The Kyrie 6 is designed for Kyrie Irving's creative and unpredictable game. This shoe focuses on comfort, control and energy return to help him go fast and stay fresh. Bouncy cushioning is paired with soft yet supportive foam for responsiveness and smooth heel-to-toe transitions. The midfoot strap and plush, padded collar lock him in and help keep him a step ahead of the competition. Sensational Responsiveness The Nike Air Zoom Turbo unit under the ball of the foot is curved, so it engages underfoot and when you push off your edges. The lightweight foam midsole is soft, supportive and helps to smooth the heel-to-toe transition. Locked In and Aligned An adjustable strap crosses over the laces to keep your foot stable over the footbed. The padded collar and heel counter lock in your ankle and help keep it aligned with your foot, so you can generate energy while making hard cuts. Agile, All-Angle Traction A multi-angle blade pattern is designed to grip the court in all directions. Grippy material extends up the sidewall, giving you the traction to roll onto your edges and quickly move this way or that.
