    As a foot doctor I look at basketball shoes and basketball sneaker 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 playtest, teardown and performance review are:
    - The weight, durability, fit and playability
    - What are the features of the insole, midsole, and outsole
    - Nike retro basketball shoe technology explained

    I cannot stress how Great these feel to hoop in. Def in my top 3 along with MB.01 and Kyrie 7. Trust me. If you like those. These are a must. They have a great bounce too. It’s insane.

    Dope video per usual! I actually got lucky and got a pair of the OGs int the Navy color way, and hooped in them a couple years ago. These were pretty much at the top of my rotation, but the soles ended up separating on both pairs. It's a strange shoe as far as how "heavy" it is, but how light it plays. And that Zoom is no joke. Nike needs to go back to beefier Zoom setups in my opinion haha.

  • @a1rkidlebron2

    Tried these on just now and came to your video to confirm my suspicion. They have diverted from the traditional double stack zoom setup in the OG pairs, very sad to not have that crazy comfort bounce setup in these.

    these were my favorite shoes to play in back in college. they lasted a solid 3 years before the airbag popped. the traction was also one of the best from the LeBron lines. to this day, the LeBron 2s is what i consider one of the most durable basketball shoes ever like the AJ XII. still waiting for the retro for the all black as that was the pair i had. however they're not worth the retail if you consider the other modern shoes you can buy for the money for indoor.

    • @hittintrees
      @hittintrees Рік тому

      Yeah man, i had the black ones as well, with the dark red accents and the white, i believe, swoosh on the strap. Great memories. What i remember most is the general feel of the shoe. It felt like you were riding in an S-Class or Maybach. Not the fastest, certainly not the lightest, but you slipped into the shoe and it felt like you could crash with 120 mph and wouldnt feel a thing.

      I have a pair of these and the 3s, which are built pretty similarly. The uppers and the Zoom units take some real breaking in before they really flex and bounce. Alot of that has to do with the Pebax carrier the Zoom bags are in, they're pretty stiff.
