I really love how Dr. Zach includes heel slippage. Rarely in youtube reviewers talk about heel slippage. Really great review. I would also include how flexible / stiff a shoe is as someone who has a plantar fasciitis it affects my foot too if a shoe is to stiff when Im running. although I know stiffness helps with prevention of ankle rolling.
Zach I was so excited about this shoe because of all the cushion. I’m 44 and play mostly outdoors. These things are a death trap. I never have ankle sprains/twists and had the worst injury of my life in my opinion due to the shoes. I came down on my heel grabbing a rebound and had an extremely bad lateral sprain. Stability was the one con in your review and others I watched. I played about 5x in them with no issue but then had the incident happen. I wanted to pass along so you were aware of this major flaw in the shoe design.
I recently bought these shoes. I had torn a ligament in my ankle and was looking for cushioned shoes, but none were available in the market. As a fast bowler recovering from injury, I modified the sole of these shoes into spike shoes. Now, I can land with as much force as I want without feeling any pain. Highly recommended!
Yeah I love the Hustle 2 and these are a very different pair of shoes. Only played in the 3s once, today, but agree with and noticed everything FDZ says. You feel higher up, but it makes you want to run forward, it’s willing you forwards and changing that shin angle. The Hustle 2s are mad comfy but they are flat flat, they are happy if you’re comfortable and having a good time. Hustle 3s are tipping you forwards to run the fast break every possession.
I feel the same way about these and the Hustle 2 vs the Run. The Hustle 3 feels like the true successor to that shoe, while the Hustle 2 felt like a really random departure that was aiming for more of a KD14 overall offering (but without a shank). The forefoot of the 3 more closely matches what I was expecting the Hustle 2 to be, and with the improved traction on dust (my only knock on the Run), these might even give my Lebron 20/21s a run for their money. I still have the Run as one of my favorite shoes in my lineup (didn't even look at the Hustle 2, even with sale prices), and can't wait for the 3 to drop in price for me to try.
some won't probably disagree but I love wearing daily basket shoes for comfort...and I have to say, the best I ever buy for now...I got the new white blue gold and the electric....clearly I won't wear the shoes when it's raining because they are breathable...thx for the review from France
I own the original GT cut, the latest GT jump 2 and now the hassle the multi-colored recently released. I own the lebron signature line from 15 to 21 to the exception of 18. JORAN 35 TO 38..... I have damaged my knees and back in the past, these shoes are a God Sent. I am 44 years old 6.2 234 LBS, when I land of a jump, I need a decent amount of cushion to prevent more damage to my used and abused body. If you are older and want to preserve your ligaments and joints, this a fantastic shoe. If you are younger and light, I would go with the Lebrons 21 or Jordan 38. One thing g to keep in mind, not all color ways feel and behave the same. My lebron 21 purple for example is the best out of most of the color ways available in terms of feel and cushion. I have a regular size foot, I had to go a size up and still fits snug. The material on the multi-colored way is stiffer than the one on the video. It would be helpful if you tried them on first prior to buying them. You have 2 months with nike to try a shoe and return it if you don't like it.
thanks! im the biggest fan of GT Hustle 2. it just works well, i can play, no pain on knees and foot, grips just fine, supportive enough, good enough on all categories. good or bad , I had to get these!
Had a grade 3 sprain using the GT Run (Hustle 1) and kept rolling in them after I recovered. Had to sell my two pairs. I still extremely want these, they look slightly lower, more stable with the shank and the shape of the forefoot looks way better
I pride myself on playing great defense on the perimeter so a shoe like this probably won’t work for me as a lower stack height gives me more confidence in moving side to side (and coming to a stop) quickly Thanks for another great vid, Doc!
im very picky when it comes to basketball shoes because im prone to ankle injury but when i wore the converse g4 high top, i like it alot the stability is very good and i didnt have ankle issues. STABILITY should be prioritze when it comes to basketball shoes for me
The ball getting stuck in bars behind the backboard really hit home for me. Haha. Wish these 3’s had more support as I was really hoping this shoe was the one.
Great review Dr Zach, always given us great quality content!! 💪🏿🧠💯 Cannot wait for the review of the Li-Ning Bad Five 3.0 Ultra those are bad boys !!! 🏆🏆🏆
You might ankle roll/break yourself if you wear this shoe, the forefoot is too high off the ground cause of the cushioning setup, lateral stability will become an issue whenever you do crossovers or sliding your feet when defense
That midsole. I can only see this being a lifestyle shoe. will see what other colorways come because i actually like the whole look of this. Night & day vs the old shoe
great vid doc‼️This is an unrelated question tho, you think the game day pro insole is a good match for the Kobe 4?? I really want to dabble in a performance insole for the minimal Kobe’s
Zach, I had to play it 2 times...How comfortable are they again...LOL...@ 1:40 mark......now that my wife told me they were "plush and comfortable"...i hear it that way now...guess I have been listening to RAW comedy on Sirius too much...LOL
they should put full length zoom stroble in everything. that 1st. and for lebrons, kobe protros and jordans, jampack them with everything they got ala li ning. and not raise the retail prices.
They needed to have more reinforcements or overlays on the uppers. I’m not feeling the shank. Should have been more elongated. Needs air zoom in the heel. It’s an upgrade from the 3. Overall I’m a bit disappointed. Thx
Hello Zach, i am a small forwards/ strong forwards, i can you tell me if these shoes are good for my post. Is because in my op they looks nice in visual, but i cannot tell if they are in my average post gameplay. Have a nice day.
My ankles hurt just by watching doc doing lateral movements on this shoe. Whoever designed this model needs to be fired. Nike GT Ankle Sprain. Anyway. Great review from Doc the GOAT as usual! Waiting for the Shockwave 6 and GT Hustle Academy reviews!
Son una maravilla, el único detalle que están reducido su tamaño, por lo que recomiendo pedirlos por lo menos,medio número más grande al que usas habitualmente.,En el video lo confirma!
@@FootDoctorZach I think they had a full run restock just recently, unless that's a regional stock. Just got a pair of US12 and seems very similar to Anta KT 2 / 3 / 4
Hi, how would you consider wearing these shoes for tennis? Interestingly I found some basketball shoes more comfortable and functional for tennis than many tennis shoes. I'm about to try out this pari.
Hate it. The Hustle 2 was one of my favorite shoes last year if not my favorite. Would have much preferred an incremental change instead of an overhaul. Hope I can grab another Hustle 2 on deep discount before they are gone.
Does it help with a knee pain? I currently have PFPS, and i'm doing shockwave theraphy. I'm try to find a shoes that can help me with knee pain, i'm currently using kobe 8's and i'm thinking about grabbing this since theres a lot of this on outlet near me. Is this something worth considering buying for that purpose? I'm debating if Im gonna grab it cus I didnt want to waste money if it's not worth it can you recommend something great shoes for knee pain? Thanks in advance for responding!
hey doc can you review ST 2, a signature shoe of Scottie thompson a pro bball from the philippines and the brand World Balance(also local) it would be amazing to see u review it
This gotta be some sort of negligence lawsuit on nike's part, not just for dismembering the line of "gt hustle" with inconsistency, but for the fact they are allowing such a clearly poorly designed shoe to be on market
Smh why the big departure from the GT Hustle 2? The 2 was such a sleek, low-profile shoe that would fit a guy like Jason Kidd. The 3 just looks chunky for no reason, with all that likely instability from all that foam.
Great review Zach! Shame that the lateral containment is terrible. I called it from the moment they released the images, how could Nikes quality assurance department and design dept. now know how terrible this was going to be with thicc forefoot cushion? But that’s what Nike does best, making almost perfect shoes every time so the consumer hope that next time they’ll get the formula finally down for performance (they won’t 😢)
To be honest, if you professionally trained, the high midsole isnt an issue of injury But stepping on someone’s foot will be a RIP for ankles And high stacke midsole is a bye bye So in all seriousness, people have to know that wemby doing mid range shots for that reason Longevity is a rare thing, most hoopers want cross-over, posterise dunking. And having this shoes going into the paint is crazyyyyyy

