    There were some reports of react foam being used in prototypes of the KD 15 however the final product being released is Cushlon - just some clarification

      5:50 You have a sense of humor. 😆
      I still have to wait until the end of the month for these to release in the USA, but you're input will go A LONG WAY towards my potential purchase.
      Thank you, Zach!! 😎👍👟👟

      @@channingbanks5786 the kd 15s are are one of the best shoes in 2022 and so are the pg 6s but in my personal opinion the kd 15s are better because the traction bites harder and also the kd 15s dont pick up as much dust as the pg 6s and the cushion on the kd 15 is insane and is much better than the pg 6s cushioning so overall in my opinion the kd 15 is better than the pg 6s but everything I just said is my personal opinion and I am not a professional so if I did hurt your feelings by saying something you might disagree on I am sorry

    If you experience any problems with the KD15 such as Heel Slippage.
    Downsize them by half.
    I normally wear a Size 10 - (Mb.01 - All Kyries - PG6 - PG5)
    So, I ordered a size10 on KD15 since it recommended getting TTS, but after a week of playing, there was lots of Heel Slippage.
    So, I exchange them for a Size 9.5. At first, it was super tight, but after breaking them down for 1 week of playing, they actually expand, and it's much more comfortable.
    For the traction and cushion, this is actually the real deal.
    If I can compare it to any shoes
    Traction is like - KD9 or KD 14
    The cushion is like PG 4

    • @conpeeya7645
      @conpeeya7645 Год назад

      Hello, how about the toe box? Is it wide foot friendly? I am normally size 10 if i wear thick socks will it compensate the heel slippage after a week? Im afraid of downsizing for 9.5 because it might not fit. Thanks.
