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
- Way Of Wade basketball shoe technology explained

Its not available in India😶
Which is better for small forwards, these or the all city 11s
Love the grading template! Hope to see it in more videos!
I'm still enjoying playing with my Puma TRC Blaze Court because of your teardown review. It's still performs amazing, so bouncy and grips beastly in any court condition. More power to you Doc!
is it lightweight like jordan 36?
@@kalmkornYes
Aww man, I just got my 808 V2’s now you’ve got me wanting a pair of these! Love it, appreciate the thorough reviews you’ve had a hugely positive impact on my basketball shoe purchasing 💪🏾🏀
V2’s are great
same 😅😂
I was looking hard at these but was scandalized by the cheap price tbqh. I was thinking they must be using cheap materials that won't last long or something. So I held off and go the eAll City 11s Caution and 2 Pair of WOW10s and WOW10Lows. Now I'm thinking I should've gotten a pair. Maybe I sill when more color ways come out even though I love this color way specifically in this type of shoe.
Great video! Any chance we’ll get a best outdoor court shoes ranking video?
Wade has been killing it so much lately, love their shoes!
Yeah its tough to find a lot of faults in the newer models - such good design and execution - i almost wish they'd make a few bad ones so people didn't think I was just a fan boy
@@FootDoctorZach you didn't love the D-Lo shoes, so you can pull that receipt out if anyone complains. 😆
@@FootDoctorZach After allcity 11 and wade 10, I don't want to wear anything..
@@CoachMax12 agreed almost makes you want to buy every colorway 😂
@@FootDoctorZach What would be the best way of wade for vollyball?. Besides the WOW10. (to pricy)
THANKS MAN !!!! I am from Colombia and It is hard to buy good quality shoes because you can't buy them in real stores, so everything is online and this reviews help me to decide to buy the Fission 8. I am a PG who mainly play outdoor and ofcourse the weather in Medellin is quite hot, so I will write you my opinion when it arrive here.
so? how are they holding up? how is the fit?
Your breakdowns are so great, Zach.
Thank you
Is that a KZhead award behind you Foot Doctor Zach? Well deserved!
I appreciate you
Thanks Zach. I like how you had a “Eureka!” Moment while you were sleeping 💤. 😂
Very interesting, it’s like the reverse of what Nike did with the Lebron 20 using boom instead of zoom but going bottom loaded in the forefoot and top loaded in the heel, which I think may actually function better opposed to bottom loaded heel top forefoot.
hey doc I love your reviews and videos, I noticed on your review of son of flash that you included the fit for the shoes where in it details if the shoes are bad for a person who has bunion feet etc. I hope you always include them on these types of reviews as well. I deeply appreciate it being one of those who has bunion feet
If I don’t mention it it’s neither specifically good or bad - just neutral
@@FootDoctorZach Thank you doc, any Basketball shoes you may recommend with a bunion feet?
get well soon doc! great review as always!!
I appreciate you
I bought the Fission 8's in the panda colorway. I am a US size 12 4E wide, But I bought a size 13. I have played in these 3 times a week since May 31st. No foot cramps, no heal pain or ball of foot pain, Very bouncy shoe. Super Grippy. I love playing in these and recommend them to Bigger players and Wide footers. Only thing i did was replace the insole with a copper fit heavy duty insole. I have a large rotation of shoes and this is my favorite so far.
what is the 4E thing? I want to buy this but i dont know wich size choose (i'm a 13 US on nike and i have a normal foot i think)
4E is Extra wide 2E is wide, D is regular width @@giannirodari8555
@@giannirodari8555 4E is the widest foot fit
@boilerman-rd4xh would you say your "wideness" is on the midfoot or forefoot?
I love most of the wow shoes. I REALLY wish you could try them on some where. My feet are picky I don't wanna order 4 shoes and have to send back 3. Love these videos and the advancement of the tests. Only shoe reviewer I watch now.
wide feet? which ones do you reccomend?
Hi Dr. Zach! Would it be possible if we get a comparison for which wade shoes is better? Thank you!
Great review as always Dr Zach 💪🏿🧠💯 Hopefully you could get the Li-Ning Bad Five 3 Ultra, excellent for any ground in or outside 💥🔥☄️ Hes precessor was very darn good BF2, this new BF3 Ultra are even better....
Might seem like a weird request here Zack, but I’d like to see a video on the underarmour project rock. Lifting, training, and short distance running style shoe. Would love to see it cut in half.
Iam just new on your channel, so this shoes are they probably one of the best to play out side ??, and man i cry when you cut the shoe😢😢, jaja great your channel i love the way that you show the results
I bought 1 pair played in them 3 times outdoor and ordered 2 more,thats how good they r,i think these r better to go with than the wow 10 cause its half the price,it has great ankle support to surprisingly n the cushion is great
I love step-back. Can the traction of this shoe support it efficiently, sir ?
