As a foot doctor I look at basketball shoes and basketball sneaker technology a bit differently as I focus more on what foot types benefit from these shoes as well as the basketball shoe's functional attributes on the basketball court

I'd be curious on another video like this, but with Malcolm Brogden still wearing the Freak 1

[jrdatrackstar]

I noticed he was still running these as well and was wondering. That said, the GT Run is my one of the main shoes in my rotation (GT Cut 2, GT Run, Jordan 37). I know a lot of people hated these but the cushioning and lockdown are amazing for me. The only con is traction on dust but outside of that these are like Kobes for me.

Also, he was playing in the Hustle but prefers these and I can see why. The Hustle has less impact protection (not double stacked forefoot) and they aren’t as wide because they lack an outrigger.

If the shoe fits, wear it. I still wear the Nike Hyperdunk 2011 A) because I'm old and B) because I've yet to find a shoe that works better for my feet.

38 pts 10 rebounds a night ago...he can play for sure...he makes Durant look small...LOL

[mythiclords]

Great video analysis. Would be interested in learning more about who makes those custom alterations on shoes for NBA players and what they might be.

[zense]

super review doc, i honestly thought wemby would play something like the kd 15s, since he and kd have near similar builds and playstyle

[thisisnotachannel]

Please do a review on why Jokic only uses Gt Jump everytime I see him play

[jamesj]

I bet he'll get his own signature shoe soon and will take most elements from this for his performance/health with just it's own styling and probably improved specs more towards Basketball like the traction pattern etc.

[karithemaician]

🤷🏾‍♂️ Nike already know exactly the type of technology they going use for his signature Shoe now.🤷🏾‍♂️😂😂 probably the first Nike athlete who doesn’t rotate shoes often. Intriguing

G.T. Run has tons of cushioning for impact protection while not too high off the ground like the G.T. Jump 1 & 2, G.T. Hustle just doesn’t have enough impact protection for Wemby, I think his 1st signature shoe will be similar to G.T. Run

[AddOnKicks]

With my thicker feet, I found the GT Runs almost unbearable with the lace pressure through that thin tongue. It was so bad it's hard for me to fathom that the PEs don't have extra padding to alleviate that.

[Cooj]

Just goes to show that the newest offerings aren't necessarily the best for you. Been wearing the dame 1s for the longest time had no issues. Would've loved to keep playing in those but I burned through the tread already.

[GrinerB]

I’m always interested in the specifics of player orthotics. Especially players like Lebron who have shoes built around his needs and preferences.

[clintguia]

What's next after GT Hustle 2? GT Sprint 3??

[cardhubchris]

With Wemby's unique frame and foot features, will having his signature line within his first two seasons help him in minimize the chances of (early) foot/knee injuries?

[sennsir]

I have all the variations of every single shoe in the GT series! I use a different version depending on which role I’ll be playing that day & they all do extremely well!

[oOblistexOo]

I used to play in those shoes and liked the cushion. Unfortunately I sprained my ankle in these very bad

[TheDundeal]

Mine were so stiff for so long...they are pretty good now

[dloading]

Hi Zach! Got a question for you! Do you think big heel cushionings like Zoom or Boost or mushy foams can be a issue for Achillies because of the compression? I got achillies tendonits and I feel like a stiffer heel foam give me less stress on my Achillies than big or mushy foams!
P.S: love your videos 🙏🏽🙏🏽

phenomenal breakdown and very intriguing video, thanks Doc
