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 tennis shoe's functional attributes on the tennis and 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
- Under Armour basketball shoe technology explained

I’m loving everything Flow right now. Velociti SE. Can’t wait fm for more footwearr to come out
I’m looking forward to a more outdoor court version- I think with just some pops of rubber they may have a really superior outdoor shoe too
The most thorough, intelligent, and informative athletic shoe reviews on TH-cam !
Love your analysis and as a product designer, your comments were very much on point. Thumbs up.
Awesome! Glad you liked it - what products do you design?
Super comfortable, quiet with great perception of bounce compression-but on a typical dusty dirty indoor court - very slippy! Wore outside to ‘break in’ scuff the bottom to see if it helps improve traction. Bottom line - Unless your school court is dusted and cleaned regularly-this may not be the shoe for you. Spit & Hairspray helps……
Ive never tried hairspray but that would be an interesting video
Congratulations On 10K Subs :)
Appreciate it 👍
Agreed and well deserved Dr. Zach!
Thank you!
Thanks for work man, god bless
I totally see the success of this midsole and outsole set-up. I once used my Nike free running shoes on a dusty painted court after a morning run and the traction was far better than my other rubber outsole shoe. Not phenomenal but surprisingly good on a super dusty court.
The Best shoe reviewer out there and it's not even close. Take my word for it Zach. You are the best. I'm definitely getting these shoes soon before they are a team order pair(can't wait).. I coach basketball & we are UA sponsored.
Thanks! Coming from a basketball coach that means a lot - if there’s ever a topic you’d like to see just shoot me a comment and I’ll try to fit it in 👍👍
@@FootDoctorZach No Problem. I will.
Hey doc! Another great vid. Would be so cool if you did a vid on Andy Murray and his UA shoes plus why they don't sell to public? Thanks and have a great day
I wish I knew - I’d love to get my hands on them though
These look like awesome indoor shoes! Hey Doc, can you please do a video on the AIRfeet Insoles? I recently switched from the GP Turbos to the new Barricade and would like to add just a little bit of cushion without messing up the fit. Thank you!
I’ll take a look at them
I have one of this shoes and I am comfortable using it in basketball, running and wearing for outdoor and indoor used. This is great and I like the quality and durability of it.
It took me a bit to get used to it, but I am a big fan of Flow. So much so that I bought pretty much every Flow based model UA makes. I'm waiting on my FUTR X, which I should arrive next week.
Great to hear!
I really like this shoe. I tried curry’s shoe in store, extremely comfortable, but the future x seems more protective, with a bigger lateral flange and that plastic piece in the side. Waiting for them to release in my country
Let me know how you like them if you end up buying
Going to try that ua shoes, thanks doc
Let me know how you like them
I've heard that this is a decent cross fit/gym shoe, because of the nature of flow foam, not compressing and bottoming out so much, that squats feel pretty good in them apparently as well as single leg split squats and that kinda squat exercises...
Is this worth trying for outdoor hard tennis? Currently use Vapor Pro & nothing else works for me (gp turbo was ok but clunky). I’m always looking for more cushioning - is this worth trying?
These are not durable so no. The whole flow gimmick is that the traction pattern is directly etched into the foam.
Soft foam will not last on the outdoor surface. These are solely made for indoor play.
He did a video on the New Balance 996v4.5 and said they were really comfortable.
Unless you’re ok with buying new shoes every 6-8 weeks I’d say not- they play GREAT and flow is a cool technology but it just may hurt your wallet for outdoor play
Very good review. It would be good if you have some few insights comparison from curry 8
I like the 8’s- his uppers are a tad more substantial but I actually like the FUTR’s more just because the fit is more generous IMO - but honestly pretty similar shoes
Just bought these for indoor pickleball. Arriving on Tuesday. Cant wait to try them out.
Have fun!
Same mine get here at 5:30 tomorrow I got the BHM pair
Hows the UA FLOW FUTR is it good tho
@@sodiumzirconium7311 best imdoor shoe i have. Great on hardwood. So comfy
@@evanc1974 thanks for your reply bro! may I ask if u think its also good to use on painted outdoor court somethin like that sorry english isn't my first language
A bit of feedback from this shoe, hope it helps others, and even designers :
Switching from Hyperdunk 2018 to this and I don't really like it:
The sole is not grippy on most floors i'm playing on and it really hurts my ankles after BBall sessions because of the unusual movement I'm starting to make to adapt . It's not THAT bad but definitely a downgrade from my previous shoes.
The width is cool because of my palmed feets but I really dislike the grip, which is something I wasnt aware of when trying the shoe at the store (it's very comfortable for everything else though)
I found it was grippier outdoors than in- I’m interested to see if they tacked them up for the Curry 9
@@FootDoctorZach Yeah I really thought for a moment I just bought some outdoor shoes. The floor I'm usually playing in not actual wood floor like any court in NBA / US, and it can gather a bit of dust underneath which could explain the not so good grip.
