Whoever complains about the content you put in, doesn’t understand the importance of your content. I appreciate this and all your videos. Your content has helped me multiple times make a more educated decision when buying a new pair of kicks. 👏🏽

You cutting open the shoe makes you the best shoe reviewer I know, besides the already good testing
Just keep doing what you do!

[richardmyers]

That's the thing I love the most about your channel. that you cut open the shoes and let us see the inside.

[benjaminperry]

🚨Cut the shoes in half🚨 that is by far the best thing about your content. I’ve purchased some amazing basketball shoes after watching you (cut them in half) and show me all the unseen stuff that makes a basketball shoe worth the $200 price tag. Thanks so much! Love your content.

[BreezyJC]

I have the normal lebron 21s and they’re literally the best shoe I’ve ever hooped in, traction is incredible and I play on dusty courts. I’m a big guard that puts a lot of force into the shoes and lots of fast powerful footwork

[oceancycloneblue]

This is why i like this channel, most reviewers will tell you that both versions feel the same but you broke down the differences with visual proof. Its one thing to claim they feel different but you broke down why they feel different
and i appreciate that.

[RichReloaded]

They should have released these as the intial release. They look way better and the upper is more durable.

[bryanMangabang]

When you've got dozens, if not hundreds of shoe reviewers in the internet, you have to have something unique to offer. And that's what's great about this channel: 1. He's a foot doctor. 2. He goes into the technical details of a shoe. 3. He puts a score in the review. I personally prefer a quantifiable justification of what's good in a product I'm getting.

At the end of the day, it will be subjective, but it's a really good guide for those who want to make the most out of their hard earned money.

Really appreciate for keeping that discussion about the bunion/ tailors bunion problem 👍🏻 thanks doc

[jamesnewman]

4:51 I can confirm that the gameday pro helped me break these in after 3/4 hours. Horrendous cramping for the first 2/3 hours and then just amazing, no pinching from the uppers at all even on the revised design

[GGEZ]

i have both pairs. i perfer the lite version, the leather is a bit stiff and my ankle feels weird in the old ones. the new ones feel a bit better but overall they are basiclly the same

[giuliansilverio]

People who complain why you cut shoes to see the tech used and be able to explain why specific things make or break the shoes, don't appreciate your efforts.

[zense]

the thing is that they didn't actually market these as v2 but its like a new colorway for the 21s, so one may not have known if they didn't research on sneakers😂

[njYK]

Hi @FootDoctorZach! Just wanted to let you know, the Asia release of these doesn't have the semi translucent outsole, but we instead have XDR outsoles of this specific colorway. Got em at around $80, really not bad at all!

[filipinosneakers]

I don't care what nobody say, I copped this today and hoop in them, and they are definitely an elite shoe in my opinion, the traction really do work in any court condition and also it is squeaky but the one thing that suprised me the most was how light they were and how easy I was able to do the moves I wanted to do because of this shoe. I didn't experience any stiffness eventhough I tighted the laces very well. At first I was in doubt when I was in the store if are they gonna be good, but definitely trusted my gut and really happy with the purchase. AND I also have pairs of the OG lebron 21's so before anyone says I couldn't compare both lol.. I hoop on my tahitian pair before and they were good but my only issue is they were a little bit heavy. I will definitely keep this in my rotation.

[the_real_deafeye]

I was seconds from clicking buy on these and decided to watch this video. I'm a 4E (the foot width section is the second most important part to me) so this was clutch.

[Yoooslim]

Hooped In The Wolf Grey CW Yesterday They Were Fine Other Than The Pain I Felt Taking Them Off, Hopefully They Get Better As I Break Them In

[STAR_WESTSIDE]

Thanks for another review and breakdown Doc.

Just a heads up. When you did the breathability test. You accidentally wrote “F” instead of “C” (on the original / purple LBJ 21’s). 8:44

[rokdvornik]

I'd rather thank you, Zach, because you're saving us all money by cutting a sneaker and analyzing it down to the minute! what do we even buy and wear on it

[sundayyasay]

Keep doing what your doing, I always look forward to the cutting in half of the shoe its like the desert to end the night after a the main course haha, love your channel
