Wow very surprised with the negative traction comments, guess I got a good pair with the friends edition, superb traction, lockdown, front foot cushion, ankle support, perfect fit for me.
The moment I stepped in these at the store I knew they were the ones for me! Hooped last night in them and they are everything for a guard! The cushion, the lockdown, toe box space, traction, I immediately realized I had a winner. Went from PG 2.5 and Lebron 15’s.
I have the navy/multicolor 5s and love em. Its sad to hear the traction didnt work out for you, because mine certainly feel amazing. No matter what, love the vids
I have them as IDs and yes in the beginning the traction was trash they are translucent btw (and I play on hardwood that gets cleaned every day). But they do break in and now traction for me is amazing. Being the first kyrie shoe I've played in as an explosive forward I was pleasantly surprised. Great review tho💯
ive had mine for about a month now, and i agree the traction fresh off the box was HORRIBLE. it's my first xdr pair so i believe that has something to do with the breaking in of the outsole. right now though, the traction has been holding up pretty well after hooping in them about 6-7 times.
Bro I remember when you only had like 10 to 30k and now you hitting many views and subs. You are a great youtuber with great things heading your way. Btw love the quality and the shoes.
Kyrie 3 is has always been my main go to, my 3s are beat to the barebones, been using the PG 2. Personally not a fan of the Pg 2s, the kyrie 5 might be the next shoe to cop
If the courts are dusty the traction isn’t that good, it’s takes awhile for them to break in. That’s why they worked better on some courts bc the dust was minimal.
This just my personal experience but I also bought a Kyrie 4 last year and The traction was very off at first but after I used it a couple times outdoor the traction just got better on it’s own
At first the traction was trash for me. But after breaking them in and i mean really breaking them in because it took a long time for me to do it. The traction was very solid. I think the traction requires a longer break in time.
I had the same traction issue with the BHM Kyrie 5, so i returned them to Nike. I got the Bred 5s from Footlocker and it was better. I had to try again because 5 other people on the court had the 5s on and they weren't having an issue at all. My Bred 5s are better but the PG 3s were better traction-wise. Similar pattern to the Why Not 0.2s
Stay true to size. It might look small at first. Play for few weeks. It breaks in. I made the same mistake going half size up and I switched it back to my size. Now it feels great.
my kyrie 5 cny is very nice....its brad new and i didnt need to break it in.....i love the air zoom turbo....its the best basketball shoe of 2019 ...like if u agree😄
I had issues with the traction initially. After break in time for the traction, they feel great. I wore em outside once casually, thinking maybe that’s what you should try. See if that helps
The traction was bad for me on many courts except for 1. I still had to wipe and after the game the bottom of the shoe looked like a dryer's lint trap. I love everything about the shoe but traction is too critical for a shoe's performance to be comfortable with them
I didn't like my Kyrie 5's either, to be completely honest where the 5 failed the 4 excelled, mainly the reason why after giving up on trying to break in my 5's traction I found myself in the 4's once again.
Just picked up two pair of the Mamba Mentality. Anyone know how these will hold up outdoors? I usually play twice a week for about 2-3 hours each mostly half court 3v3 with occasional 5v5 fulls.
My kyries 5s have no grip!!! 6 people that I play have them and have no traction as well.... So I went an bought the blue and orange flightposites and now I take flight LOL
Was the floor dusty? Mine have amazing traction, but I have to wipe them down a few times a game. It seems as soon as there is dust on the sole they lose the traction.
Man the Kyrie line gets better every year. Good stuff
Always love your vids!!! Nightwing, J Jones, and you are my top faves ❤️
0:39 Thought that dude was James Harden for a sec lol

The traction on this pair was awsome for me
Yeah same

instablaster.
Why Not ZER0.2 is next!
JAHRONMON I put my Heel Zoom insole From my Zoom SB Stefan Janoski In my Kyrie 5
JAHRONMON Best Skate Shoe ever 😂😂😂
JAHRONMON Why don’t you put your Full Length Zoom insole in the Kyrie 5?
JAHRONMON still no Harden Vol. 3?
curry 6 please
Kyrie 5s are one of the best looking kicks ever. Definite Cop🔥🔥🔥
I have the navy/multicolor 5s and love em. Its sad to hear the traction didnt work out for you, because mine certainly feel amazing. No matter what, love the vids

