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 tennis shoe's functional attributes on the tennis and 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
- Anta basketball shoe technology explained

Ngl, this is the only shoe you’ve ever reviewed that actually hurt to see cut up, lol. Awesome that you reviewed these tho. The KT line is my favorite basketball shoe line and has been for quite some time now. They’re so consistent and fit so well.
Haha yeah me too actually I think I may buy another pair - yeah these are my favorite shoes so far this year by a long shot
Especially after I saw the price
Yea, same on cutting open the shoe, these’re gorgeous.
Where to buy these?
@@patricktuwaidan4705 the Chinese re sellers like anta shop and wow sole, about 400. OAKLANDISH had them for 200 but spotted in terms of sizing, up to 10 and 12.5 left I think
Glad I found your channel last June '23, it helped me buy my pair of kicks as someone who just got back to playing basketball. Keep Rockin Doc!
I have the standard version KT7, just love it. Amazed how much progress anta has made in making performance sneaker! G value for money!
For sure
great review more lining and anta reviews pls
Great Review, Cannot wait for the Anta Shock the game 5.0 🔥🔥🔥
Love your channel, been subscribed a while and love that you really do more than just "popular" brands it has really opened up my choices. Also I love that you seem to mostly gravitate to Tennis and Basketball which are the 2 sports I like to play the most. I would love to see more videos (like your recent one) on the best combination basketball/tennis multiuse type shoes as it really helps someone like me with a more limited budget.
Great Work!
Thanks! Yeah I’ve found a lot of people like to cross sports with one sneaker so I’ll be doing a lot of best of stuff-
glad to see this review doc
These reviews are top notch, thank Doc!
cool, cool
The KT7s are definitely a staple in my rotation (I have the Rocco colorway). Even the regular versions with laces have really good lockdown. And the traction and cushioning setup is amazing. As you said they’re nimble. Actually they’re surprisingly nimble even though it may not look like it, and the cushioning still offers plenty of impact protection and bounce.
And I can say that they’re a good rehab shoe as well. Over the last two weeks the KT7s has been the only shoe I’ve been wearing on court as I’ve been dealing with some minor knee pains, and the KT7s have been a very big help.
what size did you go with versus other shoes in your rotation?!
@@jakej722 I went with my true to size for basketball shoes, which in my case is a size 10
Been waiting for these! I love Anta's shoes. Would love a review for something like the GH2s
👍👍👍
that lace tie system was used in downhill hill Mt bike shoes mid cut by company in 1999 called SIDI they make all kind of motorcycle & Mt bike shoes
Great review Zach. KT7 is on my top 3 rotations now. It’s a really great shoes
Yeah really solid- surprised me
thank you for your objective reviews, you give feelings and back it up with metrics
Glad to see you cover the kt7 koi fish. Nice to know that the boa system doesn't work his greatest some of the other shoes you always hit the mark on the answers we're looking for you're doing a great job great video
More to come!
Cannot wait for the KT 7 Low Bahamas those 🔥🔥🔥
I've been waiting for this video since December! Thanks, Doc. As a frequent ankle sprainer, you just thoroughly convinced me that this is my next basketball performance shoe.
I think they should have put the BOA system in all their colorways.
I think they should have too- glad you liked it!
Really liking your videos! Awesome detail that’s helping make more informed decisions buying my next pair. I realise these shoes aren’t in your usual wheelhouse, but would be interested to get your opinion on the ‘bare foot’ category of shoes like Vivo. I’m not sure they’re really doing what they say they’re doing and it’s tough to find credible info online.
Thanks! Yeah barefoot running, to me anyway, is something poorly understood and evangelized too heavily
Hi! Doc, hope your in good well. Thanks for knowledgeable thoughts and educational reviews on this shoes. Appreciated it! 👍 More power to you.
Glad you like them!
Yup, anyway Doc. how can I cope on KT 7 basketball shoes koi fish?
I got them on Oaklandish
@@FootDoctorZach How can this happen Doc? Because my country is from Phillipines, it is possible to do so?
I used the Boa system in my snowboard boots for years. For the most part I was happy with them, but I went back to laces and I was able to adjust the tension much better. I don't know if I could use the system on Basketball kicks,
Hope you can do a Way of Wade 9 with BOA feature too. Would be nice to compare it with these.
Have you considered a breakdown of the the Li-Ning yushuai 15 or Anta Shock the Game 5.0 pro?
Nice. Great video, as usual. The Harden Vol 6 is about to release. Are you planning on reviewing that model?
In the mail actually
Doc. Second demotion your right 👍 BOA lacing system, is the best than old style design it's like futuristic for the better life.
I'm so glad I found this channel! Your reviews are amazingly detailed and practical. It is really refreshing to see reviews not just from a "sneakerhead perspective".How would you say do the KT7 compare to the KT4 or 5, if you have tested those? I'm kind of missing that traction pattern from KT3,4 and 5
Thanks! Glad you liked it - at least for me it’s similar but my memory is a tad fuzzy on those models
KT7 is so far the best. You need to try the cushion, its even better than LiNing's boom, way bouncier than Boost, yet provide more shock absorption just like Zach said. It might sound crazy, if we are only talking about cushion, I think both Anta and Lining have better technology than Adidas, UA, PUMA, etc. This tech is as responsive as Zoom air but more stable since it will eventually change to a shape which fit your foot.
