If there's a Nike swoosh logo on this pair, it'll be right up there on the best basketball sneakers for the year. I'm just glad there are brands really challenging the powerhouses (Nike, Adidas, UA) by providing value-for-money performance shoes. In the end, the consumers win.
I hear you lil bro…but relax on the “consumer wins” bit. These shoes cost less than $10 to make…and kids/adults everywhere eat them up for 200% profit returns…Big Business is Winning frfr
@@lochl2almost all of my Nike shoes broke in just a year or so. Glad I tried shoes made by Chinese brands. They are very durable and even if some are expensive, they are worth it cause most materials used weren't cheap
The Chinese brands just know how to make basketball shoes, price wise they’re usually playing above what your paying. If only they were more assessable in stores here in the States. I’d love to try on some of these shoes before I buy them.
The Chinese brands like Li-Ning & Anta are getting better at making basketball shoes, I hope they'll continue to do so. I'm excited & can't wait to see the Anta Kyrie's 1st signature shoe, I already copped the Anta Shockwave 5 Dark Matter
Great Review Dr.Zach 💪🏿🧠 Hopefully you can get and review the following 3 pair of shoes that will be great performers: ( 361 BIG3 4.0 PRO either or Switch/Quick ) ( Li-Ning Bad Five 3 Ultra ) ( Anta KT 9 ) 💯🔥🏆
This is a long shot but just wanted to see if anyone had a good basketball shoe for plantar fasciatis. Right now I use the kyrie 5 low and there is no discomfort at all. But wanted to see if there is any other shoes that my be as good or better.
Hey Zach, shoes are great and feel great on foot, but I bought these hoping for really good containment. Although the traction and cushion is great, the heel slippage is causing problems even though I have a runners knot through, bought thicker socks, and tried your methods. Anything else?
Hey Doc thanks for your videos. They are very helpful for me. You mention that these would work better for lighter forwards. Could they be an option for heavier players (230lbs+) 😅? I also have flat feet. You mention the width being one worry area. Did you experience foot cramping until break-in?
I think you got the speed ratio wrong. Nice video as usual though. Looking forward for more reviews, especially the other shoes like the Puma Stewie 2 which is out for some months now, and the Curry 4 Low Flotro that came out recently.
I think they've probably done the engineering behind it. My guess if it can handle the pressures put on it by an NBA player, then everyday hoopers should be good with it too.
Awesome shoe, but there's something bothering me: there the hollow shank, so there's nothing beneath the shoe arch? So good chance the arch will collapse pretty quickly once the midsole is bottomed out?
Doubt it... the rigorers were/are the exact same way with the hollow shank and never bottomed out and the rigorer 2 was the shoe austin played in all season last year
I'm 10.5US in AJ11, but had to go for 11US in the AR1 because no half size was available. I consider myself slightly wide footed and can absolutely say 10US would have been too tight for me: crazy lockdown from the midfoot all the way towards the heel, but not enough to cut off circulation - performance fit as Zach says. Had to take a hit length wise, but due to the lockdown I didn't feel like I was slipping in the shoe at all. I'm just used to my basketball sneakers 0.5cm or so shorter.

Thank you for your praise of the Chinese sneaker brand.I am from China. In recent years,a lot of NBA players choose Chinese brand and promote their development.
Third most important player on the lakers... tjird leading scorer on the lakers... highest pure shooting percentage of any guard in the nba last year... highest layup percentage of amy player in the nba (regardless of position) last season... can play 4 diffeent poaitions if needed... i can go on
@@richardgrace5043 🤣 I heard a lot 3rd's and Army isn't getting the highest level of basketball players to beat out. Yes please continue because I'm welling to bet half of the NBA have a player on the team with that description.
@@iamstillshow the true color, hater? Half of the NBA have the highest true shooting percentage? Are u just a blind hater or just being plain stupid? Keep hating because it can only bring u more suffering as AR will continue his way to stardom
Maybe when AD becomes reliable and efficient... only thing you can currently rely on AD for is too maybe drop 20+ one game but you can guarantee he will drop like 8 the next game amd for the next week or so if he does... also he is reliable to get injired a good bit and miss 30+ games a season
Big men generally don't sell shoes. Giannis might be an outlier because he's a main ball handler. I also assume that Rigorer can't afford AD, Reaves gives them access to the massive Laker fan base. Maybe they'll sign more expensive players as the company grows.

