Nike Kyrie Low 5 Review

Pros:
The traction is amazing
Cushion is balanced
Cons:
Materials do not feel premium
Narrow fit can cause pressure on the foot

Performance of the Nike Kyrie Low 5:

The Nike Kyrie Low 5's traction is the best performance feature of the shoe. It sticks to all types of court conditions. Nike uses a full-length Phylon and a forefoot Zoom unit to provide a balanced feeling cushion. The materials are similar to the Kyrie Infinity, but they feel less premium. Reviewers agree that the shoe fits narrow, but it doesn't hinder performance. The narrow fit helps contribute to the support of the shoe. It keeps your foot locked in and secure. Overall, the Kyrie Low 5 is an improvement from the previous Kyrie Lows and is a solid performer for the price.

The Nike Kyrie Low 5 might be my favourite shoe in the Kyrie lineup. Its traction, comfort, and support were fantastic for me. The only drawback is the breathability.

Pros: - Traction is great - Lightweight Cons: - Little support around the ankle, I owned the low 4’s and found they were much better at supporting my ankles. I’ve had slight tweaks to my ankles a couple times, which I don’t think would’ve happened if I had the 4’s on. These shoes are great. They are much like the low 4’s in their traction, cushion, durability, size etc. I like the 4’s but really dislike their weight. I’ve enjoyed the 5’s more, but run the risk of tweaking an ankle.

The kyrie low 5 is probably one of the best budget shoes I've ever tried and continues to be a great performer. The traction bites hard but not too hard right out of the box (the box is cool too) and works fine on dusty courts. The materials hold firm against consistent movement and I have not seen any tears or breaking points after three months (keep in mind that I only play indoors with these). I recommend this shoe to any guard (like myself) because it's light and easy to go from step to step

All Kyrie's shoes are reliable and so it's Kyrie low 5.It has and amazing traction and it's super easy to wipe the dust,cushion is alright the same goes with the support and the fit.The materials don't feel premium but that ain't a problem for me.Its a very good shoe that comes in an affordable price 110 bucks.I recommend it for quick players who want a responsive shoe no matter the position.If u are a Kyrie fan or u like low top shoes with great traction go for it.

I think it's a full-length Phylon that provides adequate impact protection. The forefoot Zoom unit also gives the shoe some balance.

The Phylon offers some compression in the heel, and the Zoom bag in the forefoot has a springy feeling. The impact protection could be better, though.
