Best for me but could be better

I got my normal men's size 8 in the KD17's. While they are comfortable and feel like a sock hugging your foot, the fit is small to me. I usually don't have to size up at all. But
probably should have gotten a half size bigger as they fit pretty snug. FYI, I have skinny feet. The material is pretty durable and the soles have an extra layer of comfort. With
that said, I really don't care for the style or color. Though the small Kevin Durant signature on the back is cute. I Still don't love the overall style. But the positive is, they seem
like high quality shoes and will stand the tedt of time as a great running or basketball shoe.

Having recently tested out the Kd 17, I can confidently say that these shoes offer unparalleled traction, especially for indoor basketball play. From the moment I laced them
up and hit the court, I experienced a level of grip that kept me confidently planted with every move. Whether I was executing swift cuts or defending against my opponent's
agile maneuvers, not once did I feel the slightest slip, ensuring I maintained full control of my game.But the Kd 17 isn't just about traction; it's a complete package designed
for the true baller. Beyond its exceptional grip, these shoes provide an extraordinary level of comfort that's essential for enduring intense on-court sessions. Wit...

Overall, this is one of the better Nike basketball shoes I have tried in recent history. The fit of the shoe is true to size but a little narrow in my opinion. The material will stretch to your foot a bit if your foot is a little wider, but the cage over the knit material does limit that a bit. The shoes feel phenomenal as most KD shoes do. Very good support, good cushion, but also the right amount of support. They’re a perfect indoor or outdoor basketball shoe. While the shoe is more of a “low top” basketball shoe, it feels a bit higher than some previous low top models. Personally, this was nice because it provides extra stability in the ankle without sacrificing flexibility and agility. The fabric and cage construction does a good job of keeping your foot ...

Personally, this was nice because it provides extra stability in the ankle without sacrificing flexibility and agility. The fabric and cage construction does a good job of keeping your foot contained within the shoe and over the sole, especially when planting. For the most part the shoe has been used in an indoor gym setting, but when outside it has held up well. Over time, the knit material on the toe could wear if predominantly used outside. Compared to previous KD models, I really like the higher support in this shoe. It would have been a good addition for a more durable toe covering material in my opinion.

A lot times I feel like basketball shoes aren't a true to size fit for me, but this was not the case for these. They are snug enough to run around in without slipping but not too tight on my wider foot to cause discomfort. I really love the design of these. I'm a fan of the Air Penny's which these pay homage too with the cracked swoosh and the Orlando Magic color way. On top of this, I really enjoy the side profile of the shoe in general. I think that it's just really slick. In terms of the fabric it's nice and breathable/lightweight while also still managing to feel durable. The rubber on the bottom is also really nice for not slipping around. I think that overall this is a great shoe with it's amazing color/design being my favorite. If I could change anything ...

If I could change anything about the shoe I would probably just add a little bit more cushion to the heel!

The KD17 is an all around great shoe! I was really impressed with the comfort and fit of this model. Wore it around casually and even played a game or 2 of basketball with them and both didn't disappoint. The KD17 feels very durable and sturdy. It has a really good grip and materials are perfect! The height of the shoe is my favorite part as it is not to high like most high top basketball shoes but not to low like a low top shoe, giving me a good ankle support. Will definitely look into getting another pair of the KD17 and will ups recommend this model to anyone in need of a good basketball shoe.

For the period time that I have worn these on the court practicing and playing basketball, I found that these KD’s are really comfortable and ensures my feet feel secured. The responsiveness I’ve experienced while wearing these have been really nice in my heel. The sock line of these feel very comfortable with wearing longer socks. I do like the color blocking of these, I think it would be nicer if these came with either black or blue socks… just because I like more color on my shoes than others. They look very cool in my opinion and the design is nice! I’m not sure how others would feel about wearing these off the court, but I do like how they look with sweats.

Already having a pair of the KD15s (underrated), I was excited to get a pair of the 17s after seeing a mock design of it last year. It definitely gives off Air Max vibes from the design, specifically the plastic components on the sides of the sneaker. Material on the upper seems pretty similar to the 15s and appears to be durable enough. Not much of a fan of the Penny color-way though. The simple blue and white gives off the impression that it is a Team (budget) version of the shoe.As for fit and comfort my feet were definitely secure with ample space in the toe box. Heel slippage was almost nonexistent while moving and cutting which is a must for me. Traction from the design of the sole is good for the indoor courts I play on.

One complaint though is the change in Zoom cushioning (which is still ok) in the heel between the 15 and 17, which I think started with the 16. If it was consistent the front, this would elevate this shoe to a 5.

The KD17 did not disappoint my tween athlete. When they arrived, my son was immediately thrilled to try them on. After slipping them on, he said the fit was what he was hoping for, since some of his other basketball shoes have run smaller previously. The color way is perfect as it is his school colors and the use of multiple fabrics gives the shoe so much dimension. He states that they are extremely comfortable with a lot of ankle support since he has narrow feet. He felt fully supported when jumping and going for lay ups, which other brands have lacked in the past for him. After a week of daily wear, I asked if he had any complaints and his only criticism is that the laces are more flat which come untied more easily than the round thicker kind. These shoes have ...

These shoes have become a favorite of his, and are perfect on the court and for a casual outdoor game.

The KD17 takes inspiration from the Air Max Plus, which is what makes this basketball shoe one of the most attractive pairs in my current collection. It did not take much court time before the TPU overlays started to break in, while the mesh upper was very breathable and forgiving during gameplay. The translucent outsole pattern provides excellent traction on both indoor and outdoor courts, though I'd highly suggest sticking to indoor courts for more durability over time. My explosive playing style requires a shoe that can provide enough cushion and support, and this shoe does just that. While I am more used to the traditional low top shoe for hooping, the ankle collar on this particular shoe does not feel restrictive to the point where it compromises my lateral ...
