The new Nike Kyrie 5 is still the same as Benjamin Nethongkome, the designer of the previous generation of shoes, and the new generation of boots features a new wrap system inspired by flycatchers, designed to allow the feet to be tightly coupled with the midsole cushioning system to expand the rebound response at the beginning of the forefoot of the foot. This wrapping design undoubtedly reduces the delay when starting the power for the speedy defender, making each breakthrough more threatening. In terms of midsole, it is also a breakthrough technology. Equipped with the extra-large Nike Air Zoom Turbo air cushion technology, the pressure generated during exercise can be evenly distributed throughout the forefoot to adapt to a fast-changing defender like Irving. The well-designed lines on the air cushion are also designed to ensure that the feet fit better with it.

Great shoe, look and feel are both excellent. Really high quality and durable so far. I where a size 13 and my shoes were spot on. They seem like they would be tight putting them on but once my foot slid into them they were amazing. They do not run too small as a previous review states. You should be fine with your normal size.

I love the shoes but couldn't get them on. When I did the width was super tight. I have worn Nike in size 11 for the past 20 years and have never had a pair fit like this. Super disappointed. Shoe runs VERY small. Very uncomfortable and hard in my opinion. I won't buy Kyrie's again.

One of the best Kyrie models to date. Hands down. And I loved the Kyrie 4. A must have from a styling standpoint or on court performance. I have the Taco and Just Do It editions. If you're older and your feet have widened a bit then get 1 size up. The shroud over the bridge of the foot is fixed and not adjustable as it appears. It WILL put pressure on the bridge of your foot if you're someone who's foot has widened a bit. If it were flexible or stretchable the even people with wider feet would be able to wear their true size.

For used shoes these were in pretty decent condition to wear casually. Only complaint is that they smelt a little bit but if you leave the shoes out for an hour it wasnt a really big problem. Overall it was great and the price wasnt bad either.
The shoe is nice. It’s increadibly light and has great cushion. The insole is memory foam ish like the ADs. Shoe does run tight. Most kyries do. If you have wide feet. Not a shoe for you. Overall they are worth the money.
My son has worn these every day for 5 months. They fit him great and are very comfortable. He plays basketball daily so I really didn't expect them to hold up this long. If his foot wasn't getting too big he could have easily worn these for another several months. I would and most likely will buy again in a bigger size and try a different color.
I just received my Kyrie 5 BHM last night and I have got to say that I was really worried after reading all the reviews that the shoe would not fit or be too tight...Well guess what?! IT IS PERFECT. I have never been so in love with the look, feel, and just overall the style of the shoe. It was spot on lockdown, cushioning zoom turbo in the forefoot is just awesome... I play indoor volleyball and this shoe has just jumped to the top of my list. I am planning to grab the Chinese New Year colorway next!
I bought these shoes at DICKs on Monday and they fit great. A little tight, but I figured they would break in. First game I play and the laces holding string by the toes rips 15 minutes into the game. I would not recommend these shoes at all. Poor quality.
These shoes were THE thing my son wanted for Christmas this year. He is 12 years old, 5'5", 100#, very fit. NOT a big kid. He was so super excited to get this box on Christmas morning, and immediately super disappointed when he couldn't even get his foot in the shoe. The plastic plate that covers the laces restrict the shoe from opening wide enough for his foot to go in. I have a very narrow foot and I could barely force my foot in these shoes. Thanks for ruining Christmas with a ridiculous design :(
I have never slid on a basketball court so much In my life. I have had the Kyrie since the 1st iteration. These are by far the worst performance wise. Literally Zero Traction... How did Nike go backwards making a shoe?
