Hi Dr. Zach.. Im a true 11 wide (but wear 11.5 because of orthotics) , since the Kyries dont come in 11.5... should i go with 11 and just wait for it to break in or going for a sz12 is best?
man! that grip test ramp @05:20 is so innovative. I’ve never seen any youtube reviewer done that. hats off, slow clap 👏🏻 & standing ovation for that one doc.
Well some of them seem functionally useless to be honest (e.g. KD14, Nike Kyrie 6, ... they never stay strapped during play). While when done correctly, you fill like having a glove on your feet, which is the best fit imaginable. 😊
Just received mine and I’m happy I listened to you compared to anyone else. You said to up a half size if you have wide feet, whilst everyone else said go true to size or they run big in general. Haven’t missed listening to you yet Doc!
@adamkanizsai2990 I am pretty sure the first two colorways were limited on purpose. The next ones will be more widely available. The blue ones and white ones for example
Love your reviews, the breakdown of the shoe is always nice to see. I will definitely be buying these soon. I’ve always hooped in the kyries, and kyries always have the best lockdown. I bought the AE1’s and like the grip but I don’t really like the lockdown of them, they feel loose like my foot isn’t apart of the shoe if that makes sense. The best part about kyries is that they feel one with your foot and don’t feel like they are slipping around in the shoe.
the comment i was looking for. if there was foot sliding inside the shoe because this is a problem i have with shoes like wade ac12 etc. let me go get a pair 💪🏾
This seems like a PE Nike Kyrie. So the full length cushioning + carbon fiber shank, that Nike would not give to the masses. Now that Kyrie has the reins at Anta, he gave us what we wanted and more for the same price, you just love to see it!
These shoes feel great off the rip. I can see why people like them. Just a word of warning, Ive had 3 ACL reconstruction surgeries and NOTHING has ever made my knees feel as bad next day as these Kai 1s. I will still be rocking them off court 🔥
I love how you summarize who the shoe would be good/bad for. I have been experiencing ball of foot pain lately and the fact that that shows up as a pro/con in a review video is outstanding. Keep up the great work!
I have a problem with heel slippage even with going tts and If I size down it's very snug fit which I don't like but the heel slippage is still there so that really sucks... If there wasn't that huge problem with the fit of the shoe than it would be one of the best buys right now on the market for budget shoes.
Just grabbed the green grails. I’m a size 15. Right now I’m WOW AC12, and Kobe 6 and 9. So I’m interested to try it. I’m past my prime playing days but I love shoes. So my wife just shakes her head when I’m in new shoes again. But these and all the above are gym only. She’ll never know unless she reads this.
A decent sized carbon fiber shank on a $125 shoe with they’re nicest midsole. Also the traction pattern is very interesting, the punched in patterns similar to Jordan 7s seem to last the longest even with softer rubbers such as these. & they are just as reliable as herringbone.
You by far have the best test methods. Do you think that using a larger ball bearing closer in size to the balls of your feet would be more accurate with the ball bounce test?
Maybe but it’s hard to get the size big enough to be somewhat meaningful but not too big as to not be able to control it - I’ve tested a few of them and this was was the easiest / most reproducible
These are really low to the ground which I would like if only they were not so limited. Here in the Philippines they released in one Anta outlet and the stock was only a hundred and limited to one pair person! I wished they were more available to the public because kyrie's sell really well in the market.
Maybe people ought to tweet Kyrie and ask that he improve the availability of his sneakers so that real hoopers can use it. He is an executive at ANTA so he might have a say. But more likely ANTA wasn’t ready for the demand of Kyrie shoes …hopefully supply chain will improve. It was sold out everywhere. America and Singapore ran out as well.
How would you rate these shoes outdoors? And how do they compare to the Kai 1 speeds? I primarily hoop outdoors so I'm looking for a shoe which can sustain rigorous outdoor usage.
So I bought the twin flames and I think the front toe box has to much space. I want to try the ones in the video. But idk if they are more narrow in the toe which is what I like since I find that similar to Kyrie 7s and those are the only shoes that I feel fit me well.
What if you never wore Anta BB shoes, and I wanna get a pair and I was gonna go with 11, which is what my size is for Nike but i know the size is different, I do have a pair of WOW 8083s and those are a 10 and they fit perfect, should I get a 10 in this then as well? I need an answer asap haha
Hey zach, i just found out that anta has a secret signature named kt three-point rain 1. Appearently, the 2nd version just came out. Can you do that shoe.
Just wondering if you can help me out choosing a shoe i should buy. I am currently looking at either these or the wade all city 12 encores. I am a shifty, explosive light & small guard that plays only on indoor courts (some are super clean but also some are pretty dusty) I want to be comfortable and have a bit of bounce in my shoes while also having good shock absorbance. Also i dont want no heel slippage. If there's any small things people might have left out in their reviews about either of the shoes that would also help thanks
Hu Zach I am 1.99 tall and I weigh 138 kilos I have a question I am looking for high sturdy shoes for my ankles and tight on the foot I am now wearing Air Jordan MVP high which one do you recommend Nike GT Jump 2 or do you have another good proposal that you would recommend to me, I play as a center. I would like to hear from you regards, Jeff
hey doc... im a true 11 2E, since these run short and is not available in 11.5... will a 12 still fit me fine? or this is a shoe that I should just pass?
Hello everyone. New to running. Looking for some recommendations for daily running shoes. I am looking for something i can run for short runs (1-3 miles), sprints, and agility training. Would truly like some thoughts or be pointed in the right direction. Thank you everyone!
@@FootDoctorZach gotcha, looking for a something low to the ground. I’ll definitely be picking up a pair of Two Wxy V4’s with your affiliate link but I’m also trying to find a more court feel pair. Can’t get over the looks of the Kobe 6 Dark Knight tho 😫
Hey Zach I know this is a bit off topic for this vid but for the Way of wade 10s everyone is saying go 1/2 size up. But I have done this before in other shoes and noticed they made me slip. So should I go TTS as I have a normal width foot.
Chinese company doesn’t disappoint both consumers and their signature athletes. Look at Wade of Wade line. Edit: Zach, what’s the bounciest basketball shoes based on all your bounce test?
I don't buy a basketball sneaker until I watch one of your videos of the model I want. I'm surprised it took me so long to see this video! I have plantar fasciitis and have been trying to find a shoe that'll be able to tame it (at least). Any suggestion on what would help other than a specific shoe?

