I absolutely love this type of video, love going back and remembering the shoes, I watched a lot of the performance reviews when they came out, so more like this with Kobe’s or something
KD 2's were awesome. Basically a 3 with a strap. No frills, no bs just a solid hoop shoe. Its placement seems about right. Not sure about the KD1. I heard they're stiff and clunky as hell which made the 2 all the more awesome when it came out back in 08 or 09.
The GOAT of performance reviews. Always watch your videos even if I’m not thinking about copping the shoe. The insight from you is levels above any other performance review channel. Keep it up 🙌🏻 love from South Africa
Well, I totally agree with your list! I remember watching you for the first time in the Nike Kd 5 performance review video. I went through 7 pairs of Kd 5’s. Love the Kd 5, 6, 7, 9 and 12. Thank you, Chris!
Mrs. Wing the real MVP! This was a fun list to see; wouldn't have guessed some of those earlier models would make it so high. The KD 4s were definitely loved mainly for the strong colorways. That year in general was pretty style over substance for Nike.
Kd 5 are IMO the best Kd shoe, I’ve had mine and play on outdoor courts and I could totally feel the wear and tear on them but they still feel amazing.
As usual, great video, my pick is the KD9, specifically love the USA colour way, the most comfortable KDs I’ve played in and the fact the my look as good as they do is a bonus
Kd12s then the kd8s for me. I loved the kd8s for whatever reason although the zoom bag popped on me eventually. The kd9s were chill but they never fit me right and on top of that the max zoom hurt my feet because it was somehow stiff for me even after break-in time. Loving the kd12 IDs right now!
1. KD 9- was my favorite hoop shoe for league play for a very long time. 2. KD 7- super dope shoe, got several pairs for casual wear. 3. KD 8- good on court performer, had to go up half a size, but I actually love them aesthetically also! 4. KD 6 elite- I didnt get the regular 6, but love the elites for casual wear. 5. KD 10- fit wasnt right for my feet to hoop in, but bought 3 pairs for casual wear 6. KD 11- only played a few games but containment wasnt secure, but love them for casual wear, super comfy! 7. KD 12- I'm sure this will be higher on the list due to performance, but I haven't bought a pair yet. I will be getting the cement colorway. Although they wont be tops on the list bc I'd never wear these casually. 8. KD 4- never owned these but love the way they look, just not for me bc I have wide feet. 9. KD 5- my best friend loved his pair of these, ugly looking to me tho so they have to be last on my list. 10. KD 1, 2, and 3. Never owned, not interested.
Man I’m so happy you made this one bro! Totally geeking out about these shoes! But I’ll definitely have to disagree, even aesthetic wise, KD 4 looks really good, dope colorway, but that shoe to me, is the the worst KD’s ever made lol great vid!
lolol you and I have the same FAVORITE Kd, the 7. I live and die by that shoe. I bought about 6 or 7 pairs and tore them all up playing outdoors in them because they just felt so amazing.
love the kd 8 never played in them but, from a functional stand point, they had that extension in the back that kept your pants from going under your shoe plus lots of different colors and designs
Completely agree on the KD11. I only bought them because they were on sale and the colorway matches a lot of my old school Packers gear. Only wearing it casually and even then...I have second thoughts. Lol
Durant signing to the Warriors became a "it you can't beat em join em" feeling. It was frustrating seeing that OKC with Westbrook and Westbrook got reverse swept by the Warriors, after what felt like they were dominating.
KD 3s was the best for me. The only KD that I was able to own. Played on them at every game, at every practice and even at school. The pair was affordable and durable. I hope nike makes a retro of them.
Chris, just want to congratulate you on your thinking about collecting sneakers. I think it's cool to give them away and not be a cumulator. Specially if you can help somebody who maybe cannot afford them or get them.