facts actually paying for good quality basketball shoe built for performance not mass consumers
New Balance have been my go-to brand of late. Tired of Nike's poor durability, narrow fit, and excessively low cut shoes
Ya for real. I'm putting serious consideration into buying these just because they're not Nike/Adidas

Well they’ve had years of making shoes for American brands so they had a up close seat of how they were made lol

For real man, I love that China is giving major brands competition, we bout to see major tech upgrades hopefully soon
Where you buy from ?
@@tster2tap218 if your USA you can buy them from famujisneakers
They make better shoes than Nike and Adidas wym. It's the marketing that's holding them back.
YOU SIR, are HIM. Thanks!
Can you bring back the jump height test? Im always interested in what the shank does, not just the foam/air
Great Review Dr.Zach 💪🏿🧠

No cramping - I don’t see why they wouldn’t work for heavier players - just best for lighter
@@FootDoctorZach Thank you so much 😁. Really appreciate it.
hey zach, roughly how long did your shoes take for arrival. in australia specifically
Hi Zach ! Merry xmass ! One simple question, Wade 808 Ultra V3 or Rigorer AR1 ?
ar1 are completely better, i have the ice cream ones and 😍😍. only 100 for a great shoe
Which Shoe Is Better The Ar1s Or The Nike James Hardens Vol 7
How would you say this measures up to the sabrina 1??
for a size men 11 in both pairs the ar1s are more bulky but the sabrinas and ar1s both weigh about the same
Should I get the ar1 or the fission 8
I think you got the speed ratio wrong. Nice video as usual though. Looking forward for more reviews, especially the other shoes like the Puma Stewie 2 which is out for some months now, and the Curry 4 Low Flotro that came out recently.
Doctor, do you think that this shoe is good for outdoor courts?
Like, training 2-3 times in de week
Love your vídeos, learn so much from you ❤🇧🇷
How do these compare to the Currys & Sabrinas in terms of containment and response?
Thanks for the video. You sold me on the N3xt Level for tennis. I bought 15 pairs of them. Whats your thought on these for Tennis?
Anyone know where I can get the socks he's rocking at 4:08??
they come with the shoe set
Would you say these are better, equal, or worse that Way of Wade 11s or 12s?
I’m actually looking to pick them up for my son, do you think a move game day would be to much shank?
my concern on it would really be the shank since, i think i can shatter it if i landed hard on it😂 hopefully i'm wrong

@@waheguru1313don’t forget nba players only play on them once
Adidas, Jordan brand basketball shoes also use plastic shanks. Probably Nike too but I can't think of a specific model right now.
@@timdunning8790 it depends on the player. Already saw interviews of players before.
@@timdunning8790nope dey play it everyday just different colorway
Do you know where I can buy them in Europe without having to pay so much for shipping?
I’m a size 10.5 and I only see full sizes everywhere. Normal foot. Should I go 10 or 11?
I always thought that Nike should use zoom X pucks in some of its bball shoes.
G.T. Cut 3 will be using Zoom X
if my size on lining is 11 can o get this in 11 too
Need the Puma All Pro Nitro review! Hearing they are top performers with great tech!

Hi doc! AG4 is out now!
can these help me with shin splints?
Should i have gone with these instead of the Ja 1s?
I’m a size 10.5 (Adidas and Nike) they don’t have my size on the site should I go for an 11 or 10

Wade 808 3 Ultra or AR 1 for outdoor concrete
could you rate the wow10 with your universal rating system ?
Does 160 count as light for a center
the blue socks look lit what socks are those
Hi guys,
What is the best shoe to buy between 361° BIG3 5.0 Quick Pro and Rigorer AR 1?
Thanks!
Quick pro
Been waiting of my dude AR here but I’m waiting for his laker cw!
Hey doc could you review the puma all pro nitro
Can u do a review on the under armour lockdown 6 please?
It might be time for a best of 2023 (so far) list for the fall
AR has his own shoe? Good for him, hopefully it helps make up for his relatively cheap contract.
TF 😂 cheap contract lmfao
it's good than wow808 3 ultra or not?
Just nervous to buy because no returns if they don’t fit
Hope you can do the And1 Attack 3.0, absolutely underappreciated 🫣
Are these just for the court?
Yep
Still waiting for the andrew wiggins AW1 switch
The lakers colorway 🔥🔥🔥‼️
Do these fit true to size?
Watch the video and find out
Those are really sweet
Chinese brands are getting better and better every year, hopefully they’ll continue to do so.

I’m seeing it for 150
