A really nice shoe, I enjoyed playing in it a lot. This should have been the Kyrie 3. Guards - you will love it!

Taking the $100 price tag out of the equation, the Nike Zoom Live 2017 stands up against Nike’s higher priced models and outshines them. If you’re a fan of low tops then you’ll likely be a fan of these.

The shoe itself is pretty abnormal in my opinion. The traction is really weird but it works pretty nicely but there might be dust problems often. Cushion ain't too bad. The support feels alright. The materials feels pretty cheap as the shoe itself isn't expensive. For outdoor use, it's alright. The traction rubber isn't too hard or too soft so the shoe would be alright to play with outside. This shoes are good for wide feet too.

Even on dusty courts, the traction is decent. On a clean court, it's really, really good.

The traction straight up kills it on most courts and conditions without issue.

Rubber is hard and pretty thick, so might work outdoors.

Outdoor players might not receive long-lasting traction because the rubber is a bit soft.
