What Size did you buy. Are they true to size? or did you go up down? Im a true 13 but frequently I feel Like I have to go up to a 14. For example In chuck taylors I'm an 13. in nike waffle one's I'm a 14
Great review man! As for all your reviews! It's great that we can have a review on the performance shoes based on a doctor's point of view. I've been watching performance reviews from other reviewers but they don't touch on subjects like arch support or if this shoe is good for flat feet or neutral or high arched feet. Or touching on certain conditions that could affect a person using the shoe such as Plantar Fascitis, and such. Thanks!
After we heard Mr Nightwing stepping away from basketball *performance* reviews and focusing on sneakers, we're in good hands with the foot doctor who goes really in-depth and uses realistic measures like the one-foot shooting test. Thank you for these videos!!
Another great an informative review Zach! Love the way these look as compared to the last couple PG’s and after this review I definitely think these are worth checking out. On my list for sure.
Love the PG 6 & Lebron 19 Low React foam is so elastic it’s the perfect combination of cushion & spring right out of the box while it lasts. And yeah this is a hot shoe, the Tongue & interior of the shoe is extremely comfortable thick & cozy. On the side of the PG 6 there are 3 small ventilation holes on the sides of the shoe open on the outer layer covered by the internal sock liner, you can use a mini pick or anything small enough to fit through that hole & pierce that cloth it provides a good amount of air flow on both sides right in the center of the shoe.
This dude deserves more credit man is cutting it on half on brand new models of shoes while each shoes (for basketball) i just keep it on the box and admiring it while sniffing in occasions and only play it on clean court
Man bro you are a Certified GOAT! Your content is ridiculously underrated! Thank you for blessing us with reviews from an Expert perspective! This type of information we can’t get from anyone else. 👟 🔌 my brother!
Hey Zach! Great review as always. I do noticed that you said the React Foam on the shoe will bottom out faster than Lunarlon which may not be the case as Nike made React to address the notorious issue of Lunarlon bottoming out so fast. With that said, how do you compare the React midsole with the Kobe 8/9/11 lunarlon midsole?
As a consumer that will buy PG 6 this really help me to decide if I should buy it or not. Really love you video. Subscribing to your channel is really worth it. Thanks for a great video. Fan from the Philippines 💯
As I told people before shoe tech today is way better than yesterday. If you are a professional athlete you should have an advisor or doctor as yourself, on what shoes is best for your health. I'm knew to your page and I'm so pleased with what you bring. Your credentials give you the advantage over other influencers but I will say do as many different but popular brand BASKETBALL SHOES and types of shoes from those brands as you can. Thanks doc! I knew shoes effect health, can be helpful or harmful!
My Kobe 9s with the lunar lon did the same thing but once I sank into them. I played better, quicker and with more reaction time in many occasions including my drives to the basket
I ordered a pair of Nike PG 6 and I should have them in 3-days time. A few weeks I bought Adidas Boost Harden Vol. 6. The Harden Vol. 6 were too flat, stiff and no grip! Too disappointing. Boooyyy, I'll ripping the court and dunking with these PG 6!!! I can't wait!
Ok Doc thanks for the review. You were right about theses shoes!!! They look great but run hot as hell!!!!!!! I had to return them, me feet sweated just standing still. Thanks again.
Great review! I'm planning on copping the bright crimson colorway but I have a question about it. Did the soles of your pair remain icy or did they turn yellow?
Hey Zach, do you think you could review the upcoming Converse All Star BB Shift? Converse (owned by Nike) has been putting out some Kobe-like, low to the ground bball shoes, and these ones look like they'll have great traction, but I don't want to buy them without seeing your teardown and analysis first! Always look forward to seeing your bball shoe reviews.
I check ur page literally everyday to see if you’ve done a review on these n finally got blessed today lol, only problem now is trying to find a pair, I don’t think these have released yet in stores right?
haha glad i could help- i got mine on ebay from a verified seller but they should be in most markets in around a month im guessing if past releases are any indication
Great review Zach...these may be may next hoop shoe. I have some heal/achilles pain and hoping the cushion is better than my Jordan 36's, which i like, but the toe box is too tight and I miss the low tops.
I was looking forward to this review! Thank you Dr. Zach. I’ve loved react ever since it came out and I’ve been waiting for Nike to get it right on a basketball shoe. I will definitely pick up a pair of these. I have only slightly wide feet, would you still recommend I go up half a size?
Great review as always, would u recommend this to heavier players? I’ve always played using LeBrons and Jordan flagship models cos of cushion and impact protection, cos I want to protect my knees and foot
@@FootDoctorZach sorry I forgot to add more details, im ard 5’10-5’11 and around 200lbs (mix of muscle and flab more like off season body) and almost 40
Im a bit on the heavier side 5'9 98kg what hoop shoe could u suggest thats good for my knees and has decent cushion, durable outsole and also a decent traction, will be mainly used for outdoors
Of course it makes a difference. Why do you think Cole Anthony dunking in Timberlands in this year's contest was supposed to impress people? Sure, muscles do the dirty work, but it's the shoe's job to make you confident and comfortable. A pair's weight, traction, stability and cushioning are the determining factors whether you can dunk safely and efficiently or not. If you think that's not the case - try dunking barefoot, then in dress shoes, and then put on a pair of good basketball shoes and compare your vertical.
I'm a 5ft10, 134 lbs PG. My playstyle is like Patrick Beverley, Marcus Smart, and CP3. I'm from Norway so I have to run a lot more since the courts are smaller here in Europe. I guard my matchups very closely so I run always run side to side, and I'm looking for a shoe with god-like traction. I play mostly on Rubberized courts. What shoes should I buy?
I own them since watching this video. They are super comfortable. What is the purpose of the extra hole at the top of the shoe? Is that just a design choice or does it have a purpose?
Hi Zach! Great vid as always! When you say the heel will bottom out with heavier players quicker...are you referring to bottoming out in a hooping session or you mean bottom out sooner decreasing the overall life of the shoe? For reference I'm 6'2", 210 lbs with a 38" vertical....lots of force coming down from my jumps.