More of a child of the Air Zoom bb nxt

Hey doc awesome review! Just a suggestion for traction test if u could let the shoe slide laterally not just forwards
I think stability is the biggest question on these shoes.

Looks like a new version of bb nxt ! 😁 Finally, another model with some cushioning 😊
Thank you Zach !

Dr Zach, stop taking shots behind the backboard lol 😅 Thanks for the great information on the various shoes though!! So informative
eyeing this shoe so rn, thanks doc
The Wemby 2s needed to be nice and thick in the midsole because Wemby needed the extra height

Hi Zach, what about this shoes for a volleyball player. What other just can be good for a volleyball player.tnx
Reminds me of the air zoom

What brand are those blue and yellow on white socks they look sick!
Same 😅

What kind of socks are those?
Do you think this would be a good fit for a center/power forward player?
Zack she should do the grip test before the rubber worms up and after
What socks are you using?
they should put full length zoom stroble in everything. that 1st. and for lebrons, kobe protros and jordans, jampack them with everything they got ala li ning. and not raise the retail prices.
Can you please do the Serious Player Only Player 1 Plus
With the Explosive Drop-in Midsole
a shoe that I can maybe use for my running and casual bball
On the outside that zoom air unit looks like a double pod like the freak 3 and 4 had
They needed to have more reinforcements or overlays on the uppers. I’m not feeling the shank. Should have been more elongated. Needs air zoom in the heel. It’s an upgrade from the 3. Overall I’m a bit disappointed. Thx

Good for gym weights and treadmills?

hey doc can you review ST 2, a signature shoe of Scottie thompson a pro bball from the philippines and the brand World Balance(also local) it would be amazing to see u review it
He should review how the back top of the shoe should go outward, should not rub the achilles tendon
, a torn achilles may end an athletes career.
Zach how good are the T-Mac 1 for play?? I’m thinking of buying ones
These or LeBron 21 for tennis or pickle ball? Thoughts? Thanks!
RIP your ankles if you play pickle in these
@ yeah was hoping it would be ok enough since cushion is great for my knees. Thanks
I suffer from foot soreness in the mid foot and I have jumpers knee. Would these work or what would you suggest?
Reminds me of Nike hyperfuse 10 yrs ago
Would you say the cushion is comparable to the NB Freshfoam BB V2?
Somebody please update me on the lateral stability! Did anyone roll their ankle yet?
This gotta be some sort of negligence lawsuit on nike's part, not just for dismembering the line of "gt hustle" with inconsistency, but for the fact they are allowing such a clearly poorly designed shoe to be on market
Which better between this and jump 2s?

To be honest, if you professionally trained, the high midsole isnt an issue of injury
But stepping on someone’s foot will be a RIP for ankles
And high stacke midsole is a bye bye

Longevity is a rare thing, most hoopers want cross-over, posterise dunking.
And having this shoes going into the paint is crazyyyyyy
Like how he just had a clip trying to get the ball
That looks so high off the ground
it is
Waited for that…
They look like the old lebrons with the fact their built like a boot and the zoom air
Wait for the sale. $85 seems more appropriate.
