Kyrie Irving needs shoes that don't slow him down and provide a connection to the court. Nike has stripped the Kyrie Low 5 basketball shoe of everything superfluous. The lightweight, sleek overall frame supports you exactly where you need it, without any unnecessary components. The lightweight mesh material with grid pattern offers a secure fit and reliable support. The full-length Cushlon foam is soft, responsive and smooth as you roll from heel to toe. The laces run through the laces in the forefoot. When you tighten the laces, these straps are pulled down to keep your foot comfortable and secure in the shoe. The padded collar is cut higher at the back and fits snugly around the Achilles tendon. A sleek, sculpted midsole gives the shoe a fast, streamlined look. The rubber outsole features a data-driven, computer-generated traction pattern designed for multi-directional grip. The rubber wraps around the toe and sides to keep you in control during intense banking.
