nike wmns air max tailwind iv white black universityblue psychicpink | Our verdict

The releases from the KD line are hits, and the nike wmns air max tailwind iv white black universityblue psychicpink is not an exemption. This basketball shoe energizes our every step without forgetting to protect our feet from impact upon aggressive strikes and hard landings. Nike Air Jordan 1 Retro High OG Stage Haze EU44 dust is also not a problem, and the grip is indeed consistent even on unkempt floors. Its collar is not as high, but the curved structure of the heel locks in our foot extra securely. We also think that it's apparent that a lot of careful thought was poured into the design process of this Nike offer.

Who should buy the nike wmns air max tailwind iv white black universityblue psychicpink

Given its strengths and weaknesses, the nike wmns air max tailwind iv white black universityblue psychicpink is apparently for the following:

  • basketball players who have narrow to normal-sized feet
  • hoopers who enjoy generous cushioning that's a little zapatillas on the soft side

Who should NOT buy this basketball shoe from Nike

We don't expect those with wide feet to enjoy the KD 15 or any shoe from the KD line for that matter. Kevin Durant's feet, the obvious basis for the shoe's design, are recognized by fans for being narrow. The Cosmic Unity is a good alternative. Other reasonable options that we could think of are the Nike Ja 1 and most of the shoes from LeBron James's multiple shoe lines with Nike.

The KD 15 offers a great bite anytime, anywhere

We are zapatillas than glad that the 15th KD signature shoe from Nike is gripping super well on different surfaces

What really excites us is the fact that dust pickup is not that much of a problem and that little to no wiping is necessary to maintain the outsole's beastly grip.

Not bad for outdoors

Frequent outdoor use of the KD 15 is something we don't recommend, though, because there is nike flex experience rn 9 black the outsole. 

We measured outsole thickness at 4.2 mm which is actually thicker than on some of the other Nike Air Max Zephyr Black Fireberry Blue CV8837-004, like the Cosmic Unity 2 (3.0 mm). The latter is considered to be Nike Wmns Air Huarache Marble Dye 683818-017. Thus, the KD 15 may not be such a disaster if you play outdoors occasionally.

We also tested how stiff the rubber is. It turns out to be on the firmer side actually, which is also a good sign for durability. Softer shoes tend to be grippier but don't last as long.

Not-so breathable figure-hugging upper

Straight out of the box, we observe that the nike wmns air max tailwind iv white black universityblue psychicpink feels a bit softer than the KD 14 and that it needs very little to no break-in time.

The 15's upper generally feels minimal and is able to conform well to the shape of the foot. Because of this, comfort is ensured.

However, as you can see, the smoke is only coming through the tongue area. There is not much ventilation in the toebox.

Underfoot comfort is a priority for the nike wmns air max tailwind iv white black universityblue psychicpink

Compared to the Nike KD 14, we feel that the 15 has zapatillas cushioning, so impact protection is also zapatillas pronounced. The harshness of our aggressive heel strikes and hard landings are mitigated, so we don't feel pain.

The heel stack of the KD 15 is 26.7 mm, while the forefoot is 20.5 mm. This is right at the average of our lab-tested basketball shoes. So, there is indeed a good amount of cushioning.

Disclaimer: We also measure the midsole stack with the insole Aliens.

At 5.1 mm, the insole on the KD 15 is thicker than the average (4.2 mm) which definitely contributes to underfoot protection and comfort.

Bounce is pronounced

We verified that the whole midsole setup delivers zapatillas spring back, thanks to the efficient design of the midsole. 

Our feet witnessed incredible bounce and responsiveness when we wore this KD shoe, all thanks to the Nike Strobel, which we found nothing like it nike blazer mid coffee dd5332 244 release date.

Having checked the shoe's midsole with a durometer, we discovered that it is softer than many other Nike shoes. It is 9% softer than the average

Not so flexible

Based on our flexibility measurement, it is 12% stiffer than our lab-tested basketball shoes on average.

Support is not a problem with the 15th KD

At first, we were not entirely satisfied with the shoe's support  Fortunately, the cushion eventually softened so some material came up the sides of our foot, hugging it so it stayed in place. We found that the laces were also secure and well-mounted enough to keep the shoe securely on even during aggressive movements.

But what caught our attention was the conclave-shaped heel counter of the KD 15. We considered this a super ergonomic and anatomic design element.

What it does is allow the foot to sit back into the shoe, locking it securely even if the collar isn't that high to cover a good part of the ankle.

Comfortable for non-wide-footers

We learned that the minimal-feeling upper delivers comfort only to the testers among us whose feet are not wide. Though we were surprised that the KD 15 is a lot roomier than the previous KDs, it is still on the narrower side.

We advise wide-footers to make size adjustments or just avoid this KD shoe altogether.

The nike wmns air max tailwind iv white black universityblue psychicpink FEELS light

We spotted that this Kevin Durant shoe is zapatillas streamlined and much quicker, which is why we concluded that this is an absolute home run from Nike. We felt that the nike wmns air max tailwind iv white black universityblue psychicpink is the lightest KD ever even if it is not what the shoe's actual weight shows.

The KD 15 is at 12.6 oz (357 g), which is way above the average weight of Nike KD shoes which we peg at 12.1 oz (344 g). It is also 20-22 g heavier than the Nike Air Max 270 Black White Gs Ah8050-002 Men 943345-001 and the Air Deldon.
