As a big man, I’ve always loved Lebron’s. But, they really dialed the last three in. These might be the best. And, LeBron is wearing so awesome color ways. So, I’m glad you covered these. Lebron’s line gets a lot of hate. Some models deserved it. But, I think they look nice. And, these are some of the best shoes I’ve ever played in, for my game. Thanks again
I mean the tech seems pretty well thought out in these. I imagine your foot sits into these similar to the latest “WoWs” ..good subtle compression in the heel and forefoot, foot sinks into it w a natural arch, just using Zoom/Air units instead of foams.. seems they’re tryin to go for something elite here imo. Unfortunate they didn’t nail the heel. I def dig the style and that saddle! lol
Colorways will make or break this model. The tech however is premium. The quilted tongue is slick and luxurious. The 20 was shoe of the year imo. The 21 brought a lot of new ideas but I didn’t like the look or overall fit as much as the 20 but it was a solid shoe. First impressions of the 22…I don’t know yet. The 21 took a while to grown on me but when it did I bought two pairs. Like I said colorways. Great review.
I dont know man, nike basketball just seems so bland, every shoe looks the same. I just got the adidas A.E. 1 lows and man they are like a breath of fresh air and CHEAP compared to nikes and jordan retros.
I love the spreadsheet as you can probably tell I wonder if you would be able to add a sizing comments column where you maybe describe how the shoe fit you and if you'd go up half TTS down half size for yourself thx think that would help a ton of people
Nice vids man it really helps me out in choosing what sneakers i should buy, keep up the work btw can you review a pair of jordan 13's if you can, hope you do:)
Surprisingly they did not pick up much dust on a fairly dusty community gym court. This is why these are going neck and neck with my champ WOW 10 low. At 220 lbs I broke these in fairly quickly and was able to activate the zoom units with no issues. I prefer to play in these vs the 20 and 21. They made a better shoe and sell for 20 dollars less. Faith restored at least temporarily in Nike.
Interesting, most other reviews of basketball players wearing them are hating the traction sliding all over the place with just slight dust. Could it be the traction favors heavier players?
I had lebron 21 but after 1 year of playing in them I've broken the foams inside the sole at the front for my right shoe and I feel like my feet is lower than the other and not as stable, I wear size 44.5 and I'm 76kg, should I go for lebron 22?
Good day Foot Doctor Zach. Can you recommend me a basketball shoe that is light, has a good cushion, a good containment for step backs, and has good support for ankle sprains. Thank you 🙏
To be honest I don't know exactly- just from feeling so many of them on the teardowns and seeing them on the scope 2.0 seems more dense, structural and 3.0 seems more pillowy, elastic - its all on the margins though, i dont see one vs the other making that huge of a difference, still just rubberized eva
the neon piping is ugly, the tip of the swoosh aint right, and the signature at the back is unnecessary. the LB 20 is really great the colorways tho are so so.
The saddle definitely has me intrigued! I wonder if there’s anyway they could’ve maybe firmed up the saddle to make it more of a shank or add a shank in addition to the saddle? I actually like the look of these, and I don’t mind the weight of Brons. My biggest thing is does the shoe play light, I think that’s what makes the difference with these types of shoes. (One of my favorite being the LeBron 2, and 10.) Gonna hold off for sure for other colorways and possibly Jokic’s first sig
loved the look and seemed like a perfect shoe for my slightly heavy frame. Just had to wait until your review for the final verdict. Now waiting for a less "agressive" colorway to drop for these to be my sorely needed new bball shoes. My poor flightposites can rest now
Love your videos Doc. My two cents-while I do appreciate your no nonsense no filler approach to helping us pick shoes, I do think the monotone 4 second intro “let’s get into them” on one of the shoes that every year people are most interested in, I think you could be a little more enthusiastic about it. I appreciate all you do!
@@FootDoctorZach Nope, you talk about the saddle that you compare to a shank but nothing about the real TPU shank located just in the middle of the midsole. I can't add picture to show you...
are you glazing nike here a little bit? Whats the point of elite contraction if i need to wipe every second. Getting lots of reports traction is not great...We need to stop seperating dust and traction. IF it picks up too much dust you dont have traction lol.
I can’t lie about my experience just because others had a different one- could be quality control issues with bad / good rubber batches but, as I showed in the video, I had very little issues 🤷♂️
Check out my new sport and recovery slide! : geni.us/fdzslide

Surprised you like the recent models as a big. Never played in a them, but they look much more guard oriented to me.
The 17's & 19's r my favorite but these last three feel like rush jobs........just saying 🤔😐!!
@@theheebs100 I’m a big guard. So, I guess that splits the difference

To the Nike employee watching this, make sure y’all drop those all golds for Christmas 🎄 😅
Nice review Zach! as a wide footer 2E, I dont think this L22 will replace my Harden 7. H7 still the goat for me.
I dont know man, nike basketball just seems so bland, every shoe looks the same. I just got the adidas A.E. 1 lows and man they are like a breath of fresh air and CHEAP compared to nikes and jordan retros.
….just like a lot of players in the NBA play the same. There’s a reason why a lot of guys play in Kobe’s and play in/casually wear Air Jordan.
I just bought adidas tray young unlimited 2 it’s beautiful and comfortable
Nike is garbage
and also insanely heavy :)))
You are 1000% in the right man. Creativity drought