It's still only the first sessions I'm playing, the overall comfort is really good too so I hope I will be able to adapt playing with a bit of oversteer :D
It's only annoying on quick direction changes
Is good for wide foot?
Hello! Great Channel! Can I ask you if the under Armour flow could be a good shoe on mondograss for padel?
Thats a great question- if it were me i would try them, the only thing that could be a problem is the low depth but the surface area contact i would think would make up for that - if you try them let me know how they do
@footdoctorzach Where do these score on the Durometer? And how consistent is the durometer reading across different spots on the shoe?
Hi Zach,
Thank you for your impressive work.
Would you still not recommend this model flow futr x for a 12 years old point guard with flat feet even with replacing the soles with customized/ personnalized soles?
If not recommended, which type of basketball shoes would you recommend for flat feet please? Harden V3 ? Kobe shoes? Nike precision 4? Adidas Explosive low or Mad Bounce?
Thanks in advance for advices
Cheers from Spain
I honestly couldnt say without examining the foot especially in a 12yr old with growing/changing feet- a local doc would help much more
Idk why he didn't answer your question but if your buying basketball shoes just go half a size up or a full size so they can last a long time.
review for kyrie 6 please
1994 called and wants it’s design back! Pretty sweet actually do these come in 15?
I think you’ll see a lot of 90’s designs in the next year or two - definitely coming back in- no idea about sizing you’ll have to look at the UA site
This channel will blow up! Remember this comment when Zach hits 100k
Haha I’ll frame it when I cross it!
Sir, greetings from India 🇮🇳, love your work. Can you please review artengo shoe called ts960.
yep whenever i get my hands on a pair i will
What about the Andy Murray shoes ? Does UA has one shoe for tennis ?
They never made it to production- just a player exclusive
does curry 9 have pronation issue?
yea， defo go check it out. But how's the side to side stability tho? if u slide with it ， will it break ur ankle ?
They’re very hard to slide in because of the surface area and grip so I’d say you’ll either burn though the foam or yeah, catch and sprain
@@FootDoctorZach ar I see. cheers mate. Love to see other shoes can play tennis. Tennis shoes is not that much option like basketball shoes.
Yeah hoop shoes have quite the jump on tennis, no pun intended
Does anyone knows how to eliminate heel slippage without using the runner loop?
Something like these help: amzn.to/2Y0OrQU
do custom orthotics help with the shoe pronating by itself?
Not really- they help YOUR foot from overpronating, but if the shoe is still tilted inward- it will be even if theres an orthotic in it
@@FootDoctorZach Thank you Sir for info and replay. Keep up the good work! :)
This or the UA Spawn 3? Anyone please? Thanks
These seem like a great shoe for tennis even if the outsole isn't the most durable. Why doesn't UA actually come out and make a dedicated tennis shoe is beyond me.
I’m guessing they don’t see a big enough profit in it but yeah- with some tweaks they could have something really great on their hands
Do you have any good brands of socks that don’t squish your toes together?
Ironically I have a whole video on this coming out Friday - I’ll be doing it live
Old For Bare Feet NBA socks.
If it was u personally would u bye these or cury8/9
Curry
I use the curry 8 and the flow cushion for impact protection is just another gimmick. Although is pretty durable for an outsole..
Yeah protection wise it’s just like any other dense foam but I’m a big fan of the energy return and indoor grip
It's not a gimmick , the traction is phenomenal
Yup- grip is terrific - just wish it had a tad more tread depth - I’m sure on future models
@@JayzsMr I was talking about the impact protection, traction is a different topic and yes, is great.
Good that you played tennis too
Always
Would you cut open a Yeezy?
Yup I don’t see why not
How to clean the outsole??
Hard
I would buy these if I didn’t play outdoor only 😩
They made a better version of these without the mesh. Got them at Ross for $35 the black history color way the whole upper is one material now
You throw out a lot of Babolat and Reebok references in your videos. Were you a big Roddick fan?
Oh yeah- Roddick and Rafter were my favorites but sadly hated both their rackets when I tried to demo them back in the day - oh well
@@FootDoctorZach those old Babolat Propulses with the Goodyear outsole and stabiliser Velcro straps, completely locked in your foot, and lasted forever. Great shoes!
Had the American flag colorways- great on hardcourts - I’m a huge fan of Velcro straps
From 2k
These are amazing for pickleball on a wood floor.
Oh yeah 👍
@@FootDoctorZach any plans on reviewing the Nike Zion 1’s? I also found this to be an excellent indoor pickleball shoe
Yup
Hi Doc. So god for performence, comfort and fit. No great at durability.
Yup
Why Under Armour don’t produce tennis shoes?
Are they afraid of anything?
Sergio Tacchini shoes disappeared after Martina Hingis demanded them for a chronical injurie in her feet.
Sorry for my English
I think they probably researched how much money they could make with them and just decided it wasn’t worth it
@@FootDoctorZach, thanks!
It makes sense
