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 basketball shoe's functional attributes on the 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
- adidas basketball shoe technology explained

adidas Harden Vol. 6 review:
ua-cam.com/video/utU3PKh-pKE/v-deo.html
Bounce is super underrated, I think because Adidas has started emphasizing different foams in their signature lines. I absolutely loved it in my Dame 3s back in the day. Great review!
how does it compare to nike zoom?
@@imdree1684 it’s horrible compared to Zoom 😂
@@imdree1684 zoom is like top top tier dude
@@spidergigangabongboy4698 oh damn ok
Yeah, it depends on what you're looking for in your cushion, well-implemented Zoom has a pretty unique and springy feel. Bounce doesn't have as much spring but it has solid impact protection and feedback.
Nice review Zach. You should try the Reebok Solution as another solid budget shoe. Honestly the best Iverson to play in these days. Keep up the great work.
Yea Ive seen them for as low as $40 to $50
@@FriendlyShoe In my opinion, it's totally worth picking up for $40.
Zach we’re hoping that you do a performance review on this shoe! I don’t have a pair that I can hoop in but eventually I’ll grab a pair. I do have the lakers colorway of this shoe in size 11 but they are not my size and for sale on GOAT app rn!
You deserve a sub and a like just by cutting the shoes in half and letting us see what's really inside these shoes. 😇😇
Appreciate it👍
Another great video!,no other shoe reviewer does the complete and full breakdown like you,your channel is the best , thanks
Glad you like them!
This budget kicks look perfect for my outdoor beat down training drills.
Definitely gonna cop a pair. Thanks doc! More power to ya!
Thanks for your thorough review, helps me to decide what budget shoes to buy
Hey Zach! I've been watching your reviews and I really love them. Do you think these shoes are going to grip well in a fairly dusty rubber court? How would you compare them to the PG6 in terms of traction? Is the fit good for a high instep?
I know it's a lot of questions, but there is little to no information about this shoe on the internet.
You should consider a "Basketball shoes for volleyball" series!
Greetings from Chile! 🇨🇱
Loved this video, keep up the great work. ❤️❤️
Love the shoe design & great review video. Again
Would what you say for Bounce and Shock Absorption? In terms of *URS* like in in a more recent video yours analyzing the Dame Certified... Im between these 2 pairs and everything looks great but I need the more cushioning and absorption possible. You determined that Dame's are Bounce 3/5 and Shock Absorption 3/5.
recently got these but havent played yet. I checked the reviews and saw they run small so got half size up and they fit perfectly
Perfect video as always. Keep up the good work zach.
My son had these and after only 6 months of play the sole was rubbed slippy smooth on areas of outer balls and heels from only indoor play. TBH he found them slippery from the start and had to rub them down throughout games in order to maintain any traction. They are also pretty heavy.
Great review. Thanks for turning me on to these. Mine remind me of a better PG 6…less mushy cushion and my left arch feels much better in these. Great shoes!
Could you compare these shoes with the PG6 in terms of traction? Do they grip on a dusty court?
Sorry, I don’t play on a dusty court.
Great review as always Zach. Please do a comparison with the UA Spawn 4
I just bought the Nike Precision 6s for $75 the other day and they served me well so far!
Giannis immortality is also good budget option but it lacks of support.I hope you review this.
Hi, I have hyperdunk 2017 size 8,5 US and they fit just fine. Should I go with 8,5 with Harden Stepback 3, or half size up?
Cannot wait for the review of the Zen 3 or 4 from 361 those are 🔥🔥🔥
very helpful info. thanks!
I have a question. Would you include those shoes in your earlier video which you talk about the top 5 outdoor shoes? And if yes then what number would u rank them??
Great video! Would you put this pair in your top 5-10 for outdoor of 2022?
Idk if it’s just me. But the outsole kind of reminds me of the old school feet you wear, Mainly the topographical areas. Excellent review Doc!
Best footwear review channel out....
Thanks!
Hey Doc, after watching your review on the stepback 3 and vol. 6 and trying both shoes on, I am not really sure what to get. Both fit great and I got a good deal on both, but I'll have to send one pair back...
I am looking for a durable outdoor shoe and both seem to have done well in your review.
However I really rely on jumping and your review on the vol. 6 sounded like you didn't get off the ground really well.
Do you think the Stepbacks might therefore be the choice for me?
Thank you for your help and the phenomenal professional reviews!
Id personally rather have the vol 6
Thanks I think Im gonna cop these
If you're a jumper , get these !!
Would like a budget review of the new Head Revolt Court tennis shoe.
Thanks for all you provide.
love another budget indepth review , waiting for kd trey x . 🔥
Hey Zach, what's the best performing shoe so far this 2022?
which tennis shoes are better for basketball dirt or hard court ones?
Another Adidas shoe I would love to see a review of is the Don 3 especially with the massive tpu section.
Which is better? Dame 8 or Stepback 3? I play volleyball
Hi, what do you think is better adidas stepback 3 or nike zoom freak 4. What is more durable? Or is it even better to take kyrie low 5
I like your videos!!
