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

Hey, check out the Kyrie Low 5s – they're super cool! They look awesome with cool colors and patterns. When you wear them, you feel like a real basketball pro.
They're low and light, so you can move fast on the court. Plus, they're comfy with soft cushioning. And the grip is crazy good, so you won't slip when you're doing fancy moves.
You can wear them for games or just hanging out with friends. They're the best!
So, if you wanna rock on the court and look cool, get the Kyrie Low 5

First thing I noticed was the traction, this is the best shoe I’ve ever worn traction wise it didn’t matter how dusty the court was, it would bite right through the dust. The cushion was a tiny problem as there was little impact protection but if your a lightweight guard you should be ok. Was pretty durable.

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.
