You revolutionized the sneaker review game Doc. Now I can't stand to watch review channels without the durometer, jump height test and cutting the shoes apart. Got my new ANTA GH3 because of your review. Thank you so much Doc!
you should totally check out the Jordan 12s, 13s and possibly the 14s as well! (a bit harder to find) Jordans 11-14 are the best retros for actual basketball playing, the 12s and 13s are known to be one of the most stable ball shoes ever, they are MJ's all time favorite J's to hoop in as well, and I don't doubt the man
Hi Zach, I couldn't agree more. The 11 and even the 12s (which are my favorite jordans) were a head of their time. I've put patients in both, however, getting them is the problem sometime. Some retros are still relevant. I would look at the zoom flight 95. It's step-down model the air thrill flight was probably my favorite along with the jordan 12. Keep up the good work, saves me from cutting up my collection haha.
I hoop in Retro 10's 11's, 12's, 13's, and 14's. These are my go to shoes as a 6'4 PG especially when I am playing multiple games and can't switch shoes
7s/11s are the best air Js 12s&13s best zoom. I would love to see you do the 12s Zach I'm sure you'll get around to it at some point. Also this year's 11s are gorgeous 3/4&11 are 5he best aesthetically looking Js in my book.
In my opinion, as a bigger guy, i felt like the lateral stability was not as great. I dont know if you felt like the heel was noticeably higher than the forefoot. So for me, the heel to toe drop with not as great lateral stability, I couldnt hoop in them. My style of play is physical down low. I balled in the Cool Gray 11s from last year.
Very nice and detailed performance review once again Doc Zach👌🏻 i hope you could review other retro basketball shoes from Jordan, Nike, UA Curry, Reebok, Adidas, etc. Also please review the recently released Li Ning Jimmy Butler 1 signature shoe. More power to your channel!
No one talks about how a majority if not all shoes made nowadays are way to narrow for a foot reducing the natural splay of your toes and thus more instability due to a lack of surface area your foot has on the ground. At least the companies should add a wide and extra wide version of all their shoes.
Great review. The only 11 I like is the white and black. Jordan looked so cool in those. This color to me is too garish. Great to know that it’s great for basketball as they look good on the court.
You know why i love your channel because your really true about everything even if it's a shoe this era will go crazy for like these 11s lol keep up the great work
Anyone else notice the 11s stiff af now? I been getting these since the 90s and these joints used to be soft now every 11 I get feels like a wooden plank on the mid soles.
Not much foam under the forefoot, which I find interesting considering it's the 11th shoe in the lineup. You'd figure MJ's cushioning requirements would've gotten more demanding as he aged. Was it to save weight on the otherwise bulky shoe?
Imagine if the 11s had zoom air oh my god that would be the best basketball shoe of all time. I love 11s but 12s are my favorite Jordans to play in. 12, 11, 14, 13 and 8 are my favorite Jordans to play in.
Im gonna get air jordan 11s and Great I saw this video, Im a sprainer, have heel pain most of the times and Im flat footed, so this shoe is gonna be good.
You got the best contact keep up the good work love your video's and take down the shoes what inside. And technology of the shoe how the tech work thanks.all ways wonder what inside the Jordan 11 can you do a take down on the Jordan 14 allways wonder🤔whats inside the Jordan 14
That’s not discolored on the heel of the sole, you are seeing a part of the sole that is not covered but the carbon fiber plate. It’s just the white part of the sole
Love this breakdown. Would you say this video applies to all AJ 11s from the last few years? Wondering if these pairs in particular have any updates from previous releases.
is a pretty shoe for sure.. but damn 11... i have jubilee in US 9.5 killing my pinky and the 72-10 low in 10.. also killing my pinky... really dont know why.. my 12 and 13 were fine... 14 its does pinch a bit.. but not as severe as 11
Hey zach, for a bit I have watched a lot of your shoe reviews and I need help on making a choice. Sorry this isn’t related to this review and you probably get questions like this a lot. In comparing the Kyrie 8 and Jordan Zoom Separate, do you believe that the cushion in the heel would bottom out in the Jordan in a couple months? I heard you talk about the arch but not the heel. I am looking for a shoe that would last at least 4 months playing indoor basketball a couple times a week? I need impact protection to last for a while for my knees, thanks, and much love to all the detailed reviews. Also, my whole foot is 2E so I was thinking a half size up in both but the Jordan would fit better. I tried kyrie 8 in my reg size and it was extremely tight and restricting. Was also looking at the kd15 in my reg size but idk if it would be wide enough or work on dust
@@FootDoctorZach thanks for the response, sorry I should've specified for hardwood. I watched the video before and noted what you said but if I sum my question up, will the jordan zoom separate bottom out heel cushion quickly? anyways sorry for the very long comment and great videos
Hi Dr Zach, great video/work. I play in the retro 12s now with the move game day insoles and they’ve broken in pretty nicely. In your opinion we’re the 11’s lighter than the 12s and did you use insoles in yours or were you able to just play with the regular ones that came in the shoe?
I say the 12s were heavier than the 11s due to the thicker rubber outsole and especially the full-length Zoom Air contributing to the weight as the millions of thin fibers inside the air bag add a bit of weight.
@ thanks! I had a few of these Jordan’s as a kid in the 90s. And Yeah the 11s are next on my list to play in. My 12s lasted me for about 2 years now. It’s still Wild how the retros last longer than all the current Jordan models out there 🤯👟
@@FootDoctorZach I know and I'm really sorry to hear about it, I hope you are recovering well. But I think these sneakers deserves a review in the same way as the rest of it, for good or for bad your reviews are excellent, from a mechanical point of view, would be great to have a honest review, anyone can break an ankle playing sports.
Hey man, hopefully one day youll reply to me here, and have some insight to my issue! My feet tend to go numb, so I can never lock my feet into any athletic shoe. First noticed in early 2000's while hiking. I ended up having to tie my boots a certain way. I currently hve 12's, but Ive used the 11 lows and same issue. same thing with zion 1's so nothing to do with new tech. please help. keep up the good work.
Hey Zach, I know this is not the video but I didn't know how to reach you. Can you recommend me an orthotic? I tried Powerstep Pinnacle and it gave me so much arch pain, I had to get it off asap.

