For me, that MB02 is so far the best shoe that I hooped on. I love the cushion and lock down. Also my foot doesn't hurt unlike my other hoop shoes kyrie, puma uproar, and j12.
Jeremy Sallee has a lot to do with it. I'm a big fan of the new hoops shoes. Whatever last they've been using feels like it's perfect for my feet. Everything fits perfectly, and the cushioning has been good for me. Traction is above average
@NikeMan4life they had a hit with Clyde all pro and been missing ever since. All 3 lamelo shoes, Stewie 1, Scoot 1 all look like the same shoes. Then they got issues with other shoes like TRC Blaze Court and outsole ripping off.
Wow! Excellent teardown Zach. Very impressed with the efficiency and information density of this video. Keep doing your thing, Respect to Rubber and Foam!
Cushioning and lockdown is great! The bounce and energy return I don’t think is an issue with the nitro foam but a problem with the insole being too “memory foam” like and thick. It kills the bounce! I replaced the insole and it’s a night and day difference.
Hey Doc! You're very consistent in uploading your videos. I love how you review these shoes professionally. ❤️ You're the only UA-camr that has detailed information about the shoe. It helps us to choose the best shoes for our feet. Continue reviewing shoes, God bless.
I was impressed by the usage of dremel for outsole durability now you brought microscope to inspect the material texture. Wow. I have few suggestions for more addition in future. Compression testing machine(CTM) for cushion strength. Vernier caliper to measure outsole groove depth. You are really a doctor/Engineer for shoes.
my spidersense tingles me that puma might make a comebakc to tennis in the next couple of years, their success at basket reflects they have the resources to knock it out of the park
Got these two weeks ago on release day. Hooped in them about three hours and they aren’t as bouncy as I’d want them to be but they are great. Never had Puma before and went from the Kobe 5 Protro so I was missing the bounce back feel. But like you mentioned they are great shock absorbers. Wish you touched on the nitro foam though. Don’t know what that is whether it’s more lighter or gives more bounce but I didn’t feel it at all in them. Oh well. For me 7/10.
high cut did not stopped rolling of ankles but in my exp it lessens the injury. my ankle springed back to its normal angle because the shoe was a highcut. just sharing🤣
Great breakdown, thanks Doc! Can you please do the new Adidas Solematch Control when you get a chance? It looks like it might be a great pickleball shoe. Thanks again!
Not gonna get a pair, but I was amused to see a little kid about five years old wearing a pair this past weekend. Melo is a popular guy despite the Hornets being… the Hornets.
I love the mb.02 I bought 2 phenom and Rick and Morty but when it said it’s bad for tailors bunion I have a tailors bunion what will happen because I’m worried even tho it’s good for my feet since in conforms to my feet and doesn’t hold it really tight but is it bad?
Great review! But man, I wish this year's Puma releases looked a little more.. adult? classy? refined? They all look like kid's toys. Perhaps an unpopular opinion.
I just got a pair at a Ross in Tennessee for 50$ I couldn't believe they had them there they also had a all white pair of 97 air max that was even better than than the pumas but my friend seen them and grabbed them B4 I could get them but both pair was decently worth 50$ compared to the retail price
I find that in anything other than Nikes my foot size changes and these were no different. I'm normally a size 9 in Nike/jordan but with Pumas I had to go up to a size 10 but I still love these MB 2s
These are nice but I am a 90% outdoor guy so I might have to sadly give these a pass… also I really do prefer the aesthetic of the MB1. The 2 just looks kinda hot wheel toys…
Hey doctor! Great video I am thinking of buying them, I want something noble for my knees lately there has been pain in them if I wear shoes with little cushioning. Are these a good option?
I own both. Definitely the pg6. They’re better in every way except maybe foot lockdown. The pg6s are way more cushioned with bounce back. The mb02s cushion is very stiff and doesn’t give any energy back. Traction is also better on the pg6 as well.
What should I do about ankle sprains I sprain my ankles every time I play it feels like lows highs? Braces? I feel like the N3xt L3v3l actually worked best for me but they where good for maybe 6 months then I started rolling again
Find exercises that strengthen your ankles. Also I think stretching them before playing is good. I wear a brace on my left foot right now because I sprained it 5 weeks ago but it won't guarantee your safety from a sprained ankle.
@Foot Doctor Zach So how long would you give it to last outdoors? You didn't exactly give a specific time frame so valid question that ppl like myself r curious about as we play outdoor. Thanks!
Hey man ! I am from India and here we play on concrete courts so any idea which shoe is the best for outdoor court between melos gt cut 2 and Luka 1 or any other suggestions? Help a brother out please 🙏🏻
@@Shourya_veer You should consider Li-Ning if you don't have wide feet, or maybe you could buy tennis shoes. If ankle protection is extremely important to you, you could wear tennis shoes and ankle braces.
@@FootDoctorZach When I put on the MB.01s I feel a bit of a negative camber, like the shoes want me to spread my legs. It's really only noticeable when standing upright or walking forward. I think you eluded to it in your MB.01 review. With the MB.02s I feel more in a neutral camber when standing upright. Anecdotal for sure.
For Basketball, runnning, any activity... 1 size up(1cm),your toes must not touch the end of the shoe.... also for the small toe. Normal, true to size, is one palm in front of the big toe👍
For me, that MB02 is so far the best shoe that I hooped on. I love the cushion and lock down. Also my foot doesn't hurt unlike my other hoop shoes kyrie, puma uproar, and j12.
Same. Just balled in the slimes. Feel like kd12.
Ye knockdown feels so nice I'll see how they play tho haven't had a nice shoe in 10 years bet it will be crazy lol
I just got mines for Christmas and can’t wait to hoop in them, having bad ankles and feet like mines I hope they are comfortable for me
Totally agree w you
U have to try the kd15s
Puma is really stepping up their game.
Are they though? Looks like a early 2000's Nike shoe with all the fuse overlays and the tech isnt great for 130$

