Pros
Very affordable
Awesome traction
Cons
Cushioning is super hard
Best Suitable For: Perfect for light and quick players who don't need a lot of impact protection
Category Performance Ratings
9.5
Traction
Deep multidirectional grooves with hard rubber. Excellent grip on dusty and clean courts, translates well outdoors and holds up during quick cuts.
4.5
Cushion
Thin foam midsole with low-profile setup. Firm, unbouncy ride with poor impact protection and minimal responsiveness.
9.0
Materials
Textile upper with supportive overlays. Lightweight, durable and inexpensive and holds up well with little break-in required.
8.5
Support
Textile containment cage with firm heel lockdown. Strong lateral containment and mobility-focused stability for quick movements.
7.0
Fit
Runs slightly long and very narrow. Tight forefoot with secure lockdown, and feet may push textile over the footbed.
100%
Outdoor
Hard rubber outsole with deep grooves. Traction works well outdoors and rubber should offer good durability on rough courts.
small
large
Sizing
Mixed reports: some say it runs a little long but many recommend true to size. Consider personal length preference.
narrow
wide
Width
Very narrow fit. Best for narrow to medium feet; wide footers will likely feel constricted.

I really liked playing in these shoes! If just wished the cushioning was a little more comfortable.

The Nike Kyrie Flytrap 2 is a very solid shoe in most aspects, but cushion could definitely use some improvement.

The support is really nice, and the materials feel pretty good. After wearing the shoe for about 6 months or so the sole of my shoe is pretty destroyed, but it is still easy to play in and really just a good shoe to play in; Inside and outside. It is one of the first basketball shoes I've bought. so I'm pretty new to them.

This shoe has one of the best tractions I've ever played in. It helped me stop on the dime and helped me with my shiftiness. It's also a super lightweight shoe. My only issues are that it is a super narrow shoe and the cushion isn't the best.

It’s not a bad shoe specially for outdoor because the traction is good and the sole is resistant but the cushion is terrible. It feels like you are playing barefoot and it hurts a little when you are running.

These aren’t the worst shoes I have ever bought but far from the best these can be used for young players who are smaller and lighter there would be a good shoe in those cases

I had about 3 pairs of these when I started playing basketball. They are good if you are in need of support and traction. Good for beginner players on a budget.

If you’re looking for something plush or bouncy then stay away. Far away.

Your feet are caged nicely, no heel slippage or side-to-side movement at all.
