My son had the Kyrie 5 and loved them. As far as durability goes, it was the first shoe he actually wore out, but to be fair, that's comparing it to the Lebron 16s he had before that. He did essentially outgrow it at the same time he wore through the left heal cushion, so overall it was a good performer, and I thought we would fir sure get the Kyrie 6 you just reviewed. I was surprised when he tried on the Zoom Freak 1, and decided it blew his Kyries out of the water. He plays almost exclusively indoors, so dust usually isn't an issue. So far he's running slightly faster in the Zoom Freaks and has a bit more bounce in his jumps. This might be due to the fact he has a big foot for his frame, size 9.5 on a 5' 11year old. I know you aren't high on the Zoom Freaks, but I think it may be a case of those being a niche shoe, while Kyries are generally very good for everyone.
no, the factories are a bit different, people been complaining about this since the 5s, most people get really good traction but some pairs have horrible grip
I have to say I thought the Kyrie 5 cushion was just right for me. Heel cushioning that compresses too much feels mushy to me and I find that I end up less smooth on my feet as a result.
I can't imagine Kyrie's being bulky, but then again I haven't played in these yet. What do you guys think about these? I used to play in Kobe's and am getting tired of a lot of other ball shoes. Are the Kyrie's a go?
Bro do not go for the looks of the shoe Look for the performance of the shoe look every detail about kyrie 6 it's has great durable compression and traction its like for handballers.and yes it's a Go
@@thorodinson9511 Right, I get that. I've never really gone for the look of the shoe. Hence, why I prefer Kobe's even to this day (obviously for performance reasons).
Has anyone played in these shoes though? I was always hesitant in the past because I heard the cushioning in Kyrie's weren't that good, but these look like they've been retooled a bit in that area.
@@hmf33 I haven't tried the 6 but I have the 2,3,4,5 and the cushion isn't really bad it's just more focused on traction and control, some more than others
@@not_me16yearsago70 Thanks, I think I might end up buying these. I bought a pair of performance insoles that might go well with them too. Thanks guys.
Justin Hutcheson it’s mostly the same performance the only difference is probably the traction and you can probably guess what the traction will be if you just watch the curry 7 review And search up the material on it
so I got these the other day... they are tight (short) but I also think it is because of the outsole that is wrapped around the toe...you just feel it but I am sure they will stretch a bit and then they are perfect for people with narrow feet...I went true to size because I actually have very narrow feet and I did not want to slide around in them by going up half a size...the lockdown is very nice...the zoom feels very bouncy...but I have to confirm Sammy's take on the grip...its extremely good on a clean floor but on dust they really suck....you have to wipe a hard 5 times till they grip again...I think the Sole Bros do a great job when it comes to telling U how shoes perform on dusty courts...they are right on the money every time...they must have access to some really crappy courts ...lol...greetings from Germany and keep on balling
Def a top tier shoe if it had ventilation. I have the shoes after tried almost every other shoe out there and these were the only ones that felt right. It’s all opinion based.
I have a narrow foot and I like to double sock everytime. I was wondering if I should go true to size bc every Kyrie I wore was fine with true to size. Some compare the fit size to the Kyrie 5 and they fit fine with true size even with double sock. I needs help
I have the kyrie 6 and the base color way and i only hooped in it a few times and the strap keeps coming off and it piss me off it makes me want to sell them
Brainwashed sheep. They see the first pics, it looks different and their brain doesn't know how to process it so they say it's trash. Then the shoe comes out you see ads for it, nba players wearing them people at your gym rocking them and those same people cop
Well the shoes is for Kyrie everything he designed and custom was everything he needed to perform perfect on the court if you don't like it I know it's your opinion we people or viewerswe are just evaluating on your reviews on the shoe
Is the color pattern on the traction of a preheat model random or is it the same for all the shoes in that colorway? (For example preheat taipei is the color pattern random or is it the same for all the shoes?)
Hi I'm kinda late but I'm planning to buy a Nike by You version but I don't know what size I should get. Can't try this on stores tho too because of the lockdown here where I live. I'm a natural 9.5 but I wear a 10 because I want a little bit of space because I have wide feet. Will a size 10 work for me or should I get a 10.5?
Bruh u actually got this for my birthday but it didn’t fit me and I couldn’t return it cause we forgot but now I’m a 9 but it was a 8 so I really want this shoes again for Xmas probaly
This guy rarely gets actual good traction..... while other reviewers like nightwing commonly gets good traction. Is it because of his weight??? Like he’s not putting enough weight on the shoe to actually activate the traction?
It's usually the court. Some courts are dustier than others or are even made from different material. Even then, not all hardwood courts are made/looked after the same. Some have fresher/more durable clearcoats that grip better, and others look nice but grip terrible; like the one at my college.
Having to experience dame 7, harden vol 4. And kyrie 7. Kyrie 6 has the worse feeling. It's outsile is just too hard and it's uncomfortable. But lockdown is there. But kyrie 7 has better comfort. Don't get these
I just got the Kyrie 6 pool party’s and it took me 20 minutes to get them on I untied them and undid the Velcro I even tried loosing them up idk if I was doing something wrong or what buh I got them on and then now have creases in the top parts I even got them in 6.5 y and they give me room I like them buh I jus got them today and hopefully they loosen up or I might not wear them
No bro you said the traction basically sucks . No ventilation. Strap doesnt do shit . Dont call it incredible at the end. no more cappin at the end sammy boy
What rubber outsole is more durable (outdoors): solid rubber or that translucent blue rubber? Or does it depend on something else? Was thinking of getting a Nike ID pair of these cus I've got a sick colourway
Same, but solid rubber doesn't pick up dust. Are you in asia btw? If yes, there is xdr ver. I copped kyrie 6 cny with xdr and even without breaking in the traction it has great grip
@@CarlosVange nah I'm in the UK, I've bought a pair of zoom rize 2s, the outsole is made of suuuper hard rubber so hopefully that equals durability... although that's not necessarily true. I tried the kyrie 6 and it's quite narrow for me, better indoors too imo
What can I say, perfect for me. Rocked them for over a year before I grew out of them. Cushioning is goated, traction too, just... but it.
Still rock my 6’s till this day. Outdoor use only. Traction 🔥. Support spectacular. Been playing our doors for 2 years. Fire.
How abt the cushion?
are you for real ? That traction looks soft af
For real?m planning to get Kyrie 6 ep for some outdoor action

