Kyrie 2 Official Thread

[D_eezus]

If that isn't the actual 2, I think it'd be cool if they made a kyrie mid with more spikes on the back. Not just on the heel cup like they did for the 1's.

NOOOOO! Only way i woulf approve this is if thet find a way to prevent chipping

These are going to be Nike's best sig this upcoming basketball season. Keeping my fingers crossed they stay under the radar.

From the pic above they look like the kyrie 1 with the kd 4 strap added on them.

 

[lukeskywalker]

Heel swoosh does spoil them!
Looks like a Lebron 12, soldier, mashup!

I agree they will probably be the best Nike sig shoe but keep in mind we still haven't seen the Kobe XI's yet.
But as far as them staying under the radar...I seriously doubt that because of the price point alone. I honestly expecting these to sell better than the ones because more people are on Kyrie's now also.

Everbody keep in mind too @baltsneakershow said there will also be a Kyrie 2 Elite this year! For those who may have forgotten.

I don't like the tongue but I'll be watching

I was thinking the same thing tongue looks weird

 

[lil bushroot]

I'm excited about these..way nicer than the 1s...the 1s were classic like the first lebron zooms

 

[thapointguy]

Swoosh will need to get use to. Rather have it in the conventional spot.

Yeah @GrizzlyAnimal these are about to be REAL serious

 

[raptorsundefeated]

I'm in for the Kyrie 2.

But man unless you're playing on a pristine court, that traction pattern looks like you're going to be on skates :x

 

[GrizzlyAnimal]

I wonder if a lot of people will buy the first cw just because what happened with the dreams  

 

[doxen5703]

Hopefully we get more responsive Zoom. But I'm absolutely in on these.

The first color that drops on December 15, almost sounds like another Dream colorway for the 2's when you read the description

Kinda feeling these... the 1s looked too much like they were for lil kids, with the shark teeth and spikes on the back. These also look like kids shoes but i like the KD4 strap... the right CW may get me. I agree the traction looks suspect

 

[th3anonymous1]

Love me a well placed strap. Will be my first Kyries just not that CW. I can imagine some pretty dope ID options for these as well. Can't go wrong with black and gold.

I think they will stick. The grooves are pretty wide so dust will not get clogged easily. The durability might be an issue though. Also the edges of the outsole on the forefoot is too rounded, might be prone to rollovers. I suppose that's wear the strap comes into play.

 

[aNYone]

They're nice but that Kyrie sign is to damn big.

Traction on the 1 gave me some problems, I think from clogging up w/ dust quickly.  Definitely most curious about traction on these 2s.  Fit/lockdown looks like it should be solid.  And what someone mentioned above, hoping that zoom is improved a bit.

 

[Magic33]

I love the price jump. I guess this means it will be $150 or $160 in two years.

 

[therealrell]

Terrible

 

[GrizzlyAnimal]

That strap added $15
