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 basketball shoe's functional attributes on the 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
- adidas basketball shoe technology explained

Can you do a video on modal socks… a lot of properties similar to merino wool
Commenting this again for visibility, so bare with me!
Can you please add a “squeak” test for your shoe reviews? Many of us want to k ow how the shoes squeak on the hardwood, thanks!
@@nickjames5129 Why though? What does this have to do with performance? If you want that go watch the sole drop channel. He does a sneak test on every review I believe. This dude just gives out straight up facts about performance. Squeak has nothing to do and would literally be a waste of his time so it seems. None of that was aggressive at all so please don't take it that way. I always thought that was an odd category for a performance review unless I'm missing something and I play 3-4 times a week.
This channel is the gold standard for shoe reviews. Now I don't buy BB shoes unless they're reviewed here first. Thanks Dr. Zach!
zach is diamond standard 😊
Samee
My thought exactly
Glad they’re helping you 👍👍
Yes best channel by far
Supporting other TH-camrs within the review as well as a great review? Doc is that dude. Becoming the best reviewer out there.
I appreciate you
I'll have to check these out. My biggest issue is finding shoes wide enough in the midfoot. So many shoes curve inward there (to mimic normal foot shape) and it can get pretty narrow.
Ur channel is amazing bro, hope it blows up big for u
this is the ideal shoes review channel, I mean it's amazing, a microscopic to see the shoes's texture, just amazing
Hey Doc, can you please add a reference point for the single leg jump and ball bounce test. There is no way for the viewer to understand how the shoe your reviewing compares to others on the jump stats without an average to compare to
really like the way they look, wish the sides were a bit more slim, but i just purchased another pair of harden 1's which to date are still the best basketball shoe i've played in
Your review is straight useful because you're dismantling the shoes. It's so much real review. Thanks doc 👍
This was actually super helpful! Thank you Zach. Do you plan on doing the Way of Wade All City 11 any time soon? With how highly you thought of the 10 V2’s I’m curious if the 11 hold up or not
Man your reviews are Awesome like I am opening tabs under your channels right now. and I am convinced, up to this date nothing beats this Harden 7.
it's a look that has to grow on you but once you get past that, it seems like they are rated pretty highly....since my hoop days are behind me and I am into pickleball a lot, i always am interested to see what a shoe can provide for a sport that has very similar movements like quick starts and stops, side to side stops and starts and overall support and stability...great review Zach
Even the first copy of Harden vol7 performance is so good. Can't wait for the real ones
I love the 7. Such a futuristic look. Reminds me of the jordan 15 in a way. Definitely the most unique shoe in a long time.
for me, it reminds me of adidas kobe 2
4:32 those socks are fire
I hoop in the JH6 and I love them. I saw a dude at the gym hooping in the 7s. When my team lost I watched his footwork on the court and they looked grippy. I asked him what he thought of them and he said theyre solid.
sick ymca gym bro approved ty sir
I like the look of these a lot, was just hoping they performed well too, glad to know they do. Thanks for the review!
I bought this shoe and I love it. Thanks for your great review and breaking it down so nicely. These are very comfortable but a bit heavy on the heel, still just love the traction and the support, surprisingly very stable even though the sock type uppers.
Finally!!!! I was waiting sooooooo long!
Let's go doctor zach!
Very nice content once again Doc Zach!
Please help review the Underarmour Curry 2 Low Flowtro.
I had Achilles tendon ruptures Non Op . Any basketball shoes suggestion to help a little bit prevent reruptured. Thank you
Hi there Zack,
I'm on the look out for some new basketball shoes, im thinking of getting either the harden 7's or the Jordan Why Not 0.6
I saw both the videos you uploaded about these shoes.
I just want to ask, as you are specialist, which would be better for a big man as I play the center position, and to be more specific I'm 200cm and weight 95kg
Have the playing style of Draymond
Do you have some sort of reccomendation for a shoe outside of these shoes possibly? if so which?
Many thanks
I’ve been looking around for the perfect shoe for me and i’m so glad your reviewing this one
Good day. Would a zamst ankle brace fit well in these? If yes, would you recommend to go true to size or half size up? Thanks
was really excited to see your take on this shoe
great vid Doc
Hey Zach, big fan of you channel, ie seen a few of your videos multiple time ! And shortlisted Harden vol 7 and NB why V4 as. 6 foot 200 pound guy who plays centre/forwards .