I really love all your shoe reviews. Very detailed and informative. 👏
Btw Dr. Zach, are the Anta Kai 1's good for small forwards to power forwards too?
It's time for a best of spring 2024 list!
I love how you summarize who the shoe would be good/bad for. I have been experiencing ball of foot pain lately and the fact that that shows up as a pro/con in a review video is outstanding. Keep up the great work!

But these and all the above are gym only.
She’ll never know unless she reads this.
Hey doc would u ever consider reviewing xtep shoes? Specifically the Jeremy Lin line?
Maybe at some point
A decent sized carbon fiber shank on a $125 shoe with they’re nicest midsole. Also the traction pattern is very interesting, the punched in patterns similar to Jordan 7s seem to last the longest even with softer rubbers such as these. & they are just as reliable as herringbone.
Hey Zach. Any chance you could test a whole bunch of retro basketball shoes on the grip ramp?
Can you do the uncivilized sneaker 2.0 by the kneesovertoesguy and uncivilized athletics
Will you ever review the Shockwave 5 Pro? Wanted to get your thoughts on them!
Video I was waiting for.
You by far have the best test methods. Do you think that using a larger ball bearing closer in size to the balls of your feet would be more accurate with the ball bounce test?

Great video, very informative.
And when is the next drop?
Damn, docs body and glow transformations now evident
Haha I wasn’t aware I had a glow up but thanks!
I wasn't planning on buying one but when I saw that you had a review on them, I copped the white one out of whim.😂
Should I wear my GameDay pro orthotics or would that be overkill since there is a top loaded shank? Thank you for the review.
Shank and orthotics have different benefits so a good shank will actually help your orthotics along
@@FootDoctorZach Thank you

Love the vid, question: How are these for someone with knee (patella) issues? I usually wear a 12 should I get at 12.5 or 13?
So if these shoes were a car? Would it be like an awd celica gt4?
How would you rate these shoes outdoors? And how do they compare to the Kai 1 speeds? I primarily hoop outdoors so I'm looking for a shoe which can sustain rigorous outdoor usage.
Would you choose this over the normal shockwave 5 or it depends on the person
Maybe for the grip test you can add some dust and test it because my school court is dusty asl
Li-Ning Gamma 1 are comming. So Fire🎉✨✨ Doctor
Could you please review the Kobe 9s🙏
Can’t wait to try these
Quick question doc… where do you store all the shoes that you reviewed? Must be a pain 😂
It's cofusing when general size us 10 is 28 cm, but on kai 1 28 cm is us 11
can you use a runner’s knot on these?
I can hoop on outdoor?
How does it compare to Anta Shockwave 5 pro’s doc?
I have a top 5 coming out that answers this exact question later in the week
@@FootDoctorZach thanks a lot doc!
Next cop for sure 3:37 , waiting on an all black colorway maybe
Just bought the triple black version on Goat for about retail price!

I wear size 11 WOW 10s and they are pretty tight. There's no 11.5 on Kai 1s. Should I get 11 or 12 ?
Sabrin's vs anta kai 1s? What would you say is the best for a point guard?
So I bought the twin flames and I think the front toe box has to much space. I want to try the ones in the video. But idk if they are more narrow in the toe which is what I like since I find that similar to Kyrie 7s and those are the only shoes that I feel fit me well.
Basically me question is. If I buy these will it feel the same and should I get a half size smaller
Wonder how they stack up to the shockwave pro v2 or if they are really two different to compare?
Where to buy the socks?
I'm also interested in type/brand of socks
I have a Morton’s toe and a medium foot is good to go true to size?
What's that shoe at the end? 😮
Lining gamma
What if you never wore Anta BB shoes, and I wanna get a pair and I was gonna go with 11, which is what my size is for Nike but i know the size is different, I do have a pair of WOW 8083s and those are a 10 and they fit perfect, should I get a 10 in this then as well? I need an answer asap haha
can we get one of these performance reviews on the new kobe 5 x-rays?
Hey zach, i just found out that anta has a secret signature named kt three-point rain 1. Appearently, the 2nd version just came out. Can you do that shoe.
im looking for a shoe that has a wide toebox but with great traction. I have the Dame 8. The shoe fits great but traction is terrible.
So this is good for persons who had numerous sprains. Right?
How do they compare to the shockwave 5 pro?
Just got my Playoffs Navy pair, used once feel is great, still debating if I should add my Move game day pro insoles. Any suggestions?

Are these better than lining way of wade 808 3 ultra (or ultra v2)
I don’t understand why reviewers are saying that they feel higher off the ground when the midsole stack is mad low
🤷♂️

On the 10’s? For medium width I think I put true to size
Crazy you got a top seller and anta makes them so limited no one can get a pair ....😒😒😒Nike all over again
Exactly, as if they didn’t think everyone and their momma would still buy them at drop. No need to create artificial demand for these

The black and whites are available in all sizes
Are you picking up the Zion 3 SE?

Same size with kobe’s?
Kindly do the EQLZ 247 next! 🙏🏾
If I can get a pair- tried and it was sold out so I’m trying on the next colorway