Oh that’s awesome that you like it! Yeah it’s my go to to compare shoes - use it every day now
Totally
EXACTLY
Faaaxxxx bro
Amen
it hurts me everytime i see the tear down of the shoes but it's really great to see inside the midsole. keep on the great work. great fan.
Glad you (kinda) enjoyed it! haha

Yes it's true so it's these shoes it's OK for a plantar fascitis?

That’s relative… you’re statement is true but They all sooo ugly lol
I think these are pretty slick looking - Excited for some new colorways because i think they can get pretty creative with the color blocking

Bro thank you I ordered the shoes and then watched the review and got worried about the sweat
It breaks my heart every time you cut the shoes up but I still watch for the solid information. Keep it up my dude.
You and me both!
I'm glad you started doing reviews
This dude deserves more credit man is cutting it on half on brand new models of shoes while each shoes (for basketball) i just keep it on the box and admiring it while sniffing in occasions and only play it on clean court
Haha thanks! Some are harder to part with than others

With that said, how do you compare the React midsole with the Kobe 8/9/11 lunarlon midsole?
Yeah that was a midspeak anyway just meant to say different densities of phylon - Id say these are more bulky but more plush too
Was waiting for this🔥
Hope you like it 👍
Just got for our son thanks for the info basketball season in full effect.
the only shoe i want! fire review thank you very much doc! 🙌🇵🇭
Great work Dr. Zach as always !!! Cannot wait for the review of Li-Nining All city 9 V2 those shoes are FIRE!!!
Luckily I found this channel where I like to listen.
Important question, Which shoe is better Zion 2 or PG6? For vertical, durability and for inside courts
Great review man! Deserve more subscribers for sure.
Thanks! Glad you liked it
I always want a channel to tear down all the sneakers so I can see what's inside the midsoles. Thank you for doing this, subscribed!
I appreciate that!
I just ordered PG6. Thanks!

Will PG5 have a performance review ? I want to know how you feel about the previous generation !
At some point yep
@@FootDoctorZach nicee 😍
Very informative and detailed explanation. Thank you so much. Truly appreciated
Glad it helped!

Thanks for hanging out on the channel 👍
This is such a great review

Very nice review and on point.
Thanks!

