There were some reports of react foam being used in prototypes of the KD 15 however the final product being released is Cushlon - just some clarification
5:50 You have a sense of humor. 😆 I still have to wait until the end of the month for these to release in the USA, but you're input will go A LONG WAY towards my potential purchase. Thank you, Zach!! 😎👍👟👟
Hay man I love the vids but a good shoe to test is the lebron white rainbow 17s I have a pair but am selling them there size 11 men's there to small on me by a little because I'm a size 12 to 13
@@channingbanks5786 the kd 15s are are one of the best shoes in 2022 and so are the pg 6s but in my personal opinion the kd 15s are better because the traction bites harder and also the kd 15s dont pick up as much dust as the pg 6s and the cushion on the kd 15 is insane and is much better than the pg 6s cushioning so overall in my opinion the kd 15 is better than the pg 6s but everything I just said is my personal opinion and I am not a professional so if I did hurt your feelings by saying something you might disagree on I am sorry
Props to this man for literally splitting the shoe apart, diagnose and assess it, do some test runs just to give us the most optimal shoe review. Love the effort, quality, and heart put into your content. Much love, stay awesome doc...
What makes your reviews better than all the other ones is that yours is completely objective. I mean you literally “break down” the shoe to see what’s in it. You’re the undisputed GOAT!
As someone with wide feet, I really appreciate the actual breakdown of the width sizes rather than a blanket statement of just go up half a size. Never heard another youtuber mention width size before.
Dude. You're killing it. As soon as I saw the shoe I knew it was my next shoe but I was going to wait for your review. Didn't think you were on it this soon. Thanks.
This is what a sneaker review channel should be. Other channels are like food videos that tell you only how well a food tastes and looks without the vitamins, nutritional values, or health benefits in them
I’m upset with myself that I haven’t found this channel earlier. Love the anatomical aspect of the review. Love seeing and learning from the video as well. Great channel doc
I've been watching your videos for a short time,like almost 2 months,by far the best review of basketball 🏀 shoes hands down, especially tear down! To how they actually perform,thank you for the diagnostic reviews! There excellent.
Dr Zach you were absolutely in your bag for this one. Other channels are feeling the rubber with their hands for durability testing and here you’ve got the dremmel test AND whatever the heck that hardness tester was, thank you so much for the great reviews. Would love to hear your thoughts on these vs the Zoom GT Cuts, which are my current favorites
When I was young I would ALWAYS try to cut my basketball shoes in half to see how they were made! I tried cutting my Allen Iverson 6's with scissors lol. Seeing you do it brought me back! You got a follow
The KD 15 is a great Summer basketball shoe, like the GT Cut & Jump, their ventilation & cushioning are amazing. It's gonna be one of the best basketball shoes in 2022
This is my first time watching one of your reviews. Man, i'm not even in the half of your review and u convinced me to subscribe just like that. U da best, Zach!
If you experience any problems with the KD15 such as Heel Slippage. Downsize them by half. I normally wear a Size 10 - (Mb.01 - All Kyries - PG6 - PG5) So, I ordered a size10 on KD15 since it recommended getting TTS, but after a week of playing, there was lots of Heel Slippage. So, I exchange them for a Size 9.5. At first, it was super tight, but after breaking them down for 1 week of playing, they actually expand, and it's much more comfortable. For the traction and cushion, this is actually the real deal. If I can compare it to any shoes Traction is like - KD9 or KD 14 The cushion is like PG 4
Sounds like what I’m having to do now lol when I went to try on the sizes before ordering. 11 has major heel slippage but 10.5 will be perfect once they break in
Hello, how about the toe box? Is it wide foot friendly? I am normally size 10 if i wear thick socks will it compensate the heel slippage after a week? Im afraid of downsizing for 9.5 because it might not fit. Thanks.
As always a superb review.I feel as if based on shoes ive used before and your info on fit and function of the shoe,I have a clear picture of how the shoe will fit and perform for me.keep up the good work and more power.
I love the profile of these. Knowing how many colorways the 14s had, I'm super excited for new colorways to come out. I was really surprised by the jump height test too.
Knowing how impossible it si tout find basket shoes three years after their releasing, I guess I will take two or three of them in different colors if I find finally the best shoes for me. I have the KD12 ones, but ventilation is horrible.
I have not been excited for a KD since the KD9 witg full length zoom air. I am definitely getting these! Especially knowing that the will help with my achilles tendinitis. Great job Zach. Talk nerdy to us
If you’re familiar with Nobull, they just released court trainers for both basketball and tennis. Look very nice, but not sure about the overall support and technology in them. Seems like something right up your alley! Great videos as always
Love the review as always Dr. Zach!! Decided to pick these up after your review. Could you do a review on the GT Cut also? Would love a comparison between the two (especially with the full length strobel that they both have)
thank you, amazing video I am, definitely going to buy these when they come out all the others shoe reviews, I don't have complete faith in, put when it comes to yours that what impacted my last few basketball shoes
Great Review !!! Cannot wait one of the best models of Klay Thompson from Anta the KT 5 High or Low, (Technology, Durability, Cushioning) those are 🔥🔥🔥
Curious that Nike keeps getting the KD line right but can't seem to do the same for Lebron's signature shoes. Also, I don't like the Nets, but I still want this shoe.,. 🤷🏽♂️
Love the videos. Would love to see a review of the new File Speed Serve tennis shoes. They look to me like they are more stable than the Axilus 2 Energized. Keep up the great work!
Hi, I love your breakdown videos because they offer a view on different types of feet as well. Just wondering for a quicker, but bouncy guard with flat wide feet that uses orthotics, would the kd 15 or the curry 9 be better?
appreciate the timely and well documented reviews you do on basketball shoes! but do you ever buy a second pair to just keep since you cut up the reviewed shoes? lol
Thanks again! Could you do more Chinese bball shoes? I heard from a lot of people they are just as good if not better, so am very curious to see if it’s true thx
Hi Zach! thanks for a great review as always! would love to hear your opinion on which is the better shoe overall the KD14 or KD15? which one do you recommend?
Doc, that Jump Height test was very impressive especially compared against GT Jump, Anta Clay, etc. Is there a chance your jump and speed is just getting better which could possibly be skewing the results, i.e, 1 year ago the same test would result in a 35cm result?
There were some reports of react foam being used in prototypes of the KD 15 however the final product being released is Cushlon - just some clarification

