After 2 runs I'm stll not sure how I feel about the kd iv's...took about 4 games to really break in the shoe.The shoe is extremely rigid which is a good thing when cutting.More than any other kd,the iv really feels like a low top.The adaptive fit strap does a great job locking the middle of the foot in place.traction on an unswept court was naturally bad but constant wiping made the traction manageable.On a swept court,traction was very good.The fuse upper is a bit on the stiff side on initial wears but the seamless fit and breathability make up for the slight narrowness and initial stiffness.Cushioning seemed to get better as some of the midsole stiffness subsided.Based on comparisons versus the previous shoes in the line,the iv really feels like the line went in another direction.Comparing this shoe versus previous models isnt a good starting point.More to comeHttp://www.undsed.tumblr.com
