The faster Kyrie slows down, the quicker he can speed up or change direction. His ability to control his movement keeps defenders guessing—and him in control. The Kyrie Infinity provides a tight custom fit, enhanced responsiveness in the forefoot and traction up the sides, allowing players to accelerate and decelerate on demand and take advantage of the separation they create. Feel Connected Kyrie likes his shoes to feel tight and custom fitted like a boxing glove. Dynamic internal bands poke through the upper and the laces feed through them. Tightening the laces pulls down on the bands to create a super-snug, comfortable and connected fit. Unlock Your Energy An updated 3-layer cushioning system uses an Air Zoom unit in the forefoot that's sandwiched between a moulded sockliner and soft foam. Less foam and fewer layers improve court feel and unlock the Zoom's energy-returning potential. Cut with Control Edgy, multi-directional tread is designed around how Kyrie cuts and jabs on the court, providing traction precisely where it's needed. The grippy rubber wraps up the sides, especially on the inside heel and toe, so you stay in control when banking and changing directions.