I still have to wait until the end of the month for these to release in the USA, but you're input will go A LONG WAY towards my potential purchase.
Thank you, Zach!! 😎👍👟👟
Doc, I believe KD preferred the setup with cushlon more then react.
Hay man I love the vids but a good shoe to test is the lebron white rainbow 17s I have a pair but am selling them there size 11 men's there to small on me by a little because I'm a size 12 to 13
KD15 vs PG6🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾.
I’m torn between the two🥴
@@channingbanks5786 the kd 15s are are one of the best shoes in 2022 and so are the pg 6s but in my personal opinion the kd 15s are better because the traction bites harder and also the kd 15s dont pick up as much dust as the pg 6s and the cushion on the kd 15 is insane and is much better than the pg 6s cushioning so overall in my opinion the kd 15 is better than the pg 6s but everything I just said is my personal opinion and I am not a professional so if I did hurt your feelings by saying something you might disagree on I am sorry
Love the breakdown from a sports and medical perspective. Something NO ONE else offers. Best shoe reviewer by far.
Thanks!

Why I’m here! Where was this 10 years ago 😅

Thanks! Appreciate it
The KD line is always the one I watch from Nike because the cushion setup is probably my favorite. Great review!
I still have my KD 7s probably my favorite cushion set up out of any shoes ever made.
I adore that you talk about the psychological effects of different aspects of shoe design. This is such a massively underrated thing!
Glad it helps!

I’m excited to try these with my ankle braces. That swoop in the collar look like it’s going to be great for the fit with them. Thank you Dr!
Really appreciated you highlighting the heel containment as many other reviews cite significant heel slippage!
Yeah i dont get that- had no issues and i suffer from that in a lot of shoes
i was worried because of the “heel slippage” but mine luckily came out perfect. i would recommend these fs
it is good in TTS?
If you experience any problems with the KD15 such as Heel Slippage.

Traction is like - KD9 or KD 14
The cushion is like PG 4
Should I buy the kd 14 or 15? Which would you recommend? I have wide feet and really need impact protection/ shock absorption

I've been wearing these, in a different colorway, for 3 weeks now and OMG they are soooooo comfortable
As always a superb review.I feel as if based on shoes ive used before and your info on fit and function of the shoe,I have a clear picture of how the shoe will fit and perform for me.keep up the good work and more power.

