I def felt better buying from them when they extended it. I still gotta give the nod to Hoka One One. 30 days, but I've swapped shoes that went through muddy runs no questions asked
@@autoboxesw2622 yeah it looks like Nike is doing something similar now. I just remember being so impressed because I spent a couple weeks trying to make my first pair work...and they were just a bit big. Swapped em out after a few weeks, found my size with them, kept coming back for my running shoes. Props to Nike and Hoka for that.
Hey Guys! We interrupt your regular viewing pleasure to bring you this detailed look and review on these potential bad boys, the Nike KD 14. We hope you like it. Thanks for watching!
The strap is a nod to kd’s nickname the “slim reaper” and it is in the shape of a scythe. The outsole is also a nod to his nickname which makes a skull shape when you put the two shoes together. I got this info from the shoes description on Nike
I'm really liking how the Kd 14's look. They remind of the Kd 2, 4, and 7. Hopefully, the 14 will rejuvenate the Kd line aesthetically with nicer colorways. Also remember when Cushion was rarely used for Basketball? LeBron 9 Elite and Kobe 7 anyone? Happy to see Cushlon make a full-pledged come back.
@@shivjeetparthasarathy4377 they kinda fell off after the 7. The 9 was a good performer, but didn't really work off-court, same goes for the 8, 10 and beyond. The 14 seems to be trying to recapture the former glory of Kd's (Off-Court Wise). Kd's have always been good performers. (Except the 10 and 11, in recent memory).
In these times of pandemic wherein we mostly cannot go out and try the shoes in person, online shopping has been up and same goes with sneakers. These guys like Nightwing, sole brothers or any shoe reviewer around makes me appreciate them even more than ever, I thank them for making things easier for us and letting us know everything on what to expect on a shoe when we weren't sure enough when buying online, things like the materials, sizing and etc that we wanted to know in person, they'll let us know! And I have been an og fan and I absolutely trust them for the incredible reviews since then, especially before purchasing my desired sneaker. Much love!
I have been a discord member for a little while now and what you say is absolutely correct. Great outlet for people that simply want to share things in a genuine way.
I actually like these as far as looks. The strap the way it's shaped and the milky white color is really nice. They look elegant and I see men and women wearing these. KD shoes are very underrated. Great to play in. Those Jordan Cherry 12s in the background are driving me crazy. Hope they release those before too long. I appreciate both of you and your hard work and I'm sure that it's not easy running your channel but it's paying off. I bet the kids are growing like crazy.
I love to play in Jordan’s, especially my 10s but man these recent KD models are looking oh sooooo good. Especially the grip patterns and the cushioning 🤤
Loved the outtakes. You both have done such a killer job building the videos to something fun and unique. Also, I’ve never held my breath before, hoping to see my name as the winner of the Discord prize hahaha. The carmines continue to elude me.
I feel like you really enjoy your job! Well i wana say i enjoy watching it! Thank you for guiding me to buy my first pair of shoes pg4 now i just bought the kd 13s and thats because of your review not gonna lie your review is really good!
One thing I 100% agree is the first impression to me was like the KD7!! Which was my fav KD! I have like 5 pairs of 7s. My 14 is gonna arrive next week, can’t wait to try them on the court.
I really hope they retro the KD7. For me, the KD7s and 10s are his best looking shoe. That being said, the KD14s are simply beautiful. I love the upper because it's unique. They stand out.
These are sweet! I use work at footlocker back in the early 2000s, man if we had these!!! I would’ve snatched my size quick straight off the truck🤣 Great review
They look much better on foot than they do in the pictures. They should've left in the extra forefoot zoom, but it's still an awesome shoe. Ive been hoopin' outside in mine and no issues with durability so far...rubber court though. KDs line has been the best since the KD12. This shoe will keep that trend goin'.
Hey man! Hope all is good there with you and the family. My personal opinion is the KD14 reminds me of the KD4 rather than the KD7... It kinda saddens me seeing shoe design regressing rather than progressing. Although I like the Greater Than series of shoes. Chinese brands are up to par with Western brands nowadays. Hoping to see more reviews of those shoes (Chinese brands). More success to you from here in the Philippines!!!
