    Whats underneath the Jordan Zion 3 basketball shoe? Check them out for yourself with this deep dive on court playtest, review, teardown and durability test. As a foot doctor I look at basketball shoes and basketball shoe 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 shoe playtest, and performance review of the Jordan Zion 3
    - The weight, durability, fit and playability
    - What are the features of the insole, midsole, and outsole
    - Jordan Brand basketball shoe technology explained

    10mins ago I searched your channel to check if you dropped a video on the Zion's 3 and here we are 😅 Also just returned mine, the side panel on the outter part of the shoe really bothered me and caused pain. Too bad as I really like how they feel but this was not to be ignored. The fit is super snug so even though I went up a full size what changed is only length.😢

The lock down and comfort was great but i wish they were wider. It was good playin in a shoe were I didn't have to think about my feet and could do the moves I want. Great video as always!

    Hey Doc, I bought a paid of Zion 2 after watching your review of them and I have to say it was everything I needed to help play ball again. The air storable was great for the heel and the air unit in the forefoot did what it was supposed to. The strap held down my foot too along with the heel cushion. With that said when I seen the Zion 3s they looked way too narrow, the insole looks nice but without the rest of the stuff that made the other two models what they were, looks like I should grab about pair of the 2s or maybe the Dame Extply?

    any high top basketball shoe with good full length zoom and no heel slippage? I miss playing in my jordan 29 and Curry 4s, now with all the mid cut and low cuts I bought I have been having knee tendonitis and achilles flare ups, Ive been doing strength training, and rehab for it but when I play in a shoe like kd15, luka 1s even LeBron 20 my achilles hurt like crazy. The lockdown is mid in my opinion. Heel slippage is huge and the lockdown cushion spreads out overtime and constant tightening the lace is required. I need help! Any shoe ike the jordan 29, Kobe 9 highs, Curry 4s? I tried going half size down but I also have a wide-toe box on the front so none of these have accomadated me compared to before. I always go true to size but now the lockdown these days are not as firm when I wore the 29s/ curry4s/ and Kobe 9 highs...again need help! Love always Dr.Zach

    I had high hopes for this shoe but it was too narrow. Bummer. Plus, is it just me or is Nike invested in Lisfranc recovery products? They have gotten rid of midfoot shanks in most of their performance bball shoes. Is it a cost cutting issue or do they really believe most athletes don't need that protection? I had a buddy of mine deal with a lisfranc issue and its no joke.
