Cons
Terrible cushioning

Category Performance Ratings
8.0
Traction
Unspecified tread pattern with hard rubber compound. Breaks in to provide solid grip on clean courts but is dust sensitive and less sticky than Flytrap 2.
5.0
Cushion
Firm low-profile foam setup. Very hard underfoot with minimal compression and poor impact protection.
7.0
Materials
Thin mesh upper with synthetic leather overlays. Lightweight but feels flimsy and budget oriented; durability is limited.
8.0
Support
Low-profile midsole with snug upper and secure heel lock. Strong lateral containment and stable ride for quick cuts.
8.0
Fit
Runs narrow and snug with strong lockdown and little dead space. Best for narrow feet; wide feet will feel cramped.
100%
Outdoor
Hard rubber outsole is durable outdoors. Traction and wear hold up well on rough courts according to reviewers.
small
large
Sizing
Conflicting advice between true to size and half size up. Narrow-footed players can go TTS; wider feet should size up.
narrow
wide
Width
Fits very narrow. Best suited to narrow to regular feet; wide-footed players should avoid or size up significantly.

For $80 it's a good performer, but not as good as the Kyrie Flytrap 2.

The cushioning is rock hard and the materials feel cheap. I would only recommend these for outdoor use.

1st, the toe box is way too narrow & will give you Bunions. 2nd, the heel raise is so annoying, forces a heel strike, shortens your achilles/calves, and is really bad. 3rd, the toe spring is annoying/bad too. 4th, there’s way too much cushion/support. I can’t feel anything that I’m stepping/landing on in these & my feet probably got weaker from atrophy. The grip is fine but it wore out from 15 months of parkour. Even for basketball, I wouldn’t wear them. At least Naturathletics or Xero/unshod.

These shoes are a good option not the best if you´re looking for shoes with a good cushion, but the traction is too hard sometimes lol, I tripped my first time using these, everything else is pretty much decent, this shoe is good for outdoors and indoors just not the best cushion

Have had these versions of Kyries for the past 5 years and they have lasted me so long after extensive use and the grip and materials continue to stay solid. If they were still available I would 100% pick them up again.

The traction was good after being broken in (which took about 3 months) but does pick up dust easily. The cushioning was terrible and stiff as a rock. Wouldn’t recommend this shoe to anyone.

After the break-in period, the traction got pretty good but not as good as in the Flytrap 2.

The rubber took a little to break-in but after that, the traction was solid on clean courts. On dusty courts, you need to wipe frequently to avoid sliding out.

The lateral containment is very good and the cushioning is super low-to-the-ground which offsets the rounded outsole on lateral cuts.

No heel slippage, no side-to-side movement on the footbed, and I never felt unstable on lateral or linear movements.
