ANTA KT 9 Review
Pros:
Comfortable impact protection
Impressive grip on clean courts
Cons:
Material breathability
Dust pickup
Performance of the ANTA KT 9:
Anta maintains solid performance with its latest entry in Klay Thompson's signature shoe line.
Reviewers agree the traction grips well on clean courts, but the outsole picks up dust quickly. Make sure to wipe the dust, or else performance can suffer.
The cushioning provides lots of impact protection, especially under the heel. The forefoot also feels responsive.
The materials are comfortable and supportive, but they aren't very breathable.
Because of the materials and outsole construction, the KT 9 is plenty supportive. One reviewer mentions the lockdown being one of the best.
The Anta KT 9 combines comfortable cushioning, secure lockdown, and containment to be a solid performer.

Anta hit with this outsole. This shoe has some of the best traction I tested in the last few seasons. I barely had to wipe, even in dirty conditions.

The traction picks up dust, and I had to wipe frequently. I didn't slide out. Performance on clean courts is top-tier, though.

The traction is thin and light, and the initial grip on clean courts feels good. Dust causes slipping, so make sure to wipe the outsole.

The full-length nitrogen-infused cushioning is my favourite feature of the shoe. This setup is the closest that a foam has come to feeling like Zoom.

I did not appreciate the fit because of how narrow the taper becomes. It works for players who prefer a slim and snug fit, though.
