Could you review the d rose 5s?
You should be a consultant to the designers of the shoes with your knowledge on feet.
For real! Give this man a CONTRACT!
Shoe companies have those. You just don’t see them doing reviews. Companies don’t just whip up shoes. However, Zach is very enjoyable.
they don't take consultations at all from outside the company as far as I know
The Doc went from a reviewer to a consultant and architect, and I am here for it!
from foot doctor to senior product design 🔥. time to get your CV out there doc 🤞
Haha we’ll see
Foot Doctor own brand gonna goes Crazyyy 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Haha we’ll see
Love the analysis in this video, thank you.
This white board is a wondeful idea and a great improvement to show and explain !
Hey Zach, I dig this shoe redesign idea. I do the same thing all the time! I'm an athlete and industrial designer with biology and sculpture degrees, and I watch all your videos to learn more about which features and design elements separate the good shoes from the bad. Ive designed dozens and dozens of shoes now just for fun and I can tell its my calling. So I'll be designing shoes for someone eventually, but if on the off chance you read this and need a designer to help sketch concepts and develope incredible, cutting-edge shoes, then I'm your guy. Just a thought.
Love this video concept
I hear you Doc!! After playing in these for about 2 weeks and breaking in they feel great and I feel the shank and great ankle lock down compensate for a lot of the cons of the shoe. I’m super flat footed but I was really happy with all the tech and support I got with the shoe. It definitely shines on step backs, turn around jumpers, hard long strides to the basket, and well paced catch and shoots. I also feel the great traction and support when playing defense 🙏not saying there isn’t room for improvement but I’m loving what Adidas did with this show for the price!!
hey i've been a nike fan(20years) since highschool varsity to amateur leagues jordan shoes to lbj.. but this adidas made me switch! your experience is similar to mine as well. so i second your take.
Yo @FootDoctorZach, like how your hair is finally growing out and looking full there!!! Congrats!
I appreciate it
I think they made improvements with the upcoming AE1 "lows", a little less on the tpu upper with a cut out in the arch area, the heel outsole area and they went with light boost foam this time
I'm glad you pointed this out Doc. I had achilles soreness with this shoe and i wanted to love it so much. Everything about the shoe is great but the weight makes it to clunky for gaurds. It feels light on foot but the transition is not up to par. WITH THAT SAID. i am excited for the low top. The lows have potential to be a goated shoe.
Hmmm could be a reason Ant was heavily fatigued during this year Playoffs
The flange is interesting is that biggest factor in determining a basketball shoe which is good for those prone to ankle sprains ?
Or other things such as lockdown… interested to what your meaningful metrics would be for determine a shoe good for keeping ankles safe.
Doc can you please give us a lifestyle insole recommendation video or even all type of insole recommendations. Work in nyc and on my feet often and struggling to find the best combo of shoes and insoles that won’t fatigue my feet
Good point in the lateral flange, any thoughts on brands no longer included an outrigger in their shoes?
Nice analysis there doc 🙏
Speaking of which, IMO the metal grommet could be changed into a plastic ones too for lesser weight. That'd need the implementation of the Don's Lightlock system tho, so I kinda have some pros n cons regarding this due to the added complexity. There’s also the fact that they have too much padding at the side of the inner bootie, which is basically the problem of whether to keep the hugging feel of a bootie liner or making it breathable at the cost of having a cheap feeling at the feet. About the flange, kinda noticed that they're not as wide as Harden 7 for such a heavy shoe, so am in line with your recommendations here. We could also change the forefoot cushioning to Lightstrike Pro a la the Adizero SL but with Jet Boost as the carrier foam, which perhaps wud increase the bounce height and lessening the weight, while keeping price increase at minimum.
That being said, it's still my favorite hoop shoe of 2024 disregarding its cons due to my bias of bootie liner feel. But thanks for the recommendations, hopefully Adidas gotta hear em for next gen improvement 🙏
Yeah for sure they’re still great shoes and a lot of the time it’s easy to get over things you don’t like when the shoe offers certain things
You should do a video like this on the ac 12
This is a super cool concept. I think another line you could make a video like this for is the Melo line with Puma
Thanks- this definitely has been a fun concept to explore so hopefully I can make a decent series from it with multiple sports
Hey Zach! Could you do a review on the serious player only game 1s sometime?
That's why I am here for! Amazing tech savvy reviews backed with bio mechanics and medicine! Outstanding combination. I can see you starting a new job in a big sports footwear company very, very soon! Amazing review once again! Thank you!
Glad you liked the format- will definitely do more
This was really interesting to watch. I think it's important to remember these are still a well made, well designed, elite athlete's signature shoe for $120, which is a very good price compared to many other brands. Obviously the more work that goes into the shoe, the more it's going to cost. Hopefully Adidas is able to make some positive tweeks in his upcoming models while still being able to keep the cost down.
So since they did a low version. Do they integrate a “pro” version with these ideas and throw a $40 increase or idk what the price would be I think 160 wouldn’t be bad
big company should hire you to do minor fixes like this
Besides New Balance, can you suggest shoes that are a little wider in the forefoot that will allow my toes to splay under force? I currently play in the KD protos but find that pinky toes rub and I feel like I can't generate more power or be more balanced under load. I purchased the NB 2Way including the wider version, but they are too wide.

