ENDLESS ENERGY. Kevin Durant always looks relaxed—until he attacks. His game is reserved yet explosive, difficult to guard and impossible to stop. The KD12 was built for his dominance and endless energy all game long with the latest innovation in Nike Zoom Air technology. Ultra-Responsive Cushioning Full-length Nike Zoom Air cushioning is articulated to follow the shape of your foot, providing a great heel-to-toe transition. For the first time ever in a signature shoe, it’s stitched directly to the upper instead of being set into foam, so it responds to your force. An additional Zoom Air unit stacked in the heel gives you extra bounce on court. On-Demand Lockdown 4-way directional Flywire cables provide targeted stability and on-the-fly lockdown. They relax when you’re not in motion, but when you need them to perform they deliver. Broken-In Comfort Lightweight, multilayer mesh uses minimal backing material for less stiffness and a broken-in feel. Lightweight Flexibility A perforated midsole helps keep the foam very flexible while helping to reduce overall weight and giving visibility to the cushioning within. More Benefits A sockliner insert sits over the Nike Zoom Air cushioning, adding a thin layer to help smooth the feel without compromising the performance. A Flyknit constructed tongue covers your top foot in comfort, adding loft for a plush, padded feel. Perforated padding around the 3/4-high collar hugs your ankle for a snug fit. A rubber outsole offers excellent traction. A textile and synthetic upper hugs your foot.

I research basketball shoes before I purchase them, usually 2-3 months in advance. It is a big investment to find the right basketball shoe that offers comfort, support, traction, durability, lockdown, premium materials, lightweight and full length cushioning to boot! The shoe is true to size and very comfortable. There is no break-in time, just put it on and hit the courts. The full length zoom and the ankle support eliminated my need to wear ankle wraps. I actually use these shoes for volleyball now because they offer that added support, cushioning and bounce in my jumps. These shoes were so nice, I am glad I picked up 3 pairs. I plan on picking up another pair of KD12s, before the KD13s arrive this summer.

What an amazing basketball performance shoe! I've tried a lot of Nike basketball shoes and this is by far the best! It's low to the ground and not clunky like last year's model. I don't notice I am wearing a shoe. The traction is amazing it bites hard! Even for a translucent, rubber, it is hard and the groves are deep, and so far holding up great! The full length zoom is amazing as always, however I wish they would have used React foam or Cushlon instead of Phylon. To me it is a step back from last year, since last years model had react and full length zoom witch was more comfortable. However no strubble board is amazing and makes up a little for this! Nike you need to do this for all your full length zoom shoes! The lockdown is amazing in these too! The multi ... MoreWhat an amazing basketball performance shoe!

Idk why they went away from Flyknit other than they wanted you to see the new flywire system. The laces are nice and man can you get them tied down hard for great lockdown. Only thing is they are narrow, but I've got those kd feet anyways. I wear a 13.5 and it's perfect true to size. If you have wide feet maybe stay away or go try them on first! Nike you keep getting better and that's what separates you from your competition! Checks over strips! Lol

So this review unfortunately is not about the actual sneaker, but Dicks online service. I bought these shoes for my sons 13th birthday and wrapped them straight from the shipping box. When he opened them, they were covered on the inside with black pet fur!!! He was disgusted. I was mortified. When products are returned to the warehouse they should be checked before restocked!

I am 5'11" and 215 lbs and live very active lifestyle. My workout includes running and basketball. These shoes are great for anything. For me, these shoes fit true to size. I also like how there is lots of room in the toe box, as I have wide feet. Holds the heel very well compared to most basketball shoes.
I'm really picking when it comes to my shoes.But the kd 12 are probably one of the best basketball shoes I have ever owned.This is not just a show boat shoe, for just looking good.The shoe is light and quick and has great traction.And I love the zoom air pockets,they are awsome for support and comfort.More less if your a serious baller who loves to play and win,these are the shoes for you!!!
I own a pair of KD 9, 10, and 11’s and let me say this is the best of the four. The traction (on a good court) was solid. The cushion is ridiculously nice and the impact protection is truly knee preserving! I’m a more mature ball player, so I look for extreme comfort, bounce, and impact protection and these delivered all. The KD 12’s have surpassed the Lebron 15’s which were super nice in all three areas. The only downside, the shoes are not as aesthetically appeasing as the recent versions - they look plain but future versions like the “Eye-Ball” edition will statisfy that deficiency. I’m a 5’9 PG and they really work my style of play - Tenacious defender, ball pusher, quick pop, and long ball! Have fun court warriors! They’re durable too!
I have worn size 13 shoes for a long time. But these shoes came in and right away I noticed how tight they were in the toe box. These shoes run narrow in the toe box. My feet are between a normal and wide size for width and these shoes rubbed on my pinky toe pretty hard. Pretty bummed I was excited about these. They felt comfortable until a couple games in and I just realized that they were too narrow.
I guess it's not to say that it's poorly made as much as to say that the little features on it. Little paper logos are like tags and they are somehow supposed to stay on the shoe? mine tore off while playing. After a month of straight wearing them playing, I thought that my shoe would fit more to my foot. not true it has stayed narrow and after playing only eight times my shoe already has a hole in it at the toe cap in the material. This is a poorly made shoe that I would not recommend playing with unless you have an incredibly narrow foot and don't mind some corny features on your shoe.
When I open the box. The color(orange/red) confused me the color was brighter than I expected. Now I'm thinking do I have top that matches these shoes. The shopaholic, I am lucky I had a few things instead of all black or white to wear with them. Other than the colors that caught me off guard, I really like them. They feel good and they get attention. I am happy with the purchase.
These shoes not only deliver on-court, but they're also amazing shoes in general. I personally have wide feet, so most shoes don't fit me exactly the way I want them to, but once these broke in, I fell in love. The immediate underfoot Zoom Air is brilliant and it is awesome to feel it squish as you step. The lockdown is perfect, not too tight, not too free. I've worn many kicks, but these are by far the best. No hesitation.