Honestly the best channel for ball shoes or sneakers in general especially since your a foot doctor as well 👍👍👍👍
I appreciate you
Zach great review, your opinions are appreciated. Keep up the good work. Great niche for you!
Love seeing your break downs, these seem like a really nice pickup just need a good colorway
Used to wish there was a channel like this when I was dismantling shoes by myself, and designing them when I was 15
I love the profile of these. Knowing how many colorways the 14s had, I'm super excited for new colorways to come out.
I was really surprised by the jump height test too.
Me too
Knowing how impossible it si tout find basket shoes three years after their releasing, I guess I will take two or three of them in different colors if I find finally the best shoes for me. I have the KD12 ones, but ventilation is horrible.
Been eyeing these since they leaked, the Achilles support has me sold. Thanks for the review mate really well done 👍🏽
I have not been excited for a KD since the KD9 witg full length zoom air. I am definitely getting these! Especially knowing that the will help with my achilles tendinitis. Great job Zach. Talk nerdy to us
👍👍
KD9s were one of the best shoes I have ever worn. Too bad the air bubbles popped. sigh* Looking forward to the KD15s as well!
Such a good review, Doc Z. Thank you. I'm getting myself thes.
I was waiting for this video to release, you're the best Dr. Zach 🙏🤙
Hope you enjoyed it!
You have the best performance reviews on UA-cam by far! Keep it up Doc!!
Thanks!
The more effort put in the video, the faster you’ll grow!
If you’re familiar with Nobull, they just released court trainers for both basketball and tennis. Look very nice, but not sure about the overall support and technology in them. Seems like something right up your alley! Great videos as always
Great to hear Zach! I cant wait to grab a pair!
Waiting for those to drop here in Brazil so I can buy a pair and test them for myself. Insane review as always!
I didn't hear any cons mate, I'm absolutely sold on these! Thanks for the review!
Just a few things here and there
@@FootDoctorZach I feel like this is shoe of the year performance wise.
Love how technical you get with the reviews! Glad I subscribed!
Welcome aboard
@@FootDoctorZach what's more durable for outdoor use, a gum rubber outsole or a nike xdr outsole
Zach the best reviewer
👍👍
Found someone better than Chris from WearTesters. He is a living legend and will be forever my favorite but man, you are fantastic.
Haha yeah he’s still the gold standard for sure
Just found your channel doc.. literally going to watch EVERY VIDEO!!! Love your work
Haha thanks!
Was waiting for this one! Thanks for breaking it down so early!
Hope you enjoyed it!
Love the review as always Dr. Zach!! Decided to pick these up after your review. Could you do a review on the GT Cut also? Would love a comparison between the two (especially with the full length strobel that they both have)
the BEST shoe reviewer on youtube nop cap!
Thanks!
Alright, thank you Dr Zach! I had a feeling these would work really well.
thank you, amazing video I am, definitely going to buy these when they come out all the others shoe reviews, I don't have complete faith in, put when it comes to yours that what impacted my last few basketball shoes
Glad it helped you!
These videos are dope. Glad I found this channel.
Welcome aboard
Amazing video man, keep posting this 🔥🔥
Thanks! Will do!
Nice review thanks Zach! Will you ever do a teardown review of any the Nike Penny line?
I’m definitely going to be picking these up as soon as they release
Great review Zach! I love my 36's but considering these for my next shoe. I'm old and have bad knees.
hell yeah those look comfy af... must cop for me.... thanks for the great review!!
I love all of your videos!
Thanks!
Slightly rolled my left ankle in these in my first go wearing the 15 smh unreal !
Can’t wait for these to release in the US, I’m ready to buy these!
i just bought the KD14, now im planning to get this aswell.
KD14 has been the only shoe that prevents me from spraining my ankle. I wonder if these would be a good indoor pick up.
Love seeing this detailed reviews zachh!! can you do the dame 7 next pls?
would these be good for someone with plantar fascitis? thanks, love the vids
Tell me you didn’t watch the video without telling me you didn’t watch the video
Great Review !!!
Cannot wait one of the best models of Klay Thompson from Anta the KT 5 High or Low, (Technology, Durability, Cushioning) those are 🔥🔥🔥
dope review. we need that GT Cut review next
Love your videos by the way