Timeless in both form and function. IMO, the best Air Jordans ever made.
Yeah they're up there
12s are the best actually but the 11s definitely top 3
7s/11s are the best air Js 12s&13s best zoom. I would love to see you do the 12s Zach I'm sure you'll get around to it at some point. Also this year's 11s are gorgeous 3/4&11 are 5he best aesthetically looking Js in my book.
11-14 are my fave retros to hoop in. All of em were wayyyy ahead of their time. 12’s best outdoor shoe imo.
Try 7-8 9 even 10 as well
12s are certified tanks. I shovel snow in em🤣

Also please review the recently released Li Ning Jimmy Butler 1 signature shoe.
More power to your channel!
I hope you can do a review on the Jordan 11 lows as well, focusing more on containment and support cheers
Cause of you I got the wow10 and gt jump and the move insoles.thanks for your reviews.enjoy ur holidays.keep them reviews coming.
Hope they’re working out well for you 👍👍
awesome review zach!
i think you should also try the lows (whether that be the ies for the patent leather ones)
I got these in the SNKRS flash in November. I love them for wearing around. I deal with heel pain and that seems to subside when I wear these all day.
On the subject of retro shoes, I think the Air Flight Lite Mid could make for a great review
No one talks about how a majority if not all shoes made nowadays are way to narrow for a foot reducing the natural splay of your toes and thus more instability due to a lack of surface area your foot has on the ground. At least the companies should add a wide and extra wide version of all their shoes.
Great idea reviewing this legendary pair 👍👍
Would you do the foamposite next?
I reviewed a newer pair last year but in the tennis space
Great Review 💪🏿🧠
Cannot wait for the review of the new AG 3 PRO from 361 degrees those are 🔥💯
Awesome to see such a classic perform well after all this time
Yeah its eye opening thats for sure
11s are one of my fave hoop shoes but it's so wack what resellers have done to the price of retros
Omg I want that pair of Jordan. Hope I get this on the upcoming release.
The best shoe review channel of all aspects right now. No others 👍🏻
Thanks!
Most folks miss out the plastic cup around the heel cup, which would break apart after few years.
Love this content doc
Great review. The only 11 I like is the white and black. Jordan looked so cool in those. This color to me is too garish. Great to know that it’s great for basketball as they look good on the court.
Do Jordan 12s next.
The most comfortable Jordan of all time hands down💯
Pls do one on the cherry 12s ❤
Can you review the Jordan 11 retro IE’s please ?
You know why i love your channel because your really true about everything even if it's a shoe this era will go crazy for like these 11s lol keep up the great work

