I'm old af & love vis-air, so only ? is which LeBron 16, 17, 19 or GTJump has best traction. Custom? Yeah, cut the irritating tops off! 👟🪚
I am once again asking where the heck you are finding two wxy v5 etc for under $70 even!!?
Does 808 5 ultra deserve to be on this list?
I have been moving to 361 degree brand fully just recently. It was the cheapest option in my country. But the performance was as good as others.
I got Joker 1 and biospeed bb for 78 bucks each and it serves me so well. Hope they made more shoes for center thought
Love your list doc! I'm gathering opinions about what to get first (for me i can get both for about ≈ $130), JB3 or Joker 1 GT? What do you think gives more benefit when played with? Thanks! For me anything with thermoplastic based foam, carbon fiber shank, and polyurethane based outsole makes my top 5 this year 🤣
pleasse make a video on lining power 10 used by rj hampton
A.B.C.
How long is the KT 10 break in for prominent styloid / Tailors bunion (estimate in hours). I purchased the shoe based on your review. Thanks @FootDoctorZach
I got the wade all city 13 its excellent I think its the best value shoe
Sabrina 2s are sooo bad on dust
JB 3 on sale for 150 rn
You look like you lost some weight, hope everything is well
Interesting I’ve heard mixed reviews on the kt10 some absolutely love some said it felt underwhelming. I trust doc tho he hasn’t let me down yet, might have to try them.
Hey doc is there a reason you don’t review asics basketball shoes? Great video as always🙏🏽
These chinese brands are up 4 out of 5. Im actually not surprised, I've had a few 361, linings, and wows. Theyve all exceded expectations and more. 👍
Asian companies 100% kings currently in comfort.. just butter plush feeling
Where did Zach go? And who is this skinny dude?
Do you have any shoe recommendations that are supportive and good for ankle rollers? I need a shoe thats stable laterally when i make hard stops and when im coming down from a jump
KT 10 absolutely rules. Been using indoor and outdoor for pickleball and tennis
Damn Doc, you look great!
Best for jumping actually top 5 please ? 🙏
GO STEELERS! 💪🏻
Any idea when you will get the new dlo show in? Very interested in that one
You should review some cheaper option modern day basketball shoes like And1 or something
Review of Julius Randles' Sketchers? Have yet to see the models he's worn cut in half interested in seeing.
Any shoes from Lining/Wow with combination of boom mids and GCU outsole are absolute winners. The boom bounce for response and comfort and the GCU outsole for grip, durability & longevity is the absolute bang for the buck. They last for a very long time.
When is the next buyer's guide coming out? Just curious about the best current shoes for ankle sprainers!
808 5 Ultra, best shoe of the year
I’m looking for more of a guard shoe but with crazy bounce. For example, I love the Jordan 36 lows, but that pinky toe kills me. Could you mention a couple suggestions? I’d really appreciate it 🙏🙏🙏
JB3 for around $150 shipped on SHEIN (I know you don’t have an affiliate with them but still)