He made the traction sound much worse than it really is the traction is seriously the best out there on any court except outdoors
Mad Rhino all shoes have good traction outdoors
@Fish Drowner no not really some shoes are really bad outside
Fruit Punch boy what basketball shoes
@Fish Drowner kyrie 6
I'm not going to buy the shoe simply because of the dust factor. That is a make or break for me.
It feels so different without Donny boy
where did he go?
😞😞😞
I missed the old intro
Yeah,it feels worse.
yes , thier tandem is really good
Your court is just dirty, my kyries have 10/10 traction at the new YMCA court
no, the factories are a bit different, people been complaining about this since the 5s, most people get really good traction but some pairs have horrible grip
b0fa scootz you right, I have the 5’s and there grip is not the best ( indoor )
@@Acore-ly9qx yeah my 5s were terrible indoors
Kyries shoes are🔥!
True
do yall think 6s are better than 5s"?
@@jinkim601 yep really comfortable and better traction
@@jinkim601 yes they are the best shoes in the world for ppl who aren’t flat footed I love the shoe man
@@valenfarous3150 they good for people w high arches?
i weared kyrie 2 and i think the strap was really helping making the shoe more protective
I love the fact that Kyrie shoes need breaking in
That shoe is dripping no cap. Hopefully I can buy it soon.
Them shoes ugly asl lmao it looks like they just put random ass colors on the preheat collection
Save Me the black ones nice
At least they stand out more
75 bucks on Nike right now
Bro that blue colour way too litty
I have to say I thought the Kyrie 5 cushion was just right for me. Heel cushioning that compresses too much feels mushy to me and I find that I end up less smooth on my feet as a result.
Straight up fire 🔥
Keep up the great work Sammy! Good review; you're killin it dude. Hope the Sole Squad keeps growing
Anyone remember when Sammy had blond hair and wore glasses
You don't need to like I'm just wondering
Pyro ya 😂
My mom is getting me the kyrie 6 but now you are giving second thoughts..
Might get these just as my regular shoes because they look durable and cool
I can't imagine Kyrie's being bulky, but then again I haven't played in these yet. What do you guys think about these? I used to play in Kobe's and am getting tired of a lot of other ball shoes.

