Klay Thompson's Signature Shoe! Anta KT 8 Performance Review!

[@rykimcruz26]

The first time I tried the Anta KT9 "Water Rhyme" colorway, wow, it was such a solid performing basketball shoe. So, I decided to wait for it to go on sale in an online store. I was delighted because even though the materials, design, or changes in the appearance of these two models in the KT Line are different, I was happy because both are solid when it comes to containment, they really lock down, their grip is super solid even if the rubberized court and hardwood I play on are dusty. The cushioning is just like the KT9, the KT8 is effective, there's no foot, knee, or back pain the next day, especially when you're a 30+ hooper like me. So, if you can't afford to buy the newer model, if you see your size in this KT8 and it's on sale, grab it, it's worth the money.

I thought that people would know by now that the ankle support of a shoe doesn’t correspond to whether it’s a high top or low top. It’s the lockdown and stability of a shoe guys….

[@Mcali1984]

Actually. The stiffness of a high top can help Lessen the severity of a sprain. However, someone is more likely to have a Knee injury from the lack of ankle Movement. I’d rather an ankle injury than another knee one.

People just gotta strengthen their knees and ankles. People depend too much on the shoes

deff a shoe ive been thinking about getting

[@elijahdelacruz3204]

I’ll just say what Chris of Weartesters has stated many times now. High cut shoes providing “more ankle support” is False advertising. Your ankles ARE the support for your entire body and itself. All you need for good “ankle support” is a solid heel lockdown, good traction, and a stable base. The more restriction you put on your ankles for sports, the more pressure that will put on your knees as your body is Trying to compensate for the lack of mobility from your ankles. This in turn increases the likelihood of a knee injury, and I don’t know about y’all but I’d much rather have an ankle sprain than a Knee injury. Heck, Why do you think companies have moved away from stiff high collars on high cut shoes, the ones which quote on quote “provides better ankle support”, and instead have moved on to much more flexible materials even on high cuts? Its cause stiff high cuts increases chances of a Knee injury.

[@deadeyedan1521]

That's why NBA players have more ankle injuries now, in the last 5 years more players have worn low tops and the ankle injuries have increased significantly

[@elijahdelacruz3204]

@@deadeyedan1521 The chances of injuring your ankle is just as high in high cut shoes as in low cut shoes, Especially if you roll your ankle when you step on someone’s foot. Aint no high cut is gonna stop that. If you roll your ankle on your own a stiff high cut isn’t also gonna prevent your ankle from getting injured and hurting, that collar no matter how stiff Cannot stop the full weight of your body from injuring your own ankle. And again, the higher and stiffer the shoe, the more it will increase the likelihood of you injuring your knee as your body is trying to compensate for the lack of mobility from your ankles. An ankle injury is much more easier to recover from rather than a knee injury.

[@deadeyedan1521]

@@elijahdelacruz3204 actually a stiff high cut shoe will stop you from rolling your ankle in certain situations, I have played basketball for 50 years now reaching simi-professional level, have tried nearly all the so called top performance models, and I will tell you that high top shoes can and will help from rolling your ankle, I have rolled my ankles many times, luckily no major injuries, I believe high tops are the reason I have had no major injuries, I have never had a knee injury, so keep wearing those low tops and keep rolling your ankles, makes it easier for me to go past you. The stats don't lie, more ankle injuries in the NBA than ever, more NBA players wearing low tops than ever, coincidence? I think not

[@deadeyedan1521]

They moved away because of fashion trends, which dictates nearly all aspects of life nowadays, if it's trendy they will make and sell it, ie.. Jordan crocks,and I guarantee you just like all other fashion trends companies will again come back to the stiff high tops, then back to low tops, so on and so forth as fashion trends always do. What's trending now anyway, 80s look, 90s look, 50s look, it doesn't matter they will all come back around again

[@deadeyedan1521]

Chris @ weartesters says he don't play much anymore due to bad knees, looks like low tops never helped him

[@polong99]

The squeak just make it better. I just hate shoes that stop without making some squeaking noise

[@dadtriesgaming1210]

Nice shoes but the laces are way too long. I’m still getting these though

[@floatgamehoops3117]

Looks really nice I hope there's a low top

[@QueMusiQ]

Love this shoe.

[@choichuanheng5689]

Is it good for small sized point guard?

[@richeamigo3548]

Great review

[@JusKyze]

I need the performance review of the Dame Certified’s

[@lanzbose3335]

Can you do a review for the new anta kt9. Thanks

[@jkyligarciaisaac1236]

asking what is better jordan 36 or lebron 20 in your opinion.

[@pingguerrero3336]

I have both. If you are wide foot id rather go lebron, 36 is quite narrow. You cant go wrong on any of these, lebrons quite higher off the ground. Im a guard but i prefer 36 more, plus i attack the basket and move a lot. They’re both good imo

[@jkyligarciaisaac1236]

This guy is all about quantity over quality for sure. He would put out a performance review after just one or 2 wears at most.
