Nike Kyrie Flytrap 2 Review
Pros:
Very affordable
Awesome traction
Cons:
Cushioning is super hard
Performance of the Nike Kyrie Flytrap 2:
At only $80, the Kyrie Flytrap 2 is one of the most affordable basketball shoes on the market, but how does it perform?
The traction is top-notch and works on all surfaces - even outdoors.
The materials are surprisingly good considering the price point and the support is solid for a low-top.
The biggest disappointment is the cushioning system which is hard as a rock and only recommended for light and young players without any foot or knee problems.
Overall, this is a great shoe if you are looking for an affordable performer with a lot of court feel that you can also use outdoors.

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.

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

The traction and support were amazing. I also like how responsive the cushion is. For Guards like me, this is a great option.

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

Outdoor should be good because of the hard rubber and deep grooves.
