ive had these shoes for a while now and the impact protection is incredible on all parts of the shoe, and your foot will never slide out of the footbed even if your foot commonly does that, like mine. also great for orthotics and the materials are freaking comfortable. i'd say only downside is how hard it is to lace up. edit: the traction will wear down REALLY quickly even on indoor courts never played on outdoors and some parts are worn down to flat
its just my feeling... puma push the norm of high performance bball shoes without too much tech inside the shoes, its really focusing how your feet stabilize and secure lockdown, i can see puma can save high cost on the production and still winning on the quality.
If ur gonna start doing the 1 leg jump test, then also do it for some previous shoes for comparison. Or at least just also include a two leg jump test. Because it’s hard to compare the bouncyness to the trc blaze court or anta kt8 for example if u did a two leg jump test with those but then a 1 leg jump test with these. So basically you should also keep including the two leg jump test for consistency and a better comparison
Hey Doc, your content is awesome. It would be awesome if you could include a baseline number to compare the bounciness statistics. 30cm bounce height is awesome but I have no reference to understand how much better or worse the shoe is as compared to others
Hey Doctor Zach, love your in depth review videos, I actually want to request a video about knee pain + knee sleeve or support hehe. Which material is good for which sport (basketball, tennis, running, etc). I'm looking for information online but not enough for me to make decision which knee support to buy. Thankyou from Indonesia 🥰
They are extremely bouncy for sure, as is the TRC Blaze. I think I might like the TRC more due to the lack of lace cover, but there are widely reported durability issues with those.
Very simple yet effective shoe , although i dont know how these compare to some older reviews that dont use this universal rating system ( which i find much more in-depth than the older one ) kind of like the TRC blazecourt or the zoom freak 4 which are all very bouncy shoes . I love your reviews as they are very detailed unlike other channels which just sum up each category .
Doc! Could you do a list for best minimalist bball shoe and/or best bball shoes for wider toe splay? That would be super helpful as I’m working towards strengthening my feet and preventing bunyons. Take care of ya feet fellas!
@@FootDoctorZach gotcha. That makes sense on the “minimalist” side of things, but are there any bball shoes with slightly wider toe box than others? I appreciate the reply!
Can you do a list of the best basketball shoes for running up and down the court for fastbreaks ? On a similar note, if my outsole has gone bald and is not usable for basketball anymore is it a good option to keep them for runs/sprints ? Assuming the cushion is not bottomed out and the outsole is the only real thing thats damaged.
Hey Doc. Please help, wich ones do you recommend, ¿puma rise nitro or puma trc blaze?, Im 5.11, 45 year old hooper, im in need of all the bounce i can get 😂
The league is basically an entertainment driven business, if the contest alone doesn't get him a deal, that's really terrible business, not to mention he's a damn great hooper
Hi doc. Have you tried the new reebok zig encore? Reebok said it's a new zigtech shoe where they used the new Zig dynamica. I saw one at the mall and it doesn't have the tpu plate that was under the heel unlike the John walls
Hey i dont know but is the undeafeted colorway of the jordan 37 is an xdr rubber outsole beacuse when i search on google it doesnt have pf name and our near shoe store have an xdr tag on it i dont know if he put it there and the dongdan colorway of jordan 37 have xdr tag too and i also search it it doesnt say pf too is it fake or is it have xdr rubber too? (From 🇵🇭) Thx!!
Hey, Zach! Awesome shoe, might be the budget pair to get for nieces and nephews who play ball. By ball of foot pain, do you mean the pain one can get with plantar fasciitis? That's where I feel my PF.
Hi Zach it seems that just about every recent shoe you’ve tested has had quote on quote ‘the best jump height test yet’ I’m talking these, the trcs, curry 10s, Jordan 37 low etc etc. Is it just me or am I just misinterpreting your explanation. Thank you so much
Wow all city 11s or 808 v2 or harden vol 7. I've been playing in pg6s for the past year but looking for something to rotate with. I didn't like the puma blaze courts or kyrie infinity
someone please help!! I have tailors bunions on my feet and every basketball shoe i wear hurts really bad and my foot slides when I stop hard laterally and its really uncomfortable. The only shoe I have tried that works is the kd 14 but its almost 2 years old now and finding new pairs is starting to get harder and harder. what is involved in having a foot fit for lateral support??? cuz if im not moving in a straight line im super uncomfortable. I will not that in all of my basketball shoes my tailors bunion will touch the side, even in shoes that are 1.5 sizes too big for me (giannis immortality 2 is the shoe i wore for this)
I like Mac as a player but he didn't save the dunk contest....he didn't do anything never seen before....he is a guy with a interesting backstory who hit his dunks....
@@bobbiebaucom2023 Bro , if ja Morant , Zion Williamson or a few other of the NBA high flyers had gotten in the contest this guy would not have Won ! He had some Nice Dunks , now All of a sudden he's the Greatest who's ever done it , " Get out of here. People are so easily impressed now days !
Because that’s not the optimal shape for basketball/ tennis - if it were everyone would be doing it- stress fractures run rampant with that design for that kind of movement
I really want to try these but I tried the TRC blaze courts and it didn’t go well so I’m a little scared about ordering these. I’m a dunker and every time I planted hard on the TRCs my ankle would hurt because of the plastic on the outside of the shoe. Do you think I’ll be able to feel that plastic on these?
Other than overall traction and step-in comfort, I really don't see what's impressive about puma basketball shoes at all. The midsole foam is years behind every other leading brand and the midfoot shank / torsional support is okay at best, but nothing special compared to something like an Anta shock wave 4. Mac's bounce was otherworldly to begin with, and the shoes didn't do much to hurt it but I 'd argue they didn't do much to improve his performance, either.
I disagree on the first point- they’re so well built in terms of simple design without throwing a bunch of bells and whistles at you - I’d argue their engineering dept is the most efficient and economical out there. The second point yeah , they’re a great compliment to Mac but obviously he’s the X factor
@@FootDoctorZach I can definitely see the efficiency in design, but we like bells and whistles too! I know it's rare a puma shoe exceeds the $140 price point but I'd love to see a shoe that goes all out. Maybe even an MB.01 premium model.

