OFFICIAL: NIKE ZOOM KD IV THREAD: Galaxy Returning

Ugh. Looks like I'll just have to be happy with my Coppers so far. Waiting for ASGs, green/orange, and IDs.

They hurt my feet in 3 different sizes (I'm normally an 11.5, but have tried 11s, 11.5, and 12s, and settled on 12s), have poor traction on an avg indoor court, worse heel cushioning than the III, and don't seem to be durable (top inner lace holes giving way after only 2 weeks of balling).  I'm 6'2", 170lbs, with normal/narrow feet.

Sad to see the line headed in this hype-over-performance direction.  Hopefully the KD V emphasizes performance over hype.


Agreed, the grip is subpar and the zoom is nowhere near as responsive as the KD III. I was very disappointed because I thought they would perform better than the III. I think the heel setup on the IV is phylon instead of cushlon. I believe this brought the weight down, and the shoe is definitely lighter but at what cost? All this being said if you play on a court where you can get grip the KD IV sole performs well when you need to cut or change direction which is the only upside I could find on this shoe. It sucks because before I hooped my pair I was anticipating purchasing 4 plus pairs but now I'm pretty much done with the shoe. I think it's the best looking hoop shoe Nike released this year and if it performed as expected it would easily surpass the Kobe and Lebron lines. Oh Well.