Man you are doing an incredible job. I hesitated to buy these cause of Melo s ankle sprain. You brought clarity and security to that

Hands down the best shoes to hoop in for me so far EVER , so comfortable and I love the way they look .. this is shoe is beautiful
They kinda stiff i got them today will they soften as i play more
Can't wait for the NB two way v3. I'm really interested in seeing more reviews of that one, might grab them for daily wear if they're good

I own this shoe and it becoming my daily shoe, super comfortable
Omg I love that you have wider fit suggestions! Amazing!
Absolutely loved these, dropped 25 the 1st time wearing these.
Nice work!
my spidersense tingles me that puma might make a comebakc to tennis in the next couple of years, their success at basket reflects they have the resources to knock it out of the park
Yeah I would like to see that the problem is tennis shoes are such a small market compared to what they could put R and D behind in hoops and running
Great Job as always. Loved the 01, these look even more plush; Must cop.
Puma basketball shoes are 🔥 definitely stepping up their game.
Ok!! The shoes Doc broke out the microscope. This guy is a champion reviewer!!
Haha I love my microscope

Playing on the court now w them. Really like em
This is an amazing review. I love the Mb 1 & 2.
Only ever hopped in Nike but very tempted to try these
Love these for CrossFit/HIIT 🔥
high cut did not stopped rolling of ankles but in my exp it lessens the injury. my ankle springed back to its normal angle because the shoe was a highcut. just sharing🤣
1 year use its torn from many parts in the upper but the traction is still👌
In my opinion is worth it, because they are very comfortable, good quality, beautiful design, and cheap ASF.
I liked the angle of showing the compression when cut in half👍
Thanks!
i've been waiting for puma rise nitro doc
2e and went up a full size. Just bought so will see how I do.
Hi zach, MB02 or MB01, which are better?
Hey Zach, how's the stability in these?
Thanks.
Great breakdown, thanks Doc! Can you please do the new Adidas Solematch Control when you get a chance? It looks like it might be a great pickleball shoe. Thanks again!
Yup I’m nursing an ankle sprain but that’s the next shoe up
Great videos and always much appreciated, are you going to do a review for the K-swiss Speedtrac?
Yup!
The 1s were compression molded as well? Super comfortable these look awesome Puma is really stepping up they’re BB SHOES.
Yep both CM EVA
Not gonna get a pair, but I was amused to see a little kid about five years old wearing a pair this past weekend. Melo is a popular guy despite the Hornets being… the Hornets.

Thanks for the review Zach love the videos
It made me almost cry when he just slowly cut the shoe in half with a knife
Did you notice any difference in the translucent versions compared to the solid rubber versions?
just got the mb.02 rick and mortys and i love them

How do these -performance wise- compare to the Air Jordan 37?
Hi Dr Zach. Can you do a performance test on the new puma rise nitro basketball shoes. Thanks
Dr. please do a Performance Review of the puma clyde all pro
for casual wear, these are good yeah>?
Wearing them right now good to go👍
Hey your videos help me decide on my shoes and also i always like to watch your videos while i eat my dinner
😆🤣
Haha hope it’s something good to eat
Finally ❤❤❤❤😊
I’m a wide footer and these fit me really well. I have Stewies coming in the mail I really hope they fit similarly
Did you wear the same size in the mb1?
@@danh4724 yes
@@shmichaeljordan3336did u size up or anything?
did you go true to size or half size up?

