I've played around 10 games in these, and I think these are the best Nike bball shoe to date. Almost flawless. Completely comfortable on first wear too. My only gripe would be that they run hot and there's no good loops to help you hold your sweaty shoes.

Once again based off your advice, I found a perfect hooping shoe! The other I copped due to your reviews was the Kobe Protro 1. Always on point! I never listen to other performance reviews because they just can't beat your research, detail and how you know the history and composition of shoes. The other reviewers are just guessing at materials or don't even hoop in the shoe. Thanks!!!

Just got my pair for 70 dollars at a Nike outlet. As a sneakerhead with a lot of the more expensive / exclusive / less performance based items, it's nice to have a pair of both the J 34s and kd 12s. I will say that with the insole out, these feel insane. Not necessarily better, but still worth trying.

[@justinc5043]

That's some real talk and can't agree more on signatures should ideally be ~$150 max. The base techs, design and manufacturing vectors are there already that there's no reasonable and justifiable motive to do incremental price increases (other than pure $$$ grab that is). This should extend to retros as well since majority of dev and marketing costs have already been amortized over the life of the original as well as each incremental retro runs they've had.

These are definitely the best if you want the zoom air feel. I have tried these on and they do not require break in time. Super comfy. I wear my pair of aj 31s casually and it took a week of break in for you to feel the zoom, and it was unlocked. So kd12 is the way to go

[@biggarah11]

Jason S. Explain

[@jasons.8125]

@@biggarah11 Nike Dunk SBs have heel Zoom units lightly glued to the bottoms of the insoles - not encased in the midsole. It's super easy to pull out the Zoom unit. Once removed, simply place under the insole of KD 12. Glue could be used, but it's not necessary. The old SB Zoom unit sits between the insole and the Zoom strobel of the KD; giving you SB Zoom + KD strobel Zoom + KD double-stack heel Zoom (in midsole) - without noticeably altering the fit of the shoe.

Just do you man, people care too damn much about what others think. These shoes are comfy af, I throw them on all the time to run errands, they fit so snug but comfortably I barely even tie them up. Then they are even better when hooping. Super light weight and that zoom is so plush, they really give my old ass knees some nice bounce at almost 35.

[@tylerhatch8962]

I actually like the variance within the model, as a wide footer I can get into those different lines on the years they are a little wider. One year the KD is too narrow, so I go with a Harden, next year the harden is too narrow so I look at LeBron's. Personally I like being ABLE to get into these lines because they do have years when they run wide and loose. Just food for thought.

[@WearTesters]

That’s great for you, but the thought on consistency still stands. The only reason to be brand loyal is because you’ll know what you’re getting - or should know. The variance is great for some and not for others.
