    @FootDoctorZach your channel continues to leave the competition in the dust with your scientific approach to show reviews. 2 suggestions for videos based on this one: 1. A comparison of the OG Kobe 8’s to these. Different rubber compound and Chris from Weartesters has criticized Kobe’s protros some compared to the OG’s and these are a little heavier, I’d be interested in your in-depth review of both. 2. A vlog series where you go to a coach/trainer for basketball. I think it would also help you put shoes through tests that more closely mimic the movements of people who play basketball, plus would be entertaining. (This is not a criticism, you’ve said yourself that tennis is your main sport.)

    Had an original pair of Kobe 8s back in the day. Felt super light and great on foot but there was zero impact protection lol. Felt like these “Protros” were a big miss on Nike’s end. Could have easily given us some zoom or max air to beef up the cushioning but cant cut too much into profit margins…

    Yeah I mean if it helps even 2-3 people make a buying decision instead of having to process returns it’s worth it - honestly the only reason I don’t on these is because they’re so limited and so many people want a pair so I’d rather keep them in circulation but if and when Nike starts making them as available as the KD’s or Sabrina’s for example, then yeah I’ll start cutting them and doing the full teardowns

    Nike shoes almost always get the worst reviews from Zach. Why? Because other companies are doing better. Simple as that. Not sure why Nike has gone so downhill in quality. But other companies have overtaken them, and that’s made very clear when he does these takedowns. Can’t thank Zach enough for showing the true value of each shoe.
