Nike Kyrie Low 4 Review
Pros:
Plays fast and low to the ground
Traction is top-notch
Cons:
Cushioning isn't the best.
There's a little bit of heel slippage
Performance of the Nike Kyrie Low 4:
Nike did not include any Zoom air units in the cushion of the Kyrie Low 4 but instead chose to feature Cushlon. Reviewers agreed it felt nice but wasn't up to par with other iterations of the foam setup.
The traction is the real star of the show. It performs very well indoors on both dusty and clean courts.
Materials on the Kyrie Low 4 feel pretty nice for the shoe being a budget model but reviewers had some concerns about the breathability.
Considering the price, the Nike Kyrie Low 4 is a decent option if speed and responsiveness are the main things you look for in a shoe.

Although I was disappointed in the cushion, the Nike Kyrie Low 4 still provides a smooth, lightweight experience. The traction, fit, and support combine to make this shoe a decent performer at a reasonable price.

The Nike Kyrie Low 4 is a pretty low to the ground, responsive setup, but doesn't provide much bounce or compression. It plays very fast and the shoe itself is very lightweight thanks to the thin materials. It's still a shoe I really liked playing in despite being a bit disappointed in the cushion.

The Nike Kyrie Low 4 is an overall good performer. One thing to note is that the shoe isn't the best for impact protection, but it does offer a lot of responsiveness, and the support is great.

Kyrie Low 4’s are a good pickup for indoor use. The traction is great and won’t disappoint. I always felt locked down and well supported in the shoe. However, the shoe’s lower price limits the cushion and durability. Once the shoe bottoms out, I had sore feet from the thin cushion. I was suprised when I found a small tear in the shoe a few months after their first use. Lastly, I find the weight of the shoe a bit extra. They’re a great cheap shoe, but sacrifice some comfort and durability.

This shoe had me feeling fairly bouncy and it had great stability and containment, although the cushion isnt great. There was some heel slippage but it was nothing too bad and was not a deal breaker, the traction is great on a clean indoor court but the durability was not great. I played on an outdoor court for a week and i ran through most of the outsole.

The traction is good but the longer I wore them it got worse and I played indoors. Cushion is not that good. It is responsive and low to ground however impact protection is not good. My foot felt really supported in them and I did not experience heel slippage. I would say that for the price tag it is a very good performer.

Its is a pretty solid shoe with OK traction. But you can see the little hump near the heel this part is really hard and I almost always leave practice/games with blisters on my heel. Other than that your getting what you payed for

I absolutely love this shoe. Super responsive cushioning. The cushlon was pretty soft and offered good impact protection, but didn't feel slow at all. Overall great performer.

The Kyrie Low 4 has the same outsole that's used on the Kyrie 7. That means you can expect the same consistency and reliability as well.

The traction is amazing, top-tier traction. The pattern and rubber compound are exactly the same as on the Kyrie 7. It bites really hard on indoor courts.

The traction pattern on the Kyrie Low 4 is exactly the same as the Kyrie 7. They perform the same, so you may need some wiping every now and then.

The Cushlon used is dense, and there's only a small amount of Zoom coverage. This means there isn't much impact protection but, there is plenty of court feel.

The Cushlon used in the Kyrie Low 4 feels different than the Cushlon used in the KD 14 and the Kobe 5 Protro. There isn't as much heel compression and is stiffer than both of the other mentioned pairs.

There's a full-length Cushlon midsole and a Zoom unit in the forefoot, which is a bit of a letdown. It's a firm setup, and I could barely feel the Zoom unit.

I really like the materials, but the quality isn't the best. It's a thin textile material that feels very soft and minimal.

The support in this shoe is fantastic. With a proper fit, the materials and the low cut help give you a secure ride in all directions.

I experienced a little bit of heel slippage since there isn't much padding in the heel area. It wasn't a deal-breaker, but I just didn't quite feel locked down. Lateral containment had zero issues though.

I had no problems with support. There was no movement of my foot on the footbed. I never felt unstable, especially with the wide base.

The strength of the upper leaves little room for stretch, so going true to size will help provide extra room for toe splay in the forefoot.

The shoe fits snugly and leans toward the narrow side. It caused a bit of discomfort in the forefoot, but other than that, the shoe does fit nicely around my foot.

The TPU forefoot overlays could potentially cause issues for those with wider feet. So, you may want to go up half a size.

I recommend going up half a size unless you're looking for a snug fit. I personally like a snug fit, but I think it might cause some discomfort for people who don't.

Going true to size is perfectly fine if you have normal feet.
