This newer Crimson is actually a newer build (along with pine green 3, Georgetown 3, etc) - thinner tongue, revised collar shape and stitching, toecap cement print less drastic, revised overall shape. I wonder if anything internally (foam) has changed as well. They feel way better on foot.
I cried a little when you cut them open lol. Also, I do the same thing with my rubber wedding bands! I always match the colors to my shoes/outfits 😂😂😂😂😂
Thanks for keeping this series going, Zach! Always curious about how older shoes hold up. Unsurprisingly, usually it's the cushion in these retros that's the weakest link.
I bought the Fire Red 3 with the Nike Air on the back. Really lightweight and comfortable. The newer retros are a lot better than the older ones from the early 2010s. They’re far more comfortable and the materials are better.
So I’m looking for a basketball shoe to mostly use outside on my street or on an outside court but sometimes use indoors too. I was thinking between the kyrie infinity 8 and the kd 14. Which one would be better or is there another shoe I should consider. I watched both your videos on them and the kds have a more durable sole but the kyries have a more durable fabric on the toe. I’m mostly looking for durability so it can last longer but I do also want a good grip.
Hey Big Fan, I am trying to buy the trae 1s, and play outside a lot is there any way I can protect the outsole once I bring the shoe outside and take off the protector once I play in the court? Thanks
Great job on the continuous Jordan retro reviews 👍 I've played the chlorophyll 3s on galvanized iron and yeah it still playable, although I really minimize jumping for rebounds,gotta ease on my left back heel pain🥲
hey i have a question for you what would be the best basketball shoe to get for me i want something comfy and good. Also what do you think is better kawaii 2 or Kyrie 8s?
Don't know if you'll see this, but you should do another breakdown on the 2s because the recent Chicago 2s have reverted back to the original tech specs, and I'd be interested to know what you think about it
It’s because you’re seeing the outside of the shoe and the camera looks down the barrel of my met heads- makes it look like I’m swimming in them- I have about a thumb
So my question is this; out of all the Jordan’s you’ve tried out with a sincerity advise which is the most comfortable most reliable and safe jordan to hoop in? Honestly! Out of all of them
Do you mean retro 1-14 or the newer models? I haven't played in retros but most people say the AJ 11-14 are great performers still, with the 13 being the best.
Just hooped in my fire reds from the recent release and my feet are killing me compared to when I hooped in my 2013 pair. Court was dusty so I’m pretty sure that played a part.
I swear my 2013 Fire Red 3s are so dang comfy, so much so that I want to hoop in them (but need another pair before I beat these). My 2018 Black Cements feel like bricks compared to those, but the midsole of the 2018s is also holding up to cracking and wear much better. I’d gladly trade the midsole not cracking for the comfort of the 2013s.
I can't stand the IIs... Granted I've only worn the Black ones from '03 I think. Those were absolute bricks on my feet then. The Air Jordan III however feel so much lighter to me
@@FootDoctorZach the polyurethane of the originals was open cell. The retros are closed cell. They were much softer originally but crumbled a lot sooner. They started using the closed cell so the shoe lasts longer.
I love Jordans and Nike Air Forces. Iconic shoe. I’ve owned a couple pairs many years ago. I’m glad people can play basketball in them. I can’t. They are terrible shoes if you have a higher arch. I’ll never wear Jordans, Nike Flights, or Air Force ever again. They hurt my feet. I wore a pair at a retail job years ago, they hurt my lower back. Never again. I wish I could wear them, they look awesome.
Good evening, we are from Ukraine) I like to play basketball in retro models. The cushioning in the Jordan 3 is better than in the Jordan 4. But the grip is better in the 4. What is your favorite Jordan Retro 1-14 model?
The air Jordan 3s still could be a decent shoe for basketball during the 2002/03 nba season Kobe Bryant play a few games in the air Jordan 3 including the 2003 all star game

