3 will be better than Dame 9. By the way, do you have Decathlon in US? Their Tarmak Fast 900 low looks promissing. Isiaia Cordinier wore them at Olympics in PE version.
Lesson: If you're a huge fan of Giannis and want to buy his shoes, get any pair of the Immortality line. It's more affordable and always outperforms the signature line. Plus, the designs of the Immortality line are cooler compared to the latter.
I feel like too many NBA players have signature shoes now, especially with Nike. As a result the importance of making those models great has really dropped off. I'd much rather see the signature/flagship models be truly premium and then the rest of Nike's focus being put into great team shoes or at least designed with quality and playability in mind rather than a bunch of fancy colourways and performance lacking as a by-product.
Great review- it sometimes feels like if you don't play much it's like why not purchase the budget model. It won't break down on you for a while. Nike is unexplainable on this shank thing! One on here and nothing on the 39🤔
Do you feel these are any wider than the immortality 2 or 3’s? I was able to break those two models in over time and even the freak 5. If so ima punish my feet once more cause these look great!
When you say a shoe is "true to size", are you going off the Brannock measurement or what you say is your court size (to allow for foot swelling, etc)?
Would you recommend these shoes for combo basketball and volleyball players (trying to find a shoe with both cushion and shock for jumping but strong traction)
Jump 2 might be on my mount Rushmore of bball shoes. I'm a big man who can put alot of force into my shoes and the stability and cushion on the gt jump 2 are unmatched.
@FootDoctorZach You know I've tried the puma shoes and other stuff, but I have the best shoes from Nike. Idk they feel FIRM YK, but due to their recent decisions, i feel completely blindsided. I took the ja 1s and they're FANTASTIC, however there's a little glue issues. I wanted the freak 5s, but the funny thing is I'm Z completely IN THE BLIND. In India, you don't get the WOWs, and pumas aren't for me. Idek but I can't really trust Nike for some reason. Now that I think of it a lot of my bike shoes don't rip, their glue comes off or some stupid reason. It's bad for Indian customers.
Is this shoe worth to buy for volleyball? i don’t have a to high budget like I dont wanna Spend more then 110 is this the best buy or is there anything else? Thanks y’all
Like this guy he ain't flop flopping like the rest of the TH-camrs.they for getting we buying these basketball shoes .we are paiding for amazing tech we want tha worth are Money 💰 I don't like waste my money on b,s, some TH-camr saying these ain't good. And especially the higher basketball 🏀 👟 shoes that 180 190 and 200
Hi, I've been looking at basketball/volleyball shoes for awhile and I've tried a lot (even go up 1/2 a size or a sizer bigger) and still my feet are too wide and it's uncomfortable. Any recommendations? I've tried the asics sky elites, trae young 3, Son of Flash. I'm currently using a 2-year old pair of hyperdunk X low, which I had to break in for quite sometime before feeling comfortable.
Grab a pair at Nike: geni.us/nikesneakers

Ya Zack legit. He tells u exactly how it is from the perspective of Foot doctor
You know anyone who's a sellout? Souldrop?

They literally are nothing but fashion at this point, the greatest basketball shoes used to come from the Jordan brand
Signature athletes are fine but they don't need like 3 models per athlete. Kyrie when he was still Nike has his signature his fly traps and his lows.

@@NinjaFoodieGrill23 okay but what does that have to do with my original comment.
@@DanielEndres-cu3tt Dr Zach said that the Sabrina 2 is clearly a flagship Nike shoe
We got these in at the shoe store I work at and I could tell they were a good shoe, always happy to see these reviews makes me a better salesman

Will it be a good buy for me being a point guard
@@adityabhargavattivilli9873hell yeah bro
@@adityabhargavattivilli9873 no as a point guard you should wear timbs and 3 pairs of socks
Love this immortality line, my son got his in April & played a lot of tennis + pickleball and the grip lasted until November. Great value shoes for sure! Love your videos because they’re more science based, thank you!
Let's gooooo new studio new era, I'll never be Appreciative enough for your divulgence work, thanks for your content and your honesty
I appreciate you
you should do the new balance hesi low v2
I love watching foot doctor Zach, it’s so interesting how they work. I want to make a calibration to make a show

