Overview
Who should buy the Nike Kyrie 8
The 8th Nike Kyrie seems to be perfect for the following:
- Kyrie Irving fans
- Those who wear basketball shoes casually
Who should NOT buy the Nike Kyrie 8
Given its significant performance deficits, we cannot recommend the Nike Kyrie 8 to anyone who takes basketball seriously. Nike offers more playable options such as the Nike KD 14 and even the Kyrie 7.
Comfortable and smooth strides with the Kyrie 8
The upper material and midsole tooling ensured step-in comfort. They are also soft enough to keep the feet free from pain even when the shoes were worn the whole day.
The Nike Kyrie 8 also had a smooth heel-to-toe transition. The outsole was not clunky at all.
Fits most foot shapes
This Kyrie shoe has a versatile fit that suited almost all foot shapes. Even wide-footers can be accommodated.
The Kyrie 8 has a lot of support and stability issues
The Nike Kyrie 8 failed to lock the ankle securely.
Torsional rigidity was an issue as well.