@@dwyanewade8645 i was wondering about where the KD12s were in his book compared to the rest of them, and happy to see that it's on the top of his list unfortunately for my wallet this makes me want a pair now lol
@@dwyanewade8645 are there any differences in tech specs between this and the regular colorways? I agree the warriors colorway is clean af. I was thinking the black at first but the warriors colorway is really tempting as well
First of all THANK YOU MRS. WING. You're missing out by not having the 2, ijs. That shoe is awesome. Other than that my list looks a lot like yours except at the top cause I love the 5 so it would've been behind the 12, 9,2, then 5
Loved my KD7's wanted to get the USA colourway but my size had sold out, toyed with getting the egg nogs but they also sold out so I waited and got the BHMs on day one.
Really looking fwd to trying the KD12 unfortunately I have to wait til Nike makes them available again on ID because I don’t like the current cw. I love wearing the KD9s casually, super comfortable.
Pretty sure those Black and white KD 1s released. Remember a guy in my team had a pair and I doubt a random person in a small city in Australia would have been able to get his hands on a sample.
I don’t think Nike ripped off your Zoom unit design on the KD8. If you look at the designs 1) they’re actually different and 2) if anyone were to articulate a zoom unit, your mock up and Nike’s way of articulating it were the obvious way of doing so based on how a foot moves
What happened with the running shoe videos lol great video keep em coming. Also what’s happened to the real talk videos lol I like those too. These brands need people like you that have a louder voice to here there bs because when I say something I don’t even get listened to last time they just have me a ten percent deal that expired that same day when I went to use it lol
I wanted the KD9 so bad and never got them during their original run but I just made up for it and got a pair of 9 Elites on Stock X last week I'm tired of hearing my brother talk about how comfortable the 9 was
I’d say KD 9 is the best. I’ve played in the 12, 13 and the 9. I wanted to play in the KD 7s but I saw people I’d play ball with slide on the court with them
I'm so sad. I don't play basketball, but I Nike ID-d a pair of KD7s in my favorite colors. I trashed them wearing them casually, but man I'm sad I threw them away.
KD4 has the most fire colorways but I love the silhouette of the KD7
exactly! kd7 has fire color ways but kd 4 takes the cake
Weatherman's are one of my favorite shoes of all time
Nerf
Weatherman’s
Scoring Title
Galaxy
Gold Medal
Year of the Dragon
Aunt Pearl
N7 home and away
I can keep going lol
Do a lebron line please. Thank you. Great content
To me them 15 the best!
I like the 10.
Or even a kobe line
I absolutely love this type of video, love going back and remembering the shoes, I watched a lot of the performance reviews when they came out, so more like this with Kobe’s or something
Hey nightwing can you please go through the entire nike signature shoes series' (kobe,lebron,pg etc)
The KD7 remains as my favourite in his line. Burned through three colourways along the way. Great list as always!
My favorite looking kd is the kd 6. Loved the look and the colorways
Do a vid on the Nike Basketball Elite series 🙏🏾
The 9’s are so bouncy. I love them. Love the 12’s too. Good list
Talk about perfect timing, I'm watching a KD documentary and literally search best KD shoes, and this vid was posted 5 hours ago... that's legendary
Let us know how you would rank the Nike KD line. Or at least pick your top 3. Thanks for watching!
Will you be making a performance reviw for the OMN1 shoes from Kawhi???
Silver Soul yea he definitely will
1. KD 12
2. KD 9
3. KD 7
KD 2's were awesome. Basically a 3 with a strap. No frills, no bs just a solid hoop shoe. Its placement seems about right. Not sure about the KD1. I heard they're stiff and clunky as hell which made the 2 all the more awesome when it came out back in 08 or 09.
kd 7’s are my favorite hoop shoes of all time
Besides that slight slippage in the rear even true to size
The GOAT of performance reviews. Always watch your videos even if I’m not thinking about copping the shoe. The insight from you is levels above any other performance review channel. Keep it up 🙌🏻 love from South Africa
I remember having the KD7 and loving that shoe even tho I have a wide foot it worked really well for me, and the outsole was super durable outdoors

Love the KD2s, the cushioning and traction are amazing + the low price point, and the creamsicle cw is sick!