I got mines for $32 at the outlet today 😝
another great review Zach! They aren't currently avail on Adidas website though:( How would you compare these to the PG 6's. I'm not a big fan of the PG 6's compared to my Jordan 36's.
Can’t wait for the WoW 10 video
i hope i can have one authentic basketball shoe...
Love this review . thanks zach
Can you also do some Puma shoes like TRC blaze court and court rider or clyde maybe. Those are pretty underrated.
Blaze court is in the mail
@@FootDoctorZach thanks for the reply man. waiting excitedly.
can we have a review for UA Spawn 4? Or a budget shoe for every major brand 🙏🏼
Are these good for outdoors ?
Yes Zach.....TELL ME WHAT TO BUY. 👟🤖👟
Thumbnail 🖤🖤
I did something kinda dumb and bought a pair of these without checking out the reviews. Any clue as to how long will they last on a concrete court?
Ik I'm really late, but how does it work on outdoor court/concrete court.
How long did it last
Can you do Jordan 11s?
What would you recommend for a comfortable shoe for a massage therapist? Standing for hours at a time, not a ton of walking, but lots of leaning forward. I like these in your review for the price and looks, but also like Asics and NB. LOOKING at these hardens, or asics Upcourt 5. Amy suggestions appreciated
can't wait with drose son of chi 2
can u do a review on the curry 4 flotro? the shoe that Steph was using in the Finals
Hi can can you review adidas agent gil restomod?thanks more power to your channel been curious for a long time what's inside of a shoe 💯👍
I got these for volleyball and I got them for 50 bucks fresh from addidas is that a good deal or no I don’t rlly know
I just bought the gold and black one
What is you barefoot vertical? Just to have something to compare the shoe to
Got the first step back but a had the shoe too wear casual very good lock down.when i decided too get one too play ball in the color aways.the another one the white and black sold out then afthere that never see em again 😳 😱
Hello, can you do a KD 15 vs AJ 36 really torn between the two. Thank you and appreciate your hard work . :)
Id rather have the 15's but im sure the Air Jordan fans will disagree
Are these shoes low or high?
Can you review the PUMA COURT RIDER 2
Bro these aren’t even out in the US…. I’ve looked and there isn’t even a release date for them
hey doc zach, can you do a review of Lining d angelo russell
Does the air come through easily
Saw you on both harden vol.6 and stepback 3, can you recommend me which one to get. In my area the price on discount make its draw. Tough choice.
I’d rather have the 6
are these alot lighter then the harden vol 5?
you have already played with the dame certified?
still browsing through your videos and this channel is awesome :D
would you recommend a sneaker that is sporty AND can be used as a good driving shoe (manual-diesel) lol? im scared that im gonna buy good looking sports shoes but will be surprised if i will be able to feel the pedals from too much cusion/support/non at all.
Thats a good question- I just drove about 5 hrs in the Nike Vaporfly next %2 haha so maybe im not the best to give an answer but I would think a hoop shoe would give as much feedback as a boot when it came to driving - the shoes with the most feel would be Altra which is a running shoe but they also have a anatomic toebox - id have to see what kind of setup you had in the rig to give a better answer though
@@FootDoctorZach just some basic toyota innova (almost sienna). gonna be a dad soon so i'll need an all around dad shoes. thank you very much for the reply. will definitely checkout the vaporfly.
as of the moment i am wearing NB574 sport (sometimes it slips) or redwing 8103 (lol, heavy). with heavy city traffic, sometimes my left foot needs to float/carry the weight for clutch.
Can you do a review on the artengo ts960 shoes?
Where can I get these? Send me a link bruh
By instability, do you mean like ankle instability?
How's it on outdoor court? Are they durable?
I talk about this word for word in the video
Please review Adidas D.O.N Issue 2
Would you say the ankle protection is good?
middle of the road
@@FootDoctorZach Thanks Zach!
Not budget in my country. I've seen that the budget shoes are actually more expensive than the higher end shoes here.
This is better looking than Harden vol. 6
what are the best cheap basketball shoes?
Nike precision 6 please...
I'm a 2e and find half a size up a snug fit.
do the kyrie low 4s
they're not on Adidas website. where'd you get them ?
eBay
pls do review of lining power vii abps001-4
Weight?
Puma triple plz!!!
Still not available in adidas us
I'm thinking of getting these since I am in desperate need of a wider shoe. The cushioning point does worry me though, so does anyone know of any good insoles to pair with these?
The cushioning is good enough for me, im a big dude. Unless ure like lebron type dude, these shoes would do u fine
The harden budget version is always a good shoe
Better follow the Euro Sizing for Adidas
Can you review d rose shoes?
In the mail
thought it was micthelles sig lmao
Thumbs for you
I wish they was high top
I picked up a pair for $77
Is this D.O.N. 1? So similar
Good point
hai
I got them for 60$
stepback 3 or anta gh3
🤷♂️ depends what you want out of them
design wise they are really really ugly...like 2000 ugly...