@@manglu859 Already ordered my pair ! Can't wait to try them out. And yeah, I agree. All the KT's I had so far (up from the KT3 low) were absolutely great in that area - way better than Nike or adidas with similiar price points. Also they just fit me better
I have kt5 low. which is missing inside support, foam is not that great. KT7 is on a whole new level, it is unbelievable how much they got better.
I hope you can grab the Jordan 33, 33 low and the BB Adapt. You'll get the kick on cutting those up.
Really dig the kt7 lows but i was wondering what size to get since i can only get them online.. coming from a nike sizing (kd14).. should i get the same size for these?
The best koi colourway ever. A pair I'd love to be able to get in Europe.
Can you do a review on the regular shoes of KT7 😊
I'd love it if you can somehow review kobe 5-11. big fan how the kobe line but im a chronic ankle sprainer
Hi doctor,
I’m a 2E in width, and I’m flat footed. I wear a 10 in the pg6 and every adidas shoe, but a 10.5 in about any other Nike shoe than the pg6, such as kyrie 8 and aj36. Should I go 10.5 or 10?
Could you please do a KT7 AJ36 comparison video 🙏
Huh, I thought you would have liked regular laces more.
Thanks for the wonderful review I found it very helpful.
Thanks! Yeah the boa is just much more consistent
Nike canceled my GT Jump order so I just ordered these. Thanks for another great video!
Oh man that’s a bummer but honestly - I liked these a bit better
@@FootDoctorZach cool thanks. I’ve looked into purchasing Anta or Li Ning shoes before but they never had my size. This is the first time I’ve seen them over size 11. I’m looking forward to hooping in them. I didn’t know they existed until your video.Thanks again for recommending them!
I think I found a perfect shoe for myself :) been hurting my heel because of plantar fasciitis. tried different shoes still hurting my heel - I think kt7 is the answer.
hey zach surely do the adidas pro next 2021
would the BOA lacing affect much of the basketball experience?
Which onee is better anta k7 or Two wxy v4 please give me advice ?
I wear an 11.5 in most Nike shoes and 12 in some of the more narrow shoes (Kyries and earlier KDs) Anta doesn’t offer 11.5, what size would you suggest I select for these ?
is it suitable for outdoor courts ?
Good for what positions?
does this slip in rainy season we have outdoor court nd are this waterproof or water resistance
not a fan of my KT6 due to how bad it was for my feet, very interested in the Boa system due to golf, might give Anta another chance after trying these out by their shop later.
This color way 🔥🔥🔥 Where can I buy a pair of these??
Great review Zach. I really like Anta shoes in general. The KT7 is Klay Thompson signature shoe. I believe the Boa edition is a China domestic model as they are not licensed to export the Boa system. Personally I prefer the KT low series. The KT5 Low & KT6 Low were fantastic shoes so I'm waiting for the KT7 Low. Another shoe you can consider is the GH3 - Gordon Haywards signature shoe. The GH series are more suited for people with narrow feet. Anta really knows how to make a "themed" shoe!
Thanks! Yeah I’m excited to get them on foot
They remind me of a more useful updated version of Foamposites. These look great and solid.
noticed this shoe for a while. bought one pair right after this video👍
Hope they work well for you!
Best surfaces and positions for this shoe?
Im stuck between buying dame 8 and kt 7 low. Please help me. Thank you.
The fit is true to size?
Would you be willing to test the APL Concept X?
Beautiful midsole ! How does it compares to the asics court ff 2 ? They have the same heel height (2.7) and similar heel to toe drop.
Completely different -apples and oranges- these much more lively
Zach, do you think those winglets are designed to protect Klay's Achilles from getting reinjured? it seems to me that they spent a considerable time designing around heel stability so it doesn't slide around and put his achilles tendon in a weird angle.
Not sure- they’re also to keep the foam from deforming
When will you analiza the Babolat Propulse models? Do they really propulse your feet at service. Here in Spain are ver y popular. Thanks
Thanks Doctor!
You're right , kt1pro has good Cushioning. You could test it
As a indoor basketball court player in dusty gyms what would you recommend? Top 5? Need something solid with killer traction on dust. Heard the KT 5 low was solid
This is a great idea for a video - I’d have to think about it
@@FootDoctorZach looking forward to that video Doc!
Watched this and was ready to buy it until i saw the price. Unfortunately cant afford it rn but great video man!
Yeah the Kois were not cheap
Hi Zach, do you have any plan to review some li-ning shoes?
Yep 👍
After watching quite a few of your vids Doc, this is that 1st time where I'm like "No! Dont cut these shoes!!"
D rose 7 have that thing where sole is smaller than the like contact sole thing
No lie, when you cut up the shoe, I was aghast... but when you broke everything down, I was like... I'll get that shoe like right now, if i could find them! plus the whole focal point of you talk about foot comfort is essential to everything.
