Great video Zach, can you review the Player one plus again? They have made a lot of changes since you reviewed the first model and I think a lot of people would like an updated review.
Hey Doc and guys，I’m an ordinary kicks lover from China. On the Chinese internet,people always discuss the pointed shoes that may cause hallux valgus problem on Nike shoes recent years, like ja 2,lbj 21,Sabrina 1&2. So I’m wandering if these problems also trouble you guys or just because of the difference between people’s feet types? :-) (sorry for my poor English
Hey doc, I know you got a ton of stuff to review, but I think going to review all the newer stuff Serious Player Only is doing would be pretty cool. Updated their first model, got new tech, and have even signed NBA players
Looking to buy my first pair of Basketball shoes in 30 years and this is overwhelming. The last pair I remember buying were the original Iversons, I can't remember if they were the Question or the Answers...used to be able to get the colors nobody wanted for $17-24 bucks at the outlet. My play style is oldschool downhill small point guard, sharp cuts/direction changes, looking for an OUTDOOR shoe for solo play, shooting around and some medium to heavy drills. I almost pulled the trigger a couple of times, partially because of your reviews, on those Big3 Pro's, they seemed to check off all the boxes for me and you had them ranked pretty high but I havent even seen that brand on the last few. (If they were easy to get I would've gotten a pair by now) So would you recommend your #1 or #2 New Balances from this video for me over the Big3 Pro's or those new Aarron Gordon 5s? Currently, for the last year or so I just shoot around in whatever Trail Running or jogging shoe I have on at the moment and honestly its fine, just curious about this brave new world out there. Shot around with Bondi8's on the other day, no complaints, a little "squishy" at times but soft. Any help would be cool. Not sure what other info I can offer to help, after the Iversons, I always played in low tops (fast guard) and since there wasnt a good selection on the market back then I went for more running/tennis shoes but never found anything that really stuck. I played A LOT of Basketball too, but shoes were never my thing or something I was knowledgeable about
i have stuck with the NB v3 and V4 in the Two Wxy for pickleball and I also have the BB2 and I prefer the Two Wxy over the BB shoes....I still use the PG6 which is the last version of Nike's Paul George line and I like them the best out of the PG line...great recommendations on the NB shoes and when the prices start to lower on the V5's , I will get a pair or 3
Hard seeing a top 5 list without he 361 Quick Pros. I've tried about 7 different pairs of basketball shoes this year and the 361s are easily the best. Cushion, insane traction, great color ways and excellent support. No idea how the Sabrina would rank higher.
From own experience can confirm NB TWO WXY V5 is such a great value got em at 120 bucks and its a solid shoe on all categories, specially coming at 2E. And best performance shoe to me while super expensive is WOW 10 LOW.
I'm very happy with the New Balance FF BB V2. I found the pair in sale for 60€. Amazing shoe for me, the shoe check all the boxes for me. It's comfortable without be to soft and you can play long time with them. Very stable too and the foot is lock up perfect even with custom insoles like my case.
The V4 are the best shoes I've ever worn. Light and loaded and only $60 at the time. I really want to try the bb2 but can't find anywhere to try them on
zach do u think i could cut the connection from the top tongue of encore 12 to the sides of shoe to give me better comfort. I have wide feet and didn't take that into account. Otherwise I'd have to sell them or something
Hi doc, I want to consult something hopefully you can see this. I just want to know the proper fitting of the shoe. You are always using size 11 shoe and the allowance on the tip of your toe as per my estimate is around 1cm. Is that the recommended allowance?
Curious with the NBs being 1 and 2 how you think think the Kawhi 4 stacks up against them? Or if its higher price knocks it down relative to the similarly high performance of its brand peers? Recently getting them on sale for $130 CAD changed that for me.
I think Zack likes a lot of conteinment like he said the 2wxy have a rugged uppers, but if you already have a great foot work like you know how to transition heel toe I think the kawhi 4 is better with that heel plate
Your choices are top tier but since there’s a better option with the NW Fresh BbV2 you should exclude the hezi’s and include the Lebron 20’s ! But which shoes would be best for outdoors ?
I knew new balance would top this list! But my preference leans more on li-ning shoes. My preference can be super bouncy and plush feeling or courtfeel focused shoes like WOW 10 or all city 12/encore.
I haven’t tried any of the New Balance basketball shoes yet, but I can tell you that my favorite running shoes are from New Balance. And I have a lot of different running shoes to choose from.