Jahronmon I like ur vids on sneakers. This is where I get my knowledge about sneakers comfortability and the traction
IMO Kyrie V is really good, as well as Kyrie III...
Yayy 0.2s next vid. Been waiting for so long
Omg he's cooking harden alive 0:39
Best quality reviewer r now, keep doing man!
Waiting for curry 6 review
Since posting this have you been hooping in the 5? Just curious if the traction improved for you. I’m thinking of coping these or the bred colorway 🔥
Bro I remember when you only had like 10 to 30k and now you hitting many views and subs. You are a great youtuber with great things heading your way. Btw love the quality and the shoes.
3:59 travels to that layup
That was one of the greatest intros I've ever seen #top5intros
FACTS 🙏🏻
Loving that intro! Great review as always
Opening scene is lit
Kyrie 3 is has always been my main go to, my 3s are beat to the barebones, been using the PG 2. Personally not a fan of the Pg 2s, the kyrie 5 might be the next shoe to cop
Why u look like Walmart Kuz version plus u wearing his shirt🤣🤣🤣 great video tho bro
That montage from the beginning was 🔥🔥
Finally jahronmon I have been waiting forever
The best performance review as always!
Been waiting for this bro I’m checking your channel everyday 🔥🔥
They had forefoot zoom in the Kyrie 1 though
Do Dame 5 or curry 6 next pls
Yo haven't watched you hoop in a while, you levelled up bro.
i got some of this today , i have a basketball game with them tomorrow. nice heads up about the traction .
Bruh the editing is🔥🔥🔥🔥
I Have A Pair I Got Mine In August And There The Cookie And Cream I Love Them That Traction Is Amazing
For me, traction is good, but picks up a bit of dust, making me do quick wipes
I'm a size 11 but I took my older sister's Kyrie 5 size 10 and it fit me ok. that's kinda weird. thoughts?
Best intros I've seen yet 🔥
Need you to be hoopin like this in those playmaker runs! Ball out Jahron!
If the courts are dusty the traction isn’t that good, it’s takes awhile for them to break in. That’s why they worked better on some courts bc the dust was minimal.
I have used 3 pairs of the 5s . They are the best ball shoes ever .
This just my personal experience but I also bought a Kyrie 4 last year and The traction was very off at first but after I used it a couple times outdoor the traction just got better on it’s own
At first the traction was trash for me. But after breaking them in and i mean really breaking them in because it took a long time for me to do it. The traction was very solid. I think the traction requires a longer break in time.
Been waiting for this!
LOL...such an understatement...you're a Kobe fan bro, period...
I had the same traction issue with the BHM Kyrie 5, so i returned them to Nike. I got the Bred 5s from Footlocker and it was better.

Currently my go to. I didn't experience any bad traction
I’m a size 9 but I got 10, so I would go Half size up or something like that.
Stay true to size. It might look small at first. Play for few weeks. It breaks in. I made the same mistake going half size up and I switched it back to my size. Now it feels great.
Love your videos bro
think it depends on body type... if u're heavy then traction will suck... lightweights would be ok?
it depends, the traction is bad if your on a bad court, also if u are on a bad court with bad traction make sure to wipe your grip every time u slip
my kyrie 5 cny is very nice....its brad new and i didnt need to break it in.....i love the air zoom turbo....its the best basketball shoe of 2019 ...like if u agree😄
Works best for quick guards who prefer court feel over impact protection
Nice video as always.
The intro 🔥🔥🔥
Slick ass intro my guy! Sheesh! 🔥
I got a season because of you and i LOVE it
I had issues with the traction initially. After break in time for the traction, they feel great. I wore em outside once casually, thinking maybe that’s what you should try. See if that helps
I rather it just work like many other setups out there.
*cough, Jahronmon to the celebrity all star game*
Cinematic shot👏
When are you doing the pg3 review cause so far I love em
I had no problems with the traction it was great, I never slipped
What kind of camera do you use? The quality of your videos are just too good.
Mainly the Sony A7R III
The traction was bad for me on many courts except for 1. I still had to wipe and after the game the bottom of the shoe looked like a dryer's lint trap. I love everything about the shoe but traction is too critical for a shoe's performance to be comfortable with them

First video on my recommended
soo lateeee i was waiting for it!!
I can't wait for that curry 6 review
Been a long while coming jeebus
Like if you want another Kobe model to drop🔥🔥
I have the Kyrie 5 friends but there's his little lump in the mid-foot and I don't know if that's regular or something but it's pretty weird.
Jahronmon, when are we getting a Jahronmon v Raiisle 1v1? The people need it
I disagree dude heel zoom is a must instead of forefoot if not that at least full length zoom air.
Dope!🔥 no1 fan of yours here jahronmon🤙💪
I got great traction on mine
You got a defective outsole. I'd try another one.
Do the PG2 next please!
Which kyrie 5 colorway you guys like better?, the black magic or the multicolor colorway?
Just picked up two pair of the Mamba Mentality. Anyone know how these will hold up outdoors? I usually play twice a week for about 2-3 hours each mostly half court 3v3 with occasional 5v5 fulls.
Try breaking the traction on a outdoor courts first
Deserves more subscriber than other shoe reviewers. Fuck them! This one is solid breakdown of shoe attributes.
Was thinking about picking up one of those “season” balls until I seen the price
GOATronmon with the quality, SPICY footage and review! 🙌
My traction has been great with these.
Clean and wipe the floor, I play in 3 of my pairs of 5’s and they work good all the time 👍🏽
noti gang all day!
You just need a clean court for good traction cuz my schools gym court is dusty and I ain’t got no grip
My kyries 5s have no grip!!! 6 people that I play have them and have no traction as well.... So I went an bought the blue and orange flightposites and now I take flight LOL
Weight plays a role in traction also
i feel like shoes with bad traction need some scrapes on cement to toughen it up
Is it good for outdoor use??
I got the season ball but it does feel really light, is it the same for you?
Which is better Kyrie 5 taco or black magic?
Where’d you get your compression pants from? Nevermind I found them, they expensive af 😂
Can you help me choosing between multicolor and bhm which is way more 🔥 for casual wear?
New shoes 6 ro 12 months! Damn son. Ive have my lebron 9s for 5 years bruh. They don't make Em like they used to
Will this last long on outdoor courts?
That intro was sick asf
Bro here in the Philippines they have kyrie 5 XDR version same rant with the traction
Was the floor dusty? Mine have amazing traction, but I have to wipe them down a few times a game. It seems as soon as there is dust on the sole they lose the traction.
