The Biggest Problems With The Nike GT Cut 3

[LeonYuL]

Nike designed these shoes with a price division in mind instead of pushing the performance as high as possible, otherwise their models would be competing with each other. I didn't get the Book 1s because they made the inside of the sole softer than outside resulting knees knocking on any landing with any move on the court

Glad we could help keep you from those chores 🤣

As someone who has hooped in the mirage 1s about twice a week since they came out in February, I feel like they're perfect. I did buy EP as I hoop outdoors, but the grip is so good, and I personally haven't had a problem with slippage or cushion.

I'm loving this video series. Nike needs to tighten the margins on the first shoes of each of these guys. There have been quite a few on Nike and Jordan brand the last few years and they are really variable (Ja, Tatum, Luka, Zion, Booker). Honestly I think they've done more with the WNBA shoes like the Delle Donne and Sabrina's.

Eversince I watched your videos, you're my only go to shoe review. You've set the standard high. Great job doc

[jmiller]

Love these vids. Can't stop watching them, im running through the whole library, multiple times even for some to compare. Makes me that much more interested in all the new releases too. Keep em comin 👍

Never in my life would I have thought I would see a John Hill brallie shoe in a Foot Doctor Zach video

[azuma]

Amazing videos as always, would like to see a review of the Anta Zap 1 (DiVincenzo’s current shoe) soon. Thanks!

[baratiecook]

Speaking of SBs, i hope you can review the Ishod 2. It looks more like a basketball shoe than a skateboard shoe.

[Yidkiddabesht]

I like that he has been making all these shoes better

[ryanno]

100% on the lateral instability. I experienced repeated rollover during play & had to return.

[Yidkiddabesht]

Maybe he should do adidas ultraboost lite

[peejuu]

The simple fix for the lockdown issue for me personally was changing the laces to flat laces like the ones you find on the converse chuck taylors

[elmulot]

I agree with all of the comments. these shoes are great, but really lack shock absorber at the front... I injured my shin for the first time in my life with these shoes and now I'm having trouble recovering.. I don't don't understand why Nike didn't put anything at the front of the shoe to absorb jumps

I replaced them with the New Balance BB v2 while I recovered, less style but what happiness for my shins, I'm crossing my fingers for a quick recovery

[piccolo]

any plans on reviewing the big3 5.0 quick pro?

[MadSUPANOVA]

Had to pass too narrow, JA1 a little better fit but also too tight across top bridge of toes where the laces start. Nike has gotta cut the shoes wider. That is what laces is for-to make shoes tighter on feet if lose. I don't get it. Same issues with Lebrons... too narrow.

[jeffjuansonify]

Hi Zach! would you recommend using gameday insoles for the Book 1? would greatly appreciate your response!

[jsphln]

I really like your doctor analysis of review but I'm curious on your term flange/flauge, please correct me if I'm wrong but neither of the two does not corresponds to the meaning of stabilizing shoe, which I believe you are pertaining to. Why not use the term "outrigger" as this means a mechanism for stabilizing in small boats and which was adapted to performance sneakers? I hope you can enlighten me on this and provide the correct spelling for the flange/flange you are referring to for stabilization