Which would you recommend out of these 2 ?
Holy hell this channel is awesome. Had no idea basketball shoe review videos like this even existed
Thanks!
The higher bounce on the boost is because the boost is contained by the outsole on all sides, allowing the boost to compress and absorb an impact less than it usuall would; it's not because the foam is tuned!
Actually like the way they look.saw these in store a few days ago and upon checking it wasnt as narrow inside as it looks.might give these a try when they go on sale.great review as akways.
do you know around what time of the year adidas puts them on sale?
I been trying to figure out if I should get the KD 15 EP or the harden vol. 7 for outdoors let me know y’all opinions I’m also a wide footer/flat footer
recently got the harden 7s and i was wondering how long it would last if i played it outdoors for 1-2 hours twice a week and if it would be wise to do so
been thinking, should i pick up these or the puma mb 02. any suggestion?
Great review as always. Any thought on how they compare to KD15?
I eat excited for this review, thank you!!
After this review it's a must have. Love how they look! I want pink ones!
thanks for the detailed review. at this point in life i don't even worry about the looks as long they feel good and are durable. i like that they are good outside and inside.
Do they have a removable insole? Like for example most Nike hoop shoes do..
The last Harden I ordered was the vol 5 and there the insole was part of the boost and could not really be removed - since I need to wear orthopedic insoles (abt 1cm thick) to play the shoe was way too tight and low for me.
Great Review 💪🏿🧠
Cannot wait for the review of AG 3 PRO from 361 those are 🔥💯
hey doctor, i really want the harden vol 7 but i have a patellofemoral pain syndrome and i can’t find a good pair of shoes can you help please 🙏
Hey Doc! I love watching your videos ❤️
I hope you some reviews on these following shoe brands; World Balance and Peak. Thanks Doc!
You are the best reviewer Zach!
Can’t wait to get these for $60 when they go on sale.
Fr😂😂, adidas be having new sales like every day
I wonder why you never did a video on the Two Wxy 3? 😢 they have only positive reviews and the cushioning would be interesting to see cut open
Also can u do the Curry Hovr Splash 2 if u have the chance? Like what makes the Hovr Midsole great or not so great?
Is this True to size? Because I have a harden stepback( because its cheaper)
I bought in at half size up. I have size 11.5 and the harden is size 12, but its still kinda small for me especially in the mid sole and toebox.
What about the positions in basketball for these shoes?
Was waiting for your video 🔥
I have a 5E, 6E feet, what size should I go for?
Hey doc please make a bounce test video where you compare the shoes side to side to rank them for bounce , traction , breathability etc.
Since you usually cut up one shoe it makes it easier for the single leg jump height test since its more recent too , as well as most test require one shoe.
Too bad he cut up all his previous shoes 😅
@@SamC_ from what ive seen he cuts open only one of them thats why
Doc, if you have to choose 1, which one do you recommend, Lebron 20 or Harden 7?
Hi Zach! These versus the Anta GH3? Thanks!
The shoes that allowing to get all the calls in the game incl. violently exaggerated head jerking to automatic hooking arms that sends Hardee's straight to the charity line before the rule changed. The Shoes needing upgrade version for the new rule change to accomodate Hardee's recent failing stats.
I see that the shoe is thin on the front part, I have high hopes of this shoe to fit, as i have a weired condition, my right foot big toe is big, tore my nail off wearing some of the old harden low tops. im wondering if this is a common issue with some people.
It looks good. I love the design and the review is what I was waiting for
Any insight into how they fit with ankle braces? Can you add a blurb about ankle braces in your future videos? Always great work, Zach!
I had one on in them and they’re fine but it’s going to stretch the liner so watch for that
What orthotic would be great for this shoes?
Much love Zach appreciate this man
Sizing of Adidas is kinda tricky UK 7=US7.5 however on Nike’s UK7=US8 so should I just follow my UK size on this?