That’s is the reason why I hate the retro 3,4,5,6, 8 and 9. But thanks for this video. Really interesting video. I have the 4 FR and at the beginning they were comfortable. After 1 year, I wore them several times and the midsole became really hard and uncomfortable. I love the 8´s but I didn’t keep the bugs bunny 2013. I still have the 6 Bred and Carlin and the carmin are hella hard. But now even the 10 don’t have cushionning. If you can find the double nickel 2015 and compare with the 2016 and after AJ 10 to tell where is the difference.
I have the black-cement version of the ones you have in the video. Growing up, I had the original 1s, 3s and 6s and I can say with 100% certainty NONE of the re-releases are remotely close to the quality of the originals. Case-in-point... the originals broke in so nicely and cleanly. Even the rubber in the out-soles was a better quality. Honestly... all of the re-releases were poorly made with inferior materials. All of the re-releases are gimmick shoes and not worth the money. I have the retro 6s and though they are breaking in better than the 3s... the retro 6s are still not great. FYI.. I've always said the original 3s were better than the original 6s. When I was in school and bought the originals, I sued them for basketball, volleyball and even badminton.... solely because after spending $149.99 CAD for the 3s and $169.99 for the 6s, mom would not buy me any more shoes, so they HAD to be multi-sport shoes (haha).
Mr. Zach can i receive 1 pair of basketball shoes im from philippines haha just hoping someday ill comment to your futures video till you see my comment 🤗

I love this channel but the slicing of shoes will always be a heartbreaking process. Great to see an older pair dissected.
This newer Crimson is actually a newer build (along with pine green 3, Georgetown 3, etc) - thinner tongue, revised collar shape and stitching, toecap cement print less drastic, revised overall shape. I wonder if anything internally (foam) has changed as well. They feel way better on foot.
So nice to see your perspective about the Jordan line Doc. Keep it up. 🙏
Love these classic Jordan reviews, keep em coming legend!
Awesome review, thank you
FINALLY! THANK YOU SO MUCH DOC! 🔥👟
I cried a little when you cut them open lol. Also, I do the same thing with my rubber wedding bands! I always match the colors to my shoes/outfits 😂😂😂😂😂
NICE
Great video. Would love to see similar reviews on the Jordan 10s and 11s.
I love your videos
just found this channel im a sneakerhead now! love this channel
Welcome to the dark side
I’ve played basketball in Jordan 4s for a while now so these are great videos
Thanks for keeping this series going, Zach! Always curious about how older shoes hold up. Unsurprisingly, usually it's the cushion in these retros that's the weakest link.
Glad you like it- yeah I’m nursing a low back now after playing in the 3’s for a week - gettin old
Wish you could do more retro Jordan's shoes reviews ~! Best review i have ever seen haha
Thanks- yeah I’ll be doing 1-36
Amazing to see inside
thank you doctor
I just love this channel so much, very detailed unlike other shoe reviewers. Btw can you make a review about NIKE GT CUT please?
👍👍👍
That knife went threw my heart .
But i love your channel
Please add unboxing part also .
Now you're getting into the meat of baller kicks! TY!
This is a great review! I've always wondered what it's like to play in Jordan 3's and now I know I probably won't try 😂
Gotta stay loyal and stop by and admire how good the thumbnail is🔥🔥
early jordans (from 2 to maybe 18) are especially good for people with flat feet and overpronation issues IMO.
I bought the Fire Red 3 with the Nike Air on the back. Really lightweight and comfortable. The newer retros are a lot better than the older ones from the early 2010s. They’re far more comfortable and the materials are better.
Can’t wait for the Jordan 4 teardown
Doc please do a vid on the j12 cherry ❤
Can you do a review on the kd 11
I hope u review the new tennis release version!
Can you do an air Jordan low review
Do a review of the jordan 11's
man, I clicked onto this video worried you would cut up the cardinal red 3s and felt really bad, but I'm glad you didn't cut them up hahaha
Don’t get too comfortable haha
i wonder how many were crying while watching you cut this shoe up in half.. 😆
Equal that and crying because my jumper is so wonky
So I’m looking for a basketball shoe to mostly use outside on my street or on an outside court but sometimes use indoors too. I was thinking between the kyrie infinity 8 and the kd 14.

