Nike Kyrie Infinity

[thebagman]

Hey brother here’s my opinion:

They are trash unfortunately. The fit and cushioning is top tier but after atleast 12 hours of play the traction has been horrible. Idk if it’s the specific N7 colorway that’s like this but to me they are not going to be used much because the traction is non existent except on extremely clean courts, which 95% of the gyms I hoop at are not. I’m actually planning to send back to Nike because of it.

The Kyrie 8 is the best basketball shoe for a guard I’ve played in since the Kobe 8. What the hell

Dang - I had the opposite - I was gripping everything at my 24. However, air conditions (yes, even inside) affect our court in a HUGE way. It’s been a little humid lately and the court has been killer. Just enough to add some grip but not enough to be wet, but when it’s extremely dry our court gets slick (hasn’t been refinished in over 5 years). I’m on my third pair and loving this shoe. I can see this color picking up dust though (N7) - that gum sole does seem tackier than my Sue’s and CNY.

Same. The N7 pair had better traction than my Keep Sue Fresh one. Weird the other dude had a bad experience…

I also had a bad experience which is why I stopped posting in here. I got the PF versions from id4 and love the colorway but I play on outdoor courts and even just inside trying them on they have the cushion of Craig’s house shoes in Friday. Or Boyz in the Hood. Or both.

I am always flabbergasted when I hear other guards on here saying its the greatest shoe since “x”. I legit must have a faulty pair with 2 popped air bags. But there is no squeaking or hint of that. I am just mystified.

No issues with traction here. Got IDs tho, no retail pairs.

My friend has the 8’s, and he described them at, “pillows for your feet”. He also had no issues with traction.

I will most likely be copping the red/black colorway once my 7’s run out.

I’m kind of kicking myself for not going with a solid rubber outsole version as I feel like that would fix the problem and these would be goat status shoes. Idk my experience with the N7 has been super disappointing only with the traction.

I may just keep for a little longer while I can under the return policy and see if the traction gets better. If not I will likely return and cop the KD15 instead. For me personally I think the KD14 had godly traction and I’m expecting the same for the 15.

Uhhhh

Wore my Infinity 7s today for the first time and I regret going tts, instead of a half size down.

These things run really big.

Didn’t notice it until I wore them for an extended period.

 

[Davey Magoo]

Also the outsole is very squeaky.

 

[James_O]

Infinity 7s

They are 8’s.

 

[rbk93]

Any reason to why the Kyrie signature line is ending next year?

 

[Davey Magoo]

They are 8’s.

Well they’re damn nice shoes whatever they are.

…they’re just too damn big.

It was hilarious. I just got back from a basketball camp, and the director said that Nike was ending Kyrie’s like after the 7, to make room for the Morants. Maybe he meant to say the 8’s?

He also said that a girls basketball was 27.5 inches, so maybe he was jus trippin.

I went up half a size and they're still too tight don't know what y'all are talking about.

 

[rbk93]

Never tried on a pair, but most customers at work
said it’s fine length wise but definitely narrow as far as width.

 

[grittyman]

There will never be a consensus on this question because everyone’s foot is different.

No offense to anyone but I think these are pretty easily found in stores these days, best bet is to try em in person and see what length works for you.

If that Nike dude really said that that’s kinda crazy. They must really be finna still make the same type of shoes (Kyrie Low 4 esque shoes) with a new logo

Maybe your TTS is off.

Dumb question. I couldn't find any info on previous pages but did the Purple Amethyst pair release in mens??? Can only see them available in GS sizes.

They are available in men's sizes, but I don't think they've been released in the US yet.

They got them on stockx, some sizes for under retail.
