I think the extra material on the tongue is meant to connect both of the lockdown straps. Making it look like an infinity sign from a bird's eye view. Love your vids! Looks good!
So other than it looking like an infinity sign, is there any other benefits of it bc I bought the kids size and it’s identical except for the extra material on the tongue.
Thank you so much for doing what you do. My last pair of ball shoes - Dame 5 - have finally worn down all the way through (literally a big hole under the big toe). I play streetball everyday these days and I was panicking about buying a new pair. I spent an hour looking through all your reviews and decided on these, found them in my size at a great price and I’m really grateful for your output!
Kyries with cushion, no wonder he's not feeling them. I really hope the keep Sue fresh ones release in the states. And yes DHL has greatly improved over the years
I'm from Manila and just copped mine which is the Kyrie Infinity "Balance" colorway. It really grows in me everyday how good of a shoe it is and about to test it this weekend😃
Idk if anyone else noticed it, but I think extra material on the tongue is supposed to complete the infinity logo from the top-down view of the shoe. It’s a pretty nifty aesthetic if Im on the right train of thought lol
Hi Chris, I think the silver part of the shoe is an infinity sign and it acts like a heel and lateral support. You'll see it if you look at it from the top.
Hearing the tech specs im very excited. Im starting to see college pe’s and the Duke colorway looks amazing… Also being a NYer i had to snag both colorways of the Yankees jeweled af-1 mids 😅. Great shoe for the lucky discord member.
If you look at the silver lockdown thing from the front of the shoe and you include the one in the tongue it represents or draw a number 8 or infinity ♾
In general, I love the Kyrie - I think they typically look great and they fit my foot perfectly - I think they make a great court shoe I really loved the 6, but the strap was a pain in the 4$$ - so the fact that it's gone from these, I'm so excited
These look pretty good. Hope we see an on court video with them. Another great video. You have an insane amount of knowledge about the sneaker tech! Are you sure you are not a robot? 😂
Love it its like Nike Lebron 9 have a fusion with addidas tubular runners with the kyrie style finish ! Much love from the philippines more power to your vids !
Those nyc air force ones are nice. also learned a lot about performance of hoop shoes on this channel, who knew that lockdown meant more ankle support llol
By the way biggg fan since 2013 keep doing the great work currently on shoe rotation i have jordan 37 they have good traction good cushion but lack court feel also have lebron 20 great cushion great traction no court feel no ankle support so then took a chance on the kyrie 8 mid size great traction great cushion and court feel best shoe i have ever played in but if your a wide footer must up half a size also great materials very light weight
🤣🤣🤣🤣 WOW!!!!! Upgrade? She just straight walked off set! I’m dyin!!!!! 💀 I’m super curious about that forefoot wrap lockdown system ….I’m still trying to understand how that would work….can’t wait for the performance review! 🤓
Hey, bro amazing video, and thank you for all the Information. I usually wear an 11.5 in my Kyrie's but all I'm seeing is a 12. Would you think it'll make a huge difference?
Maybe Nike "rebranded" this as Kyrie Infinity because Kyrie Irving himself said the Kyrie 8's are trash and did not include him on the process of creating or designing this shoe.
i have a question, if you could rb that would be great. do you think its worth going up a full size in these exact pair, im a size 14, and they cost 400AUD, but if i went up a size, to size 15 theyre only 225AUD, which is a much more reasonable price for me. can i please have a recomendation? also, love the content.
Man the notion that high tops = ankle support is so annoying. In high school we all wanted the Kobe 6 as our team shoe but because one guy claimed he needed high tops to support his ankles we had to get some lame ass hypefuses 😑. I'm still grateful I was in a position to have a team shoe but the Kobe 6!!
Can I request you do a rview of the Air Force Max 2???? Got one recently but cant find any review that would deconstruct the shoe to its cells and explain it in an unbiased way like you do. Hope to see more of your reviews and I really hope you give the AFM 2 a chance.
The kyrie 7 s outsole tread was so week. They are flat after two weeks and the upper is still like brand new. Can’t ball anymore. Hope this one is stronger.

Exactly!

The shape of the lockdown straps is the Infinity Logo! I think these will be the first Kyries I buy. The cushion setup got me sold.
Man, I just love the vibes this wonderful couple gives off. You're both awesome 👍🏻👍🏻
That jade colorway is 🔥 That's the first time I've thought that about a Kyrie in a LONG TIME.

