I tried the V4 and once the got solid colors, i snagged a pair...very comfy and very similar to BB2's...my favorites though are still the V3 with performance and color combos...my V4's are black/black shiny and look sweet
What I really liked with the V1 is that it is a very consistent shoe for every aspect. Nothing astonishing but no real default. It can be used for almost all positions
I'll second the note about high-volume feet. I've been wearing them around the house for a bit to break them in, and they're SNUG around my feet, even with 2E width. I'm going to send 'em back to NB and get the new TwoWxy when those drop. Looking forward to those in the 2E.
I hooped with New Balance Hesi Low V1; I was impressed how good they were performing but also by the quality of the finition. Honnestly, I would prefer the look of the V1
The two way v5 should be made as low as these hesi low models. They're a bit high bothering my ankles. Should be as low as kobe 5,6,7,8s. Those are Goat hoop shoes
Hey, sorry for the unrelated question to the video, but I am a interior designer at an architecture firm and we are designing the first designated pickleball facility that will go across Canada. I was wondering what your recommendation for the best floor for pickleball would be and what to stay away from at all costs?
Hey Zach! Do you have a list where you have all your shoes you've ranked by average score? Or is there like a "Top 10 all time" list of all the shoes you've ever reviewed so I can watch those videos specifically?
To be really honest, for the aesthetic look of the V2, I dislike the dissymmetry of New Balance Logos between the Interal and external side of the shoe ... i would have prefered both of them to be same or to remove inside logo like it was in the V1. There is a global trend at New Balance to put the "N" Logo on the inside side of the shoe i/o the lateral side : I witness this in the Khawi 4 and now Hesi 2
I’ve been really surprised by how narrow the new balance basketball shoes are. I think the 2E only makes the toebox a little bigger but the middle part of the shoe is so narrow.
@FootDoctorZach I understand which is great but I'm just saying the band saw would make it easier to cut them in half and you're able to see the same results !

Great idea!
Can you please recommend some good insoles for basketball. So much junk on the market.
Cant wait for the Two Wxy V5s!!
Good chance that it will be Foot Dr Zach‘s new favorite 😅

watching this before heading to work🤙💯
They look great but despite selling every kind of running shoe in the UK there's almost no options by comparison for basketball shoes
Same here in Canada. Every New Balance store has a million running shoes but not a single basketball shoe
Check pro direct basketball 👍
Because only a handful of people would buy them. I have yet to see anyone wear NBs here in London

awesome review! I mostly hear good things about nb hoop shows but don't get to try them much here in Asia...hope they get more available for me to try
Absolutely amazing content, you're the man Zach truly inspirational, thank you for this information 👍
Hey Zach, we need a new top slide /sandal video for 2024!
I helped design one coming out soon so that will be out soon
Hey Zach, can we get a video on crocs? WOuld be good to understand the shoe from a professional perspective
doc, can u sometimes do some performance review about volleyball shoes for hooping? thanks
We need the comparison videos back!!
Only so many hours in a day

Ty for the review doc but I think I prefer another version of the two wxy V3 than this one to be honest
Can’t wait for the two wxy V5 release 🔥

These or the don issues will be my next shoe once they go on discount
i perfer lowtop, i will probably get a pair, I have kawhi 4s. They are nice .
I compared the 2E version of this to the 2E of my Brooks Ghost 15 running shoes, the Hesi Low v2 (wide) is much narrower 😢
Yeah not surprised
@@FootDoctorZachdefinitely need 0.5 or 1 size up for wide footers

@@Kangz20 two wxy v4 was one of the most narrow shoes I’ve ever had on my feet
Grip City...sounds like a suburb of Portland 🤔
You need a small band saw man. Make it so much easier put them in half
I cut them with a box cutter to assess build quality - nothing to be learned from a band saw
@FootDoctorZach I understand which is great but I'm just saying the band saw would make it easier to cut them in half and you're able to see the same results !
Cut by hand the Doc can feel the strength of materials.
I thought the 2 holes next to each other were for if there was heel slip and you put the lace in yhe further back hole...is that correct???
For those of us who play few times a week and tend not to wear outsoles out, is there a reasonable expiration date for shoes?
as long as it being used, it should last 2-3 years. but if the time gap between use is long, it could cause the outsoles rubber to harden
From the outsole mostly not but the foam would compress and lower his performance/comfort
Returned these after one use, hurt my feet after 2 hours of playing
Day 6 of asking for a review of the asics metarise 2
Early bay beh
Dr. 🦶🏻 Man Zachary
Please Nike hyperattack
They don't look bad but not my style
Algorithm comment.

this looks like crap for wide mid footers
