i absolutely love this "new" trend of basketball shoes that look like a fashion designer piece yet still perform well on court, that way i can wear my favourite shoes all the time without looking too out of place
As usually professional , detailed and accurate review of basketball shoe . Thanks for ease my decision for new season shoes, looking forward for more colourways . My size is us15 and this is what I been looking for. Thank you Zach for your professional review.
I'd love to see a comparison of the similarties and differences of the 4 carbon core Li-Ning shoes that I'm aware of - WOW11, Yushuai 18 Ultra, JB 2, and Gamma.
BEST REVIEW OF A SHOE PERIOD! Proof is in the fact that the shoes themselves are possibly the best basketball specific shoe in the world, I just bought a pair barely used $150 after shipping and haven't ever worn them yet but I just know their going to be outstanding. For reference I'm a gaurd with wide flat feet size 12. I've worn curry 3z5, KD 7-12-13-14, Kyrie 2-6-7, ETC. They were all similar in terms of grip only lasting half a season, bottom midsole piercing sensation, bulky on foot besides kyrie but it rolled alot, not one shoe I've ever used so far has had good stability. This will be my best quality shoe purchase, so I will update you'll and lyk.
You already have these? 😯 What can i say, really the GOAT of shoe review. Zach, you're really starting to become sort of an "institution", an icon in what you do. 🙌
Amazing review as always zach! Would you ever look into retro reviews of some classics. Such as lebron 11-16, kd 4-12, jordan 28-30 etc. As these are still some goat performers. Would love to see your extreme breakdown of old shoes that still feel top tier today.
As always amazing review doc. I hope you can make a comparison footage bout the bounce test between wow 10 vs 11, and how these feel on your forefoot? Cos for me the wow 10 felt too snug.
Just got my pair in the „team no sleep“ colorway. I completely agree on everything from the review besides the grip. Soles are a dustmagnet and pretty slippery on that colorway. Such a bummer. Besides that a almost perfect shoe for me.
I purchased these based on this review. I do have a wider foot and have been wearing the KD14s for the last few years. I’ve now played ball 3 times with these and not sure how I feel about them. The skin on a couple areas around my ankle rubbed off and my pinky toes are red. I can play through it, but is this because they need to break in?
Any chance you can look at the x tep line. Maybe the ace. They are now the owners of saucony maybe interesting to see what they are doing with their foams.
Great review and very happy to hear how good these sound. However, I'm not a huge fan visually so I'm waiting for the perfect colorway or possibly the low version. Saves me some money...at least in the short term. 😂
Amazing review as always. Probably going to be my next she from the Harden 7’s. Best show of all time imo once you adjust to weight. Zach. I wanted to ask a personal question. I remember when I first subbed. You used to almost shave your head, and I noticed your hair was thin when you started growing it out. Now. It’s looks amazing. Anything special you are doing? Thank you in advance.
Unrelated to the review but I'm hella impressed that the Way of Wade signature line is still going strong and only getting better all these years despite DWade being retired and irrelevant for 5 whole years now
Great breakdown and review. All the info anyone would need to decide if they want these. I love everything about these save for the fact that playing with them outdoors would nuke the outsoles.
Hey foot doctor Zach your reviews are the best, and the WoW seems to be the best basketball shoe so far . Please do a review on the new knit uppers in the “White hot” colorway cause if it’s good breathable I think it’s better than the non breathable leather , it’s expensive shoe so I need to know before buying.
I like the idea of this shoe being a mix of the 808 and the wade 10. The 808 3 regular is the first shoe for me since the kobe 11 that let my feet be feet.
Tommy Liu said if I went half size up on WOW 10, go TTS on these…. Last year you said TTS but I had to go .5 up with the 10’s. Bunion/wide foot but not sure if 2E. What would your guess be for me on the WOW 11?
Maybe you havent already done the shoe, but do you know the differences between the lining yushuai 18 and its ultra version? I like the design and its parts but i dont trust the company’s word. Thanks, doc
