Nike Kyrie 6 Review
Pros:
Amazing traction
Nike Zoom Turbo cushioning
Cons:
Runs smaller than other Kyries
Performance of the Nike Kyrie 6:
The traction of the Kyrie signature series is always great, and the Kyrie 6 is no different as you get amazing stopping power in every direction.
The Phylon cushioning in the heel of the Kyrie 6 feels a lot softer than in previous models and the Zoom Turbo in the forefoot has a nice bounce to it.
The materials are soft, comfortable, and provide a lot of support and lockdown for quick moves and crossovers.
Overall, the Kyrie 6 feels like an evolution of the Kyrie 5 with a lot of small improvements that make up a great shoe - probably the best Kyrie so far!

I really liked the Kyrie 6, this shoe feels and plays like a Kyrie. The only downsides are the slight bulkiness and the traction on dusty courts.

The Kyrie 6 is one of the best all-around shoes I’ve played in for a long time. It reminds me of the Hyperdunk line as it will work for every player type.

The Nike Kyrie 6 is an impressive performance shoe. It feels quick and provides great responsiveness. The cushion is bouncy in the forefoot while still feeling low to the ground, and the traction is amazing. There really aren't many weaknesses in the Kyrie 6.

One of the best shoe I have ever worn.
Its cushion is amazing, I'm even still using these Kyrie to play volleyball, because they protect you from the biggest jump impacts.
Sticking to basketball, I used them in very dusty courts, and I promise these worked really nice.
The only problems were related to materials. The shoelaces were problematic since day 1, and I had to change the foodbed like 3 times.
Sometimes I also felt like my feet was a bit heavy with these on.

I like the fact that this shoe had great traction even on a dusty floor. I really didnt hate anything about this shoe other than the strap getting clingy to the shoe laces. Even on dusty floors it didnt pick up any dust on the sole. This shoe could be use for anyone but mainly guards or quick bigs. But this shoe really surprised me and it will be in my rotation.

Kyrie six is a pretty good performer for me, there’s a few minor cons to it but in my opinion, the pros in my opinion make them easy to ignore. The sizing was a little tricky, but going up half a size for me was good. I wouldn’t recommend this shoe for wide footers, if you really want them I recommend trying them on for they’re pretty narrow.

One of the best shoes I’ve ever played in. I love how it has an extra protection in the front-inside part, which will be very helpful when you slide the back foot to stop on a dime after a crossover. Nice court feel and traction. Worst thing for me is probably the durability of the shoe, but it’s just OK.

Very good shoe for point guards, that are shifty and have a playstyle inspired by Kyrie Irving, really amazing traction with good cushion and solid support, really recommend for quick guards that like to run on fastbreaks and breake some ankles on offense.

The multi-angle traction pattern performs freaking amazing on clean courts. On dusty courts, you will need a slight wipe from time to time. I'd rate this traction pattern #2 in the Kyrie line.

The traction takes a few days to break in but then you get an incredible stop on clean courts. On dusty courts, you pick up dust quickly and lose a lot of traction. The outsole is also pretty hard to wipe.

Ballistic mesh is used on the upper. It's comfortable straight out of the box, but it does not stretch performance-wise. This means the sizing and fit remain consistent over time.
