Kobe shoe line deep dive th-cam.com/video/qp9y6ggYSU4/w-d-xo.html
Doc you think the Zion SE drop in would fit on the Kobe 8 Protro and if yes, would there be any lockdown issues?
@@ballersofthesix good question 😉
@FootDoctorZach can you review the first filipino signature Philippine brand basketball shoe "World balance- Scottie Thompson"
The real job is finding them.
Gotta pay that resale price.
Just get a pair of S2 batch reps - they are 1:1 for a fraction of $$$
@@denyspolishchukwait for the god killer bro. That will be kuch much close to 1 to 1
@@Chavanun555 that too
@@lionelgrisbane 🤷🏼♂️ personal choice
i was so scared to click on this video mad respect to you for not cutting these
They are just shoes. Relax.
Zach proves once again how he is the real man of the people, by breaking down an extremely limited and sought after shoe just for us viewers to know exactly what we buy!
Thank you for your great content sir, and let the haters hate and keep up the great work!!! Anytime you post a new video, I will be coming back and watching it to support the channel! :)
I appreciate you
Favorite shoe channel by a mile, great review as always. Thank you for always going the extra mile and providing actual analysis instead of the typical ‘the shoe is comfy and it looks cool, you should buy it!’. Really helps people like me make better decisions for their feet and overall body when playing.
Glad I could help you
@FootDoctorZach your channel continues to leave the competition in the dust with your scientific approach to show reviews.
2 suggestions for videos based on this one:
1. A comparison of the OG Kobe 8’s to these. Different rubber compound and Chris from Weartesters has criticized Kobe’s protros some compared to the OG’s and these are a little heavier, I’d be interested in your in-depth review of both.
2. A vlog series where you go to a coach/trainer for basketball. I think it would also help you put shoes through tests that more closely mimic the movements of people who play basketball, plus would be entertaining. (This is not a criticism, you’ve said yourself that tennis is your main sport.)
you've gotta review Kobe 4 protro's too. we appreciate your insights always.
+1
I Love That Your Reviewing The Protro Line!!
Runners Knots are a game changer for me. I never dealt with heel slippage ever again since I been doing them. All my low cuts lock my ankles in super good now
I’m a fan of the x-ray view. It’s a great way to see the full shank inside the shoe when the cross-section doesn’t tell the full story.
Thanks- yeah I like it too- some shoes show up better than others depending on materials and contrast
Can you re-review the Kobe 6 Protro with your new system?
I’d love to hear your take on “which is the best Kobe ever? The 6 or the 8?”
Well I can tell you right now at least in my opinion it’s not the 8
Its between the 5 and the 6. The 5 imo has more support and is a bit heavier than the 6. But the 6 is lighter so its really preference in the end.
Try doing an X-Ray with your foot on it Doc, maybe it'll give us all a good loot at the fit
just imagine a foot in them then. his foot isn’t your foot so it makes no difference
As an OG kobe8 fan, I've enjoyed the protro 8s I've been able to get. I have a wide foot and it didn't require break in time which was fantastic. First shoe I've worn in a while without pain.
Liren 4 V2 Low pls!!!!
so im not dreaming when on my first game using these i was wondering why my stronger foot buckled.
zach's review is accurrate for my profile. out of my 5 shoe rotation, i put kobe 8 at the bottom of my list.
@FootDoctorZach Doc you think the Zion SE drop in would fit on the Kobe 8 Protro and if yes, would there be any lockdown issues?
I went full size on it as a 2E like it says on ur video and it feels so nice going full size as 2E and I Hope you can review the Kobe 4 n 5 in the future.
Zach always have a new way to know inside the shoe without cut them
Thanks for the review Zach! Do you think some of your concerns/criticisms would be mitigated if I swapped the react midsole with a SOP Strength or Support midsole?