Interesting observation, now I realize that this may be the case.
So is the puma nitro pro a good shoe?
Thanks for answering my question yesterday about Grade School Shoes. Would love to see a video on it!
You on about plimsolls?
Can we get a review on the Skechers Skx Reign and the EQLZ 360?
Love how you keep it honest!!
Im tryin'

So which are the better shoes, wxy v5 or BB2
Got 3/5 of the top 5 list, great shoe reviews as always. Now im torn between getting the AC12 encore or the Wow 11.
With so many great shoes and reviews, might have to start going Top 10 👍
Is the WOW 10 still a cop nowadays?
it’s a generational shoe id say its a cop
For sure
@@OnyxTheGSD damn that's a bummer, mine doesn't have the smell
@@ronelxr6669 💯 agree
Still an elite performer, great to see Way of Wade still bringing new colorways to market! 👏
would the puma all pro nitro still be worth it now?
The most recent hesi v2 has been my favorite shoe!!! Such incredible grip on the dusty courts im on
great to hear about New Balance really stepping it up.

Love these lists. I was able to get the eqlz and all I can say is wow. Hands down the most comfortable shoe I’ve ever worn
Yeah they’re something else

Never clicked so fast! Love these lists

Best for impact protection and help reduce knee shock v4 or bbv2
The V4 are the best shoes I've ever worn. Light and loaded and only $60 at the time. I really want to try the bb2 but can't find anywhere to try them on
Could you do one video with the Asics metarise..??
are the way of wades not up there? not the 10 or 11??
zach do u think i could cut the connection from the top tongue of encore 12 to the sides of shoe to give me better comfort. I have wide feet and didn't take that into account. Otherwise I'd have to sell them or something
Appreciate it, good guide
Crazy I just got some BB v2 for $65 today, was going to wait for the v3 but the v2 just look soooooo much better
Where the f did you get them for $65????
My budget is 200CAD, shld i get 361 BIG3 5.0 Quick Pro, or some other shoess? Which other shoes(if not 361)
this pair has good reputation on Chinese social media, and it only cost you about 420 yuan,like 60-70 dollars 😂 But I think if you like it, it worth 😊
Good recommendations for pickleball shoes please

Hey Doc, between Sabrina 2 and the Lebron, which is better for wide feet'ed ogres like myself? 😂😂
Sabrina 2
I want to buy lebron nxxt gen ampd or gt cut 2 guys? Which shoes are worth to buy
Lebron nxxt
dame 9 is a great shoe specially for its price (now on sale in most stores)! its an all rounder shoe even though its on the heavy side!
It’s literally not on sale anywhere, tf you on
@@GriftinBobbySunflower just bought one from sports direct for 84 euros. if thats not on sale then my bad.
All City 12 Encore are the best :D

In terms of pure performance the Kawhi is a superior shoe IMO but as a whole it’s one peg down- still great though
I PLAY POWER FORWARD GT JUMP 2 OR GT HUSTLE 3 ?!?!?!
what are the best shoes on this list if i have a tailor's bunion?
Love my bb v2's! and you can get them for $57 these days... No brainer! Must cop!
Where do you find them at that price?
Not in my size. Smh
@@travisstrickland7270 what size you wear ?
no kawhi 4? they fared well in the guide video
Should a get a curry shoe. What one would be the best.
Wow 808 4 ultra not good? Just bought them😭 and kobe 6 protro mambacita

So the All City is better than the WoW 11???
Tatum 3 is a better overall shoe than the Luka 3 just my opinion but I know a few other RUclipsrs who would agree
My top picks this year in no particular order:
Sabrina 2s, Serious Player Only Ranger 1, Kai 1
are the kd 17 still valid?
Never been a huge fan
Where is 361 big 3 5.0 quick pro
Wade of wade 11? They are the lightest most comfortable shoes I’ve bought. I tried the new balance at the store but they didn’t feel as good.

Dame 9 took FOREVER to break in though, that upper is way too stiff imo

No Book 1 love?
I think my 2 Book 1 reviews speak for themselves in terms of my thoughts on them
I play tennis with the two wxy v5
Good call
I haven’t tried any of the New Balance basketball shoes yet, but I can tell you that my favorite running shoes are from New Balance. And I have a lot of different running shoes to choose from.
Jordan Luka 3 would have been my first choice because I’m a fan of Luka Doncic.
Could just be me, but my Luka doesn’t grip on dirty courts at all 24 I have to wipe every second
That’s been a problem since his first release, my teammate would skip constantly due to the dust