I’m really curious what the Book 1 would feel like with a small zoom air unit in the forefoot
Can you review the Andiem Pivot 1.0 shoe please? They claim it’s got the best ankle support but it’s $250 and I wanna know if it’s worth it.
li ning blast se next please! a badminton shoe that has carbon fiber shank that's also fairly affordable so I'm curious to know if it's any good
Very informative. If Adidas will listen AE 2s will be a beast.
They seem to be a pretty different set up under the hood
Nice video zach👍🏼, i have an video idea for you. How would ur perfect Basketball shoe be like: which cushioning tec, which materials, outsole etc would be nice to know which brands and already created shoes provide some of the features
I completely agree about the take on the AE 1s. I wish li-ning would send you their other models to be tested like the Liren v4 lows. It would be very interesting to see your take on it! Also, the ac 12s are having another version called encore? They look amazing and very breathable! But the boom is fully caged. Im worried about the weight and breathability of the WoW 11s too.
Boom are based on PEBAX, and they're inherently far lighter than E-TPU based foam. U could basically keeping it at sub 450gram for size 11 while keeping it being caged.
WOW 11 design is so 🗑️ looks like a little kid drew it
Adidas, Nike, New Balance, Puma, 361, UA, please hire this Foot Doctor! ASAP!
Will you review the serious player only ranger 1 when it comes out?
No idea - maybe
Any Shoe that’s like the New Balance coco cj1 for indoors ?
The marker sound was satisfying ........ screeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
Make it custom
do the the 361 big 3 5.0 quick pro red colorway and dvd 2 pink plssssssssss
Could you review nike court zoom lite 3
haha I agree with the breathability, my socks are damp every time im done hooping in mine
Would be fun to see you „create“ a phantasy shoe out of existing parts.
Like:
-outsole from Lebron 20
- shank plate from Kobe 6
- outrigger like Sabrina 1
- foam from two wxy v4
- …..
Your content is really on point at the moment, doc! 🫶🏼
Damn, adidas gonna steal ur insight for AE2
imagine foot doc having like a nike id but you give out the descriptions of your feet, playstyle, and preference on shoes.
That would be a lot of work on my end haha
Much like the Harden 7 -> Harden 8 evolution, I expect the AE2 to be a lightened version of the AE1.
wow, the heel drop is massive!
6:43 "He used to be a nice neighbor. Always with a smile on his face".
Have you considered consultation work for the shoe manufacturers?
I have for a few outside of the tennis/ basketball/ running space actually
You are so smart in this field you honestly could start your own brand or like New Balance or somebody should hire you to help finish the product
Thank you - I appreciate it
For outdoor court what is better these or mb.03 by puma?
Or what is the best shoe for a guard in outdoor court around this price tag
My question is, are the side panels like foamposites? They mold into your feet?
I didn’t find that to be the case
Hey Zach, we both are named Zach and thats cool
Clyde all pro review
What about the lacing? It sucks. Especially in the forefoot area. It looks like they fixed it on the lows
I was really excited for this shoe, but it was super uncomfortable for me. I'm usually a 14 to 15 and I really needed a 13 for length but that then made for other issues. Even at 245 lbs they were still too heavy. Thanks for telling the truth! I do love ANT though and they'll figure it out for him and it is a cool shoe from a look perspective!
Yeah I mean for a first shoe it’s still good and just in general it’s a nice shoe- just had some weak spots that I thought were pretty evident
Review Kobe 8 please
Do a custom!
My problem was they’re so damn hard to put on because of how the tongue/top of the shoe is constructed.
Naw these are perfect best shoe I've played in for a hot min
The official website says its regular boost in the heel and light strike in the forefoot
That’s been debunked
The AE lows are dropping soon
Love this breakdown, but I can see Adidas and Nike saying "but cost though"...
It's the Chinese brands who aren't afraid to throw their tech at a shoe to build market share who should be seriously looking at vids like this. 👍
Where is your wedding band from? Thanks in advance.
Just a random buy on Amazon I think
Is that the Lego Scranton branch from the show “The Office”?
Yep
Ngl I don't think this shoe has any cons. I came from curry 4s and ran those to the ground, I tried kd 9s 10s zoom soldier 10 and 11s but the cushion, traction and comfort were honestly enough for me. Yeah they're heavy but honestly after like 5 wears I honestly don't even notice it especially when I'm jumping and doing explosive movements
Take notes Adidas!
I thought with those side holes this shoe would have been super breathable 😂
how to make a shoe 180 dollars.
@adidas YALL listening???
For 120 bucks i wont complain.
They are HOT to play in
Yup
They already fixed the weight in the lows
When it’s cut in half why does it look like a Jordan shoe?! 😳😱
Honestly it feels like all of Adidas' shoes are just getting heavier and heavier
Harden 7 felt like a full size tank on my foot
@@lyinbobbycottonseed lol
This guy has a gripe with the best signature shoe this year......smh
Best signature shoe? Nah, not close my dude
you're basically saying just put the shoe on a diet. Adidas should pay you.
most males should be able to leg press half a car shoe weight is a non factor
Appreciate your review. I'm not that critical but the only thing I have a complaint about is it's not simple enough to slip into. I must use my shoe horn
I tried this shoe on and the width was good but the length was too short in my size. I have this issue with adidas shoes sometimes but the exact opposite issue with other brands
@@lyinbobbycottonseed So I'm the wrong person to advise on length because I purchased a size 11 and I am very happy with the comfort but my measured size is between 10 & 1/2 and 11 which is 10 & 3/4.
Poking at the engineers at Adidas…😬 thin line to walk on 🫣
Not at all 🙏🏼 I doubt they care