Kobe would be so proud up there in heaven, that his shoes really reach all level of people. The price of the Kobe shoe line and how his brand is sold, reflect how Kobe always gave attention to all kind of fans during his lifetime.😝
Had an original pair of Kobe 8s back in the day. Felt super light and great on foot but there was zero impact protection lol. Felt like these “Protros” were a big miss on Nike’s end. Could have easily given us some zoom or max air to beef up the cushioning but cant cut too much into profit margins…
I love your videos man! Do u think u could review this seemingly new bball shoe? It’s the EQLZ 247 and it looks pretty cool, it’s got pebex foam and stuff, but I’m really curious what else is in the shoe
I've tried for every Kobe in the last 12 months and haven't won "the right" to buy one yet. Unfortunate.. and I turned my last kobe shoes into golf shoes 😮
Ever gonna review the Jordan 13? Such a legendary shoe. Pls do an original colourway as well!
Plagiarism: as Reebok were the first to introduce carbon fiber arch shank in 1990, they should have suit Nike. And yes, it works damn well for transfering power to the forefoot without having to compensate with zoom air units. Another reason why an energetic guard like Tyrese Haliburton uses those shoes.
Have you tried the Serious Player 1 +? Would love your thoughts on those especially compared to these because they kinda take the shape of the low-top Kobes. Thanks!
Thanks for the details videos. I discovered your video looking for reviews and explanations to why kobe shoes are so popular amongst players. I now refer your videos to everyone who wants to understand for new shoe shopping.
Glad I could help!
Glad i still got the OG 8s insoles they are the best i switch the gt cut 1, 2 with the kobe 8 insoles makes the gt cut 2 great and the 1
Just grabbed the Zion 3s and they remind me so much of Kobes in terms of drop ins. How does react compare to formula 23? 🤔
Call me crazy but I I like a runners knot for ankle lockdown.
nothing crazy about wanting more lock down and runners knot just work without crazy tech behind it
Can the drop-in midsoles of the Zion 3 SE fit inside the Kobe 8 Protro? And if so, does it improve the shoe in terms of cushion and does it change the overall fit?
Hey Zach, I noticed on my pair I’m getting a lot of slippage. Oddly it seems to be more on the right shoe. Is there anything I can do to mitigate this?
Surprised it's heavier than the kobe 6..
I’ll be picking up the Sabrina 2s since there’s no way I’m paying over retail.
Hi all, which shoes would you recommend for achille tendinitis ? Feel good in Lebron 20 but not found. Just add heel pad ?
I have a pair of the “Halo” 8 protros and unfortunately it’s an unplayable model for me. I have a 2E flat foot and that carbon fiber shank digs into the middle of my arch
kobe 8 protro mambacita is shoe of the year for me so pretty
man I love the Kobe 8 protein shoes, really adds when you're bulking
Why didn't u cut them open I was waiting for that 😅
Too much fans complaining tbh.
@@MangaSword8 he cut up more expensive shoes before
Could you please add to your amazing reviews also the prices? Ty
When Doc Z didn’t cut these up, I sensed the inner sneakerhead…
Lol no cutting a Kobe 8 Mambacitas worth 350usd size 11 but yeah cutting a 1/500 Book 1 worth 2500... 🥴🥴
Always been a Kobe 9 or 6 fan myself.
But the newer (protro) for the price is a pass for me.
Still have 3 KB9 and 2 KB6’s that are gym only pairs.
I’m good.
Greatest tennis shoe I have ever used. ;)
Is it possible to replace inshole from GT cut 2 or zion 3?
I wouldn’t
@@FootDoctorZach Maybe at least compare the thickness and size of the insholes. Kobe 8 on full lenght zoom inshole zion 3se could be very good.
any plans on reviewing shoes from serious player only?
Yeah at some point probably
Plz clyde all pro review 😢😢
Doc can you review on the puma clyde all-pro team. Thank you.
can you cover Rep kobes?
Please review ag 4 soar
Do you recco putting in Move Gameday Pro insoles in these?
what would the kobe 6 protro get with the new rating system?
