Nike Kyrie Flytrap 3 Review

Pros:
Very affordable
Cons:
Terrible cushioning

Performance of the Nike Kyrie Flytrap 3:

At a retail price of only $80, the Nike Kyrie Flytrap 3 is a very affordable budget shoe. Does it perform equally well as more expensive shoes? After the break-in period, the traction is pretty good but it can't live up to the grip of the Flytrap 2. The cushioning is almost non-existent: it's super hard with barely any impact protection. The materials feel cheap in-hand but get the job done. The very tight fit and low-to-the-ground cushioning provide a supportive and stable shoe. Overall, the Nike Kyrie Flytrap 3 might be for you if you don't care about cushioning or you are looking for a cheap outdoor shoe.

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.

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 Mesh upper is thin and feels really flimsy and cheap. The Flytrap 3 is a budget shoe and it really shows.

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.
