If there's a Nike swoosh logo on this pair, it'll be right up there on the best basketball sneakers for the year. I'm just glad there are brands really challenging the powerhouses (Nike, Adidas, UA) by providing value-for-money performance shoes. In the end, the consumers win.
I hear you lil bro…but relax on the “consumer wins” bit. These shoes cost less than $10 to make…and kids/adults everywhere eat them up for 200% profit returns…Big Business is Winning frfr
The Chinese brands just know how to make basketball shoes, price wise they’re usually playing above what your paying. If only they were more assessable in stores here in the States. I’d love to try on some of these shoes before I buy them.
The Chinese brands like Li-Ning & Anta are getting better at making basketball shoes, I hope they'll continue to do so. I'm excited & can't wait to see the Anta Kyrie's 1st signature shoe, I already copped the Anta Shockwave 5 Dark Matter
Great Review Dr.Zach 💪🏿🧠 Hopefully you can get and review the following 3 pair of shoes that will be great performers: ( 361 BIG3 4.0 PRO either or Switch/Quick ) ( Li-Ning Bad Five 3 Ultra ) ( Anta KT 9 ) 💯🔥🏆
I think you got the speed ratio wrong. Nice video as usual though. Looking forward for more reviews, especially the other shoes like the Puma Stewie 2 which is out for some months now, and the Curry 4 Low Flotro that came out recently.
Hey Doc thanks for your videos. They are very helpful for me. You mention that these would work better for lighter forwards. Could they be an option for heavier players (230lbs+) 😅? I also have flat feet. You mention the width being one worry area. Did you experience foot cramping until break-in?
I think they've probably done the engineering behind it. My guess if it can handle the pressures put on it by an NBA player, then everyday hoopers should be good with it too.
Hey Zach, shoes are great and feel great on foot, but I bought these hoping for really good containment. Although the traction and cushion is great, the heel slippage is causing problems even though I have a runners knot through, bought thicker socks, and tried your methods. Anything else?
This is a long shot but just wanted to see if anyone had a good basketball shoe for plantar fasciatis. Right now I use the kyrie 5 low and there is no discomfort at all. But wanted to see if there is any other shoes that my be as good or better.
I'm 10.5US in AJ11, but had to go for 11US in the AR1 because no half size was available. I consider myself slightly wide footed and can absolutely say 10US would have been too tight for me: crazy lockdown from the midfoot all the way towards the heel, but not enough to cut off circulation - performance fit as Zach says. Had to take a hit length wise, but due to the lockdown I didn't feel like I was slipping in the shoe at all. I'm just used to my basketball sneakers 0.5cm or so shorter.
Awesome shoe, but there's something bothering me: there the hollow shank, so there's nothing beneath the shoe arch? So good chance the arch will collapse pretty quickly once the midsole is bottomed out?
Doubt it... the rigorers were/are the exact same way with the hollow shank and never bottomed out and the rigorer 2 was the shoe austin played in all season last year

Thank you for your praise of the Chinese sneaker brand.I am from China. In recent years,a lot of NBA players choose Chinese brand and promote their development.
Third most important player on the lakers... tjird leading scorer on the lakers... highest pure shooting percentage of any guard in the nba last year... highest layup percentage of amy player in the nba (regardless of position) last season... can play 4 diffeent poaitions if needed... i can go on
@@richardgrace5043 🤣 I heard a lot 3rd's and Army isn't getting the highest level of basketball players to beat out. Yes please continue because I'm welling to bet half of the NBA have a player on the team with that description.
@@iamstillshow the true color, hater? Half of the NBA have the highest true shooting percentage? Are u just a blind hater or just being plain stupid? Keep hating because it can only bring u more suffering as AR will continue his way to stardom
Maybe when AD becomes reliable and efficient... only thing you can currently rely on AD for is too maybe drop 20+ one game but you can guarantee he will drop like 8 the next game amd for the next week or so if he does... also he is reliable to get injired a good bit and miss 30+ games a season
Big men generally don't sell shoes. Giannis might be an outlier because he's a main ball handler. I also assume that Rigorer can't afford AD, Reaves gives them access to the massive Laker fan base. Maybe they'll sign more expensive players as the company grows.
