Nike Kyrie III

Maximilian said:

Got my Kyrie 3s today and after reading all the reviews/ comments, I compared them to my Kyrie 2s.

In the 1, 2 and 3 I have a 9.5, all shoes feel snug, the 3 actually feels snug the most, but the shoe is also brand new, so that might be a reason.

The laces of the 3 are actually ok lengthwise, you just need to use all available wholes. I always tie my shoes pretty strongly.

I really liked that the 3 has a pretty strong ankle support, despite not having a strap. I wore the left shoe of the 3 and the right shoe of the 2 to get a better feeling for comaprison.

The 2 has a more round shaped sole, while the 3 is more edgy/ sharper, the sole of the 3 feels like a combination of the 1 and 2. The 3 is also wider in the forefoot, just like the 1s were.

The 3 felt just a little bit lighter than the 2.

Designwise I really like the 3s, but I do also really like the 2s.

What I like most from getting a first impression of the 3s is that there is no mentioning of Kyrie's jersey number on the shoe, I like these little sharp edges on the shoe, the big Nike swooshes actually do look good, normally I do not like the super big Nike logos, when it is a players' signature shoe and finally the comfort feeling was very positive.

What I dislike is the wide forefoot area, was not a big fan of that on the 1s either.

The black ice colorway hits the spot in my opinion!

Next monday I will have about 2 hours time to test the Basketball specs of the 3 and then I will share my experience, also in regard to the 2s.

Balled in my KD9's for the first time since getting the Kyries and I feel like I wasted $120. Maybe it's just the way I play. The Kyries feel so stiff and clunky as hell.

Pretty sure the KD9's are one of best releases of 2016.  Great performance shoe.  

Trying to find the Summer Pair on the cheap.

yes you are right, I actually meant that it is not visible on the upper of the shoe!

Definitely had the potential but I've blown through 2 zoom bags on the 9. (That little piece that holds the 2 bags together will rip, causing a hole to form this the air escaping)
Nike should have made the 2 separate zoom bags or made the little price stronger. Other than that KD 9 is best

I've played 50+ times in my USA colorway and mine's been fine, it seems like certain colorways are more prone to this for some reason which is super strange

My legs feel dead after playing in them. The lack of cushion is ridiculous