Hey do you know how to clean these I got the white version and I instantly find black spots on them after a trip to the basketball courts.
Kyries with cushion, no wonder he's not feeling them. I really hope the keep Sue fresh ones release in the states. And yes DHL has greatly improved over the years
he always has cushion in his pe
Facts. It seems like he loves hard feel the ground cushioning. That’s why I never bought any kyries.
@@zoesh2441 bro he has diff cushioning in the shoes he plays in. All nba players do.
@@MA-fd6so oh yea? Do you have proof of that?
@@MA-fd6sonah even in his Kyrie 3 PE’s which has ass cushion the only difference is that it had a carbon fibre shank
Absolutely love my Kyrie Infinity shoes. Springy, fast, tight.
they good in outdoor courts tho ?? kinda stuck between the infinities and the kd 14
@@steviessteeds8478 the Kd14 are better for outdoor courts
@@steviessteeds8478 I have both and love them equally. Outdoor I would say Kd 14 is better but damn be nice to them.
Are they good for people with wider feet or r they more thin?
Right they are tight

My man, you could never upgrade. Mrs. Wing is the best there is . Love your videos keep them coming!!
The tech spec knowledge is topfrigginNOTCH over heeeere 🤯 love it 💯
Always enjoy your reviews! Been watching for years!!
They're hard ! Thank you Nightwing ! The best sneaker review channel in the world !
Is Kyrie still disowning this shoe? Is that why Nike did some PR spin and called it “infinity” instead of 8 for his main line?
Infinity = 8. What’s the difference when Kyrie not playing without injury
Nah u right kyrie ain’t want these to come out cause he didn’t have a proper input on them but Nike didn’t give a shit now the shoe looks shit
@@Juicepluggedin the shoe is ass he even said it was ass but yet he promoting them on his IG lol I’m not understanding now fuck is going on
@@monta7854 contracts
The moment Kyrie said the shoes are trash, I knew they are going to one of the best ones 😂 😂
'Upgrade to a new one'. Wish I could say that to my wife without ending up in the hospital or the cemetery. 😂
Great video guys. Keep it up.
the "infinity symbol" or 8 is the whole silver piece if you look down on the shoe, which is why the x is on the tongue
Been working out in the 8 for about 2 weeks now. The shoe feels great and works well on the court
does it fit true to size ?
@@eazystarchia6 it does. I have a pair and they fit perfect
@@eazystarchia6 if ur a wide footer half size up in every kyrie
@@monkey2chunky89 I have them now I got my regular size but thanks anyway
@@eazystarchia6 np 👍
I just got these for 61 bucks on sale amazing review!
i got them for 30 💀💀
I like em,the colorway,everthing about em. Great review guys

