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

Some of the main areas we cover in this basketball shoe playtest, teardown and performance review are:

- The weight, durability, fit and playability
- What are the features of the insole, midsole, and outsole
- Jordan Brand basketball shoe technology explained

Hey Doc! Bring back the jump height test. The last 2 pairs I purchased based off that were really helpful for my game. Need it back in our lives 😊

Hey Zach, big fan from the Philippines. Once again, another great review. I have a suggestion, if you can insert comparison table graphics on the measurement numbers that you mention. Lets say every review you make for the year you have a top 10 jump height chart/table, same with speed test chart, etc. This way we can see where does the shoe being reviewed stack up against the others. Maybe you can also include there in the chart your GOAT (based from your reviews) in that category so we can have a comparison view as well. Also, can't wait to try these JT Jordans out since I play that specific way that could use this shoe.

I like when basketball shoes take risk and this one is gonna pay off for Jordan and Tatum. As usual a great review. ✊🏿🔥

[RawBef]

Very interesting. I always knew I was forefoot dominant. It is really nice to finally see more effort put into forefoot when it seems all shoes are so focused on the heel. I'm definitely going to try them out.

[baranaksoy]

I’ve been waiting for these since day one. I wouldn’t want anyone but you to review these and you did that thanks man!

[doug]

You rock, Doc, for cutting these in half. Gonna be buying these at release and wanted to know more about them. I think they look really good. 🔥

[noidedghost]

definitely one of the more interesting shoes of the year especially for a debut shoe. very happy to see this review out for the shoe. (his name is actually spelled jayson not jason lol)

[samlee]

always can count on Doc for early breakdown review 👍🏻

[petemalogne]

been waitin for these!! ..most anticipated in awhile.

[kwok]

Can't wait to see you take this one apart! These are weird. Interesting points about the biofeedback of the forefoot grip and the chassis.

[TheDundeal]

The shade!😂😂 "ground contact foam"... they ain't foolin' nobody

[ZOOSH]

Literally the only person who i trust on giving a reliable shoe review

[TheGhost]

The best channel about basketball shoes! I like your new bounce height test, please do it all the time!

[Aznog]

Hi Zach! Did you skip NB TWO WXY v3 or is the BB Foam equivalent?

[billyellis]

Ive been saying this but frankly this will be the best signature jordan brand sig shoe ever. Since the jordan 1. I said what i said.

[choCLETs]

Hey Doc! I got a question, in you're own opinion what is a better outdoor shoe, the JA 1 or JT 1? Thanks

[Stoverade]

Seem perfect for me. I have been playing in the Jordan 36 low and the lack of forefoot court feel is my biggest complaint. I struggle to really put the power down in those (outside of jumping and straight line sprinting).

[vickysTravelAndGaming]

Great review, it helped me understand the shoe better. Which shoes would be good for ankle support? Is Tatum 1 good for ankle support? Any help would be appreciated. Thank you

[shannondavis]

I'm a big fan of JT and will try these for sure! Fundamentals are lacking in the kids these days they just wanna shoot 3's. Great review as always!

[Gzilla]

How do you get these?!?!?!?! I need to know!!!
