Nike KD 10 Review
Pros:
Full length Zoom
Flyknit Upper
Cons:
Lateral support is lacking
Traction is not very durable
Performance of the Nike KD 10:
The KD 10 is a good overall performer with very comfortable, but slightly firmer cushioning. Reviewers recommend the shoe to players who value impact protection and do not rely on hard cuts. Durability is questionable as some reviewers noticed fraying of the outsole, and one reviewer suffered a torn lacing loop. Not recommended for wide-footers.

Overall the shoe is very similar to the KD 9. I like the firmer cushioning, the soft and flexible upper, but the support could be better.

I like the shoe a lot! If you are not looking to do heavy lateral cuts or be really shifty then this is a great shoe! Very comfortable fit and great cushion make these perfect when you want to give your legs some extra comfort.

Compared to the KD9, the Zoom is toned down, for good and bad. The materials are definitely improved. The looks — let’s face it, this is a beautiful shoe. But the traction slid a little and the overall playability seemed a step back from the KD9.

The KD10 just misses being a great shoe due to minor flaws in construction and traction — but they don’t deter it from being a good performance shoe.

The Nike KD10 was definitely not my favourite shoe, but it definitely wasn’t the worst. It is mostly suitable for forwards. The traction was decent on a clean court, but on dust, it was very sloppy. The cushion was okay, but it didn’t have all too much court feel. I also found the shoe a little stiff. The support was very sloppy tho, and my foot would always slide out the footbed. Ankle support wasn’t great either. The materials were okay and a little breathable, but the laces were inconvenient.

I think the cushioning is very good but has little durability because it broke very easy, and this didn’t only happened to me, my friends happened too.

This is probably the most disappointing aspect of the shoe. Great heel support, but the FlyKnit in the forefoot doesn't offer a lot of containment.