I knew you was not cutting these up 😂 you would of had a few 😢😢 😂
you should try the kd 12 its really nice
Will the be a liren 4 v2 review coming out?
Basically a premium walmart shoe
always wanted a pair but the raffles havent been kind to me
Spo1 is the best basketball shoe out today
Not a great playing shoe but damn its beautiful. Makes sense as a collectors item.
can you make a review for Lining Yushuai 17?
They didn’t do this shoe justice, I feel the originals were better fitting and just better in general. That lunarlon drop in was perfect minus the durability of course.
Agreed
honestly, for the price there are newer nike lines that are comparable and better for cheaper. people reselling them for crazy prices just for the name and the fact that nike promotes this by limiting them is even worse..
i love watching a review of a shoe i most likely never will have😂 and here's doc just giving us the in-depth analysis in the name of medicine❤
(i was kinda on the edge till doc didn't tear it down like usual😂😂)
If Kobe was alive he’ll tell Nike to do better…job not finished
i have the venice beaches in a 10.5 and honestly i’m kinda disappointed. Even with first trying them on i don’t like how unstable they feel. They look amazing, but no where near the performance level i want. Probably going to get the AC 12 and harden 8s.
What ac 12 is ????
@@OscarMorales514 way of wade all city 12
Nike Vomero 5 next??? 🙏🏾
Any options for shoes like the new balance coco cj1 for indoor ?
New balance two w4y v4 and the fresh foam BB v2 is great shoes for indoors check them out
Thought you would cut any shoe and every shoe 😅
Kobes have been the exception to the rule out of respect for Kobe, Gigi, and what the shoes mean to so many people. He didn’t cut a new pair of the Kobe 6 Mambacita Protro either, but he did buy an old, beat up single of the same shoe to dissect.
I need to see the new stewie 3 Doctor, please
Dude- the work I had to put in to get a pair was insane- it should be here soonish - never had to work so hard to buy a shoe for more than retail…
can u review the eqlz 247
I’m just not paying for fake leather especially when we’re talking about a shoe that you know over $200.
I'm grateful you don't cut it lol.
why
Yo zach lebron 20s or Wade All city 12
He scored the AC12 higher. You can see the reviews for both on the channel
Pretty lame a lot of people are against you cutting these. End of the day, they’re YOUR shoes that you paid for. Whatever i guess lol
Yeah I mean if it helps even 2-3 people make a buying decision instead of having to process returns it’s worth it - honestly the only reason I don’t on these is because they’re so limited and so many people want a pair so I’d rather keep them in circulation but if and when Nike starts making them as available as the KD’s or Sabrina’s for example, then yeah I’ll start cutting them and doing the full teardowns
In the long run, I do see the Kobe’s become more less like the Jordan Retros - some are hyped, some are gonna be bricks.
But it was gonna be so much cooler if we could see the actual teardown, from you especially
would these be good for pickleball my guy?
Not my first choice that’s for sure
pls do anta kai 1 doc
Serious player only player 1 plus plz doctor ❤
Kobe’s should always have zoom air
Lebron 21 is better
It depends on your playstyle
For sure man.
Yeah but I don’t like lebron 🤷🏽♂️
No it’s not
For sure
im a heavier player and i have achilles tendonitis and arthritis in my knees and I bought these from stockx for 300euros in the venice beach variant. Im really sad right now but thanks for the video.
Nearly 200$ for this kind of quality is kinda 😬
Looks badminton shoes😮
Thanks for mentioning the shoes is unsuitable for narrow foot. No kobe shoes for me 😂
💯🔥
Liked and comment for the algorithm
wow! first comment , first time ever. Love your videos doc
Not big fan for those Kobe, look like a normal sneakers not básquekball shoes. I don't like it.
Real leather is best because it’s not plastic
not gonna cut em? SHAME
Bro, you scared to cut these in half? 😂😅😂😅😂😅😂😅
I would too! 😂😅😂😅😂😅
earlyyyy chaaaaaaaaaaaattt
Dislike for not cutting smh