Thanks for your work! Please review Liren 5 (high top) next!
Hi Zach, you gotta review the liren 4v2 or the new liren 5s sometime! Definitely my favorite Lining line right now.
Hi Zach thanks for the great review! I do really want to see the review of Li-ning JB3!!
Me too
"Hi Zach, I really liked the Anta Zap 1 and now that the Zap 2 has come out, I was wondering if there will be a review on those soon.
I was really excited to get the Xen slides, but being from Europe I’d end up paying double the price after shipping and taxes :(
These LBs kind of remind me of the old AND1 days
Nice vids man it really helps me out in choosing what sneakers i should buy, keep up the work btw can you review a pair of jordan 13's if you can, hope you do:)
Chinese brands are so underrated but they have the best signature shoes’ designs and actual performance
Please Review The Kobes 6 and 5 🙏🏻
Congratulations on the collab, Doc!
I appreciate it

Look who it is guys. 🦶🏻⚕️🧑🏻⚕️
I’m still trying to break in the 22 they fit better than the 21 and 20
You should review the jlin xtep 5, they’re similar to the wow 10’s
Hi Doc, big fan here🤗
I have a question: anta shockwave 6 pro,jb 3s or the gamma 1s for the same price?? (as a pro 6.1 pg)
Maybe try some peaksports performance shoes in future for review. sp. the taichi midsole
Please do the Asics Nova Surge Lows!!
Thank you Doc!
I’d be interested to see whether these would be good volleyball shoes, i feel the saddle might be an issue tho
Can you do the new converse all star bb shift cx pe, please.
I really like the design of these but I feel like all the colorways out right now look so bad
This is the only color way out so I don’t know what you’re talking about
can you make a video of best basketball shoes up till now
I got the new balance v4 and they're so light compared to the 21s . I don't think i can go back to a heavy shoe
Can't blame you
Can you do the Nike Hyperset 2 please? feels almost like a hyperdunk remake
They look like Nike Donovan Mitchell 😂😂😂
No it doesn’t

Maybe or just quality control - some batches are just bad perhaps
What are the top recommended shoes for chronic ankle sprains?
ua-cam.com/video/EwpMWqTD_Ok/v-deo.html - this video will get updated in a few weeks too
Love every thing here
love the shirt lmao
We are small in number and strong in out convictions haha

Shoes only last a year or less bro, if you play a lot. Replace them every 8-12 months if you want to keep your leg muscles and joints healthy
@RoderickUsher-r3y Okay thank you!
Good day Foot Doctor Zach. Can you recommend me a basketball shoe that is light, has a good cushion, a good containment for step backs, and has good support for ankle sprains. Thank you 🙏
WOW11. After seeing Zach's review bought a pair for my son and they are worth it.
Hi doctor foot, u can do a review of betterguards 2.0
13:18 NBA Player 🔥
LOL yeah im in for Giannis this week
The dust traction performance concerns me given other reviews
I didnt find it to be that big of a deal tbh
Difference between Cushlon 2.0 and 3.0? Thank you 🙏🏾
up
Up, wondering why theyd use cushlon 2.0
To be honest I don't know exactly- just from feeling so many of them on the teardowns and seeing them on the scope 2.0 seems more dense, structural and 3.0 seems more pillowy, elastic - its all on the margins though, i dont see one vs the other making that huge of a difference, still just rubberized eva
@@FootDoctorZach you’re awesome dude thank you!
Are these similar to the AG 5? Trying to choose b/w those two specially the updated ag 5’s with the lockdown straps
AG5 better lockdown, these more plush
Are these being filmed in a storage unit?
ua-cam.com/video/M77Hlh5njjA/v-deo.html
I really want this shoes
How do these work for doing left handed layups couldn’t tell from the video
Hey doc! Im planning to buy either wade 10 or wade 11. Overall, which is better? (No need discussing foot types only overall performance)
I prefer WOW 10 more bounce,elite Traction. The WOW 11 is too bulky the Outrigger is insane
Wow 10
Is it better that the zoom in the heel is bottom loaded instead of top loaded so you’ll feel some bounce?
I don’t notice a difference either way tbh
He keeps making the same shoe. With the same cushioning system. Put full length zoom air and max air in the shoe
When Nike decides to make a real shoe, they'll plaster a huge 210 dollar price tag and Lebron James' name on it. (There, I rephrased it correctly. 😂)
the neon piping is ugly, the tip of the swoosh aint right, and the signature at the back is unnecessary. the LB 20 is really great the colorways tho are so so.
What a surprise. Giant Nike swoosh on side that ruin the look of shoe 🤦.
Great review 👍
Ehhh…. What’s up Doc 🥕
Try to review kobes
The saddle definitely has me intrigued! I wonder if there’s anyway they could’ve maybe firmed up the saddle to make it more of a shank or add a shank in addition to the saddle?

There is a shank- look at the midsole teardown
@ That’s my bad I don’t think I noticed it until this time around. Interesting shoe for sure
loved the look and seemed like a perfect shoe for my slightly heavy frame. Just had to wait until your review for the final verdict. Now waiting for a less "agressive" colorway to drop for these to be my sorely needed new bball shoes. My poor flightposites can rest now
I’m in the same boat as you in all areas lol. Waiting on the right colorway now. Cheers
KT10?
bro do kobe 5 protros
Not sure what these offer over the 21s. Especially with the weight increase.
The saddle and a different outsole, but , yeah, the 21 is just as good if not better depending on your wants

Doesn't the leaflet included with the shoes mention a shank plate ?!
So does my review- look at the teardown
@@FootDoctorZach Nope, you talk about the saddle that you compare to a shank but nothing about the real TPU shank located just in the middle of the midsole.
I can't add picture to show you...
03:45 - direct call out/ 04:23 - word for word call out - not sure how much more to talk about it
NOOOOOO dont cut lebron 22

Y this shoe? Try to review monopoly. 😂
Back to the ugly design :(
Downgrade visual
That upper is atrocious
The design looks cheap and ugly, seems like 80$ shoes
finally
Lebron shoes are ugly shoes
You look like the whitest white guy I ever seen play basketball , lol