Can you do the new dlo lining way of wade shoes.
Hey Big Fan, I am trying to buy the trae 1s, and play outside a lot is there any way I can protect the outsole once I bring the shoe outside and take off the protector once I play in the court? Thanks
Do the rf aj3 colab tennis shoe those where great shoes
Aj3 eats my pinky just casually wearing it. I can’t imagine playing it.lol
Great job on the continuous Jordan retro reviews 👍
I've played the chlorophyll 3s on galvanized iron and yeah it still playable, although I really minimize jumping for rebounds,gotta ease on my left back heel pain🥲
Yeah tbh I’ve been suffering for a week now after playing 3 days in them
hey i have a question for you what would be the best basketball shoe to get for me i want something comfy and good. Also what do you think is better kawaii 2 or Kyrie 8s?
Please do 6s
The best of the classic Jordans. I wouldn't want to ball in them these days, though.
You should do adidas issue #3. One of the best basketball shoes I’ve ever stepped in for narrow/medium foot, high arc.
Great video, never knew they had an air sole in the forefoot. You can’t even few it 😩. Always great content sir.
I didn't they could even compress in the heel until I saw the slow motion when he heel strike lol
Took some force to do that even
Thanks!
@@FootDoctorZach damn
Don't know if you'll see this, but you should do another breakdown on the 2s because the recent Chicago 2s have reverted back to the original tech specs, and I'd be interested to know what you think about it
35cm from jump height test??!! i guess new tech and shank doesn't matter!
As a new shoe- that plummets as the shoe breaks in
Consumer needs to know what really make a shoe.. it take guts to do it thanks to you sir...
Glad you like it 👍👍
can i request a nike gt cut review if that's ok
can you do shoes for volleyball?
The jordan 3 desert elephant is the best 3 performance wise. thick 85 leather & a bit more cushion around the foot n pivot areas
practically retro's are stiff. nowadays comfort is #1!
😁✌️
Are you planning to do every Jordan from 1 to 36? That would be cool!
That’s the plan
@@FootDoctorZach 🤩
The one shoe I dunked a 10 foot goal and shattered the backboard at church. This shoe is legendary to me.
Did you go true to size with these?
You never wear your indoor shoes outdoors man. Cmon
do giannis immortality next pls
PU-anything bottoms out so fast that the footbed starts to feel like wavy dry clay. I just hoop in Nike Blazers. Great traction, court feel, simple.
Ohhh how dare you cutting into J3s !!!😂
Dremel!!!!!
But I guess even Bugattis have to have a crash test preformed 😭😭😭
you should try the jordan 4
Up next
Estan bien estos videos, porque partir mi tenis a la mitad es algo que jamas pienso hacer 😅
I wonder how much you give an allowance of your feet to AJ 3. Looks like 2 inches extra...lol
It’s because you’re seeing the outside of the shoe and the camera looks down the barrel of my met heads- makes it look like I’m swimming in them- I have about a thumb
U could use a.band saw next time when u cut open a shoe
I think people like seeing if I’ll cut my hand
So my question is this; out of all the Jordan’s you’ve tried out with a sincerity advise which is the most comfortable most reliable and safe jordan to hoop in? Honestly! Out of all of them
Do you mean retro 1-14 or the newer models? I haven't played in retros but most people say the AJ 11-14 are great performers still, with the 13 being the best.
It’s been a while since I’ve worn a bunch of them so I’ll have a better answer once I review all of them
AJ 3's are really hard to play in, with regards to the cushioning. Once you play in a pair of AJ 36, any shoe pre AJ 11 is really hard on the feet.
Except the Jordan 7, those have good soft Phylon.
Just hooped in my fire reds from the recent release and my feet are killing me compared to when I hooped in my 2013 pair. Court was dusty so I’m pretty sure that played a part.

Why Jordan 4 midsole cracks?

Breakdown some nike huraches 👍🏿👍🏿
Had to watch this bc MJ said that 3, 11, 12, 13 are his favorite and I am baffled by his choosing the 3’s
13 I get but not the 3

The air Jordan 3s still could be a decent shoe for basketball during the 2002/03 nba season Kobe Bryant play a few games in the air Jordan 3 including the 2003 all star game
I meant Kobe played a few games during the 2002-03 nba season in the air Jordan 3
In your opinion does the materials are worth 200 bucks?
🤷♂️ it’s more the lore and backstory of the shoe that’s worth the money- leather rubber and urethane are cheap relatively