This morning me and my gf tried to get the Jordan 1 Hyper Royal for his cousin birthday and obviously both got and F so decided to go to the nike store that's in my city to go check something else and they had the 6 carmine on my size. Wasn't expecting to find them 2 months after release and I've been smiling all day. Then decided to check the KD 14 video and you giveaway a pair of carmines to a discord member, what a coincidence. Now, talking about the KD 14, I don't like that color combination. It reminds me of some kind of animal print. Guess on other color they look better.
The 60 day return policy at Nike been clutch during the pandemic. I spent about 2 grand over the past couple months on their stuff. The last KDs I bought actually were the Christmas KD 7s lmao. Idk how it’s been that long
No basketball shoes last when you play outside anymore. I’ve killed jubilees, starfish 13’s, like 3 pairs of lebron 17’s. Wore the 17’s to the point the outsole was completely worn down until the zoom units popped. Tough out here.
Nice video, I've heard that this has been called the "leopard" colorway. I like the silhouette of the shoe and the strap, just not sold on the colorway, yet. Looks like I may have to invest in a pair. Thanks for another great video.
I hope you can keep up the sentence or two to let us know if the shoe can be used outdoors. A lot of us play outdoors only and don’t have gyms like in the US
I’m glad the people in the comments aren’t complete hypebeast and seemingly gave it a fair opinion. Saw mad people on Twitter just say it was ugly and dismissed it. Might have to join that community dawg cus I’m tired of seeing the same hyper 5 Jordan’s on my feed 😂 Although it doesn’t look great, it actually looks like a good ball shoe.
Yea the Nike return policy is aiiite but u still have to pay for the new shipping of them back to Nike everytime. Also like u said, shoe companies seem to be killing the retail game as I am not even able to find a size 13 of the Jordan 35s or Curry 8s to try on at any local stores in Orlando! This suxxx as my Lebron 16 lows just popped and I need something new. I’d much rather get some Antas or Ali Nings as they have surpassed all American shoe brands in aesthetics, but still have yet to offer anything above size 11 :( BIG SAD 😔
If I wear an orthotic insole and replace the insole in these shoes with my orthotic, will it still work, or will the zoom stroble not mold to my orthotic well?
I was curious if I'd be able to remove the insoles on these because they felt glued down and I didn't want to ruin them. This video showed clear footage of the inside with the insole removed. There is a little glue around the edges but its not a ton. Im sure it helped that I removed them when the shoe was unworn and new. I hope this helps the next reader. Thank you
It’s best to remove them when they’re brand new before your foot heats the glue up. But if you’re trying to remove and it’s difficult you can use a hairdryer on low heat to loosen the glue up a bit and it should come out.
Nike's return policy is actually 60-days now, not just 30. And I agree 100%, it is THE BEST product return policy ever.
Even after 60 days, you can still return items if they’re unworn and unwashed.
THE best!
I def felt better buying from them when they extended it.
I still gotta give the nod to Hoka One One. 30 days, but I've swapped shoes that went through muddy runs no questions asked
@@krcjayhawks they even accepted used shoes?
@@autoboxesw2622 yeah it looks like Nike is doing something similar now. I just remember being so impressed because I spent a couple weeks trying to make my first pair work...and they were just a bit big. Swapped em out after a few weeks, found my size with them, kept coming back for my running shoes. Props to Nike and Hoka for that.
nah... amazon has a 90 day return policy on its refurbished program. that's even better
I saw a quote from KD confirming that the strap is a nod to the Slim Reaper nickname.
That's so fucking lit 🔥🔥🔥🔥🚒🔥
Hey Guys! We interrupt your regular viewing pleasure to bring you this detailed look and review on these potential bad boys, the Nike KD 14. We hope you like it. Thanks for watching!
To help with the insole just wear them casually for about three days.
The strap is a nod to kd’s nickname the “slim reaper” and it is in the shape of a scythe. The outsole is also a nod to his nickname which makes a skull shape when you put the two shoes together. I got this info from the shoes description on Nike
Where’s the snake 🐍 part of the shoe?
it doesnt even make sense how excited i am for these
Yes
Courts need to open soon my bad boys list is growing. I can’t wait to try them
Agree, my right love handle and my left love handle are my bad boys
I'm really liking how the Kd 14's look. They remind of the Kd 2, 4, and 7. Hopefully, the 14 will rejuvenate the Kd line aesthetically with nicer colorways.

