Hi, guys, many fans want to see the performance of KD7 Thunderbolt. After playing about 20 basketball games on the outdoor cement court, below is our performance review of KD7 Thunderbolt

The outsole is irregular wave lines. The traction performance is great. As it has big space in the lines, so it won’t be easy to absorb dust. The traction performance is better than normal herringbone grain.

The rubber of KD7 Thunderbolt is soft. But the grain is deep. It’s suitable for playing in outdoor court. The abrasive resistance is good.
Cushion Performance：9 scores
The cushion performance of KD7 Thunderbolt is excellent. The rear sole uses Max Zoom. It’s stable. This kind of cushion configuration is suitable for most of people.

It needs time to break-in the fitness of shoe heel. The material of shoe heel is flightposite, it should be the upgraded foamposite. The main material of vamp is mesh fabric.

If you have disease of ankle, it’s better not to choose KD7 Thunderbolt. The biggest problem is the part of forefoot. The strength of mesh fabric is week.
