Chris is one of the rare channel that’s authentic and genuine to his “review”. Like or dislike I can trust it’s genuine. ✊

[@johnreyraynard2548]

The outsole pattern of KD17 is called soundwaves . KD is close to rappers .the slim reaper

[@echung84]

KD17 = Nike Air Determination (shown in vid) + Nike Air Max Plus + 2024 tech

[@K.Kellam]

Nike Air Determination remains my favourite pair of basketball shoes I've ever owned, specifically the black and orange colourway. At least for nostalgia reasons.

[@BobbyObado]

I like these visually. Great breakdown and review.

[@ilogart23]

Nice to see you doing performance reviews Chris. Stay healthy.

[@jokofsor]

I started watching you when you reviewed the KD 5. Now you're reviewing the KD 17! Been loving watching your vids since then, and just sending much love bro!

[@michaelmenchero7289]

Chris is hands down the best reviewer on this platform!!!

[@MasterObiWanKenobi-db5ti]

Thanks for the review! Very excited to find some KD16 on sale to try them on!

[@levzakharov]

Nice angles, good shots, solid review! Keep it rolling 😎

love to see chris doing the performance reviews, good to see you brother!

i always enjoy a good performance review on this channel. would be cool to get an updated top 10 basketball models for 2024 at some point

[@roboroflo8679]

great review as always

Awesome review as always 👌🏽

Another Monday. Another banger!

Great stuff as always NW!

[@benjaminberba2606]

Continue being honest on the reviews

[@shannonyoung5247]

The video footage is cool, keep it up!

[@uspatriotstigmacher134]

Great review. On the insole glue down, that happened on the 16s during a game, had to come out and fix it as the insole slid and bunched up. That's less a design issue and more a manufacturing issue.

[@theplague86]

These might be my first KD’s 🔥

[@Dokdo_is_our_land]

It's surprising that you haven't tried any Kds

[@theplague86]

@@Dokdo_is_our_land I guess, there’s just so many sneakers to choose from it’s hard to try them all 😅

Me too but I need it in all black tho

[@saming82]

Nice review. As always.

[@Neverm1nD431]

Chris I love that shirt bro 🔥

[@otahsieh]

New basketball footage looks sharp, like the new angle , excellent work.

[@WearTesters]

Awesome! Thank you!

[@splakacheus]

The GOAT of Shoetube 🎉

[@posterbag]

The kd6 elite was my fav. Im currently loving the 16 and will snag the 17 for sure just bc I know I’ll love it. KD’s are the best shoes for my wider foot. Been waiting for your review on this. Thx mang

[@lionelgrisbane]

What? KD15 and 16 were ridiculously narrow, how are they good for wide feet

[@eddie3600]

love the air max inspiration, maybe they will do more cross nike design inspirations , 🔥

[@BurntWifi]

I have no intention of buying most of the shoes you review but i'll watch and like every video 😂

[@Nosignature]

New footage still is dope

[@arianrivers8690]

"weak ass materials" had me LMAO!!! I miss you doing performance reviews man! dope video. KD is my fav player and I collect his line. Not a huge fan of the 17...

[@JV-rl3kl]

Great stuff

[@foxx180]

My favorites! @WearTesters Another great and informative video! Thank you

[@hniccasanova]

Hey Chris, love the videos and I try to keep up as much as I can. Will you be doing a review of the new Nike air max2 cb 94’s Black gym red ? Thank you.

[@My2boyzjj]

Best reviews on the web

[@michaelsanford4891]

Liked the footage. I know last year's is basically the same shoe but I like this one more astectically

[@josephrealce]

I've been watching you since 2013 man

[@MasterJPzilla]

Your t-shirts are always 🔥

[@pjmejac10]

KD7 is my favorite too. Desperately hoping for a retro

footage was fire 🤌🏽 what camera was it again?

[@JoeDaddy11]

As a dad I am really looking forward to shooting hoops with my son when he is older.

[@howelldanielx]

Fire KD colorway and fire shirt 💪

[@therealmarcc.2529]

Kd 17 looks good. Hope I don’t get heel slip. Love the new footage!