The most beautiful, any sport not only basketball, shoes ever.
Imagine if the 11s had zoom air oh my god that would be the best basketball shoe of all time. I love 11s but 12s are my favorite Jordans to play in. 12, 11, 14, 13 and 8 are my favorite Jordans to play in.
Yup I agree. A Zoom strobel or Zoom bags would completely transform this shoe from great to exceptional.
Im gonna get air jordan 11s and Great I saw this video, Im a sprainer, have heel pain most of the times and Im flat footed, so this shoe is gonna be good.
The greatest shoes ever in my opinion Air Jordan 11!!!!
I am curious about the inside and cushioning technology of Adidas Pro Model, I suggest you Zack to review this before I buy this shoe hehe
That's a brutal looking sprain. Here's to a speedy full recovery.
Appreciate it
Hope your ankle is getting better doc. That looked gnarly
Thanks- slow but yeah it’s good
So happy they come in wide width lol. Many sneakers don't
You got the best contact keep up the good work love your video's and take down the shoes what inside. And technology of the shoe how the tech work thanks.all ways wonder what inside the Jordan 11 can you do a take down on the Jordan 14 allways wonder🤔whats inside the Jordan 14
Doc, I just got me a Jordan 11 Retro Low IE. In your opinion, is there a big difference in terms of playability?
AJ11 are one of the best I ever played.
I had the original black & red.
Whoa I would love info on how to buy defect pairs!?
Can't decide pg 6 or way of wade 808 2???? Great vid doc please give me some advice!!

Ive heard these a bit stiffer than previous models but i cant tell too too much difference
Nike Blazer Mid 77 performance review? It was George Gervin’s shoe, after all 🔥
Hopefully your ankle is getting better. What shoes were you wearing when you got injured?
Slowly yeah thank you - witness 7
I got lucky to have the jubilees and the cool greys and hoping to get those cherries.
If u have a wide foot do you need to upper a size?
Not going to lie the new 11s don't feel like when we got the OG and the 12s are my favorite comfort to hoop in
Hi Zach, is there already pg7 shoe, im just wondering what pg is wearing during his games now.
My go to shoe review site
Thanks!
Can you review Air Jordan 4? Thank you!
is a pretty shoe for sure.. but damn 11... i have jubilee in US 9.5 killing my pinky and the 72-10 low in 10.. also killing my pinky...
really dont know why.. my 12 and 13 were fine... 14 its does pinch a bit.. but not as severe as 11
how do you get factory defect shoes ? I wouldn't mind a few pair if they're structurally sound and cheaper.
You gotta know a guy who knows a guy
@@FootDoctorZach 😂👍🏽 I believe it.
ı just copped these cant wait to try them on tonight ı have a important match ı dont think it will let me down
yo howd it go?
Having broke my left ankle and rolled both many times, I feel your pain. I cringed when I watched it. I wish those on no one.
Thanks, yeah it’s brutal
u should do the jordan 12 retro stealth and the air jordan 17 retro and the 18 and the air jordan 19 retro
Noooooo 😩 every time he cuts the sneakers 👟 😂
What are the shooes you hurt your ankle ? THE VIDEO IS HARD TO SEE ! I made one 2 weeks ago
Only play with this indoors as they're amazing and really bouncy under my foot, and can hold it's own vs new shoe tech nowadays.
Is it the same heel height as Jordan 11 retro low? Hope you can reply
Amazing! 👍
Bro you motivated me to play basket ball
I cried when the shoe was split in half 😢
hey zach, what shoe would you recommend for volleyball: KD15, Gt cut 2, zion 2 or the zoom freak 4?
Just depends what you want out of them
What shorts are those?🤔
How can I get a b grade pair just so I can hoop in them
Will it be durable for outdoor
That texture on the patent leather isn't wax it's plastic.
Comparison of Jordan 36 and wade 808 2 ultra, please
Where can I get a pair of these cheaper?

Do shoes fit true to size

I wouldn’t
@@FootDoctorZach oh ok
How were you able to buy them factory defect? Were they any cheaper?
"cheaper" yeah but not cheap - just through a retailer i know who gets defect factory models - not sure i can say without permission
Idk maybe it’s just me but 😂feel as though the heel lock is kinda off anytime I played in them my achilles tendon feels like they’re going to pop.