Agree completely! I never really liked the direction the new KDs have taken (basketball shoes in general)
@@shivjeetparthasarathy4377 they kinda fell off after the 7. The 9 was a good performer, but didn't really work off-court, same goes for the 8, 10 and beyond.

@@therealmarcc.2529 really? KD13’s work great for me casually. People compliment it, it kinda has that retro/modern look to it
@@khoile1739 It's just my opinion. If the Kd 13's worked for you casually, then great. Good for you.
I also heard the 10s were good
Mrs Nightwings’ editing is on POINT😂🙌
Just a tad bit extra on the transitions. Just a hair extra

same brodie, what’s the best way to find out when they release? like follow KD on ig or what
@@nikolabarra8798 idk I usually just google the shoe colorways to see when they come out
@@nikolabarra8798 just use the snkrs app

Hella presto vibes with that cage. I like it 👌🏽
BRO I was literally thinking the same thing
Late night upload and I'm here for it!
You can honestly tell by the way he opens the lid and sees the shoe if the shoe is a bad boy 😂
I was waiting for this video all morning. My morning routine just isn’t the same
These honestly look better than the 11, 12, and 13s for me. And I believe you were thinking about Scythe as the weapon of choice for the Grim Reaper.
These are sweet! I use work at footlocker back in the early 2000s, man if we had these!!! I would’ve snatched my size quick straight off the truck🤣 Great review
You guys are the best. 👑
😀

Ive been hoopin' outside in mine and no issues with durability so far...rubber court though. KDs line has been the best since the KD12. This shoe will keep that trend goin'.
For me, I never had any problems with blisters when I was breaking in the insoles in my KD13s.
notis!!! ive been waiting for this since i saw them drop on the nike app lol
Maybe its because I'm kinda out of the sneaker game now, but it feels like I was watching the KD 12 first impressions a month ago
That Tim Allen clip 😆. Home Improvement was my jam
The object you were thinking of is the scythe of the reaper!!
Feel you on the courts. None of the courts on post at ft Bragg have opened either, just the outdoor ones 🙄

Yeah that upper design is something else... can't wait for another design or color...
Nice the KD 14 in the "Fancy Panty" color way.
never clicked on a video so fast before. hope to see a review on the GT cuts soon!

Man i really wish it didnt have the strap. I loved the 12 & 13 and everythibg about these besides the strap 😕
I joined the gold tesm last month im excited
striaght up kd 9-12 give me blisters.....toe box and the heels i cant explain why this is you did a nice explanation
Can’t wait to see the options these get on NIKE BY YOU!
its nice but the price would be high af and the royal blue version is fire
The 60 day return policy at Nike been clutch during the pandemic. I spent about 2 grand over the past couple months on their stuff.
The last KDs I bought actually were the Christmas KD 7s lmao. Idk how it’s been that long
The KD 14 feels great on the court. Loving it
Did you go true to size ?
looks like a reimagined Kyrie 2, which was awesome
I look forward to making a Dior colorway in these when they drop on "Nike By You"
Yes I went true to size...the more I play in them the better they feel
Got the KD12's, passed on the 13's and will pass on this one as well. Nice looking shoe though. 🔥
Once again, great video guys. Keep it up.
Kd 4 will always be Kevin durants greatest sneaker
@@billyellis4149 for some reason I can’t get into kds without the straps only ones I liked without them was the 5s
The heel cup and strap give me kyrie vibes, but man they look good…still would buy a pair of kd12 in 2021 tho
Should put that weather man colorway on those
incredible video guys
No basketball shoes last when you play outside anymore. I’ve killed jubilees, starfish 13’s, like 3 pairs of lebron 17’s. Wore the 17’s to the point the outsole was completely worn down until the zoom units popped. Tough out here.

