    I still have 2 pairs of these that where deadstock until recently and it’s STILL an amazing performer, cushioning has definitely gotten better and you can feel it with these, they’re pretty durable and I’ve used them outdoors, sucks that we’ll most likely never have a retro of these, definitely definitely one of the GOAT basketball shoes

    Solid video homie! I remember having the Kyrache colorway but they fit small/narrow on me, so they killed my feet. Casual wise, I should've kept them since the cushion was tolerable for lifestyle wear haha.

    I always have this in my gym bag. How long has that been? I don't know. I don't care. The moment I slip out in any shoe I am using, I always find myself switching to my Kyrie 2 Infernos and just ball. Fit and traction, that's really all that should matter in any basketball shoe.

    Literally had the same pair since 2016 (though I took probably 3 year hiatus from bball in that time). These are STILL holding up, though I'm finally looking for a new pair of ball shoes. Got any suggestions for shoes similar to these? I already looked into just getting another pair on Goat or StockX, but it's just too damn expensive for something that's almost 8 years old. Would love anyone's advice! I like traction and court feel the most.