Man I’m so happy you made this one bro! Totally geeking out about these shoes! But I’ll definitely have to disagree, even aesthetic wise, KD 4 looks really good, dope colorway, but that shoe to me, is the the worst KD’s ever made lol great vid!
The 7 are suuuper dope. Those colorways were next level. Really hope to pick them up this year. Anyone seen em at the outlets?
I can only say based off what I had. 1. KD 7 2. KD 6 3. KD 8
I just gotta say those KD 5 ID’s are fire. That is one shoe I truly miss.
Love this series!!! And Thank you for showing us the shoes you have on hand aswell 🙏🏾
Please show us your sneaker collection some time
Can the Lebron line be requested next ?
lolol you and I have the same FAVORITE Kd, the 7. I live and die by that shoe. I bought about 6 or 7 pairs and tore them all up playing outdoors in them because they just felt so amazing.
I still got a pair of KD7's, they are thrashed of playing outdoors, but they are still super fun to play in
Great video....and the fact you mentioned the designer...dope! Definitely getting them KD 11 soon!
love the kd 8 never played in them but, from a functional stand point, they had that extension in the back that kept your pants from going under your shoe plus lots of different colors and designs

God bless y’all! The Lord is always by your side no matter what!!
KD7 period.
Wow, what a coincidence. Couple of days ago I was thinking that you should do a ranking of the Lebron line. Great stuff!
Chris, just want to congratulate you on your thinking about collecting sneakers. I think it's cool to give them away and not be a cumulator. Specially if you can help somebody who maybe cannot afford them or get them.
I had the 5s in Solar Red Yeezy ID and yeah, I agree with Chris, solid ball shoe.
The KD2 was a great one to play in. I hope they retro soon.
Loved the kd 6s. The lace straps popped when i tied them too tight though 🤣
so happy you said kd 7. I jsut recently acquired them
Only good KD to me is the 5. Loved that shoe 🤷♂️
Brett Purdy Colorways were crazy for the 4-6s
your title got me lol
hope your calf is recovered and better than ever
How did his title get you?
@@dwyanewade8645 i was wondering about where the KD12s were in his book compared to the rest of them, and happy to see that it's on the top of his list
unfortunately for my wallet this makes me want a pair now lol
@@acseattle1975 Yeah what colorway are you looking at? I'm not a Golden State fanatic but those KD 12 Warriors colorway are clean. Check those out bro
@@dwyanewade8645 are there any differences in tech specs between this and the regular colorways? I agree the warriors colorway is clean af. I was thinking the black at first but the warriors colorway is really tempting as well
@@acseattle1975 Honestly I think it's the same. Just different colorway
Kd iv’s are my fave by far, and then the 12s and then the 6s/7s
recalled 12s? damn thats why they were on factory stores here in toronto 3 weeks ago....copped the 90s colorway there too!
kd 6 forever the goat. best colorways imo & you can wear them casually and not get flamed
First of all THANK YOU MRS. WING. You're missing out by not having the 2, ijs. That shoe is awesome. Other than that my list looks a lot like yours except at the top cause I love the 5 so it would've been behind the 12, 9,2, then 5
I will always love the 5
I enjoyed this series ranking , haven't wore any KD's , but so far i kinda diggin the 12s :3 (base on reviews and looks)
Loved my KD7's wanted to get the USA colourway but my size had sold out, toyed with getting the egg nogs but they also sold out so I waited and got the BHMs on day one.
Another great video! Great work
Those kd7 weatherman's were hard
7’s are my all time favorites to play in and looks wise
For guys who don't wear low tops...KD 12s are the goat🔥 for KD line.