Hi Zach, I just got a pair of WoW11 I have some gameday pro insoles from my AC9v2 would it be advised to move the insoles to the WoW11s or keep with the original insoles? I guess my question is do they need them? I've only gotten to play maybe 4 pickup games in them so far.
For me who has sprained one to many ankles I’m glad I went with the way of wade ten for the tighter ankle fit. Also I mean look good play good I love the hall of fame color way on the wow10
@@FootDoctorZach is the collor restrictive? Im coming from th Kobe 9 elite and its just too stiff now. So I'm debating if I should get the 10 or 11. I don't sprain my ankles but Im 42 and still play volleyball. I'm also flat footed and have a really wide foot.
Another great review, thanks Zach! If possible, I would love to see you review the EQLZ 247 which was designed by Aaron Cooper, it would be interesting when it's on your channel :)
How does the fit length wise in comparison to the wade flash. The flash was the first size 13 I’ve had that felt so small. Only used them once and new they were way to small. Don’t know whether to buy a 13 of the wow 11 or a 13.5?
This was probably the most anticipated basketball shoe review of all time, and it exceeded my expectations! Also do you think you’ll be able to review the EQLZ 247 basketball shoe? It was designed by Aaron Cooper, who used to be a designer at Nike.
I love watching your videos as when I need new shoes for volleyball shoes I can find out which ones are best for me. If possible could you test out the way of wade shadow 5 V2 as I think it has been released online 🙏🙏🙏
Looks to me like a somewhat understated WOW version of the first-gen LeBron 21s, with that solid panel, albeit without the blingy themed styling/iridescence, and yet inexcusably priced even higher.
For toe joint protection, is it generally better to go for one of those shoes with a carbon plate insert, or one that fits better like a glove and then put a carbon fiber orthotic in it?
Great review Dr Zach, always given us great quality content!! 💪🏿🧠💯 How great will be you can pay extra to have the outsole of your choice, like the Fission 9 or Son of Flash 1,2 from Li-Ning 🎉🎉🎉 Cannot wait for the review of the Li-Ning Bad Five 3.0 Ultra those are bad boys !!! 🏆🏆🏆
i noticed that the top eyelet is just reinforced with stiching. should i be thinking about adding a metal eyelet to increase durability or is that too much effort?
A bit of a commentary, mainly from observing your channel and Guogedismantling (a Chinese hoop shoes dismantling channel) - Both these and the Yushuai 18 Ultra shared the same backbone that is the 8-shaped carbon fiber shank sandwiched between the Boom foam. Yushuai 18 Regular and Liren 4 (both V1 and V2) got the same shaped shank but made of hard plastic to cut off some cost. These 4 are meant to be the flagships of Li-Ning current lineup alongside the Gammas, which got like an ultra wide carbon fiber shank/lateral claw hybrid a la the Don Issue 4 and the knit upper of their top badminton shoes, the Saga Pro II Max + the JB2 - Related to that, all these 4 used GCU thin rubber instead of the TUFF RB rubber which got harder durometer. Therefore it seems that they're going to reserve the Boom outdoor lineup to both All City and Fission, which is a shame since I kinda wanted that All City bounce but for wide n flat footers.
Was going to buy the WOW 10’s since I like the current color ways available but then saw this and now I might just wait for the 11. The 10’s had a 5 mm drop per the website, is it the same for these ?
hey doc luv ur vids, but cant you review some asics shoes. they really have been doing some big stuff in the b-ball world,. would really like to see your thoughts on those
The shank has the same design as the Yushuai 18 Ultra, in fact the WOW 11 shared several design cues and basic chassis with the Ultras. Both have 8-shaped carbon fiber shank sandwiched inside the Boom foam, but whereas the Ultras opted for extra external shank and a slimmer design, this one opted for Harden 7-8 aesthetic for the external stabilization. Both Dr. Zach here and Guogedismantling has demonstrated it there by dismantling the shoes. The reguler Yushuai 18 also got the same 8-shaped shank but with it being made of stiff plastic instead to cut off the costs. Still the same performer as the Ultra tho, only difference is the fit which is a bit more snug comps to the Ultra.
Another solid release from WoW and Li-ning. Only problem though is it's too damn expensive. They are just not affordable even here in Asia which hovers to around 200-220$ and hardly go on sale. As much as I want to get these it kinda feels criminal when you think there are still good alternatives out there for far cheaper. Anyways, great review as always!

