Been working out in them for about a week now and every wear they are getting better. Seems like Nike’s best debut signature in a while. Only 2 issues for me were the cushion feeling super firm first wear. But after that they have felt amazing and the forefoot zoom turbo feels better and better after each wear.

Only other issue would be the horrific smell these have, they still reek of some like Chinese plastic glue. I’m assuming it’s the new “Opticast” uppers material. But wow they absolutely reek lol.

Saw these today randomly at Ross, thought it was super weird lol. Was going to pick these up at some point anyways, shame is an ugly ass color but for $35 can’t beat it.

I love pulling these out every now and again just to see how the stack up to my current shoes in rotation as I play pretty frequently. (Pick up 2-3 times a week and a men’s league game once every week), I’ve had these since I was in 8th grade, I’m 22 years old now and they still hold up. Contrary to popular belief the cushion has never been a problem for me in these. To be honest I’ve always thought the forefoot felt plush, then and now. The traction is still holding up unbelievably well. Lock down is other wordly, & thanks to the strap these never come untied. Obviously the Kyrie 2 isn’t the GOAT of all basketball shoes but i really think it might be my personal GOAT. Hoping to get many more years out of these beauts.

Paid 74 Cents for them at a Going Going Gone, horrible color but for 74 cents I’ll take it. Just happy to have a new pair of these never thought id see the day!
