Nike Kyrie Low 3 Review
Pros:
Great traction
Nice materials
Cons:
Minimal impact protection
Very narrow
Performance of the Nike Kyrie Low 3:
The traction on the Kyrie Low 3 uses the same pattern as the previous model and it works very well. The bite is great on clean courts and pretty good on dust.
Nike also reuses the cushion setup from the Kyrie Low 2 and it is underwhelming. The two Zoom units aren't very bouncy or comfortable but they provide a lot of court feel and responsiveness.
The materials are an upgrade over the Kyrie Low 2 and are better for containment and comfort.
The fit is similar to other Kyrie models - snug and narrow. It is best to try these on before buying.
The support is great and features everything you need to feel locked in.
Overall the Kyrie Low 3 is pretty similar to the last model, but with upgraded materials and design.

The Kyrie Low 3 retails for $110 and I think you get a pretty solid performer for the price. The only issues I had with these were the narrowness because of my slightly wide feet and the lack of impact protection.

Overall the Kyrie Low 3 is very similar to the Kyrie Low 2, but slightly improved. I liked the materials better and they were more comfortable.

Traction’s great, no in-shoe foot movement, didn’t take much time to break in, never felt unsafe in the shoe, took over a year for tread to even start to wear (that’s with using shoes in or outdoors at the very least once a week sometimes more ). By far the best part of this shoe: the tread of this specific colorway glows in the dark!! Lol, seriously tho, this is a great shoe for indoors and the occasional outdoors game

The Kyrie 3 low was super fun to play in! The traction was great no matter the conditions! The only downside however was they felt a little heavy. Would highly recommend for guards and wing players!

The Kyrie Low 3 uses the same traction pattern as the Kyrie Low 2 and the traction was great. They gripped the floor very well on clean courts and performed well on some dusty courts.

The traction pattern is exactly the same as the Kyrie Low 2 and should perform the same. The rubber was a bit stickier on the 3 which made for a nice bite.

The cushioning uses a full-length Phylon midsole and a Zoom unit in the heel and forefoot. The cushion is pretty disappointing because the Zoom units are very muted and don't provide a lot of bounce. This is a responsive setup without much impact protection.

The cushion setup is also the same as the Kyrie Low 2. It's not great, but Kyrie's have never had really good cushion. The heel and forefoot Zoom unit were a little better than the Low 2, but still not great.

The upper is very supportive and offers a lot of containment which is a decent upgrade from the Kyrie Low 2. On foot, the materials do the job just fine.

I think the materials are an upgrade over the Kyrie Low 2. The upper felt a lot softer and more comfortable which was nice. The strap also looks pretty similar to the Kyrie 6, but still doesn't do much.

The support is actually really good. I had no heel slippage, side-to-side movement on the footbed, or lateral instability even without an outrigger.

The lateral containment is very good and these are extremely wide to help with lateral stability. The heel counter is solid and should prevent any heel slippage.

The fit is very narrow similar to every other Kyrie model. There is not much dead space in the toe box and the materials laid nicely over my feet.

These fit exactly the same as the Kyrie Low 2 which was really snug and narrow. I think once these break in the fit will improve and loosen up a bit.