I’m really tempted to just cut the strap off
Love the intro kind of like all the kick genius should do videos of you shooting and dribbling and stuff that’d be dope
Gabriel Bartlett bruh
yeah but then the velcro will become dust magnetic
Don't
That's a great idea man! When you have cut the strap, give us an update regarding it's performance and improvements 😅
Top 10 shoes of the year? Still waiting
Wear testers are way better just wait for theirs
The Black/Uni Red colorway looks WAYYYY better. Actually think that colorway makes it one of the best looking shoes on the market.
Is Donny ever coming back bruh
he was in their last vlog recently so go watch it!
@@benhatkow5839 you needa chill he was just a asking a question damn
@@isaiahweber8911 how was his response not chill?

Can you do the curry7 sour patch kids edition when they come out
He’s aleready done the curry 7
Adriano: G sour patch kids one ^^^
Justin Hutcheson it’s the same shoe just different colorway
FIRESHADOW GAMING different color ways can have different performance look it up. 🙄
Justin Hutcheson it’s mostly the same performance the only difference is probably the traction and you can probably guess what the traction will be if you just watch the curry 7 review And search up the material on it
You guys inspired me to get the kyrie 6s
I’m definitely copping just waiting on a better color way!
Just got them. 🔥🔥🔥
You guys should start doing reviews and vs’ with backpacks and duffel bags

Wheres donnie boy and can you plz do kyrie 6 vs lebron 17
Def a top tier shoe if it had ventilation. I have the shoes after tried almost every other shoe out there and these were the only ones that felt right. It’s all opinion based.
And I never really had a issue with traction once I broke them in. Also very comfortable shoe
Its the same phylon that they used in the pg3
pg3 phylon is lighter
No it is the same injected phylon
@@hondacivic-kv9uu kyrie 6 is probably injected phylon. But the pg3 is a different phylon.
Hey Sammy, will you have a Kobe 4 Protro performance review on that solid rubber FTB colorway? Curious if the traction is better.
I bought it and the traction is fine even on some dustier courts. I'm still working on breaking them in fully
please make a video on What is the Difference Between EP and Non EP Basketball Shoes
The strap need to go. It will just collect dust specially on the outside courts where there is dust
I know theres not a lot of people who likes the design of kyrie 6,in my opinion it looks realy cool and awsome
Love the Kyrie 5's tried the 6's on store and not feeling them at all, sad day! Lol
Can You Make Dismantled for Kyrie 6 PLEASEEE.. CAN'T WAITTT THANKSSS
I have a narrow foot and I like to double sock everytime. I was wondering if I should go true to size bc every Kyrie I wore was fine with true to size. Some compare the fit size to the Kyrie 5 and they fit fine with true size even with double sock. I needs help
Guys im reallyyyy debating with myself whenever i should get jordan why not 0.2 or kyrie 6 someone please help me😭😭
The kyries
Johanna Laboy thanks 🙏🏽
I rlly wish I can get the 6’s but I only have the 5’s but they r still really good
Finally the strap is back from the 2
Who ese noticed the kobe from the blog?
I'll get these soon really liked Kyrie 5's
With the Kobe 5 Protro's out now, we need a Kyrie 6 vs. Kobe 5 Protro!!
Make it happen captain.
(please, thank you kind sir)
let's hope the performance is better than kyries 324 word performance in Boston
I got the black colorway and the traction was great out of the box and I play on a dirty ass court at 24. Easily better than the Kyrie 5s.
I have the kyrie 6 and the base color way and i only hooped in it a few times and the strap keeps coming off and it piss me off it makes me want to sell them
Everytime i will make a turn it will make the strap come off but the thing is it’s on my right foot so Idk if it’s a defect
Does it need a while to break in ?
Should I got half a size up? In the 5 i was a 10.5
These are 65$ rn at nike in here greece should I cop
if it's soft then it's right for me because every shoe I buy they have bad cushioning
I’m wearing af1 size 8.5 and it was true to size for me, should I buy this pair size 9 or 9.5
How come everybody thought that the kyrie 6 were trash and then the day they dropped everyone went insane.I honestly think that they're fire.
Brainwashed sheep. They see the first pics, it looks different and their brain doesn't know how to process it so they say it's trash.
Then the shoe comes out you see ads for it, nba players wearing them people at your gym rocking them and those same people cop
I noticed you wore cushioned socks. If I wore thin socks, would the fit be better? With thin socks is the snugness in the toe area improve?
Please make top shoes for power forwards/stretch 4s type player, like siakam and draymond
There is also a team version of kyrie 6. Are they the same ?
If you get the shoe true to size, the toe area is HELLA tight.
Well the shoes is for Kyrie everything he designed and custom was everything he needed to perform perfect on the court if you don't like it I know it's your opinion we people or viewerswe are just evaluating on your reviews on the shoe
Yeah, but that doesn’t always happen...Jordan’s feet bled from playing in some of his shoes and that’s just one story of undoubtedly many others.
Man sadly i bought the wrong size, cause i don’t know that you have to buy a size up for kyries
Is the color pattern on the traction of a preheat model random or is it the same for all the shoes in that colorway? (For example preheat taipei is the color pattern random or is it the same for all the shoes?)

