I’m gonna tell y’all about my time trying out the KD 6 shoes, alright? So, I got these bad boys a while back. I saw them, and I was like, “Damn, I gotta get me a pair of those.”
First thing I did was, obviously, I bought them. Took a bit to get here, but no biggie. When they arrived, I unboxed them and I slipped my feet in. The feeling, man, it was kinda weird at first. These shoes, they’re built differently. They got this ultra-thin upper, whatever that means. It felt, like, super light on my feet, which was cool, but also kinda made me think, “Are these gonna last?”
Now, I ain’t no professional baller or nothin’, but I do like to shoot some hoops from time to time. So, I took these to the court. A plastic court, outdoors. First thing I noticed, the grip was crazy good. I mean, I was cutting, running, and stopping on a dime. Usually, with other shoes, after a few games on these kinds of courts, the bottom starts to wear out. But with the KD 6, nah, they held up real well.
But it wasn’t all sunshine and rainbows, ya know? These shoes, they didn’t fit like a glove. There’s something called “Flywire technology” in them. Sounds fancy, right? Well, it’s supposed to make the shoe lightweight, and yeah, it does, but it didn’t hug my foot like I wanted it to. It felt a bit loose, and I like my shoes snug.
- Trying them on: Felt weird at first due to the ultra-thin upper.
- Hitting the court: Traction was great on the plastic court.
- Fit issue: Didn’t hug the foot well because of the Flywire tech.
Then there’s the cleaning part. I got this orange pair, and they’re made of some stuff called PU and TPU. Fancy names for plastic, I guess. Anyway, when they got dirty, and believe me, they did, it was a breeze to clean them. Just a quick wipe, and they looked good as new. I heard that if you get the ones made of fabric or leather, it’s a whole different story. Stains and stuff, man, they’re a pain.
All in all
The KD 6, they’re a mixed bag. Good grip, light on the feet, easy to clean, but the fit? That could be better. Would I buy them again? Maybe. I mean, they did make me feel like a mini-MVP out there, even if it was just in my head. But hey, if you’re looking for something different, give ’em a shot. Just watch out for that fit, alright?
