Add him to the other 2 reviewers of the Kyrie Low that say the XDR model rubber is not what you would expect from traditional xdr rubber. He thinks it's just a coating material at this point. The other 2 reviewers noted it as well, that you wouldn't expect the tread of the lows to hold up outdoors.
He also talks similarly as the one reviewer Marches, about how he likes the cushion setup better on the lows. And like me, he also felt the zoom on the 8s - you can't even feel it.
He seems to like the lows but he does go through all the positives and negatives in his view.
All I know is, the 8s that I have, for them to have zoom in them, I don't feel jack. They feel Freak-level low.
I'm sure I'm forgetting something else so definitely watch the video and decide for yourself, but he also thinks there are a couple of sharp points on the heel counter that may prove painful over time.
I'm more conflicted than ever