Holy crap great video! I’m subbing
Awesome, thank you!
Ok Doc thanks for the review. You were right about theses shoes!!! They look great but run hot as hell!!!!!!! I had to return them, me feet sweated just standing still. Thanks again.
Most underrated bball shoe channel for sure
Thanks 👍👍
Man, torn between these and the Way of Wade 10 (carbon plate). The WoW looks prettier and seems wider in toe box.
Thoughts?
Best Nike shoe in years in my opinion
Yeah its a definite hit
Great review! I'm planning on copping the bright crimson colorway but I have a question about it. Did the soles of your pair remain icy or did they turn yellow?
damn i don't know what to get... pg6, jordan 36, lebron 19 or kd14...

Yeah for sure I’ll review them sometime soon- still working through a backlog
Hi, in the 4:52 chapter it says Fit of the ADIDAS Nike PG 6 !! 🧐
Nice catch- typo from copying time codes - thanks!

Ur the man bro thanks
super good review
Thank you👍👍
Doc Zach which is good PG 6 or CURRY 4 FLOTRO? your answer is a really big help thanks 😁
Watch both reviews and see which one meets your needs best - one not better than the other just different
my son really likes pg6. what model should i buy him as nike will not release the pg7?
Doc can you make a list for ankle sprainers? Having a difficulty finding the perfect bball shoes for ankle sprains.

Great review doc, is there a possibility of you doing a racquet review on the solinco racquets?
Not on this channel- maybe on my apres tennis channel once I get it up and running more consistent
Can you make a video comparison of vertical potential of these hoop sneakers?.
Great review Zach...these may be may next hoop shoe. I have some heal/achilles pain and hoping the cushion is better than my Jordan 36's, which i like, but the toe box is too tight and I miss the low tops.
I was looking forward to this review! Thank you Dr. Zach. I’ve loved react ever since it came out and I’ve been waiting for Nike to get it right on a basketball shoe. I will definitely pick up a pair of these. I have only slightly wide feet, would you still recommend I go up half a size?
Depends if you want a snug fit or generous
bro how's your pg6?
It's hard watching u do that but I like what you find lol
Lol
best shoe 2022 pg6..love it
Came across your page today as a recommended video. Any suggestions on basketball shoes for people who deal with shin splints?

@@FootDoctorZach thanks!
hey man! awesome vid btw.
can you tell me which shoes you would recommend for outdoor hooping with good bounce with it aswell
My favorite outdoor shoes are the Nike GP turbo - its a court shoe but you can check them out here geni.us/FDZTP
Great review as always, would u recommend this to heavier players? I’ve always played using LeBrons and Jordan flagship models cos of cushion and impact protection, cos I want to protect my knees and foot
I talk about this specific question in detail in the video
@@FootDoctorZach sorry I forgot to add more details, im ard 5’10-5’11 and around 200lbs (mix of muscle and flab more like off season body) and almost 40
Could you please send the link to buy those shoes ?
I just got them on eBay
Will this traction last long in outdoor court atleast an year? pleaseeeee a reply!!!
I subbed to you because I have plantar fasciitis and love basketball shoes. Can you make a video or do you have one for people with wide flat feet?
Yes coming up soon
In terms of heavy players would it not be reccomended if your in the 190 to low 200 pound range
Another banger Doc! Do you think the PG 6 or the KD 15 is better for bigger players? (6’4 230)
If I had to say one prob the 15
Would these be good for jump roping? Or would you recommend another pair.
I like the curry 10 for jump rope personally
How fast will they bottom out ? Looking for shoe to train/practice in that’s lightweight.
These have been a great performer for me
Great review as always!
Quick question tho
Are you going to review the Jordan why not zer0.5?
Thank you and yes
I’m a size 14 in Nike, and 13,13.5 in adidas I can’t wait to try these out
Did you do on on the Dame 7 & Dame 7 EXTPLY? I was looking for it, probably missed it.
How are they
@@seanoconnell753 the cushion bottom’d out so fast I took them back
@@robmc464 what shoe would you recommend
@@seanoconnell753 depending on you look for in a shoe and your foot type
Just curious, do you buy more than one pair of bball shoes? One for you to use to play with and one to cut in half? Awesome review!!!
Usually just one- use it for a few weeks then cut
Man, i love this channel! So science & technical. Im satisfied! Btw zach, can u recommend me a shoe that is similar to Kobe 6? Need alternatives
Nike Air Zoom GT Cuts!
@@josephfisher9323 its still hard to get.. on resells
@@ardyzakaria9889 Then…Puma Clyde All Pros. A last year banger, praised by almost all reviewers.
Yeah the GT cut would be the closest in look and performance
Does the xdr add to or take away benefits from the react foam? Can't decide to get xdr or not.
great shoes review but can you add more on how to clean them, all my shoes are pretty dirty cuz i play outdoors all the time.
I like Reshoevenator - i also have a cleaning video here :ua-cam.com/video/sQ5JKmL3MIo/v-deo.html
I just bought them in china when u released the bid
I was considering the Kyrie 8s to hoop this year but these look interesting, its a HELLA NO for the Lebron 19s tho, i pronate in those.
Im a bit on the heavier side 5'9 98kg what hoop shoe could u suggest thats good for my knees and has decent cushion, durable outsole and also a decent traction, will be mainly used for outdoors
Ill have a video on this coming up
@@FootDoctorZach thanks a lot! Il wait for that video. Nice content man! New subscriber here!
Can we get a link to we’re you got them from?
Great review, detailed as always. Would you say these are the best shoes for dunking?
Wont make a different which basketball shoes you wear for dunking. Your muscles make you dunk not shoes.
Of course it makes a difference. Why do you think Cole Anthony dunking in Timberlands in this year's contest was supposed to impress people? Sure, muscles do the dirty work, but it's the shoe's job to make you confident and comfortable.

