the best LBJ 19 review i have seen, the most detailed because you really dissected it. wc gives us an actual preview of the just shoe and not just describing it unlike other reviewers. thank you for including basketball and lbj review in your channel. keep it up.
I always try out LeBrons signature shoe every release. I feel it's too heavy for my liking. But I'm always curious about the tech. I do hope you give retro Jordans (1's through 14's) a review.🙏 Your format is super effective for testing footwear. Keep it up Doc 👌
I have these shoes and I love them I wouldn't change a thing about them it took me about 3 hours to break in and after that, I had no problem with them at all I still use them and they are amazing.
Hello, I'm Korean and I'm a basketball player. I've seen a lot of basketball shoes UA-camrs so far. But you're by far the best of them all I've ever seen. YOU ARE really another level. Why does such good contents only get this number of views? I will passionately promote your contents in Korea. it's really amazing. Thank you so much for providing such good contents!!
Thanks! Glad you liked it - I’m still relatively new to the basketball space so it will take some time to get more traction - thanks for the vote of confidence 👍👍
@@FootDoctorZach Honestly, you deserve to be confidence. I have been watching most of basketball shoes reviewing videos in detail for 3 years. So, I can tell it. You are the best..!!
The beginning hurts my heart every time💔💔 love this video, literally jumped on Ebay and bought the ones that have been sitting in my cart for FOREVER lol. Thanks!! 🙏🏾
Haha more like started med school in 2008 during the financial crisis and have mountains of student loan debt money - all the money I make from the channel goes to the shoes - glad you like it!
Thanks for the review, Zach! I've been dying to hear how this performs for a few weeks now. I'm not a big dude but I have a pretty thick lower body and have really enjoyed playing in LeBron's shoes, was curious if this one had some fatal flaws or dealbreakers.
These are gonna come down to the individual - usually I can tell if a shoe is gonna be a dud or a classic but these I think are going to split right down the middle
Eventho I am sure you can't hoop - your Review is FIRE - As one small channel doing reviews in german i got 2 admit your style of reviews, the cutting of the shoe and the really detailed description of every part of the shoe, made it a joy to watch. Keep the work up !
Thanks! And no I’m not very good at all - I was a collegiate tennis player so I have just some general athletic ability but I treat so many hoopers in my office I have a pretty good command of what a shoe needs and doesn’t
Honestly, I am looking for something in between curry 9s and lebron 19s. 6ft5 240 pounds guy who needs to be fast. Love the reviews as always, keep up the awesome work!
Perhaps the Nike GT Cut. It has a good amount of cushion while being really close to the ground. It's known to be worn by fast players as well, like De'Aaron Fox, from the Kings.
@@FootDoctorZach thank You Doc for respond, i think i am gonna wait for hardens 6 because i have wide feet and chronic ankle sprains... (can not play in air zoom/max)
Love your reviews bro because they are very in depth especially coming from someone who have expertise in the feet. It gives us a better understanding of what kind of shoes would be good for our own type of feet.
This is good stuff, don’t know how I got to the channel but I’ll be here permanently, love the info given here! Have you done one with the Brooks Aurora BL? That would be interesting. I love that shoe but was curious as to how it’s built.
Thanks dude! Such a great video, personally as a life long hooper and at the same time not so much of a lebron shoe fan, this shoe is the best basketball shoe I ever had
hey, dr. zach! i just got my lebron 19 today.. i bought it on the official nike website in my country for only almost $90 US dollars. & i gotta say, i love the cushion. even the 1st time i wore it, i can already feel the air zoom unit in the forefoot & the air max in the heel. imagine when it's broken in.. the cushion will become softer which i like. 😊
what a shoes i like the way how you review for me its complete review inside and out, advantage and dis advantage. it so happen that my cousin from US had already bought the same model in the review and i cant wait to see the actual so excited and proud to be soon owner of LJ19 shoes. thanks sir
Mu daughter used these for a full year and they are still holding up. We are going to try the Stewie this year but she still likes playing in these. The ankle flaps took a while to break in.
What do you think is the top outdoor hoop shoe for a guy that runs alot on concrete? I'm thinking about these, the newest air jordan, and the gt jump...
My lebron 17 Lakers popped in 7 months . I am a 40 yr old coach. So no heel drag.😂 But they said normal wear an tear. Still love the 17. Dont wear outside.. Its an indoor shoe.
Dude, thank you for breaking this down with such detail. As someone who is very muscular in the legs/lower body I find LeBrons to be the best shoes for me in basketball. Your recommendations were spot on, especially if you're flat footed as well.