Do these run small? Usually wear 11 in adidas
Thank you for the review I liked it very much
I want these in the same color but they are sold out. So as soon they are in stock I’ll be getting them.
i wear a size 13 i want to buy these do you think there are gonna look long on my feet btw i love you videos
I love them, and i was hoping to got them for outdoors use
My favorite shoe this year next to the kawhi 3
been waiting on this one!
i love them, but they should have put Neoprene over the big stitches in the heel because with thin socks the heel has strange pressure points
Volume 6 or volume 7 for outdoor only?
Hi doc! I'm confused with the fitting explanation. Thanks doc
How heavy you gotta be to wear the hardens?
Are they good for ankle support
Will you review the Way of Wade All City 11???
Are these better then the AE 1?
Nice review. Question: Would it be best to test it indoors first before going outdoors? Worn outsole from outdoors might help to have better grip indoors?
Different rubbers will behave different so that’s not really a general rule you can go by
Great video as always doc. You mentioned about taylor bunion, instead of this shoe could you please recommend other basketball shoes that fit someone with taylor bunion? thanks doc

bor, try to put some light coming from under, very near the floor for your thumbnaisl photos. it will make the show pop a little bit.
Thank you so much doc zack for the best review. I always watching. The addidas is coming back again.
Hey i wanted some help deciding between a gel res 8 and gel res 9 is there really a difference between the two that is worth the price difference. I am 125lbs, and play with a head radical mostly hitting from the baseline. Mid arch and narrow feet. Do you have any suggestions ?
I felt there was but I’m a higher arch foot - others have said nah
Went from curry 10s to this and let me tell you. I've played the best basketball I have in years with these. Definitely my favorite hoop shoes I ever had. Bag is very deep with these on.
Dang the shoes did all that? they need to pay you for advertising bc dammit i'm sold!
Does ur feet get hot in these?
@@jacedragon I haven't had that issue
I’ve heard they keep u more balanced so shooters feel better and more efficient in these what do u think?
@@tristonmanuel6813 Yes, step back and side step jumpers stay balanced. Especially euro steps and crossovers. Defenders will not be able to keep up.
Can you do a review on the new balance 2 way v3?
Been watching you for years and when your gym footage came on I thought, “ that gym looks like the rec at my alma mater”, then I immediately saw the slippery rock flag behind you! Small world.
Go Rock!
I don't even play basketball but I was surprised by these shoes, would you recommend them for tennis as long as I don't slide (I don't) in hard courts? What about for pádel in artificial turf with sand?
Hardcourts sure
how is the weight?
How do they preform with ankle braces, would the sock liner stretch out too much over time?
Probably over time
I have them, gotta put in effort to put your foot in. But they're so comfortable
have been waiting for this hahaha
good review mate
would love to see a review on the embiid 1s
I hated the way they looked at first, they grew on me, I’m a stockier guy with a wider foot, I want to get back into basketball shape and start playing outside this summer with the guys…..so I just ordered this shoe…wish I cud a got the reds, but got the blacks…should look pretty good with black socks…I’m excited…
How would you compare the Volume 7’s to the Lebron 20’s?
sounds like i found my next shoe this summer
The best shoe performance review channel. Hands down!
I appreciate you 👍
The design is definitely polarizing but I absolutely love the way they look. Been waiting a while to get a pair and jumped on the silver ones when they released. Then I saw the yellow ones and decided to get those instead. Can't wait to hoop in them as the reviews have been great!
Did your order get delayed too?
@@S1imshadow Nah I got mine in like 3 days
I'll check Hoops Geek for overalls, but if I want to see specifics, Zach you are THE reviewer I go to now for shoe information.
I'm a 4E, but I hate extra space length wise when I size up. Think I could get away with going true to size here? Will they be snug but wearable do you reckon?
Longer break in but if it were me I think I could
@@FootDoctorZach thanks as always 💪🏼
Please do a top 10 basketball shoes for wide feet
Never played basketball before. Looking to get into playing since I’ve recently become obsessed with the sport. What is the best shoe for a 6’1 guard?

can you check the wow all city 11 out?
I bought the shoes. I like them but they are pretty heavy and they are slippery on floors that are a little bit more on the dusty side. I find myself having to wipe them often in order to get the traction back
can u review converse weapon cx?
Can you do the way of wade son of wade? I just copped em but i wanna know whats inside.
like see review on Kawhi 3s , I like these hardens , reminds me of Jordans 14s
Hardcourt/Outdoor basketball shoes please
