Nike KD 12

[khdang178]

I've tried them on at DSG today. It was surprising that they fit true to size. In past KD models, I always had to go up half a size.

Played at a super dusty gym today, have to say the traction wasn’t as bullet proof as my Kobe 1 Protros. Hopefully it gets better with break in.

How’s the cushion and fit?

reminds me of the original hyperrev

How’s the cushion and fit?

Fit is TTS for me, after going half size down on 9 and 10.

You FEEL the bounce. However, speaking for pure impact protection, the forefoot feels closer to the ground and less cushioned, probably because the zoom bag is usually already compressed. The heel is as good as previous models, which is perfect for a heel striker like me.

^shoot, that means i'll def have to go 1/2 size up. Thank you for the info!!

I tried on half size up and I don’t know if they were too big or not

It’s that dumb strip on the toe

same, TTS fit me well but had to go 1/2 down on the 10s

 

[jaynev]

Just tried on as well.
TTS was fine length wise, it was where the tongue went from open to sewn in which gave me tightness. Although, you do need your foot contained, and this tightness wasn't total discomfort.
Cushion was awesome feeling. Would love to try these on court.

so do these have more support than the 11's?

 

[PKilroy5]

My true size is 12.5, hard to come by so I went up .5 to a 13 and they feel great!

Tried my true 9.5 (PG3 and LeBron 15 low most recent) at DSG and would have to go to 10. That felt more comfortable and may try the 90s in those. Just worried about the soles/traction given a few steps in store that resulted in this:

(Also, the tab on the tongue is comically cheap)

Does the height of the mid cut bother you guys? I'm interested in the sneaker but havent balled in mids since 2012 hyperdunks.

They definitely collect a lot of dust but even with dust it didn’t seem to hurt performance. Didn’t slip once and didn’t wipe once. Only played in them once tho.

 

[suchafraud23]

I agree with these do feel like a Low.

So weird


Even wondered if they’ll make a low version later down the road

I played in them two separate days. The first day the traction was decent but they got better by the second day. The zoom is like running on pillows. However, they feel a little wobbly when i try to set my feet for a jumpshot off a stepback.

 

[jaynev]

Felt good

 

[montemex23]

Nike’s getting lazy with basic black and white cw of both these and Kyrie 5 and pg3 .

No bueno for weak ankles then?

I’ve stayed away from the last 3 or 4 KDs cause of stability

 

[dmoore914]

I think the combination of how narrow they are and the articulated zoom makes them kinda unstable.