Update?

I appreciate you
This channel is very helpful. Thanks Zach~
I’m amazed at the Way of Wade line of shoes. I have two pair of AC12. They are so good it’s ridiculous.
I’d buy these but I’m not big on white shoes.
it feels illegal to be this early
Thats what she said.
Yeah I got lucky with the shipping timing
Agreed I literally just signed up for the draw last night 😮
It is, you're under arrest!

Yeah I think if they are readily available I will
Also 35s please@@FootDoctorZach
Been waiting to hear about these
Love to review Zach! Looking forward to getting these for my upcoming basketball seasons
As always amazing review doc. I hope you can make a comparison footage bout the bounce test between wow 10 vs 11, and how these feel on your forefoot? Cos for me the wow 10 felt too snug.
Ok yeah it’s official foot doctor Zach is the goat shoe reviewer.
Haha I don’t know about that
@@FootDoctorZach humble goat 🐐
A doubt between this WOW 11 or Lebron 21 for ankle sprainers?!
Love the reviews!!
Hi , great review as always, would you recommend these over Jokic's shoe??? It seems like they're the same, i just don't want a mid top.
I love Zach's videos
Just got my pair in the „team no sleep“ colorway. I completely agree on everything from the review besides the grip. Soles are a dustmagnet and pretty slippery on that colorway. Such a bummer. Besides that a almost perfect shoe for me.
Can you try the new kyries from anta??
I want to see a comparison with the WOW 10 and 9
I purchased these based on this review. I do have a wider foot and have been wearing the KD14s for the last few years. I’ve now played ball 3 times with these and not sure how I feel about them. The skin on a couple areas around my ankle rubbed off and my pinky toes are red. I can play through it, but is this because they need to break in?
Been waiting for this! Would going half size up be better for 2E with an orthotic?

could you include your thoughts for fit with guys with roman shaped feet. I feel like that is missing in a lot of reviews.
If your foot is more narrow Might wanna go a half size down if you want them to fit like the 808 3 v2
Especially in the heel area

Bunion/wide foot but not sure if 2E. What would your guess be for me on the WOW 11?

Maybe you havent already done the shoe, but do you know the differences between the lining yushuai 18 and its ultra version? I like the design and its parts but i dont trust the company’s word. Thanks, doc

Can you please do maybe the Nike pegasus 41
I have them now
For me who has sprained one to many ankles I’m glad I went with the way of wade ten for the tighter ankle fit. Also I mean look good play good I love the hall of fame color way on the wow10
Yeah for sprainers the 10 is still a bit better IMO

@@FootDoctorZach and its not a long pointy stick... look at this length its insane man
Thanks for the review doc! Was wondering if you have any intentions to review the EQLZ 247?
Yep this question has been asked 100 time now lol- I can’t get my size so once I’m allowed to buy them I will
Another great review, thanks Zach!
If possible, I would love to see you review the EQLZ 247 which was designed by Aaron Cooper, it would be interesting when it's on your channel :)
What’s better the wow 11 or Sabrina 2?
How does the fit length wise in comparison to the wade flash. The flash was the first size 13 I’ve had that felt so small. Only used them once and new they were way to small. Don’t know whether to buy a 13 of the wow 11 or a 13.5?
Doc between this one and anta kt9, which one do you recommend me? Also I have knee pain since my childhood
I’m wearing a2-dx, plz give me a size recomendation like half size up or keep true to size.
Do I need half size up with a2-dx in this shoe??
What about the ankle height? Does it feel like a 10 low or more of a high top traditional basketball shoe?
Hey doctor zach so for painted courts which shoe would you recommend (outdoor) pls respond
Rank best to worst please Zach. Lebron21, wow10, wow11, big3 5.0 quick pro, jb2 , kawhi 4
Do you think wow11 is better with move game day insole or should i stick to stock insoles?
I'm excited to see the other colorways. I missed on the 10's cherry blossom colorway and now I'm Sad! The price is INSANE!
This was probably the most anticipated basketball shoe review of all time, and it exceeded my expectations! Also do you think you’ll be able to review the EQLZ 247 basketball shoe? It was designed by Aaron Cooper, who used to be a designer at Nike.

