    As a foot doctor I look at basketball shoes and basketball sneaker technology a bit differently as I focus more on what foot types benefit from these shoes as well as the basketball shoe's functional attributes on the basketball court
    Some of the main areas we cover in this basketball shoe playtest, teardown and performance review are:
    - The weight, durability, fit and playability
    - What are the features of the insole, midsole, and outsole
    - Nike basketball shoe technology explained

    Jordans 11-14 are the best retros for actual basketball playing, the 12s and 13s are known to be one of the most stable ball shoes ever, they are MJ's all time favorite J's to hoop in as well, and I don't doubt the man

    Hi Zach, I couldn't agree more. The 11 and even the 12s (which are my favorite jordans) were a head of their time. I've put patients in both, however, getting them is the problem sometime. Some retros are still relevant. I would look at the zoom flight 95. It's step-down model the air thrill flight was probably my favorite along with the jordan 12. Keep up the good work, saves me from cutting up my collection haha.

    Hi Dr Zach, great video/work. I play in the retro 12s now with the move game day insoles and they’ve broken in pretty nicely. In your opinion we’re the 11’s lighter than the 12s and did you use insoles in yours or were you able to just play with the regular ones that came in the shoe?

    No one talks about how a majority if not all shoes made nowadays are way to narrow for a foot reducing the natural splay of your toes and thus more instability due to a lack of surface area your foot has on the ground. At least the companies should add a wide and extra wide version of all their shoes.

    In my opinion, as a bigger guy, i felt like the lateral stability was not as great. I dont know if you felt like the heel was noticeably higher than the forefoot. So for me, the heel to toe drop with not as great lateral stability, I couldnt hoop in them. My style of play is physical down low.

    Not much foam under the forefoot, which I find interesting considering it's the 11th shoe in the lineup. You'd figure MJ's cushioning requirements would've gotten more demanding as he aged. Was it to save weight on the otherwise bulky shoe?

    Hey zach, for a bit I have watched a lot of your shoe reviews and I need help on making a choice. Sorry this isn’t related to this review and you probably get questions like this a lot.
    In comparing the Kyrie 8 and Jordan Zoom Separate, do you believe that the cushion in the heel would bottom out in the Jordan in a couple months? I heard you talk about the arch but not the heel. I am looking for a shoe that would last at least 4 months playing indoor basketball a couple times a week? I need impact protection to last for a while for my knees, thanks, and much love to all the detailed reviews.
    Also, my whole foot is 2E so I was thinking a half size up in both but the Jordan would fit better. I tried kyrie 8 in my reg size and it was extremely tight and restricting. Was also looking at the kd15 in my reg size but idk if it would be wide enough or work on dust