Ive been quite disappointed with Nike and their decisions on adding shank plates recently zach, glad to see someone else is as frustrated as i am.
This colorway is fire

Yup- it’s confusing to say the least
I still wear my 3's casually, great shoe for the price

Maybe at some point
Love all your work brother.
For anyone wondering there's a 3rd triple black color but for some reason is only listed for sale at Dick's sporting goods, Famous footwear and Shoe carnival right now.
in australia the black is also in rebel
No way!!! It's funny I hear comparisons between those and the basic models 😅 If you don't care about cushioning maybe and only for outdoor use?
These look sturdier than the last Immorality.
Immortality 3s are the only shoes I've ever ripped through the side of while playing
Honestly I'm not surprised that Immortality 4 is slightly better than main model Freak 6 since it's based on Immortality 3 when nike cares a lil bit more than now.
I wouldn't be also surprised if Dame Certified 3 will be better than Dame 9.
By the way, do you have Decathlon in US? Their Tarmak Fast 900 low looks promissing. Isiaia Cordinier wore them at Olympics in PE version.

please do the serious player only ranger shoes they look so unique
Great review- it sometimes feels like if you don't play much it's like why not purchase the budget model. It won't break down on you for a while. Nike is unexplainable on this shank thing! One on here and nothing on the 39🤔
Love both models aesthetically but yeah... Definitely waiting for sales
Doctor, I really like your black shorts with the color stripes! Where can I get a pair?
Link to then in the description
Do you feel these are any wider than the immortality 2 or 3’s? I was able to break those two models in over time and even the freak 5. If so ima punish my feet once more cause these look great!
would you recommend these or the one take 5 for a light and fast 6'0, shifty/athletic guard?
Man, make a video about the asics sky elite FF MT3 and asics metarise 2. Both shoes are way light an confortable
Hey Zach, i'm brazilian fan, can you make a video for Anta shockwave 5 team V2?
When you say a shoe is "true to size", are you going off the Brannock measurement or what you say is your court size (to allow for foot swelling, etc)?
dame 8 or immortality 4? what would u suggest for outdoor use
Would you recommend these shoes for combo basketball and volleyball players (trying to find a shoe with both cushion and shock for jumping but strong traction)
Please please please do the DON ISSUE 6
So they're almost a full ounce heavier than the 3s for your size 11
Im waiting for you to review the Puma Fast RB doc 😅😂
Do you have like a favorite shoe you always go to ? If so you should make a video about it !
Day 2 of asking for a review of the asics metarise 2
what do you think of giannis gray with green color?
Short answer: yes
Long answer: yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeessssssssssssssssss
Do these do well in outdoor courts?
These or dame 8 extply for outdoor use, looking for bounce and ankle stability
yo can u review the big 3 5 quick (the not pro one)
Which is better in your opinion Jump 2 or Hustle 3?
Jump 2 might be on my mount Rushmore of bball shoes. I'm a big man who can put alot of force into my shoes and the stability and cushion on the gt jump 2 are unmatched.
how do these compare to gt cut academy for outdoor use?
probably more ideal since its cheaper but its a matter of preference as they are both good outdoors
Can you review the Li Ning lirens 4 v2
@FootDoctorZach You know I've tried the puma shoes and other stuff, but I have the best shoes from Nike. Idk they feel FIRM YK, but due to their recent decisions, i feel completely blindsided.

What's the weight for a men's size 10.5?
Is this shoe worth to buy for volleyball? i don’t have a to high budget like I dont wanna
Spend more then 110 is this the best buy or is there anything else? Thanks y’all
You can get LeBron 21’s on sale for close to this price.
