I honestly think you can switch it up like the flywire can go through the strap with the laces then you can also have them laces up with the strap over top of them I think it might be some Velcro involved lol just my prediction

How the KYRIE 5 Works
That technology Irving mentioned? It’s a new Nike Air Zoom unit engineered to help the All-Star guard play quicker and sharper. Benjamin Nethongkome, designer of the KYRIE 5, breaks down its three critical elements:
1. An articulated forefoot zoom bag This is a huge technological unlock for supporting guard play. Why? Because of its unique properties (see sidebar for more on this), the Air Zoom Turbo unit curves to wrap the bottom and sides of the foot. "In the Kyrie 5, it is distributed across the entire forefoot footbed, working with his quick-change-of-direction style of play. When he's banking, cutting, or attacking in drastic degrees, his foot will engage the Air Zoom Turbo unit providing responsiveness at all directions," explains Nethongkome.
2. A new containment system Inspired by a Venus Flytrap, this feature creates optimal containment above the Air Zoom Turbo unit. “The Flywire is arranged so that it locks the foot into the Air Zoom Turbo unit, and this amplifies the responsiveness of Zoom in the forefoot,” says Nethongkome. “We wanted it to be both beautiful and improve on fit and feel.”
3. A new traction pattern This draws direct inspiration from Irving. “The traction system for the KYRIE 5 creates stability through discreet geometries,” says Nethongkome. “Have you seen the Hamsa hand tattoo on his left arm? It's a symbol of protection for him, it kind of shields him from all the bad juju, and so it became the jump-off point for the shaping of the outsole patterns. He wants to have more than just a basketball shoe. And this allows us to apply more of his spirit throughout the shoe.”
Inside the New Nike Air Zoom Turbo
Specifically designed for quick start-and-stop play, the Nike Air Zoom Turbo is engineered to follow the curved shape of the KYRIE 5 outsole. This means that as a player rolls toward the basket, the cushioning responds with rapid energy return for all angles of attack. It works because of a game-changing new manufacturing method that creates flexibility in the Air unit via a series of welded channels. This allowed designers to manipulate the bag and form it to the foot and the contour of the shoe's banked tooling.

And this was when Kyrie’s signature became the clear cut top of the food chains. That zoom bag/tech looks enticing.

Meh. Stupid gimmick with changing the zoom shape and giving it a new name. Lol at "huge technological unlock" 
The shoe looks interesting but that shroud is stupid. Kids are gonna love these just because of the way the traction looks though
They also raised the price to 130$. In a few years Kyrie's gonna cost 160$