i don't know why, i like it a lot like i want it now!!!! i just ordered it while i'm watching this video.
I feel like there will be some awesome color ways for the way this model is set up!
These would look good in better CWs. Can't wait for other CW to be released.
The medial side of the strap reminds me of the Nike presto
I think the aunt pearl color way could be dope tbh if they make it
The medial side of the strap makes me think of the Nike Presto
I hope the aunt pearl colorway for these is as good as the KD12 one was, because that one was better than the 13's in my opinion.
Kd 7s were entirely dope, they are still among my favourite looking shoes, the 14s, are definitely not
"Looks like a kids shoe" - Sammy
And Jramon
I just realized you're standing on the table for some of the shots
i reallly couldnt decide if i shoulkd get those or the kyrie 7, i ordered those and the comment section tells me i was right and im hella excited
Those released in HK got a XDR (extra-durable-rubber; supposedly a gimmick for sneakers here) outsole.
I hope you can keep up the sentence or two to let us know if the shoe can be used outdoors. A lot of us play outdoors only and don’t have gyms like in the US
I'll wait for the 6 million colors that will come
The thing the reaper holds is a scythe
I’m glad the people in the comments aren’t complete hypebeast and seemingly gave it a fair opinion. Saw mad people on Twitter just say it was ugly and dismissed it. Might have to join that community dawg cus I’m tired of seeing the same hyper 5 Jordan’s on my feed 😂
Although it doesn’t look great, it actually looks like a good ball shoe.
I actually like the design of the upper.
That heel portion reminds me of the kyrie 6's
I love the way the kd 7 looked but it didn’t match my foot. For some reason I would wear them and my feet would go numb. No matter what size I bought
Reminds of the KD2 shape, and KD4 or KD 7 strap
Old style KDs with newest tech!
haha u guys are so fun to watch! very informative too!
Kyrie's + PG's is what they remind me of
Remind me of the Emerald Air Diamond Turf's
Nice video! In Nightwing we trust. :-)
Actually went TTS on all my KD's even the KD14, surprised actually
Grim Reaper carries a Scythe 😂
waiting for performance review outdoor
These are dope! Great review
Same for me. The upper is not moving the needle. No colorway so far does move it.
The strap is a nod to the air presto
Maybe its just me, but I see air tech challenge II in the silhouette from the rear quarter and side view.
Came for the initial thoughts. I stayed for the cross stitch puns!!! 🤣🤣🤓🌶
I actually like the upper design but to reach their own
Haven’t had ah pair of kdz since kd6z 7z n kd 8z aunt pearl
My bday June 10th thats cool Chris and I got The same bday month
I tried these going a half size up. Turns out, I need a full size up with these.
A scythe, that’s what Death holds when it picks up souls. 👍🏽
I guess you mean the SCYTHE the one that the reaper holds? Same with Scare crow
I like these kinda. But won't wear them off the court
Them Kyrie 14 fye 🔥🔥

We’ve never paid for shipping on a return.
@@WearTesters Oh! Seems you’re right. Nike agent just told me about free return labels so imma start testing out new ones soon, thanks
They got a presto strap look to them.
That strap really remind me of KD4

Bruh I remember when everyone wore kds and lebrons smh that was the good life
