8.9
Traction
Fingerprint multidirectional pattern with translucent rubber. Excellent bite on clean courts but dust reduces grip and requires frequent wiping.
9.1
Cushion
Anta EVE foam in a low-profile setup. Plush forefoot court feel, responsive ride and better heel impact protection with modest energy return.
9.1
Materials
Fully knitted upper with nylon backing and synthetic overlays. Soft, flexible and premium feeling with no break-in and decent durability.
8.5
Support
Internal heel counter, traditional lacing and wide outrigger. Provides confident containment and stable lateral support for quick cuts.
8.5
Fit
Mostly true to size with a snug midfoot and extra toe volume. Heel locks well but some report toe dead space.
75%
Outdoor
Firm rubber compound with translucent outsole. Usable outdoors with decent durability but soles attract dust which lowers traction.
small
large
Sizing
Generally true to size for most; a few recommend going half size down due to length. Try on if unsure.
narrow
wide
Width
Midfoot runs narrow while toe box has extra volume. Best for narrow to regular widths; wide feet may feel snug in midfoot.

One of the best performance shoes I have played in this year, especially at this price. A very nice shoe that will work for every type of player.

The Anta KT3 is a great shoe. Between the Dame 4, Curry 4 and KT3 I have one hell of a lineup to choose from on any given night.

I think Anta killed it with the KT3. This is a very affordable signature sneaker with a premium knitted upper, great traction and responsive cushioning.

The traction is super nice. On a clean court, it bites really hard, on a dusty court you will need to wipe a lot.

Traction on the ANTA KT3 looks like a finger print, à la the Air Jordan XX3, and like other circular patterns, it works wonderfully.

You are going to love the cushion if you are a forefoot heavy player. Very low-to-the-ground and responsive but minimal energy return.