Glad it helped! Yeah theyre hard to find ATM after the review i think a lot of people bought them but they still have some on oaklandish
the Klay shoes are solid and full of tech every gen. it is a crime they dont carry them in any local stores
Been a fan of the KT line. Got me a KT3 Low and KT4 Low because of Chris' review in Weartesters. But now, I appreciate this more because mainly, who will argue with an actual foot doctor?! 👊🏼
But can you give your expert opinion on the KT7 Low? What could be the main difference and advantage of a low top?
Lows to me are more about "feeling" than actual difference in performance, not really a huge fan of lows in hoops just because you dont get the feedback a mid or high gives you
@@FootDoctorZach gotcha doc! 👊🏼 Appreciate your contents! ❤️
Is this shoe suitable with orthotics with an extrinsic heel post? And what position do you recommend for wearing these shoes?
Should be but id have to see how high the heels are - These are more of an all court shoe but if I had to say one itd probably be point guard or shooting guard
@@FootDoctorZach Is there a way for me to show you? Also, would I have to size up or TTS is fine?
Does someone know where to get them?
Does the boa lacing on the anta kt7 break easily im considering the shoe but im not sure if they are going to break easily or snap.
Not in my experience
@@FootDoctorZach where did you buy the shoes from since I am considering buying the shoes.
You say these are pretty quick, but what is the average weight? Good for singles pickleball?
Yep good for pickleball just not as durable- weight is in the video
I'm a heavy flat footed player and wanted to give these a try. Do they come in a US 11.5? I can't seem to find them anywhere
Im sure on resale sites they do
@@FootDoctorZach Thanks I'll give it another try
this shoe are beautiful ... gonna order myself one
from where?
Can you do one on anta stg 5.0?
Do you like these better then the gt jump
Just different- both good
Awesome video, would you say these run long (like the kt3) or true to size/snug like the KT4 and 5? I usually wear an 11 but only a 10.5 is available and no returns allowed. My foot is sort of wide but not over 2e. I noticed in the vid you said they were generous but I didn't mean if that meant long or wide. Thank you in advance, I love your channel, only one I subscribe to!
Thanks! I got a size down and had no problems so they do expand pretty well- they maybe a tad long
Thanks, maybe a half size down won't be so bad then. I wish Anta had better US distribution but I know they tried.
Does anyone wear a size 11.5 (U.S. Size) have KT7s? If so, what size do you buy them in and where do you buy them?
how long do you think it would last on an outdoor court
Depends on your footwork but in the middle of the road durability wise
Do you only get one pair or two for when your tearing down your shoes?
Depends- most times 1- play 3-4 times, do the tests, wear them to work then cut them open during filming the review
@@FootDoctorZach that’s pretty cool and makes the most sense
I hope u measure the weight of the shoes also, can u review more chinese brand. Been watching ur vids and it is lit
The weight is in the teardown section
this reminds me of the Drose 7
Good for outdoor?
discussed in the video in detail
Eyyy now we reviewing Chinese shoes haha, can't wait for the Way of Wades to come 😁. For more to come my man, stay 🔥🔥🔥
More to come!
Where did you oreder thoes from? I can't find them anywhere. I am from Europe btw
Oaklandish
Where did you purchase them?
Oaklandish
Great shoe over all by anta to be honest but what if the boa tech malfunctioned?
Then that’s the ball game - you could put laces through the eyelets but still would be wonky
theyre sold out on famugi any safe website to buy anta shoes?
I got mine on oaklandish
can't find these on stockx, goat or even ebay. too bad for anta, they had a banger with these imo
wow this shoes is good
Yup- loved them
can I ask for shoes even if they are old it's ok, my feet are size 11, I hope you can read my comment thank you
as soon as you said "snake bitten" I felt it in my knees
lol I feel you...
where can we buy this shoe in the usa ?
Not sure anymore- probably ebay
This, KT8 or WOW 10?
All good but I like the wow 10
@@FootDoctorZach thanks! Yea I’m hoping some different color ways drop since I’m not feeling the current ones that are available.
Seeing you cut those hurt me to my soul, bro! 😭
BOA should be made mandatory!.
Plzz do lebron 5
I thought you were about to dunk on the slow motion layup. 😂
Hahaha yeah dunk a cookie in my coffee after recording that video maybe
nice shoes.. just not a fan of splatter paint look.. makes it look like Walmart or cheap Amazon sneaker should of kept clean look of kt7
Still pissed off these never dropped here in Australia
chinese brand basketball shoes are underrated
i'd cop em if only anta releases above size 12 😭
Yeah really what’s up with that? I had to get a 10.5
@@FootDoctorZach from what i've heard, anta being a chinese company mainly prioritize releases for the chinese demographic
i had a pair of gh2's and i had to go true to size 12 as a wide footer. my toenails got bruised
Great review: However, all of your puns are intended
Nooo whyyyy you do that.😱😱😱 😆 Im joking but dont do that again pleaseeee.. Lol I kidding. Gretings from México I love your videos 👌
haha sorry! they were tough to cut - i think i may try and find another to have for myself
@@FootDoctorZach yeah for sure, 👍
Funny fact: in Brazil, “anta” means dumb
