Pros
Premium knitted upper material
Awesome traction
Cons
Small containment issues on lateral cuts
Best Suitable For: Best for players who enjoy knitted uppers and soft cushioning
Category Performance Ratings
9.5
Traction
Fingerprint traction pattern with sticky, soft rubber. Excellent grip on clean courts but collects dust and can be hard to clean.
8.8
Cushion
Boost-like responsive foam with bouncy rear and responsive forefoot. Very protective on impact but can feel mushy and high-offset in the heel.
9.0
Materials
Battleknit-style knit with synthetic leather or mesh in some colorways. Soft, premium feel with durability and lockdown varying by upper type.
8.7
Support
Extended outrigger, molded heel counter, midfoot shank and lateral TPU counter. Offers solid lateral stability but ankle containment can be minimal.
8.3
Fit
True to size for many with snug initial knit. Synthetic leather keeps better lockdown while knit can stretch and loosen over time.
25%
Outdoor
Soft, pliable rubber outsole. Great indoor traction but questionable outdoor durability; fine for occasional outdoor use only.
small
large
Sizing
Runs true to size for most. Consider half size down if you prefer a firmer initial fit since the knit stretches.
narrow
wide
Width
Fits narrow to regular widths best. Wide-footers may feel very snug and should test fit or consider sizing choices.

Overall, the Anta KT4 is one of the best performing sneakers available. The cushion is both bouncy and responsive. The traction is awesome, and it has all the support you need.

For $125 you get premium materials and modern tech. I enjoyed playing in these a lot! The only issues are the slightly mushy cushioning and the problematic containment on lateral cuts.

The KT4 uses the same fingerprint traction pattern used in the KT3 and it works incredibly well.

The traction pattern bites super hard and stops on a dime. On dirty courts, it collects dust easily and it's not easy to wipe.

The foam cushioning used is very similar to Boost and is very bouncy/springy in the rear while the front offered solid court feel with impact protection.

The cushion is awesome. Bouncy in the forefoot and plenty of impact protection in the heel. It is one of the best cushion setups available.

The cushioning is super soft - almost too soft. Impact protection is crazy good but it feels a bit mushy and I didn't like the high offset of the heel.

The upper material looks similar to the Battleknit used in the Lebron 15 but offers more lockdown and is less stretchy.

This colorway (East Bay Times) specifically was a good performer since it had synthetic leather, but I was not a fan of the mesh uppers for performance.

The TPU counter on the lateral side of the shoe offers amazing lateral support and stability to help with side steps and quick stops when planting your foot.

There is a little bit of sliding on lateral cuts and the ankle support is pretty minimal.

I went down half a size because the knit stretches out with time.