Hey Guys! Let's talk about the latest Kyrie model shall we? Have a good one!
Best of 2021 list this year with any AVAILABLE shoes would be a miracle
In general, I love the Kyrie - I think they typically look great and they fit my foot perfectly - I think they make a great court shoe
I really loved the 6, but the strap was a pain in the 4$$ - so the fact that it's gone from these, I'm so excited
Phenom might as well go ahead and make y'all official brand ambassador.
They made the forefoot lockdown to create an “8” shape together with the rear lockdown loop 8:30
Bad boys off the bat! **buys**
The weird out rigger is so that if you dont brake there ankles with your handles use your shoes
yass queen
its me on my other account
dope review...but honestly, that hoodie is fire!
Finally a Kyrie with a decent cushionz
Y’know, kyrie called them trash but honestly I don’t hate them at all, they look really comfortable
Yeah, they can be a good shoe but putting the man's name on 'em when he didn't endorse them is a dick move by Nike
Fan since 2012
Man I subscribe because you actually got me to buy these and they look sweet
I know the zoom unit is getting the hype but I’m really excited about the strap system
Shout out to my man chris! Your big fan here from Taiwan!
I think Chris didn't mention it, but the silver stripes actually form the infinity symbol
I got the Curry 8 for 80€ today. Light af
I just relized the strap is actually looks like an infinity symbol, connected with those midfood x.
Those XDR work just fine indoor as well fyi
I was just about to ask about these since I just bought some.
These look nice but the fact that Kyrie himself hating on these are crazy.
Chris orders an Iron Spider suit: 'I got an upgrade!' 😍
Best kyrie is the low 4s . You guys have to try them 💯💪🏽
I just bought a pair of these! Kyrie infinity! I hope they are comfortable!
Great video! Didn't know the 8s have air zoom strobel in the forefoot. Thanks Chris!
Kyrie talked shit on the best tech wise shoe he has had his name attached to. Haha. I love the straps, very cool way to implement straps.
Got 4 different colorways in these and love them all!
Looks good on foot.. almost clicked away b4 seeing!!
I saw keep sue fresh colorway in the shelves and they are 🔥🔥
You seen them in the states?
Upgrading to a new one?! In the words of Bill Walton, "Oh no, what was he thinking?!" Great video,as always!
These look pretty good. Hope we see an on court video with them. Another great video. You have an insane amount of knowledge about the sneaker tech! Are you sure you are not a robot? 😂
That cross design on the tongue reminds me of the Jordan 8.
2 weeks later... Honestly they are good
Love it its like Nike Lebron 9 have a fusion with addidas tubular runners with the kyrie style finish ! Much love from the philippines more power to your vids !
hope to see Kyrie back on court soon
Considering his signature line has looked similar since the original release it was surprising hear that criticized his upcoming 8th signature shoe.
I agree aspects of the 6 and 7 I was a fan of the Kyrie 7's I bought two pair of them and they're very comfortable but I have to try these out
Those nyc air force ones are nice. also learned a lot about performance of hoop shoes on this channel, who knew that lockdown meant more ankle support llol
Moment of silence…Lets remember Kyrie for his signature shoes…have a rest Kyrie, on your upside down heaven😊
By the way biggg fan since 2013 keep doing the great work currently on shoe rotation i have jordan 37 they have good traction good cushion but lack court feel also have lebron 20 great cushion great traction no court feel no ankle support so then took a chance on the kyrie 8 mid size great traction great cushion and court feel best shoe i have ever played in but if your a wide footer must up half a size also great materials very light weight
Mannnn that hoodie is cooled and I keep missin them Damnnn
Chris sleeping on the couch after that ending. As if it’s even possible to upgrade from Jodi anyway…insert Dwight “It’s true” gif
Shots fired lol! Dope review! Sad but hilarious ending! Lmao
Hey Chris, would you still say up half a size for these? I'm looking at the US version. My foot is medium width, maybe sliightly wide.
That's what I've found. Most say go up a half size.
I just ordered pair half size up. ☝
🤣🤣🤣🤣 WOW!!!!! Upgrade? She just straight walked off set! I’m dyin!!!!! 💀 I’m super curious about that forefoot wrap lockdown system ….I’m still trying to understand how that would work….can’t wait for the performance review! 🤓
Lmaooo my girl woulda done the same passive aggressive gesture and held onto it for a week fasho 😂
Hello how are you doing
@@on10toes You’d be lucky if it was weeks…lol!!! This is some ammo to hold on for years! 🤣
I live in Japan and love the durability of my Jordan 34s with XDR.
God I miss watching Kyrie play 😔
Kyrie 6 the best model, evaaaaaa
So the x-wrap is the infinity. Didn’t want them until you explained how they work.
I’m waiting for the draw on the A Ma Maniere’s 🤞🏾🍀
Hey, bro amazing video, and thank you for all the Information. I usually wear an 11.5 in my Kyrie's but all I'm seeing is a 12. Would you think it'll make a huge difference?
You should be good.
When you get them lmk how they feel, we in the same boat bro lol
@@216kend3 they feel pretty good. I got the reviews up on my channel right now
... When Kyrie called these ugly, I think it was a publicity stunt. These things are NICE !
Just ordered…hope mine are good quality!
Great review
Maybe Nike "rebranded" this as Kyrie Infinity because Kyrie Irving himself said the Kyrie 8's are trash and did not include him on the process of creating or designing this shoe.
ALWAYS FRESH
Thank you for that plug, the xdr traction is the truth. Our gyms keep flip flopping on basketball courts being open.
Kyrie….infineight?
How much wider are the xdr versions ?
@@amrbasri68I don’t have the regular version to compare, but judging from this video, it’s visibly wider. I don’t have a ruler on me or anything.
Got the black an red kyrie infinity
That other color way is the Keep Sue Fresh!!
Some rainman in there. “I’m good with numbers”
Think the x design in the middle was to also make the top look like an infinity logo
I have the kyrie infinity, but idk if the performance is good
i have a question, if you could rb that would be great. do you think its worth going up a full size in these exact pair, im a size 14, and they cost 400AUD, but if i went up a size, to size 15 theyre only 225AUD, which is a much more reasonable price for me. can i please have a recomendation? also, love the content.
Whoa just like a Kybrid in essence. (6 and 7 combined)
HEY! no upgrade talk unless we're talking tech specs! Shh. See y'all next video.
Man the notion that high tops = ankle support is so annoying. In high school we all wanted the Kobe 6 as our team shoe but because one guy claimed he needed high tops to support his ankles we had to get some lame ass hypefuses 😑. I'm still grateful I was in a position to have a team shoe but the Kobe 6!!
Do the EP versions grip well on an indoor court?
I guess those silver leather “straps” is a subtle-or not so subtle-figure eight or infinity design inclusion?
They just released yesterday in the us btw
Can I request you do a rview of the Air Force Max 2???? Got one recently but cant find any review that would deconstruct the shoe to its cells and explain it in an unbiased way like you do. Hope to see more of your reviews and I really hope you give the AFM 2 a chance.
I'm waiting to see Kyrie RETURN
I heard that Nike may not extend Kyrie’s deal past 2023
Good Review, these Kryrie's are growing on me.
Oh & that ending was a cliffhanger... yikes
Upgrade... Iono Mrs. Nightwing is a Cutie!!! (respectfully)
then. are comfy or not? better than 7 or 6? only the colorways aren't very precious. im waiting for the lether color or lila/purple
The kyrie 7 s outsole tread was so week. They are flat after two weeks and the upper is still like brand new. Can’t ball anymore. Hope this one is stronger.
Does anyone know if it is recommended to order half size up if you wear ankle braces? I usually wear a 10.5 so should I get 11?
1:36 stopped immediately and picked up a shirt.
