Your thoughts on the KD 16?? 🟢 Lateral Containment, Forefoot Cushion & Dust Pick Up (Solid Rubber) 🔴 Fit for Wide Feet, Heel Lockdown Thank you for watching!!
@TommyLiu4, I would add as well, I can tell KD really wanted to design this shoes for a bit more foot work since he's more reliant on it. The bottom loaded mid-forefoot shank and forefoot zoom really shined through when attempting Eurosteps for me.
So I bought a pair 15's after I bought the 16's. After I broke in the 16's, I prefer playing in them. I love full zoom strobel, but sometimes it feels like you're sinking into the shoe when you go to jump vs. once the 16's are broken in, the foam is extremely bouncy and responsive. You have to be patient with these shoes, but they become really fun to play in.
The design of the 16 is very progressive. I held off on the previous model cuz it looked similar to other Nike hoop shoes. Not to mention the materials on the new shoe are nicer. Shoutout to those who got the Aunt Pearls with me 🙏🏽 💕
i love these got a pair a week ago. awesome traction and support. feels very secure. went half a size up and no problems at all. i don't think you should go a full size up though coz heel slippage will be a sure issue due to smooth heel design.
@@BobRoss-wm3lc no problems. Atm, im switching between kd 16 and wow 808 v3. Playing more with kd 16. I have the board room edition, so not the translucent traction. Its really good. Keeps getting better the more times you use it.
Didn’t expect it to be that kind of a performer. So what I mean by that is that I’ve just expected it to be really as good as the KD 15 especially traction wise.
Yeah that’s why I got the Lebron NXXT Gens. They have amazing lockdown and traction. They are very comfortable too. I’ll suggest going up a half or full size tho. I got three pairs too!🔥🔥🔥
@@pokefighterplayz6262 Hey. For me personally they’re about the same - that’s just my experience. To pick one I think the solid rubber outsole is the safer choice.
i won’t be buying any kd16 until 🔥 colorway. the new tech isn’t bad in any means but i feel like it’s a slight downgrade from the kd15. the air unit in the heel isn’t bad but isn’t better than full length zoom either 🤷♂️
I played with both the 15 and 16, 4 games per shoes, i can say i gravitated towards the 16, for more stability and lesser heel slippage. The 15 is still a banger though. They both served it's purpose depending on your play style.
Hi Tommy, could you advise the higher of the ground shoes? I mean a very good impact protection shoes, especially in the forefoot, kind of the best right now in your opinion? I've played in bb nxt and lebron 15.. tried to play in zoom freak 4 and 5 but send them back..😅
@TommyLiu4 Thank you, Tommy ! I've tried Lebron, and I wasn't impressed 😕 but will give them a chance 😅 Gt jumps feel a little bit unstable for me. I'm playing volleyball... Anyway, thank you very much for your advice ! :) 💪
Not related to the KD16 but what r ur fav shoes to play in? I have wider feet and they’re flat which causes overpronation, I love my LeBron nxxt gen and KD14 rn. Gonna cop the ASICS nova surge low, u think there’s a better shoe to get or no? Cant rlly do li Ning cuz I’m 11-11.5, li Ning sizing is gonna be weird for me
How does kd 16 sizing compare to WOW 10 lows? I got the KD16 aunt pearls in 9, but I went half size up because it was too tight. Should I get size 9 for wow 10 lows too?
Thanks for the review. I played 2 games in KD14’s, I felt I had to tighten them so much to have no heel slippage, to the point where it hurt, the right shoe cut into the front of my ankle and wore a hole in my foot, probably a flaw in that actual shoe, but I couldn’t live with it so I returned them. I really want to love these, maybe I’ll try a pair of 15’s when they come on sale… loving my Zoom freak 5 at the moment though.
My toe was almost blowing out the front. I just picked up some 15s and they're beautiful. I have no slippage at all like a lot pf people complain about in them. @@DaneIbsen
@@BobRoss-wm3lc my freak 5s feel dead after a dozen games. Got a pair of 15s and absolutely love them. The trick to fitting the correctly is tying the laces while you have weight/pressure on your heel, no slippage. Perfection. Also got a pair of Jordan 38s which fit like a glove, a little softer and less stable in the heal that the Kds but I love them. Only drama is the delamination of the translucent outsole….
Hey tommy I think we have similar foot shape but the thing is I can't get the size 10.5 the 10 is the only available I can get,so my question is do you think I can get away with size 10? or they would be so snug that I might kill my toes?😂 have you triednthe size 10? if you do can you tell how to they feel on foot
Hi. No do not go with the size 10, sizing down would be too snug and uncomfortable I’m pretty sure. If 10.5 is your true size or normal size you can even go to 11.
For myself I find with Nike’s shoes that fit so snug I get better heel lockdown half size up. I think that’s because I can pull the laces tighter without making the mid foot too tight
@@TommyLiu4 What i want on my shoe mostly is that it has great traction even on dusty courts, also have good durability, great impact protection and bounce, and support. Do you think kd 16 will do most compare to the nxxt gens?