If you think that's not the case - try dunking barefoot, then in dress shoes, and then put on a pair of good basketball shoes and compare your vertical.
@@mikolajstrozewski i am talking basketball shoes. Are timbs basketball shoes ?
Hey which is better in traction and overall pg6 or pg5??
can I use these outdoors?
Nope
i can't wait for the jordan 35
Is this a low or mid cut shoe? Are low cut shoes more susceptible to ankle injuries when compared to mid and high cut shoes?
Its a lower mid- not really, having more material helps but its more about the stability of the mid and outsole plus your own body
I’m a wide foot do u consider to to stay true to size or go up a size on the shoe.
how long do you think the ep version of this would last outdoors
Doc, can you do a video on the Li Ning brand Basketball shoes…
hi doc,what shoe can you suggest for 200 pounder? one that has good heel cushioning..thanks
Do pg 5 PLEASE thats so popular but im not sure if i should get thel
I'm a 5ft10, 134 lbs PG. My playstyle is like Patrick Beverley, Marcus Smart, and CP3.
I'm from Norway so I have to run a lot more since the courts are smaller here in Europe.
I guard my matchups very closely so I run always run side to side, and I'm looking for a shoe with god-like traction.
I play mostly on Rubberized courts.
What shoes should I buy?
Maybe MB01 or Nike Zoom GT CUT but they are hard to cop specially in Europe, or try to cop Kobes or shoes low to the ground
I actually made a video on that - hope it helps!
ua-cam.com/video/wqJGIY1m9qc/v-deo.html
how hold do you think it'll last before you should buy new shoes
ua-cam.com/video/6d_AiFEiM90/v-deo.html - check that video out
What about the outsole durability in EP version of PG 6?
How long does it last in outdoor court use?
I own them since watching this video. They are super comfortable. What is the purpose of the extra hole at the top of the shoe? Is that just a design choice or does it have a purpose?
Custom lacing- stronger runners knot
Hi Zach! Great vid as always! When you say the heel will bottom out with heavier players quicker...are you referring to bottoming out in a hooping session or you mean bottom out sooner decreasing the overall life of the shoe? For reference I'm 6'2", 210 lbs with a 38" vertical....lots of force coming down from my jumps.
Overall life of the shoe- but in month 2 the foam wont be as resilient after an hr of playing like it did during week 1 - so its kinda both
@@FootDoctorZach Thank you!
for pg6 should i buy the translucent or solid rubber for indoors?