[@philipdanisaactaniza2800]

👌 review

[@lukebasham2220]

The Duke colorway looks dope!🔥🔥🔥Also, I have some WhiteGold tees…crazy cool designs and comfy tees! Love em!

[@darianchun6021]

I have to agree with everyone... Chris is staying true and I'm happy Chris is able to do performance reviews again. I've balled in the KDs since the 11s. The 14s were the best. I agree that these are not like the 16s and the 16s are better. These are similar to the 15s in the fact that I had heal slippage.

[@trevorachilles3760]

Hey Chris, I have been watching your vids for over a decade now, and I greatly appreciate your input on modern and retro sneakers. Thank you for all you do, and I hope that you stay healthy. I'm not really a fan of these KDs, TBH. I was just wondering, will you be doing a review of the Air Jordan 12 "Red Taxi"? Those look like something MJ would have worn back in the day. I would love your opinion on that colorway. :)

[@WearTesters]

We will be. Stay tuned.

[@IAmInfinitus208]

This shoe is giving me so much of OKC Thunder vibes, which could be a coincidence given KD used to be with them! Sidenote, I can't wait for that OG AM Plus Orange Sunsets!

[@dukestarfighter]

I gotta say, I really like the last 3 or 4 models of the KDs. I played in the KD16 quite a lot and actually preferred them over the LeBron 20 that same year. I look forward to trying these on to see if they’ll work for me

[@dreamcast64_cl36]

I like this looks better than last year, so I'll just wait for the Kay Yow cw to cop!!

[@spencerkogut107]

I love the look of them, but I am with you about waiting until they are on sale.

[@phillipparedes6444]

Question of the day.. You have 24hrs left to live , What would be your last 3 meals to eat? (Breakfast ,Lunch & Dinner) Me- Bacon&chorizo breakfast burrito, lobster roll with seasoned fries and Kobe steak medium.

[@ry-a0]

I usually love orange colorways but this initial one made me want to pass on the model. Then I just saw the Penny one this weekend and I'm back on board! That one looks great. (Definitely going to wait for the outlet prices though)

[@hellaguapo]

Air Max Plus! I knew these things looked familiar. Also, 90s basketball seem to be KD’s thing since the 16 looked like the Penny 2.

[@MrMooie]

These look better on foot than I expected. The b-roll looked good which is how I could tell.

[@janwellner9839]

The plastic stripes reminds me of the And1 Rekanize :D

[@jaydot.176]

Thus shoe is giving 90's vibe and I love it.

[@hchris1515]

Hey Chris, ive been seeing shoes that perform better in translucent rubber(puma esp), does translucent rubber last? Our "indoor" courts here are cement so I've been hesitating.. Anyway, great review!

[@rellswrld]

I wont even lie...i could care less about the on court footage, if you say thumbs up or down it informs my purchases for hoop kicks.

[@lionelgrisbane-ud87]

Well some people like the on court footage. You don’t speak for everyone

[@aaronconcepcion8196]

love the shirt. where can i get one??

[@riskypugga]

Great looking silhouette, but ill wait for a better colorway.

[@natbalanza]

now waiting for the kd16 to be on sale 😊

[@peterwoodaman5936]

I still wear those high top Kobe 9 elite green behind you Chris. I threw the lebron 11 midsole in there for competitive play. My old ass knees are in heaven. Cheers

@@philipjin4902 ☝️Thats what she said!

[@DanielEndres-cu3tt]

I feel like the KD like has basically taken the place of the hyperdunk like in Nike’s lineup. It’s not really amazing at any one thing and doesn’t have a super strong identity as a signature line anymore. It is has however become a shoe that literally any basketball player can enjoy to some extent. Good enough cushion for most, good enough court feel for most, enough support for most, and decently consistent traction. All this in a shoe that you will likely be able to get 50% off from their website at some point before the next model drops.

[@supersuperkw]

Man my wake n bake video 🌞 good timing bro

Lay off the weed my brother 🙏🏼

Nice shoe quality looks great on this one picked it up today at Dicks sports 🏀 where can I get the weatherman 4???

[@Tommiart]

Why am I watching KZbin at midnight? Cos Chris is on of course 😅

[@alejandrocoto4300]

Chris wheres the t shirt from? Its sick

[@mjhonsun]

If you want the same performance go with last year's KD model. If you want an upgrade, go with the year before that.

