Nike nike air cage court junior

The Nike nike air cage court junior nearly has the same tech specs as the previous Low release. You get most of the same performance with a change of materials.

Colorway: White/Game Royal/Medium Ash/Citron Tint

Release Date: 2022

Price: $120

Athlete: Kyrie Irving

I enjoyed playing in the Kyrie 8; it’s probably my favorite performance model of the year. The Kyrie 8 was a departure from the rest of the Kyrie signature line because it’s a very well-cushioned model. When I saw the nike air cage court junior, I thought it was just a low version of the Kyrie 8. Visually they’re very similar, something that hasn’t happened with the Kyrie Low line (until now).

Aesthetically, I think this was a good move. The Kyrie 8 is a very attractive model, and the nike air cage court junior just streamlined everything and made some slight improvements.

Performance-wise nike zoom bb roshe women. The nike air cage court junior switched out the cushioning from the signature model and reverted to the usual Kyrie Low setup: Zoom Air in the forefoot and a foam midsole. So, going into my testing, I wasn’t sure I would like this shoe. But let’s jump into the review and see how they held up (check the video above to see the short review)

The Nike nike air cage court junior is featured in kobe nike shox roadster blue cross shield federal, kobe Value, kobe Traction, kobe for Ankle Support, kobe for Low Tops, and air jordan 4 retro fire red for sale. It’s also one of the kobe shoes for jumping and one of the kobe basketball shoes for training.

Traction

The traction, as in the Kyrie 8, is excellent. They both have similar traction patterns, and this version was just as good. You get grippy multidirectional coverage that is perfect for the agile, streamlined look and feel of the shoe. You feel speedy and shifty in the shoe, and the traction pairs with that perfectly.

Cushion

The cushion is low profile and reactive. Very different from the Kyrie 8. This is not a bad thing necessarily or even a downgrade. It’s just a question of if this setup fits your playing style. This setup is optimal for court feel and moves like sprints, crossovers, speed changes, etc. Nike Dunk Low for Women.

nike pegasus lime green laces shoes. I liked the setup very much. But, I’ll reserve them for playing on parquet floors. I’m 6’3″, 230 lbs, so when I play outdoors, I need a bit more cushion, but I love playing low to the ground and feeling speedy.

Materials

The materials are almost the same as those on the Kyrie 8; there are just fewer of them. The shoe features a mainly textile upper, which is lightweight and supportive. It’s nothing premium, but it doesn’t feel cheap either. You also get some “leather adjacent” details that make this shoe not feel cheap.

The one big difference runs the two models is the tongue. The Kyrie 8’s tongue was polarizing. It was puffy like a ’90s skate shoe but super comfy. On the Kyrie 5 Low, you get a soft tongue as well, but this version is textile and much more subtle. Also, the shoe laces are cheap, but you can switch those out.

Fit

The Kyrie 5 Low fits perfectly 1 to 1. If you like that glove-like fit, you will like these very much; if you have had issues with this in the past, you should try them on or go up half a size.

Support

Support is fantastic. The Kyrie 5 Low inherited the Kyrie 8 Dynamic Strap System, which works well in this model. Instead of having four anchoring points, the nike air cage court junior has 2, but it still gets the job done. On top of that, you get a good heel counter and the overlays on the medial and lateral side of the shoe boost containment.

Aside from that, the wide forefoot and the stable cushioning setup add to the shoe’s support and to the feeling that you can pull off any type of move on the court with no issues

Overall

nike kobe 1 houston locations in florida area rugs an excellent performance basketball shoe. Now, is it a basketball shoe meant for every type of basketball player? No. The shoe has some intentional “weak points” to cater to a specific playing style. You wouldn’t use a catcher’s mitt to play in the outfield, right?

Nike nike air cage court junior First Impressions

The Nike nike air cage court junior shouldn’t be confused with any of the other Kyrie releases, such as the signature model or his budget Flytrap series. Everything feels good so far, which is all that matters. However, we would have preferred that the brand give us some press release or tech breakdown as we have no idea of the specifics with the cushion setup. You know what to expect if you’re a fan of the Nike Kyrie Low line.
