    In this video we go over the Nike KD 17:
    The biggest surprise comes from the fit, especially compared to Kevin Durant’s most other signature shoes before this - it is no longer too narrow. However, with the slightly more spacious fit comes heel slippage, lockdown isn’t the best but it is tolerable if you wore thicker socks such as the Nike Elite ones. True to size is still the most ideal option, but there’s certainly no need to size up. Heel cushion became softer than the KD 16, this is a responsive midsole with decent comfort and impact protection. The translucent outsole even performed perfectly fine for me on clean or dusty courts, nice and squeaky for those looking for a consistent grip. Otherwise, this should be a fun and smooth ride for most players. Compared to a shoe that it’s very similar to - the GT Hustle 2, this fills in the lack of a midfoot plate to provide better torsional support and upper rigidity.

      Question for you Tommy, I have pretty narrow feet and I wanna get the gt cut academy but in the women's colorway. You think it'll fit fine or be to small/narrow?

    Love how they adopted the air max (?) Sun rise design. These look much better than 16. Maybe nike shd start doing collabs between their lines. For a start, make the tennis shoes look less hideous.

    I had quite a different experience I got the "penny" colorway (solid rubber outsole) I didn't notice any heel slippage matter of fact the fit is very snug for me and the traction is great but the squeak is inconsistent sometimes there's no squeak and sometimes it's the loudest thing I've heard I had some issues with breathability my feet were heating up like crazy I was using them outside in hot wheater so you should probably wear thin socks with this shoe overall I recommend it

      Both are wide foot friendly, KD’s might take a slight edge with better torsional support and upper rigidity so I might go with these. They’re very similar actually.
