Ah right. Thx. So is that better or worse than these? At least the phylon doesn’t bottom out like the lunar, no?

He never really does, he brought those protro 4s with his own money.

Nike just gonna let this pass over like the AJ15s. Were those readily available at outlets? These will sell regardless and they still make a profit. It's a sad reality, their first priority aren't the consumers. There's a next person that will buy something and they know you'll come back eventually.

If there is one person who will be all over this it's Luke Ridnour -- seemed like it was the only shoe he balled in even after it was well out of production.

Yeah, from what I've gathered from watching over the years he's been cut off by numerous brands because he doesn't placate them. Jordan Brand, Nike, the Eastbay deal...no more freebies.
At least he got to play at Jordan's house...that had to have been surreal.

He doesn't care and I'm glad. He calls out all of these brands on their BS. I respect him for that. Seems like an honest respectable guy.

Here's a segment taken from this article: http://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/...-went-wrong-pg-25-shoe-zion-williamson-injury
"However, all shoe brands will custom-make models for NBA players that require more support or other modifications. Joel Embiid, who wears Under Armour, requires added collar foam and padding for comfort, along with added reinforcement layers in the forefoot for lateral support."
I would guess forefoot or full length Zoom.

Got a 20 percent off code and free next day air code for the ordeal from yesterday when the chat rep said they still had full length zoom. Sometimes it pays to knowingly ask the wrong people haha.
Gonna return these after I wear the hell out of them. Ain’t nothing to Nike so f it.

Definitely understand this, it was brought to my attention a week ago the kyrie 5 pe has some sort of plastic shank plate underneath the soul that not found in regular retail consumer kyrie 5.
Nike needs to open up Nike ID basketball not only to cosmetic changes but internal customization. I’ll glad pay more for full length zoom air oppose to changing up a colorway.
Hopefully they take notes and fix this problem cause this bad press for them going forward.

The Kobe 8s has something similar, as did the 7s, where you could choose a zoom insert, a full length lunar insert, etc. I don’t know how it would affect their production lines and margins, but being able to add heel zoom into the Kylie 5 would be dope.

Sadly I think ID/“Nike By You” is moving away from this... there don’t seem to be many shoes offering these type of design choices. Even the color/material choices are way more limited in general

Not surprised that PE's had added support or better materials that catered to that specific athlete.