Kyrie 6 or zoom gt cut 1?
It's a fat heavy shoe,idk I'd prob not recommend it for pg with movement
Finally I was wondering if the traction sucked or not
In my opinion the traction always excellent when it comes from kyrie series
Bro what is your profile pic
i bought the . kyrie 6 . with wrong size f pls
What about the durability of the EP edition? Can it play well outdoor Sammy?
Kyrie 6 or Jumpman Diamond? I play a lot on dusty courts
I sprained my ankle and this shoe gunna work good if it’s tight
Dude now i feel like u r trying to change the way Kyries r made
Personally I like the strap it feels better on the top of my mid foot
Nephew really wanted a par but he cant find a pair of wides if they even make them.
Y’all should really send me a pair on the goodlooks 💯
Is this shoe’s traction suitable for outdoor basketball court??
I think they are not making it good on dust because kyrie always play in an indoor court and it's made for him..
what is better
kyrie 6 or curry 7
Is it a comfortable shoe?
Does the material feels hot?
Guys which is better in overall performance, The 5's or the 6's??
does it have good ankle support ima big kid 6’2 240+ playing center for my 8th grade team n just returned my giannis’s cuz of bad ankle support
Bruh u actually got this for my birthday but it didn’t fit me and I couldn’t return it cause we forgot but now I’m a 9 but it was a 8 so I really want this shoes again for Xmas probaly

Another factor considered
He prob hoops in the same court when he’s doing the weartest.
I'm thinking about using them casually what do you think about that? Good or Bad Idea?
Nah no point fr
Performance review on the Nike air Max infuriate 3 in the back👀
Kryie 6 vs dame 6 who win?

would these be good on driveway and court ofc
Do a kyrie 6 vs pg 3
When will you guys get a dame 6 performance review out?

Jaeden Boccaleri how old ru cuz gs sizes sometimes fit different then adult sizes
Does the sole rip or damage when you use it for a long time?
any shoe does that if you play aggresivily enough
Can we get an update for the Nike Precision 3? How they are after month of use?
There is no shoe that won't require you to wipe dust off, its a fact of life when you play on shit courts
i have played in the kyrie 6 and my feet hurt zoom turbo is s**t
Wrd and it’s heavy
No bro you said the traction basically sucks . No ventilation. Strap doesnt do shit . Dont call it incredible at the end. no more cappin at the end sammy boy
Nick Bennett haha haha chiillll
What size you wear
Aye, will you do Kyrie 6 vs KD 13?!
You know basketball shoes are for hardwood right?
