The Nike Zoom KD IV: A versatile performer

Designed with new insights from Kevin Durant, one of the game's most potent all-around performers, the versatile Nike Zoom KD IV Men's Basketball Shoe features an updated construction and a serious support system for quicker, more aggressive play.

Benefits

• Hyperfuse construction for ultra-lightweight durability and breathability
• Adaptive Fit system for support and lockdown
• Customized midfoot shank for increased stability
• Nike Zoom for exceptional cushioning
• Flex grooves along the outsole for a more natural range of motion

Construction

Unlike its predecessor, the Nike Zoom KD IV features revolutionary Hyperfuse construction: three different layers of material fused together to create a nearly seamless one-piece upper. The result is zones of ventilation, durability and stability, right where you need them.

Support

The Adaptive Fit system has synthetic straps at the forefoot and arch, attaching at the midsole and integrating with the laces for total lockdown and support.

Cushioning

Nonstop sprinting on hard, wooden floors requires excellent cushioning. The Nike Zoom unit in the forefoot provides lightweight, low-profile and responsive cushioning for all four quarters, while a Phylon midsole--which weighs about an ounce less than traditional Phylon--builds on the shoe's comfort.

Fit

Anyone can wear this shoe, from point guards to power forwards. The 5/8-height collar provides optimal support and flexibility, rendering it versatile and powerful for every position on the court. Cushioned lobes inside the heel collar create a snug fit for better lockdown in the heel.
