    Whats underneath the Nike Air Max Impact 4 basketball shoe? Check them out for yourself with this deep dive on court playtest, review, teardown and durability test. As a foot doctor I look at basketball shoes and basketball shoe 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 shoe playtest, and performance review of the Nike Air Max Impact 4
    - The weight, durability, fit and playability
    - What are the features of the insole, midsole, and outsole
    - Nike basketball shoe technology explained

    I've been looking for good volleyball shoes for the past few years. I bought these a couple months ago, and they were perfect for my play style (fair bit of straight up-and-down jumping, lots of lateral movement). You were absolutely spot on with this review. Heel slippage was a minor issue at one point after I broke them in. I changed my lacing to accommodate the change and the lockdown is good again. The traction is amazing, especially on dirty courts where a lot of my teammates tend to slip around. I really wanted something with impact resistance due to consistent knee and achilles pain after a lot of jumping. I haven't had issues since wearing these, so I'm happy to report that they live up to their name.
    One issue I have had, however, is the laces. It's the cheap set that Nike puts on a lot of their lower-priced shoes. They've already frayed/broke/fused/melted at multiple points on one of my shoes. It could be partially due to my play style, but I'm still annoyed I that I need to replace them this early on.

    So glad to see a review from Zach on these, I have worn them for 6 months and they are my favourite shoe of the last few years. Just a really well constructed, basic (not overcomplicated like most shoe designs atm) build shoe that is super comfortable. I use them walking, playing ball, have used them to play tennis. Might try to wear them to the office next 🤣

      @@FootDoctorZachhi doc, I actually went ahead and tried so hard to find a way to measure what my actual size is. I guess I am screwed since apparently I am at least a 12, (11.5 inches length, 12 cm on the width). But at least I got a replacement for 12s. I always just assumed that I am a double D* or something, but apparently it’s more. I should have gone with the Puma Court Rider Chaos hahaha, wanted the Dame certified since you recommended it well for wide feet and had really high scores for a budget shoe (but it was not at sale, all pairs were SRP). Guess I’ll try next time to get a proper size calculation first.