As always a very detailed review. In the context, they are very reminiscent of wade 10. I had my eye on them for a long time, I will buy them.
Wait till you see Yushuai 16 v2 before you make a decision 😂 youre welcome 😉
I wanted a summer basketball shoe, so I bought them. Great review as always
Good choice!
Fam ur videos help me wit my Shoe Investments 🫡🫡🫡🫡 Love da reviews man ur a lifesaver
Dear foot dr, pease try some peak shoes, pretty good performance . Get well soon. Love from Mexico city 🇲🇽
was heavily considering these shoes
Worth adding an insole to these for jump performance? I don't feel quite as springy in these as the wow 10 but I don't want to wear those outside like these ones haha
Great review Zach. Do you think these might be a good show for playing squash? A ton of lateral movements. But I'm needing something with a better shock absorption than regular squash shoes.
Yup
U should try the ascis nova surge low
What would be better for shin splints, fission 8 or WOW 10s. I am a real heavier guy that plays PF and get shin splints bad.
The Doc approves? These are a must cop now!
Please do a review Fission 8 vs Son of Flash 😊
Hey Zach, I'm still waiting for your review on the Li Ning Liren (Sharp Edge) 3 V2. 😊
Are these better than the AC 11 in your opinion? I'm a 6'4" 180lb athletic guard
Nice review i watch your teardown and i buy the shoe based on your review👍👍👍👍
I appreciate you
I'm some how a wide footer, which one would u recommend, I'm thinking between Fission 8, AC11, and SOF. Thanks!
Way of Wade Li-ning & Anta have just been hitting home run after home run, too loaded & bottom loaded carbon fiber shank with that cushion? At that price? And they’ve managed to sneak some premium materials on some of the color ways. 👌
I'm curious what is the best breathable basketball shoes . I'm thinking a fission 8 but open to anything you recommend. Thank you
can you review the bball shoes from converse?
Hi Zach, huge fan. I am trying to decide between fission 8, all city 11 v2, lebron nxxt gen or lebron 20. I play outdoors but just 3 hr a week. The thing is that if i went only by score this would take the win for sure, but i really dont really see how this are better than the other more expensive models. For reference i am 6'0, 175 and my favorite shoes are the Son of Flash. Also, having the sof, are this kinda of repeating the same model, given the cusion. Thx so much have a great black friday :)
What do you suggest for long walking and standing all day?
if u have time please review the gh4 too :)
Hey! I have flat and wide feet and would use them outdoors. Would you recommend these or the harden vol 6?
Hi, is ankle support okay or is it better to have shoes with mid cut to avoid ankle roll? Or if u have recomended for good for ankle support. Appreciate your expert advice thanks
Would this be good for volleyball?
Another banger from Way Of Wade. The best performance basketball shoe brand out there.
What kind of insole would you recommend for these?
Would you recommend the Fission 8 over the Son of Flash?
for a semi wide footer can i fit a typical Ankle Brace while staying True to size??? Thanks in advance for answering :)
Would you say these are better than the way of Wade 10’s for indoor basketball?
Would you stay true to size (Jordan equivalent) with orthotic inserts?
which should I pick doc? fission 8 or dame certified? I am a pg and sg
Currently breaking in a pair I went TTS on with an E width foot, reeally wishing I'd gone a .5 size up. Not trying to undermine, just giving some anecdotal experience. FYI Way of Wade will only accept unworn returns with tags.
how is it now? I have the same issue but i went .5 size up
Would you recommend this shoe over the Anta shockwave 5?
Do these run the same length and width as the WOW 10’s?
Did not expect these to perform so well! I think I might want to earn for this especially on how similar it is to WoW10 while still having a really low price. This over the KD14s?
I still have my KD14 XDR version. They are just universal bb shoes and the outsole is very durable.
Are these or the wow 808 3 ultras better for outdoors
can you review the converse bb all-star prototype cx’s
What is better between 808 2 v2 and fission 8 ?
are these shoes friendly for people with high arch feet?
They really need to make shoes with stronger toes guards I keep ripping through them since I be dragging my feet so much
Can you do a freak 4 bounce test
amazing review Zach. how is the mid-foot feels like? is it forgiving for fat mid-feet?
Same tots. Would like to know the mid foot for fat/wide mid-feet
I’m in the same boat with Y’all🙂
I'n having a hard time choosing the Fission 8 between the 808 2 v2, the new 808 3 ultra. I always play outdoor as pg or sg cuz there ain't indoor gym around. Do you guys have any advice, thanks!
doctor! this shoe sizing same all city10??
waiting on that 808 v3 ultra review
There's Fission 8 on sale here so I have to ask are these for heavier players?