the highlights go crazy
Curious that Nike keeps getting the KD line right but can't seem to do the same for Lebron's signature shoes. Also, I don't like the Nets, but I still want this shoe.,. 🤷🏽♂️
Haha
Another fire video!
I prefer mid top shoes and softest cushion so Im stocking up on the KD14s. Thanks for the very detailed review!
Great video man 👍🏾
Love your videos Doc! I hope you're doing a review of the new Renew Elevate 3!
Working on it!
Hey doc! Did you experience any heel slippage while using the KD 15's?
Hi, I too would like to know because I hesitate between the KD 14 and the KD15, I currently play with Harden Vol 3
Just waiting for the black and red color way to hit a little sale then I'm instantly buying them
Thanks for this!
Hey Zach, when the Luka 1‘s come out could you do a review for them? Big fan of our content and love the reviews
hey zach i love you videos man, can you tell me what shoes do you think is the best so far for shooting guards specifically.
I actually made a video on that
ua-cam.com/video/wqJGIY1m9qc/v-deo.html
I have the KD 15s and I honestly really like them
You should do a comparison between the KD15 and the curry 9! Two shoes with top tier traction but very different cushioning setups!
Definitely getting the KD15! I can wait for it to drop in the US.
when is it dropping?
can you please do a video comparing the gt jump and kd15 to see which is better. love your videos thanks
7:39 I rolled the same ankle twice in these a month apart non contact , but I love these regardless
Love the videos. Would love to see a review of the new File Speed Serve tennis shoes. They look to me like they are more stable than the Axilus 2 Energized. Keep up the great work!
Yep trying to get my hands on them for mid June
2:28 RIP right foot
lol
On their initial tech specs, it was advertised as React and Zoom Strobel, it seems that they revert back to cushlon.
Yeah some debate on that- I just watched some other reviews after releasing mine and they said cushlon too so I dunno 🤷♂️
Hi, I love your breakdown videos because they offer a view on different types of feet as well. Just wondering for a quicker, but bouncy guard with flat wide feet that uses orthotics, would the kd 15 or the curry 9 be better?
is it good for outdoor?
appreciate the timely and well documented reviews you do on basketball shoes! but do you ever buy a second pair to just keep since you cut up the reviewed shoes? lol
Only sometimes - usually i play in them several times then cut
I am so glad the awful strap is gone. I've been waiting for these for a while. I love this colorway too. Great video as always.
If you manage to cop a Kobe XI's do some reviews! many NBA players are still rocking it nowadays
Thanks again! Could you do more Chinese bball shoes? I heard from a lot of people they are just as good if not better, so am very curious to see if it’s true thx
This one. Probably, it will appear in many "end of the year" performance lists.
Yeah thats a good bet
I’m copping for sure.
Hi Zach!
thanks for a great review as always!
would love to hear your opinion on which is the better shoe overall the KD14 or KD15?
which one do you recommend?
Just depends what you want- I talk about it in the video but these are more speed, 14's more stability
Looking to get that same colorway as well as the purple one that’s been leaked here and there 👀 love the review 🙌🏼
I liked the black and white too- really sleek looking
@@FootDoctorZach definitely agree! The 15’s have amazing colorway potentials for sure 👀🔥
Nah KD put that bump at the back of the shoe because he didn’t want to injury his Achilles again 😂
I honestly was super hyped with the 14s when you reviewed them and absolutely enjoyed playing in them. I can't wait to get my hands on these.
Did you get the 15's? And if so, how do they compare to the 14's?
Great video Zach, I was wondering what your top 5 or 10 best basketball shoes of all time are, maybe you can make a video on it or just type it here
I’d have to think about that one
@@FootDoctorZach you adding kd 14 into that mix?
Awesome Review 👌
Glad you liked it
Great review! Btw, pg6 or kd15? Comfort and fit wise
Overall are the 15s a good shoe for a player that has had a couple of ankle sprains? Do they give you enough stability?
Doc, that Jump Height test was very impressive especially compared against GT Jump, Anta Clay, etc. Is there a chance your jump and speed is just getting better which could possibly be skewing the results, i.e, 1 year ago the same test would result in a 35cm result?
Yeah I’ve talked about this in a lot of videos - I’ve had to adjust my analysis of it