What puma shoe would you consider is best for basketball
ive had these shoes for a while now and the impact protection is incredible on all parts of the shoe, and your foot will never slide out of the footbed even if your foot commonly does that, like mine. also great for orthotics and the materials are freaking comfortable. i'd say only downside is how hard it is to lace up.
edit: the traction will wear down REALLY quickly even on indoor courts
never played on outdoors and some parts are worn down to flat
i am hoping this will improve my vertical from 1" to at least 2" and thanks Doc for these detailed reviews it helps my old 45 old feet.
Have you tried bending your knees ? If you have any.
Mac McClung really saved the dunk contest
L take
He was good but Nope
No these recent dunk contests have sucked so he really did save them
its just my feeling... puma push the norm of high performance bball shoes without too much tech inside the shoes, its really focusing how your feet stabilize and secure lockdown, i can see puma can save high cost on the production and still winning on the quality.

They don’t exist - too many stress fx, Achilles tears associated
@@FootDoctorZach gotcha. That makes sense on the “minimalist” side of things, but are there any bball shoes with slightly wider toe box than others? I appreciate the reply!
Doc do u feel that these are more bouncy than the Zoom freak 3s or Jordan 36 or GT Jumps?
Doc, can you answer on this question?

Love this! I got the trc blazecourt a few months ago and really like those might have to add these to the rotation.
I bought these months ago and they've been in my on court rotation ever since 🔥
Do they fit thought with you ? I just got mine , went true to size , tried them on and they fit really tight will it easy off?
Make a review of the NIKE AIR MAX IMPACT 4

You should cover some of Pumas running shoes. The Deviate Nitro 2 is my favorite right now
Hey doc maybe try the new andrew wiggins one. Thanks 🙏🏻
These or Ja1 for vertical?
Hi doc. Have you tried the new reebok zig encore? Reebok said it's a new zigtech shoe where they used the new Zig dynamica. I saw one at the mall and it doesn't have the tpu plate that was under the heel unlike the John walls
can you do a performance review on the Puma Deviate Nitro 2 running shoes?
Puma is dark horse 😮😮😮😮I bought this one n Mb02, not bad 😅😅😅
Can you please tell me wich one is better Puma Rise Nitro or all pro nitro?
I love ur videos, I’m flat footed and recently got the D.O.N issue 3s. My foot would go numb 😳 I need help
You should do a episode on the Air Force 1!!!
Is there a list of best bball shoes that aren’t absolutely hideous? If so, id like to see it.
How does this differ from the Puma Blaze Court?

Please shift me size 11 😭 any shoe for basketball.

Did anyone find that these fit snug especially at the tips of the toe box? Did anybody go up half size or was it better to stay try to size?
All Pumas run a half size small
Love the look of these but the outsole is just too soft for an outdoor guy like me… 😐
If Nike got you to make an air trainer 1 colorway, what would it look like?
Please do KD Trey 5 X, I really wanna see them..
I like Mac as a player but he didn't save the dunk contest....he didn't do anything never seen before....he is a guy with a interesting backstory who hit his dunks....
The dunk contest was/is so far in the basement sometimes those seemingly basic/simple ingredients is all it takes to ‘save’ it.
His dunks were creative and he hit them all on his first try. And his win was unexpected; feels like the NBA 'Rudy.'
Let him have his moment.

Is the puma rise nitro good in Dusty courts?
I didn’t pick up much dust on mine
Whats is bettter? This or PUMA TCR BLAze court 😊
All around i like these more- more well rounded
@@FootDoctorZach the size is true de size? I'm wide-footed but in puma I always go to my real size.
Puma basketball is the best designs right now melo is my favourite
Why are so many sneaker companies keep designing their toe box round instead of creating it anatomically correctly like vivo or altra running
Because that’s not the optimal shape for basketball/ tennis - if it were everyone would be doing it- stress fractures run rampant with that design for that kind of movement
this one or ja 1. what do yall think
I really want to try these but I tried the TRC blaze courts and it didn’t go well so I’m a little scared about ordering these. I’m a dunker and every time I planted hard on the TRCs my ankle would hurt because of the plastic on the outside of the shoe.

Doc you make it sound like he won the dunk contest because of the shoes. He would've done the same in any shoe literally
Deandre Ayton wears these too.
Pg6 or luka 1??

Banned- I just called RUclips and they’re sending the FBI…(😅)
It is a good shoe
Not the puma bounciest shoe you reviewed
Dang this early
Are these the bounciest shoes you have tried?
I bought these a month ago and ...meh. Nope. Clyde All-Pro was awesome.
It's a shame all these bouncy Pumas look so..... generically bland. Reminds me of when people made fun of the Currys when they first came out.