Please do the jordan 1 zoom cmft, i’d like to see the deconstruct!
should i buy this or harden vol 7?
Doc I recently bought a pair of the curry 3z5 If you could review it so I could see your opinion about it that would be cool I think they’re on sale
I'd love to see a review of the Puma Stewie 1
Is this a good sneaker to play tennis in, doc?
Playing wise yes but not durability wise
Can you do the Puma Fusion Nitro and the Puma Rise Nitros? Me and the rest of the Puma fanbois would greatly appreciate it!
You already did the Fusion Nitro! My bad.
Are you gonna review the asics superblast shoe?
Wich one is better rise nitro or mb0.2?
How’s your ankle Doc?
Much better thanks for asking- I’ve been trying out PEMF and it’s working crazy effective - probably going to do a video on it
These are nice but I am a 90% outdoor guy so I might have to sadly give these a pass… also I really do prefer the aesthetic of the MB1. The 2 just looks kinda hot wheel toys…
Im gonna get these cuz im interested in the cushioning
Was wondering bro, can u compare the fit to the mb 01s?
is the insole glued in or sewed and how do i get it out without damage ti the shoe
Can you do a review on the D.O.N issue 4
Hey doctor! Great video I am thinking of buying them, I want something noble for my knees lately there has been pain in them if I wear shoes with little cushioning. Are these a good option?
If you don’t mind the weight
Need the review for mb 3
Just wondering dr, you mentioned stewie, have you already done the review for that one?
Nope not yet I have about 7-8 shoes that I have to get to and it’s in there -
Are these for outdoor court?
How are they for someone with ankle issues ?
Go true to size for the best ankle support
With my kyries my upper foot would always get numb I’m waiting for my mb.02s to come in so I can switch to them.
It’s funny bc as viewing this video I sprained my ankle the same way in the mb 2 😭
Could you review the Puma Court Rider 2.0 orange color way
Whats better for outside and inside court? Mb.01 or Mb.02
Neither
Do you even put any pressure on the Dremel test?
Nope just lay it on
i was debating between MB.02 and PG6. any recs
🤷♂️whichever review speaks more to you
I own both. Definitely the pg6. They’re better in every way except maybe foot lockdown. The pg6s are way more cushioned with bounce back. The mb02s cushion is very stiff and doesn’t give any energy back. Traction is also better on the pg6 as well.
Can you pls review the don issue 4s
I rolled my ankle in these shoes bad 😭
paul george 6 vs mb 02?
What should I do about ankle sprains I sprain my ankles every time I play it feels like lows highs? Braces? I feel like the N3xt L3v3l actually worked best for me but they where good for maybe 6 months then I started rolling again
I’d see a sports medicine specialist and get an exam
Find exercises that strengthen your ankles. Also I think stretching them before playing is good. I wear a brace on my left foot right now because I sprained it 5 weeks ago but it won't guarantee your safety from a sprained ankle.
Personally I have 2 pairs of the puma hoop shoes I have the mb.01 Rick and Morty and the mb.02 Roty and I think puma had gotten 10x better
Hey doc, I recently bought the kobe 6 protro, how long does it take for the traction to break in?
🤷♂️ shouldn’t be more than 15-20 min
It would be resistent to pass like 2 years of playing in outdoors courts??
No did you watch the outsole section?
@Foot Doctor Zach So how long would you give it to last outdoors? You didn't exactly give a specific time frame so valid question that ppl like myself r curious about as we play outdoor. Thanks!
What does the mid foot traction say? Looked like there was a word in it
1of1
Are they ok for volleyball?
Puma is so underrated most of my basketball shoes are pumas and I can play better In pumas than Nike/Jordan’s
Do the Stevie 1s
Is it good for outdoor?
This colorway has a translucent outsole, maybe a colorway with solid rubber outsole
Is it good for Outdoor???
could you do a worst shoes on top 10? like 1 is the absolute worst of the worst and 10 being awful in general? Just so we know WHAT not to buy LOL
I’ve toyed with this idea actually

Solid rubber outsoles(Oreo colorway)
can someone explain about the durometer? does it mean high number is good?
Theres a written explanation in every video
im also a big guy and my feet hurt alot in my shoes
GS size have the same tech?
I noticed there is less of the camber effect compared to the MB.01
How have you judged it? Just looking at the rubber wear pattern?

I dunno some weird dude in scrubs talks about it the whole video though id suggest watching it
Bro these shoes are tight, maybe I should go a size up
Yep all basketball shoes you should go half a size up!
For Basketball, runnning, any activity... 1 size up(1cm),your toes must not touch the end of the shoe.... also for the small toe. Normal, true to size, is one palm in front of the big toe👍