[@davordax3]

I wonder why there are so many sneakers with strange designs and bright colors and in general with a lot of colors. While there are less and less of those classic or black and white, white, black with an elegant design that you can wear with almost everything, and many of these sarees seem to be non-stop summer.

[@isaideleon3362]

I need to see a jordan 17 low lightning review

☀️Good good morning vibes !📺👟er talk with Mr. Mrs. 🪽 amazing🎥 video footage, and great commentary as🌹 always⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 🚌💫💫💫 You will have an amazing time 🥳

[@ralphcuasay8572]

Where in Sacramento is the court you’re playing at? Looking for some places I can play in

[@answering248]

Holy these are probably the only KD’s I think that look good took 17 sneakers for him to get it done.

[@youngicewater8289]

I’ve noticed the same thing with the insoles they move around only bad thing about them

[@guyrjr]

Fr excited to add to algo

[@peejuu]

This is Nikes redemption shoe for giving us the dangerous lateral movement shoe that was the KD 16 cant remember how many times i slipped and had court burns from the 16.

[@affc68]

Nice shirt

[@NotKurt7]

To me, i feel the air strobel in the heel and zoom in the forefoot is more stable than full length zoom strobel. I get how it’s technically a downgrade BUT my heavier body appreciates the more absorbent heel feel.

[@i7OOL]

Blue stripe on bottom could of been purple on this pair in particular and they would of been dope for suns home cws

[@MonicaChrisFC]

on court footage looked good loll 11:15

[@zenox551]

About to wait another year and grab these at the outlet, love the way they look but no way paying full price

[@jamespark3628]

Chris got so nervous when Jodi said “BRO” 😂😂😂

[@armikeb]

Agree on thr KD7! 💯

[@macfanguy]

The kd 14 had the best cushion. Loved those ( not the looks)

[@charlieguevaralabayog5078]

The colorway reminds me of the Jordan 3 sunset.

[@Popongkee]

That Penny colorway is 🔥

[@peetahtee3826]

When are the “since the 90’s” T shirts dropping??

[@agentdubski7760]

1st. Loved the basketball footage. 2nd. The KD line is usually love or hate but the 17s I’m kinda in the middle…..weird. 3rd. Love the Since Apparel. Favorite is still the “History Over Hype” hoodie. 4th. QOTD : Which is more difficult? Learning Mandarin Chinese OR a blind man knowing when to quit wiping his butt? ❤

[@user-ur8mi2bs1j]

Happy Monday! Hope you had a great weekend. "[Brand] coasting off their name" really is the story of the last couple years, isn't it? (Not just sneaker brands.) I don't play ball anymore and I wouldn't wear KD's casually, so this never was for me... but this is a terrible debut colorway for a shoe. Thanks for the video! Here's my like and my comment for that greedy Al G. Rhythm.

[@damiandigitaldude5531]

Bro where do you get those T-shirt!!????? they are LIT

[@damiandigitaldude5531]

Got my answer at the end of the video lol

[@jjcornelio7741]

Clicked the video really fast. 😊 Hope you check out the 361 Big 3.0 quick 5

[@blkkid35]

Man! Where do you get them Marvel🔥shirts from?

[@rodneyjackson1598]

Would you say the Kd line is taking things that made the penny line great specifically 14 to 17

[@thearabkobe9218]

Picked these up and the glue on mine failed as well. It’s not that the shoe is uncomfortable, but the build quality is terrible. I would stay away from this shoe completely. Unless you wait for a later batch. I’m a big KD shoe fan and have used them all for hooping. The 15’s were the last good ones in my opinion.

[@oceancycloneblue5356]

Baby powder under the insole on the bubble may stop that insole rolling issue.

[@beejuggs8254]

Not a fan of KD so I've always passed on his shoes. I think I'll continue that path with these as well.

[@markgalvez1704]

I hope they are wide foot friendly like the KD7

[@emilydana7]

My son is curious if the insole slippage, if changed insoles to like the Vktry ones he had if you think it may do the same? Trying to figure this out before buying!

[@WearTesters]

A sturdy insole wouldn’t slip due to its rigidity, but the plate sitting directly on top of the Air unit could damage it.