Hello Doc. I’ve been watching you for quite a while and buying basketball shoes based on your reviews. Right now i can only buy a pair, which one would you recommend, Wade Fission 8 or Wade All city 11? I am a guard around 79kgs in weight. Thank you.
Love the shoes. My son and I both have them. One minor issue is the topmost inner metal rivet (for the shoelace) keeps bending out, resulting in cutting/slicing the opposite leg (near inside of calf). --- Anybody else experience this?
I’m 5’5, 170lbs(77kg). I can consider myself a short, shifty Asian small guard, but a big guard i think due to my weight( but athletic Build) I love to blow by defenders with fast and nimble footwork, fade aways, fast pull up jumpshots. I’ve have the pg6, anta shockwave 5(reg version). I’m considering to buy a fission 8 in “Latte” colorway, i love brown. Due to my playing style description and my condition, the shoes i got(i’ve been carefully choosing after watching more than 20 times of you review videos). Do you think it’ll suit me? And i also play majority outdoor on tennis court, sometimes concrete. Thanh you, keep making videos man, i’ve at least watched over 15-20 times each of your videos. ❤❤❤
Cop it! 6'1 185lbs here. Great traction and cushioning. Get an insole though.. cheap thicker ones will do
Which shoe is better? Son of flash or fission 8?
Can you review the Nike Fly By Mid 3
DOC! i have such a hard time choosing which one should i buy fisssion 8 or all city 12 im 5.10 a wing i need something fast speedy and really bouncy 🙏 thanks
Which is better? This or PG6?
Do they run true to size?
Can you do a review of Li Ning Yushuai 16 v2 please. It kinda looking fire shoe. Hope you read it 😊
Can u make a vid on the curry flotro 2🙏
Is wade fission 8 better than WOW 10? im planning to buy a WOW 10 or fission 8 for volleyball which is better?
Any recommendations for shoelace replacement? The laces on mine tore on day 1 of use and are now close to ripping entirely after a month of use. Side note: the shoelace tore from the shoe eyelet, not from anything else I'm 99% positive. Used for volleyball only as well.
Foot Doctor Zach! My wife is married to her mizunos for indoor volleyball and she wants to branch out for her next pair. Lateral support, grip and bounce are important to her. Any rec’s!?
I think you may be looking at them- but it ultimately depends on foot shape/ Ailments
can u do a review a new shoe releases from 361 degrees? AG Explode
I got these shoes not too long ago, after watching about 50 of your videos. I have a wide, flat foot. My custom orthitcs fit in this shoe without the shoe feeling stuffed or heel slipping issues. As someone who loves athletics and has foot and knee ailments, THANK YOU!
Thanks for the Superthanks! Glad you found a solid pair for your game
Keep up the good work with these amazing and highly informative reviews. At this point, I won't buy anything til I see your scoring.
Which shoe is better 10 or fission?
Could we get another best outdoor summer baskets shoes video for this year ?
Yep
can you review kyrie 8 unreleased?
I was choosing between Shock the Wave 6 and Fission 8 Latte and I literally follow all Doc's recommendations and went with Fission. Relatively cheaper but the performance is what I am after. Went half a size down for performance with my medium foot. Cant wait to hoop!
is it bouncy like the WOW 10?
It is, Wade 10 is bouncier but if you’re ever bringing it outside fission 8 over Wade 10. If purely inside then Wade 10s. Surprisingly the Wade 10s are lighter too!
i could never cut such a perfect shoe in half 😢 but i get it’s for the video
Do these have a similiar traction in indoors as the 808 and All City, given it is thought for outdoors? Fission 8 is the one I like the most but as it is an "outdoors" shoe and Im going to be playing mostly indoors (rubberized/wood) it makes me think about it twice... Smone help me please
How do you treat your jumpers knee? Having a bad bout of it myself.
Rest rest rest
A question i want to know are they good at playing in dusty courts.
Can you try the War Ender? Austin Reaves' signiture shoe from Rigorer. Always love your reviews doc!
Hey Zach can you write a letter to Way of Wade ( And Ling Ni to be safe ) and tell them to keep this shoe exactly This versions build the EXACT same going forward with future ideas.. Please tell them not to mess up a great performance made basketball shoe... PLEASE ZACH 🙏🙏
Hey Zach which shoe do you think is better for a guard, the fission 8 or the way of wade 10s
Video coming up
@@FootDoctorZach okay thanks
do you think that these are better than the son of flashes?
Should I go True to Size?
Please review fission 8 vs son of flash
Are they good for wide feet if not what would you recommend best for outdoor and wide feet
This is exactly for wide feet
Fission or sof or 808 2?
Quick question. Are these wide or narrow? I’ve read opposite opinions … thanks Doc.
Wide for sure just got mine yesterday they’re awesome
