@TommyLiu4, I would add as well, I can tell KD really wanted to design this shoes for a bit more foot work since he's more reliant on it. The bottom loaded mid-forefoot shank and forefoot zoom really shined through when attempting Eurosteps for me.

I know right 🔥

So I bought a pair 15's after I bought the 16's. After I broke in the 16's, I prefer playing in them. I love full zoom strobel, but sometimes it feels like you're sinking into the shoe when you go to jump vs. once the 16's are broken in, the foam is extremely bouncy and responsive. You have to be patient with these shoes, but they become really fun to play in.

The design of the 16 is very progressive. I held off on the previous model cuz it looked similar to other Nike hoop shoes. Not to mention the materials on the new shoe are nicer. Shoutout to those who got the Aunt Pearls with me 🙏🏽 💕

Didn’t expect it to be that kind of a performer. So what I mean by that is that I’ve just expected it to be really as good as the KD 15 especially traction wise.

i love these got a pair a week ago. awesome traction and support. feels very secure. went half a size up and no problems at all. i don't think you should go a full size up though coz heel slippage will be a sure issue due to smooth heel design.

I played with both the 15 and 16, 4 games per shoes, i can say i gravitated towards the 16, for more stability and lesser heel slippage. The 15 is still a banger though. They both served it's purpose depending on your play style.

Thanks for the review. I played 2 games in KD14’s, I felt I had to tighten them so much to have no heel slippage, to the point where it hurt, the right shoe cut into the front of my ankle and wore a hole in my foot, probably a flaw in that actual shoe, but I couldn’t live with it so I returned them. I really want to love these, maybe I’ll try a pair of 15’s when they come on sale… loving my Zoom freak 5 at the moment though.

@@BobRoss-wm3lc my freak 5s feel dead after a dozen games. Got a pair of 15s and absolutely love them. The trick to fitting the correctly is tying the laces while you have weight/pressure on your heel, no slippage. Perfection. Also got a pair of Jordan 38s which fit like a glove, a little softer and less stable in the heal that the Kds but I love them. Only drama is the delamination of the translucent outsole….
