Designed for agility and control, it features a responsive NitroEdge foam midsole, a supportive midfoot strap, and a durable rubber outsole with multidirectional traction. The design reflects Kyrie’s heritage and artistic expression, with colorways like “Artist On Court” and “Chief Hélà” paying homage to his Native American roots and personal journey.

Description

👣 Foot Shape Fit: The shoe design of the first generation of Irving shoes is relatively wide, making it friendlier for users with wide or thick feet. Those with narrower feet might find the forefoot area somewhat spacious; it’s recommended to try them on and choose the appropriate size or wear thicker elite socks to improve the fit.

🛠️ Midsole Technology, Durability, and Cushioning Performance: The midsole uses full-length nitrogen technology, providing cushioning that can satisfy most guards and forwards, making it suitable for various courts and playing styles.

🌐 Midsole Torsion Resistance Performance: The use of a midfoot carbon plate provides excellent torsion resistance, ensuring stability and support during movement, which is ideal for quick moves and breakthroughs.

🏗️ Outsole Technology and Durability Performance: The outsole features a large area of upturned spherical design with thick rubber, offering outstanding grip. However, its performance may be average on dusty indoor courts; overall durability is good, making it more suitable for outdoor use.

🚀 Anti-Rollover Performance: The anti-rollover angle design is not protruding, and the outer material is relatively soft, leaving room for deformation to match movements, providing good anti-rollover protection.

👟 Upper Wrap and Support Performance: The upper uses a Velcro strap design to enhance wrapping, but the forefoot area may not fit well for users with narrower feet. The sidewall-integrated TPU provides additional support, offering good overall stability.

🏀 Suitable Audience: Ideal for basketball enthusiasts seeking practical performance and comfort, especially those with wide or thick feet. Not very suitable for players who seek extreme court feel and flexibility.

🔄 Pros and Cons: Pros: The shoe has a highly recognizable design, equipped with full-length nitrogen technology and a carbon plate, excellent cushioning and torsion resistance, strong outsole grip, suitable for various courts.
