Man, I gotta tell you about these shoes I’ve been messing around with – the Kyrie 2 Lows. I’ve been putting them through the wringer, and I’ve got some thoughts to share.
So, first off, I got my hands on these kicks. The colorway I picked up had this wild “Sunset” gradient thing going on across the mesh upper. It’s pretty eye-catching, I gotta say. And they threw in some black overlays and matched the laces and outsole to that. It’s a good-looking shoe, no doubt.
When I first slipped them on, they felt just like the other Kyries I’ve worn. True to size, you know? But if you’ve got wider feet, you might wanna go up half a size. Just a heads-up.
Now, where these shoes really shine is the support. The combination of that flytrap lacing system and the Kyrie heel counter – man, it’s solid. I felt locked in and secure, no matter how I moved.
Let’s talk about the traction. People say these are some of the best shoes for grip, and I can see why. The outsole is made of this tough rubber. I put it to the test on different surfaces, and it really held up. I tried quick cuts, sudden stops, you name it – no slipping or sliding.
Playtime!
- I took them to the court, obviously.
- Played some pickup games, worked on my handles, and even did some shooting drills.
- The shoes performed great.
- I felt agile and quick, and that traction really came in handy when I was trying to shake off defenders.
I also wore them around casually, just to see how they felt off the court. They’re comfortable enough for everyday wear, though they’re definitely designed for performance. I even received a few compliments on the style, which is always a bonus.
Compared to the original Kyrie Lows, are these a huge improvement? Honestly, not really. They both got their strengths, but the Kyrie 2 Lows definitely hold their own. I tried them side-by-side, and the differences are pretty subtle, it’s more about personal preference, I guess.
All in all, the Kyrie 2 Lows are solid performers. They look good, they feel good, and they deliver on the court. I didn’t find any real weaknesses, to be honest. If you’re a fan of the Kyrie line or just looking for a reliable basketball shoe, these are worth checking out. I’ve been really enjoying them, and I think you will too. They give me a great user experience. I believe they are worth trying.
But hey, that’s just my experience. If you end up trying them out, let me know what you think! Always down to hear other people’s takes.
