I haven't been crazy about the KD line until now, Nike has done it. Im in for multiple pairs, assuming they don't fit like crap like the 8 did. His shoes have been extremely stiff around the ankles, and just have no flexibility or give like a basketball shoe should.

I think this model is a step in the right direction. I think the 8 is just a air max with kd branding. I will have my 150 come 6 20. Hope it ain't limited. I see a similar pair with blue under it is releasing at the same time.

Shoe looks dope and promising. I'm not expecting a great hoop shoe, cuz its a KD. But i hope I'm wrong.

yall must have forgotten but the KD2s were some of the most comfortable ball shoes ever, the one redeeming shoe in the whole line imo. These look to be great as well.

^I really think the V (non-elite version) is one of the most well-rounded hoop shoes out as well

I wasn't feeling the honeycomb pattern but they look really nice in the couple of practice pics I saw. I defintely want the USAs.

Wish the USA colorway had more color because that flyknits material is gonna turn loss yelloweventually
Maybe he'll wear them in the playoffs.
Nonetheless I'm all in on this model.
KD8 is/was a dope sneaker with cool colorways but that price tag especially with him coming off an injury plagued year where he was forgotten about quick was a bad decision.

Are you saying that because the tounge/upper is all one piece?

These will be my first KD's. I really like the black with the clear soles. From watching the video of KD getting interviewed about the shoe, it appears the Zoom air will be super responsive. I hope these don't sell out super fast come 6/20..

This is def true ... 5 was a really good shoe on court. It just sucked for casual appeal.
Which is why a lot of basketball models get slammed cuz the perception is to be worn casually (Jordans 1-14).

looks 100% more like the toebox of a roshe flyknit with any number of one piece upper basketball shoes (where the tounge is attached).

i LOVE the 5. People just didn't like them because you couldn't rock them off the court...couldn't even really do it with an athletic type outfit. The 8s are just as good, but worse casually lol...I mean maybe the 8s with some jogger/track pants but off the court the 5 and 8 don't get much love. Performance wise they are GREAT.