More muscular means you would be even stronger with lighter shoes. These days even centers in the NBA have light minimal shoes . There is absolutely no reason for anyone to have bricks on your feet
Sometimes that’s the case, other, heavier players that may not have pro skills sometimes like all the feedback of a more maximalist shoe - I personally prefer something along the Curry lines but these and the KD 14 - type shoes definitely have a following of people who benefit
Me talking out loud with earbuds: "Oh, these shoes look pretty cool." My Wife overhearing me: "Oh, no please. No more shoes." I will check out what colors these come in. I have several pairs of Lebron shoes, along with other basketball shoes. I don't play, I simply like the designs.
Great review of the shoe. I am a Bron sneaker collector and just recently picked up 2 Bron 19s, and they are extremely comfortable. The one thing about the shoe I don't like is there is some torsional twist between the forefoot and heel at times. I sat that when comparing to his previous models.
hi there! i'm planning to buy one for casual wear. can you feel the cushion in the forefoot when you walk? i loved the lebron 8 because i can feel the cushion in the forefoot.
Great review, as always. Totally agree about weight distribution making a shoe feel lighter, well articulated here and overlooked elsewhere. The weight in ounces isn't very instructive, if it's a sock on top of a brick it'll feel heavier and more labored than something with more weight that is better distributed. Ditto for height, sheer appearance dictates very little. A friend I play with asked me if these were heavy and restricted movement at the ankle and it took me a while to convey this to him (I considered just handing him the shoe lol). For me traction has been great. I play on a pretty lousy group of hardwood courts but took them to a smooth concrete court once and had no issues. I did get the EP pair from Asia, so that may help the cause since those have a harder and slightly thicker (I think 8mm) sole. These are, like almost every LBJ model a straight line shoe equipped to pivot and change direction in tight spaces. Anyone expecting a Kyrie or Curry type feel just doesn't have realistic expectations. For me these are a huge improvement over the 18s, which suffered from really uneven weight distribution and a lack of heel-toe transition fluidity/speed. These were great to wear around but not so great in action. I do miss the amazing knit uppers from the 17 and I guess the 15 also, but for a no frills textile these get the job done nicely, like the foam upper on the 14 did
Thanks for the Advice, Zach! I have been debating if I should get these shoes for a hot minute, and this review showed me valid pros and cons to consider. And I will be Picking them up, for my rotation. 🔥keep it up! I just don’t know which color to rock on the court…
After watching your videos I went with the Kd 14 having close to flat feet a c curved foot . After wearing them for a day it was a great purchase thanks . Also for the Lebrons I wouldn’t wear a shoe like this as I’m a guard to me they are more designed for a post player
Cushion wise I don't see these topping the 18. I'm a zoom fanboy to be transparent. I love that full length zoom combined with that huge air max bag on the 18
I am happy that I found this channel because on the other channels they don't say about flat foot. So can you make top of basketball shoes for flat foot, please? Although please test Puma RS dreamer
Thanks for the Help, i got the shoe, only downside is if your lighter the air max doesnt cushion as well as it should, its a bit harder to get it to cushion
Interesting. I switched from Jordans to Lebrons with the 15. The Lebron 16 is one of my favorite shows of all time. I damaged/tore the ligaments around that bone on the side of each of my feet playing beach volleyball and rolling them BOTH WAYS when landing on less-skilled players' feet as they went under the net. The 16 even before that was a monster with its Herringbone grip and lockdown and just general feel. I have a BUNCH of these that i rotate. I just purchased a Lebron 19 to give it a whirl. The jordan's and many nikes in general have been getting much more tight in the front part of the foot, particularly on the pinky toe side. The lebron line seems to be much wider (similar to mizuno shoes). I'm ready to give the 19 a shot (when it arrives), but it sounds like if they would have used that GODLY herringbone traction from the 16s... then it would be a fantastic shoe. I'm a little surprised that the tread goes all in the same direction. even if they adjusted it a bit in directions of the tread. The tread is honestly the thing i hear the most complaints about. I have pretty high arches, and with the injury, i've been using Arch Rivals inserts on advice from my orthopaedic doctor.
Wow Doc, another Master review. Very technical, professional and coming from an Specialist is priceless. I would recommend to perform reviews on AJ's retro line....(if not already) Many thanks, Godspeed
I love this channel. We need a retro kick tear down. Kicks from the 90’s and early 00’s are back hype now. Nike Air Shakes, Nike Uptempo, even Foamposites!! 🔥🔥 keep up the good work.
I have a pair of Lebron 17s and I can't even count how many times I have sprained my ankle in the limited times I wore them because of absolutely zero lateral support around the midsole. they did not fix it for the lebron 18s. but seems they finally fixed it for the 19s which is good to see, but the damage was done and the 17s sit in their box put away. such expensive shoes too at $200
I've had these for about 6 months and the right shoe is really digging into my achiles to the point where I had to take them off because it fell someone was stabbing me with a knife. 190 EUR down the drain. I might try they KDs next.
