Nike Kyrie 7 Review
Pros:
Very supportive
Lightweight
Cons:
Inconsistent traction
Performance of the Nike Kyrie 7:
The traction works well on clean courts but on dusty courts, you will need to wipe from time to time. Overall, the traction performance is a slight downgrade from the Kyrie 6.
The Zoom Turbo unit in the forefoot feels responsive, bouncy, and provides some nice court feel and the cushioning in the heel feels much better than in the Kyrie 5 and 6.
The materials are much more minimal than the Kyrie 6 with no forefoot strap and perform really well overall.
The support is very good for lateral containment and stability. The Kyrie 7 also provides decent ankle support.
Overall the Kyrie 7 is a great overall performer with some upgrades over the Kyrie 6.

You are getting a very solid performer for $130. My only gripe with the shoe was the traction on dust, but overall the Kyrie 7 is a great hoop shoe.

The Kyrie is a very dependable sneaker. There really isn't much that it truly excels at and there are better options. It is one of the most consistent lines Nike has to offer. Overall, the shoe is going to do what you want and need it to do.

Traction has a good bite and feels good, but on dusty courts, it definitely pick up dust. As you wipe it, the bite suddenly gets better. Fit is not an issue at all. However the torsional support is almost zero. After a long play, your foot may hurt. This doesn't happened to me but its not an insurance. Materials are dope. Air zoom turbo unit is insane. It give you enough power to speed up and jump. Impact protection is just normal. It is a great shoe for 1-2s and light and fast 3s.

Like all kyries, the 7's are a top performer. The zoom turbo is key for great footwork and pushes you forward with every step. The traction is usually trustworthy, the only problem is dust every now and then. The weight was perfect and allowed faster movement, paired with the traction, the 7's are great for running and takeoff. The uppers did start to rip but it does not change the playability of the shoe. Overall, it's a very efficient shoe for efficient players.

Performance-wise, and specially if you play indoors, the Kyrie 7s are amazing. The traction is absolutely nuts, that’s the aspect I would highlight most about this shoe. They are lightweight and feel quick and close to the ground, so they are specially good for quick guards. The problem is if you play outdoors, the outsole was destroyed after a few pickup games outside.
So: the Kyries are great but only if you play on wood.

Love the shoe. My whole basketball career I've worn kyries and out of all of them, the kyrie 7 is the best. It continues to have top-notch traction and support and keeps you feeling swagged out. The only honest downside is it's not as comfortable(cushion) as Kd's. To emphasize, the shoe deserves a 9 and up rating and should be loved by anyone who puts them on! Highly recommend!

it was great from the second I put it on. Very comfortable, great lockdown, great response & I love the colorways. It's one of Kyries best signature by looks & performance. I would recommend it for more shiftier bball players like guards, but anyone can wear it. The air zoom really helps & the speed I can achieve is great. The shoe is light & I overall love it.

The traction pattern is spread out so it doesn't pick up that much dust. The grip and bite are pretty nice but not as good as in the Kyrie 6.

This traction reminded me of tire tread and it performs well, but not as well as the Kyrie 6. I had no issues on clean courts, but I had to wipe on dusty courts.

The traction has deep grooves and blades, but the bite was not as aggressive as previous iterations of the shoe. It still performs very well in all court conditions.

For the third year in a row, there is a Zoom Turbo in the forefoot. It provides a great court feel and is very responsive, but it does lack impact protection.

Just like previous Kyrie models, the mesh is soft and flexible right out of the box with no break in required. The materials are not the most premium, but they performed well on the court.

The moulded fins on both sides of the shoe help to keep you locked in. There's also a wide base on the shoe to help the shoe feel stable.