Crazy That we’re already on 12s I remember when the 4s came out so amazing can’t wait until Nike re-releases them
You used to do top 5 videos. What is your top 5 cushioning system in 2019?
Lebrons next please
You should leave the picture of each shoe somewhere in the frame while speaking about them
I will always wear kd 4 for me they fit well and traction is amazing
I love the KD 11 as a casual shoe
6 and 7 were the best on a casual perspective.
The fours are definitely a pinky toe killer, but they're also hands down his best shoe
I played in the 6 7 8 and 9. The 6's preformed the best between them
Those 8s played in a whole different way
Really looking fwd to trying the KD12 unfortunately I have to wait til Nike makes them available again on ID because I don’t like the current cw. I love wearing the KD9s casually, super comfortable.
Pretty sure those Black and white KD 1s released. Remember a guy in my team had a pair and I doubt a random person in a small city in Australia would have been able to get his hands on a sample.
I’m a KD fan! I love the KD12 and KD11
I really enjoyed the KD10, the only gripe I had was the traction, it held up on good courts but on any thing else it was terrible
OOHHHHH WE NEED AN UPDATED LIST
I knew it, I also loved the 7s, it was my first signature shoe and I think I got spoiled lol, it's my favorite so far
Hope u gonna bring back the snake intro. Dope vid!
Keep up the great work
The kd 6 and 7 is the goats of the kd line
I don’t think Nike ripped off your Zoom unit design on the KD8. If you look at the designs 1) they’re actually different and 2) if anyone were to articulate a zoom unit, your mock up and Nike’s way of articulating it were the obvious way of doing so based on how a foot moves
Cushion is the most important part on any brands of shoes IMO
And support of course
Do this for the Lebron and Curry line and Kobe line!
Love my 9s. Looking forward to securing some 12s soon
What happened with the running shoe videos lol great video keep em coming. Also what’s happened to the real talk videos lol I like those too. These brands need people like you that have a louder voice to here there bs because when I say something I don’t even get listened to last time they just have me a ten percent deal that expired that same day when I went to use it lol
KD 8 were the last remnants of the elite series. It had that calf condom.
I'm hooping in the KD 6 right now. Super nice except for after wearing them for hours, they give you blisters. You should do the Kobe line next.
We already did.
@@WearTesters Okay cool. I'm catching up haha. Great Video WearTester. Salute
THANK YOU @ThisisMrsWing for making him do this video!!! I was SHOCKED the 12s weren't number 1....but when you got to it, I understood why.
Chris, I have a pair of the KD7's in that bright red, 9.5's. They aren't my jam, I'm loving the Anta KT's. Want'em?
I loved the kd 4 purely Bc of the looks man. Had to go up like 2 sizes to make them work but damn I love all my pairs lol
I just wish they'd come out with more weather/meteorology themed colorways for his shoes (and apparel, for that matter)
Kd 7 is dope man,
I wanted the KD9 so bad and never got them during their original run but I just made up for it and got a pair of 9 Elites on Stock X last week I'm tired of hearing my brother talk about how comfortable the 9 was
hahaha mrs wing, the content creator!!!!! team work makes the dream work!
I was literally searching for this exact list the other day. Chris you're a fuckin 🐐
You could bump the 2 up past the 3. Played very well for me.😉
I love my KD3.
I’d say KD 9 is the best. I’ve played in the 12, 13 and the 9. I wanted to play in the KD 7s but I saw people I’d play ball with slide on the court with them
Yo Chris, could you do a video where you tell the story of your tatoos? Those things are dope lookin!
ua-cam.com/video/NEyvHr6B5vE/v-deo.html
The kd7 really is the best basketball shoe ive ever tried
U should do this with the currys and kyries
Slim Reaper 🐐
Can you make a sneaker collection video?
Any chance of doing a vid on the melo line
I'm so sad. I don't play basketball, but I Nike ID-d a pair of KD7s in my favorite colors. I trashed them wearing them casually, but man I'm sad I threw them away.