Just bought the Lebron 19 while travelling more for casual walking. I was hoping it would give me mor cuahioning compared to my other nike running shoe since I'm.flatfooted.
Sent my GT jumps back. The GT jump while being my preferred style of shoe just hurt the hell out my feet.Got these 19s and they are a little easier on my feet but a little snug in the forefoot going into the toe box. I’m already getting a nagging but bearable push into my pinky toe in the left shoe only. I’m going on court just to do shooting drills for a few hours before I try to compete in these. I do believe these will need 6-10 hrs break in time, which is fine. There’s a difference between snug and slightly uncomfortable vs real foot pain, so breaking these in shouldn’t be a problem. I’ve got the fourth color way release and the grip is ok. Of course cornering is an issue just due to the physics of the shoe. At 240 lbs and getting up in age impact protection is a primary concern. Crossing my fingers post break in I’ll be able to use in game. If not back to my tried and tested Lebron 10 Elites (carbon lateral plates)
What exactly hurt your foot I was thinking about getting a pair but scared I won’t like them but Nike don’t have my size and anywhere else if I wear them I’m stuck with them
@@DioNero The are snug in the forefoot and overbuilt in general. I went back to the GT Jump and they are working better once I put a custom insole in. I have a buddy that got a pair of Lebron’s and he loves them. Also the traction is limited. If you have even a bit of a wide foot they will bother you on top.
I was very curious about the "brush" tech that these Lebrons have (and other nikes that I've noticed). It seems like there's a brush material that is within the platform, what's it called?
Hey Zach, great video. I’m wondering, if you can somehow get a pair of the LeBron ambassador 13 (you can only get it from GOAT as far as I know), could you review that? I’m really interested to see how that performs. It’s a huge departure from any of the LeBron line and LeBron himself prefers to wear that over the 19’s (and last year’s 18’s) so I’m curious what you think of it. Im glad I stumbled upon your channel! I really like the amount of different things you test out on each shoe. Performance reviews on UA-cam are not a new thing but you really are pushing it! Can’t wait for you to grow huge in the near future!
I have these shoes and I wanted to give my opinion on them. Honestly,I don’t know much about basketball shoes because this is my first pair so I don’t really have any to compare them too. I definitely notice the corners it kinda felt like I was slipping. On the other had running in them feels amazing, I ran a whole mile in them and they feel very light and bouncy. I usually brush my feet together when I run every now and then, and I thought it was just me but none of my other shoes have any damage on the inside. I always have issues with the traction, it feel like it’s dirty at the bottom and they’re especially slippery on the balls of your foot, but I think I’m just too tiff with them because my friend doesn’t have problems normally. If there was one thing I would change it would be the plastic lip on the top of the show because if your socks aren’t tall enough they dig into your legs and you get cuts. Even if your wearing the correct socks they still damage my socks so I put bandaids on the plastic part. Other than that I love the shoes and they’re very bouncy.
Update: I’ve had these shoes for about a year now and the side of the shoe where the laces are held up by the small accent string has broken on both shoes and I can’t really wear them anymore.
These are a super comfortable casual shoe, but those ridiculous "shark's fin" type high ankle pieces just cut into you. And if you leave them loose with sweats, they shred the bottom of your pants.
One of the greatest looking shoes ever !! Your review was greatly helpful. I am planning to buy the black-green glow pair. They look menacing like something Bruce Wayne would wear. I'll update you once I get them. Long live King James 😎😎👍
Hi Zach, I have a question. I’m between buying this ones, the Air Jordan 36 or the new Nike air Zoom GT jump. I play as a 3-4, dunker and fast player. :) love your videos

The jordan's and many nikes in general have been getting much more tight in the front part of the foot, particularly on the pinky toe side. The lebron line seems to be much wider (similar to mizuno shoes). I'm ready to give the 19 a shot (when it arrives), but it sounds like if they would have used that GODLY herringbone traction from the 16s... then it would be a fantastic shoe. I'm a little surprised that the tread goes all in the same direction. even if they adjusted it a bit in directions of the tread. The tread is honestly the thing i hear the most complaints about. I have pretty high arches, and with the injury, i've been using Arch Rivals inserts on advice from my orthopaedic doctor.
Yeah for me I thought the shoe worked well for what it was except the outsole
Bron shoes are made to support 6'9 270lbs that's why he merged with air max to get more comfy

I’ve got the fourth color way release and the grip is ok. Of course cornering is an issue just due to the physics of the shoe. At 240 lbs and getting up in age impact protection is a primary concern. Crossing my fingers post break in I’ll be able to use in game. If not back to my tried and tested Lebron 10 Elites (carbon lateral plates)
Interesting
What exactly hurt your foot I was thinking about getting a pair but scared I won’t like them but Nike don’t have my size and anywhere else if I wear them I’m stuck with them
@@DioNero The are snug in the forefoot and overbuilt in general. I went back to the GT Jump and they are working better once I put a custom insole in. I have a buddy that got a pair of Lebron’s and he loves them. Also the traction is limited. If you have even a bit of a wide foot they will bother you on top.
