@@nickjames5129 Why though? What does this have to do with performance? If you want that go watch the sole drop channel. He does a sneak test on every review I believe. This dude just gives out straight up facts about performance. Squeak has nothing to do and would literally be a waste of his time so it seems. None of that was aggressive at all so please don't take it that way. I always thought that was an odd category for a performance review unless I'm missing something and I play 3-4 times a week.

This channel is the gold standard for shoe reviews. Now I don't buy BB shoes unless they're reviewed here first. Thanks Dr. Zach!

Ur channel is amazing bro, hope it blows up big for u

I'll have to check these out. My biggest issue is finding shoes wide enough in the midfoot. So many shoes curve inward there (to mimic normal foot shape) and it can get pretty narrow.

I hoop in the JH6 and I love them. I saw a dude at the gym hooping in the 7s. When my team lost I watched his footwork on the court and they looked grippy. I asked him what he thought of them and he said theyre solid.

Even the first copy of Harden vol7 performance is so good. Can't wait for the real ones

really like the way they look, wish the sides were a bit more slim, but i just purchased another pair of harden 1's which to date are still the best basketball shoe i've played in

this is the ideal shoes review channel, I mean it's amazing, a microscopic to see the shoes's texture, just amazing

Hey Doc, can you please add a reference point for the single leg jump and ball bounce test. There is no way for the viewer to understand how the shoe your reviewing compares to others on the jump stats without an average to compare to

Went from curry 10s to this and let me tell you. I've played the best basketball I have in years with these. Definitely my favorite hoop shoes I ever had. Bag is very deep with these on.

Finally!!!! I was waiting sooooooo long! Let's go doctor zach!

I bought this shoe and I love it. Thanks for your great review and breaking it down so nicely. These are very comfortable but a bit heavy on the heel, still just love the traction and the support, surprisingly very stable even though the sock type uppers.

Your review is straight useful because you're dismantling the shoes. It's so much real review. Thanks doc 👍

The higher bounce on the boost is because the boost is contained by the outsole on all sides, allowing the boost to compress and absorb an impact less than it usuall would; it's not because the foam is tuned!

You are the best reviewer Zach! Can’t wait to get these for $60 when they go on sale.

Hey doc please make a bounce test video where you compare the shoes side to side to rank them for bounce , traction , breathability etc. Since you usually cut up one shoe it makes it easier for the single leg jump height test since its more recent too , as well as most test require one shoe.

The first time I saw leaks I liked them. This is the most refreshing design in a while. It looks nothing like the ones we have these days, finally a shoe that pushes design to a new high. You wanna see a generic-looking design that just hides on colorful colorways? look no further than the new lebron. Looks straight out of the generic shoe in 2k.

I've had these for 4 months and everything is great however I have two negatives. I'm a really shifty player and this shoe cannot fully tighten around the forefoot because of its lace placement. And you also sweat a lot more in these, shoes are always sweaty in the inside after a game or training. In my curry 10s my feet sweat way less.

Just not a fan of the overuse of light strike in the forefoot. And honestly i just dont get why also... boost is so incredibly nice and was (when it was brand new tech) incredibly well integrated (f.e. in the Crazy Explosives). Air and Zoom from Nike are decades old tech and still get implemented a lot because the WORK aswell. Adidas is completely on the wrong track regarding cushion technology and implementation imo.