They’re in my bag now
does the WoW 10 also scores this high? old video seems no scoring system yet
This video is great what should I get the Sabrina 2 or wow 11
Can you review the Liren 4 v2?
Looks to me like a somewhat understated WOW version of the first-gen LeBron 21s, with that solid panel, albeit without the blingy themed styling/iridescence, and yet inexcusably priced even higher.
For toe joint protection, is it generally better to go for one of those shoes with a carbon plate insert, or one that fits better like a glove and then put a carbon fiber orthotic in it?
CF insoles are temperamental - if you’re going to do something directly under foot it should be under the supervision of a physician
@@FootDoctorZach my physician is the one who told me to get one! Temperamental in what way?
Would you review Jlin 5?
can you do a side by side comparison video on the wow 10 and wow 11?
hey Zach do you know LINING has a shoe called Badfive which is looking really badass
U think that the wow 11 it's better than 10? Especially the bouncy?
Great review Dr Zach, always given us great quality content!! 💪🏿🧠💯
How great will be you can pay extra to have the outsole of your choice, like the Fission 9 or Son of Flash 1,2 from Li-Ning 🎉🎉🎉
Cannot wait for the review of the Li-Ning Bad Five 3.0 Ultra those are bad boys !!! 🏆🏆🏆
i didn't even get the notif just went to fdz's channel and saw this😂 solid review doc!!!!
i noticed that the top eyelet is just reinforced with stiching. should i be thinking about adding a metal eyelet to increase durability or is that too much effort?
If I would I’d do it with molskin or something flexible
My pinky toes are hurting when I slightly tighten the lace. Cant get the sweet spot for the lace
Can you please do a review on the Way of Wade All City 12 Encore?
Wow you got these even before the draw! Great review!
I am a ankle sprainer, wondering which would be better for me the 10's or the 11's??
He mentioned on a comment the 10s would be better for a ankle sprainer.
hey I can't find bounce test numbers on the WoW 10s (i checked video and the spreadsheet), how would these 2 shoes compare in that metric?
Can you do like lining shining 1 please im curious about the details

What platform can you find the other channel on? It seems interesting
@@liminalsunset it's on YT too
Would you recommend putting VKTRY insoles in them?
It already has a long CF component to it, i dont see them doing much to improve it
Croatia socks thumbnail all the way 👍
Was going to buy the WOW 10’s since I like the current color ways available but then saw this and now I might just wait for the 11. The 10’s had a 5 mm drop per the website, is it the same for these ?
The drop is in the video I can’t think of it off the top of my head
I've been watching your videos for a while.. what are you saying "respect your ???? and foam"?
hey doc luv ur vids, but cant you review some asics shoes. they really have been doing some big stuff in the b-ball world,. would really like to see your thoughts on those
Not available in my area
I'm wondering what's your total score for WoW 10?
Are these worth upgrading from the wow 10?
These seem great. Not sure if I want a basically all white color way.
I'm sure they'll have a bunch of colorways
I’d just wait. WOW always comes out with phenomenal color ways
What do u think Is better the 10 or 11
The goat 🐐 so happy he got these
Is there a notable difference between foam and mesh strobel boards?
Its just a feel thing to me
Do you have two pairs and use one to cut? Or you play in them and then cut them after use
Just one
How is the shank full length? It clearly is only in the midfoot? Am I missing something here?
It crosses at the midpoint, the shank is shaped like an “x”
It’s like the Jordan 38, it has an x plate design with a hole cut in the heel for more compression
The shank has the same design as the Yushuai 18 Ultra, in fact the WOW 11 shared several design cues and basic chassis with the Ultras. Both have 8-shaped carbon fiber shank sandwiched inside the Boom foam, but whereas the Ultras opted for extra external shank and a slimmer design, this one opted for Harden 7-8 aesthetic for the external stabilization.

Ahhhh gotcha thanks people
Thanks doctor.
Do you know the retail price of these? Thank you.

how do you have em already 👀

Zach these orthotic friendly?
hi Zach what size should i get for a 273cm?
The looks on the serious player only ranger are crazy id be glad if you’d check themout
The outsole of Wow 11 is similar to Anta Kai 1, Very Soft but Super Durable, They Cook some good Stuffs this year 👌😩