Is the next big thing in terms of coziness
This is a great review I was really looking at buying these now I understand the shoe better. Let’s go Zach 🔥🔥🔥
Awesome! Glad you liked it
You got a new subscriber after this video. 1st video ever
Thanks!
is it good for outdoor and for flat foot
It’s in the video
even w this bad sides I lik this shoes af, I’m 180 (65kg) but ey r so comfortable for me, 3-4 trains after I bought em, n I started to feel ok
I was very curious about the "brush" tech that these Lebrons have (and other nikes that I've noticed). It seems like there's a brush material that is within the platform, what's it called?
Another banger of a review.
Appreciate it 👍
Didnt expect it cause i wear kds but i love this shoe more than my kd15 im surprised
Hey Zach, great video. I’m wondering, if you can somehow get a pair of the LeBron ambassador 13 (you can only get it from GOAT as far as I know), could you review that? I’m really interested to see how that performs. It’s a huge departure from any of the LeBron line and LeBron himself prefers to wear that over the 19’s (and last year’s 18’s) so I’m curious what you think of it. Im glad I stumbled upon your channel! I really like the amount of different things you test out on each shoe. Performance reviews on UA-cam are not a new thing but you really are pushing it! Can’t wait for you to grow huge in the near future!
Thanks! Yeah I can take a look - hopefully I can start getting these reviews out with a bit more frequency 👍
Just came across your channel, and I love love love it!
Glad you enjoy it!
Great review as always, covered every single detail! So my question is: What’s the name of those adidas socks you’re wearing?
traxion 3
Hey Doc, did you ever do a review on the Lebron 18?
I have found these shoes give me leg pains, almost shin splints while using.
Changed back to my old shoes, no problems. Throwing my 19’s out.
Not for everyone thats for sure- I got tired in them, others love em
I have these shoes and I wanted to give my opinion on them. Honestly,I don’t know much about basketball shoes because this is my first pair so I don’t really have any to compare them too. I definitely notice the corners it kinda felt like I was slipping. On the other had running in them feels amazing, I ran a whole mile in them and they feel very light and bouncy. I usually brush my feet together when I run every now and then, and I thought it was just me but none of my other shoes have any damage on the inside. I always have issues with the traction, it feel like it’s dirty at the bottom and they’re especially slippery on the balls of your foot, but I think I’m just too tiff with them because my friend doesn’t have problems normally. If there was one thing I would change it would be the plastic lip on the top of the show because if your socks aren’t tall enough they dig into your legs and you get cuts. Even if your wearing the correct socks they still damage my socks so I put bandaids on the plastic part. Other than that I love the shoes and they’re very bouncy.
Update: I’ve had these shoes for about a year now and the side of the shoe where the laces are held up by the small accent string has broken on both shoes and I can’t really wear them anymore.
Zach you're legendary your review is awesome.
Thank you!
These are a super comfortable casual shoe, but those ridiculous "shark's fin" type high ankle pieces just cut into you. And if you leave them loose with sweats, they shred the bottom of your pants.
Wasn't going to get them but now I definitely will.
Hope they work well for you
Dr. Zach great Review as always
Glad you got something out of it!
Dr. Zach, Please do a review of the Adidas DAME 7 they have great technology and Traction especially for in and outdoor courts,,, thank you......
Cant wait for the review of the nike zoom gt jump when they come out.
One of the greatest looking shoes ever !! Your review was greatly helpful. I am planning to buy the black-green glow pair. They look menacing like something Bruce Wayne would wear. I'll update you once I get them. Long live King James 😎😎👍
I have the Christmas Ones and they are amazing
Keep up the good work doc! Appreciate your very detailed Basketball shoe review.
Glad you like it 👍👍
Solid vid man. Thank you for taking your time
Glad you got something out of it!
Always loved lebrons cushion and this set up is crazy and the colorway
👍👍
Do you have a review of the Lebron 17s? Thanks!
I would die for this shoe and i click on the video and hes slicing it lol, good vid tho
Haha thanks
I started tearing up when he was cutting that Lebron 19
Hi. Can you do a vid on best bball shoes for outdoor court for flat feet? Thanks
Hi Zach, I have a question. I’m between buying this ones, the Air Jordan 36 or the new Nike air Zoom GT jump. I play as a 3-4, dunker and fast player. :) love your videos
Id much rather have the jump
Great review, but would you recommend these as a good shoe for the gym? Ive been interested in how the air pods would affect different lifts.
