Nike should just cut him. I would bet there is a clause in his contract allowing them to do it.

[DoctorP]

rebel without a cause.

but he has the FU money $$

[Spurs m8]

I love how triggered he makes cvnts

Just because he doesn't just go with the flow and thinks for himself.
Just because he has different opinions to many, he's hated hahahah

At least he's honest with himself...

[ErhnamDjinn]

Lmao we had a player in our league here in thr Philippines was sponsored by Anta i believe but in thr actual games he used kobes so he would tape up the nike logo so it didnt come out on tv

I mean aesthetically they’ve been releasing the same Kyrie model with slight tweaks year in and year out. So I get his frustration. The cushioning on them has been trash for ages, these actually when broken down have better cushioning system with more ample zoom units.

But I mean I see both sides of this. Kyrie has the right to say what he wants, he had no input, which is odd because Nike used to work hand-in-hand with their elite athletes. Michael Jordan, Ken Griffey Junior, Kobe Bryant, LeBron James etc but then again they can release what they want since he signed a contract.

How's traction on them? I love the look of a couple of them;

If you’re a player who plays below the rim, and uses a lot of moves to break people down, Kyrie Irving shoes have great traction. Nice curvature of the outsole for not rolling your ankle or foot on lateral moves.

I’ve owned the 1s, 2s, 3s, and the best so far the 4s.

Had various low top editions of his products too.

His shoes have had absolutely no cushioning.

So if you’re an older guy, they’re not the best because you’ll get foot fatigue. I’m in my mid-30s now, so it’s more difficult to wear his shoes to perform, because I will be feeling it in my knees and ankles the next day. My legs in general get wore out quicker wearing his product. But then again Nike has gotten stingier and stingier with their cushioning systems over time

[HylianNightmare]

It's the same as all his other shoes and the first Gen hyperrevs

[ScottieQuitting]

Nah Hyperrevs had more cushioning

I've got to respect the man's honesty.

Yep, i play guard so definitely need a shoe that lets me cut and stop on a dime. I've currently got the Jordan 33 Lows:

And while they're solid, they have that ****ing weird lump below the forefoot. Yeah I know it's cushioning and they ARE comfy... its still kind of weird how your foot plants itself on the floor raised a bit at the front.

Where do you hoop?

[Manny98]

Realest nikka in the NBA, tells it how it is unlike LeActor

[bullettooth]

There's a group of guys that I play with (found them through a friend of mine) at an elementary school gym we rent. Obviously we havent during the pandemic but... thats where i usually play.

[fsvr54]

I ball a lot and Kyries to me are the best basketball shoes around. So comfortable, they just feel better on the foot than anything else.

[HylianNightmare]

Nah Hyperrevs had more cushioning

I only ever hooped in the first hyperrevs and that was no padding around the forefoot

[ScottieQuitting]

Padding? Rookie. Lol jk

They had zoom. Small unit but more plush than the bricks Kyries have been since their mass produced conception. Now his actually may have quality cushioning but not the retail pairs.

No, like what state? We should organize a ISH pickup game sometime.

You could fill a team with Jeff and Wheels Alts alone.

Then we can see who can actually play to go with most of their totally inaccurate opinions. I know 3ball can play at a high level. lilojmayo used to be pretty good too. Hotsizzle, Alpha Wolf were decent. Most of the MJ / Kobe fam can play.

LeBron Stans filled with fat, out of shape white dorks circle jerking to his physique. Jew fro nerds like RRR3 and German snitches who get their ass beat like ArbitraryWater, etc.

It would be fun to see who can back stuff up on the court itself.

How old are you though? I like the build and traction but at my age after awhile the cushioning is horrendous.

[ArbitraryWater]

Thats actually hilarious

[MrFonzworth]

:roll: what a badass

[FultzNationRISE]

Whom does he think would want his design input on a shoe? Dude believes the Earth is a flat disc. People want to call out his name when they shoot playground fadeaways, not trust their joints and ligaments to the engineering prowess of Kyrie Irving.

This embarassing, scandalous episode only proves Lebron James is even more GOAT than we thought he was.

Are you retarded? Another LeBron stan showing that their unathletic an old, fat white dudes.

If you’ve ever played anything at a high-level, you would know certain shoes are better for your type of game then another shoe. There are shoes built for heavier players and big man. There are shoes built for guards. There are shoes built for guards that are more sleepers, and then there are ones that are more floor based guys to do a lot of lateral movements.

Kyrie doesn’t engineer them, you moron. He works hand-in-hand with a professional designer, not just for aesthetics and colorways, but for specificities for performance that he’s looking to achieve each year to each year.

Big Mike and Kobe constantly worked with the best Nike designers and gave articulate input on what they were looking to achieve. That’s why fheir performance products were head and shoulders above everybody else.

Meanwhile ghetto ass LeBron just said initially he wanted his built more like boots. Timberlands, to be exact. To go with his clunky ass foot work.

Real Hoopers aren’t in pressed with genetic lottery gifts. It’s people who excel at the new wants and skill of the craft. That takes time, love, passion, and attention. You’ve never played basketball, that’s why you’re a LeBron stand and don’t understand the nuances of the game. It’s obvious in your comments about this alone

EXCUSE ME.


Who... the fvck do you think you're talking to like that?

Do you understand you're talking to a member of the LEBRON JAMES FAMILY?? The most powerful and prestigious player faction in existence?

Respect is something we have earned, and you will GIVE. We've spent years cheering and supporting the game's greatest player, Lebron James. Worked our asses off helping newer fans and longtime STUPID FANS to understand all the myriad ways he's been so important to our game, both physically, mentally, and spiritually. So I'll give you the benefit of the doubt that you simply wasn't educated on the situation when you typed what you just typed.

But you're gonna learn, because boy I will correct your ass in a flash. First with words, and then if that dont work, I'll learn ya straight across the mouth with my hand.

Wise up.

NOW.
