Love how you involve basketball shoes with your love for tennis. Good reviews!

[@FootDoctorZach]

Thanks! Glad you liked it

[@wyyld8567]

I think these are the best ball shoes out there today. They may be better suited for the nimble guards but they just feel great under foot and the air set up is incredible. To get these on sale right now is a killer deal. Get em before they’re goneeeeeeee

[@KosarNagyLukacs]

Yeeeeeeees they are so nice i absolutely love them

Nice doc. Keep goin' with ur videos. Always love your contents.

[@nenamydog1]

Played in them for the last month. If they get any water on them they are so so slippery. Not the best grip. Really enjoying the zoom in the front. Best cushion in a Kyrie so far

[@nik-y2m]

Almost all basketball shoes have that problem (because they're not made to handle water) and it makes sense.

[@lorenzomagboo6622]

Awesome review. Love how you go in so much depth with the performance aspect and the trade offs the come with the construction of the shoes you review, keep it up. Looking forward to more reviews.

[@KnewWhen]

This is great work, amazing shoe review!! Subscribed and excited to grab my pair next week.

[@FootDoctorZach]

Awesome! Thank you!

[@Hufftwoseven]

Can’t decide between these or the Jordan Zoom Separate. I like the color ways of these more. But I do like jumping a lot when I play so I think the impact cushion on the Separate might be better for me

[@unliblades20]

Thank you for the review. I bought a pair yesterday and can't wait to use them on our game tomorrow.

[@JZ0217]

The reason why the kyrie 8's are so flimsy is because your ankles have more flexibility yet still supporting your ankles. And faster response time.

[@underoath257]

I always play as a Center or PF so I always go with Lebrons for their insane cushioning, but this one really catches my attention. I'll buy these when it goes on sale

[@FootDoctorZach]

I’ll be interested in how they compare for you

[@grozzyy]

hey man did you ever end up copping a pair? if so how did they feel for you?

[@thesourpretzel]

on sale rn

[@chaos4495]

I usually play PF and played better in these then I did in my lebron 19s, they just take a while to break in all the way

[@TheQuatchman]

I really appreciate what you do. After much research and testing I decided to go with these. I went half up my normal size.

My gosh amazing review! Got this shoes in the recent nike sale!! Excited!

[@FootDoctorZach]

Nice

[@miltontaylor7750]

Zach..so I’ve been watching you for a couple of months now. I’ve noticed that you tell us what we like about the shoes… rather you put words and knowledge to why the shoes may or may not perform for some. Example..I have the ♾. The comment about them being build for people that bring there own power and they help maximize footwork, is spot…freaking on. That’s exactly why I love them but didn’t have the words or knowledge to say it. When I find things like this in a reviewer/review, it helps me trust what they are saying. What you are saying. Ky 5 low just dropped a sweet color way. Let me rephrase.. I found a sweet color way. Thanks to your review.. I’m on it tomorrow! Thank you.

[@FootDoctorZach]

Glad they’d helpful!

[@denyspolishchuk]

I was waiting for this video! 🔥🔥🔥

[@FootDoctorZach]

Hope it helped

[@smoothyreal2205]

i dont have the best speed or jumping hight but my playstyle is all footwork and breaking down my defender 1on1. would these shoes be good for me?

[@FootDoctorZach]

Thanks!

[@kobragangbit]

@@FootDoctorZach i didnt like them. Im size 9 so i got a size 9.5 for them to fit. And then after playing for 3 games Indoors the front side of the shoe started hurting the bone of my Big toes on both shoes. The Extra things on the side of the uppers that the Laces go through (2x) is what caused the problem for me. I can feel them poking me but maybe i just have wide feet. They are Comfortable and agile shoes besides that problem for me. I returned them and got KD14s about to check out your video on that

[@JustKicks786]

Super underrated shoe, the Kyrie line was the staple of great hoop shoes.

[@RawBe3f]

Keep going, doc! I really love your content! Ever thought of going into running shoes as well by any chance?

[@FootDoctorZach]

I did a few but probably not until I have more time to dedicate to the channel than I currently do - these videos take a while to produce

WOW.... this is technical as hell and will subscribe for more content. thanks!

[@LDP]

Good job on reviewing shoes for flat footer. I had the same feeling when first saw the midsole configuration

[@Huncho_Rog]

4:30 how would I know if I'm getting the "standard" version of the shoe? I wanna use these strictly for indoor. I mean if they were any other versions they would say like "EP" or "XDR" right ? Edit: Copped the shoes, gotta say, these shoes STUPID comfortable and the traction/grip is great. And they look pretty sweet on the feet.

[@FootDoctorZach]

It will say EP in the name

[@pmmor25felixnathanc.24]

[@AmanShah-xz1ji]

what would be better for an outdoor court, kyrie infinity or lebron witness 6

[@bennyo]

does the infinity kinda feel like it's 'popped' in the front of the foot? it feels so springy. not sure if its my shoe or not

[@MunchkinMisso]

A video showing Kyrie shoe alternatives is much needed.

[@Vladutze199]

Hello for a foot with bunions is it safer to go full size up?

[@al23x56]

How do you distinguish EP/XDR from standard version? Online listings don't seem to mention anything about the type of rubber used, thanks

[@giovannicardenas4666]

Still looking/waiting for this answer

[@topzfromtondo]

Which one has better cushion? Kyrie 8 or Gt cut? Lmk thanks.

[@kevinchang]

Hey Zach, I bought these shoes but I have flat feet, and when walking in them, the middle part of the soles of my feet start to hurt. Is it because of the two separate units in the shoe?

[@AWood-nt7rq]

@doctor zach can insoles help these Kyrie infinity last longer?

[@Unknown8938]

The best reviewer on KZbin!

[@affogato6463]

I like how your reviews get even to the “anatomical level” of things, hoping you may also do some running shoes reviews in the future because your channel has expanded not just for tennis but also in basketball.

[@FootDoctorZach]

Thank you - At some point down the road I will

[@ksfpubstar2]

I'm not super fast and my vertical is bad right now since I had knee surgery so I lost muscle and I gained weight. But these seem like they are fantastic for someone who wants stability and to help avoid rolled ankles like myself.

[@reboymagbanua3117]

Nice content broo

[@Xclipdrift]

Anyone worn both kyrie 8 and curry 9? Would love to know your thoughts. I’m torn between the 2.

[@FootDoctorZach]

If you want responsiveness and jump force curry- if you want more stability - kyrie

[@michaelcaranto9001]

Hey doc is this shoe, kyrie 8 good for someone who has bunion feet? I had the kyrie 5 squidward but my feet were hurting 😅

[@jahahwha]

can you feel the zoom air on the heel?

[@anajunco6502]

My foot is a little wide and I have high arch, would you recommend this over the lows? I don’t normally like mid, more of lows but my disc hernia is making my feet hurt lately and I could use the cushioning

[@betterthroughball2129]

Man I’ve gotta say as a fellow KZbinr, you have amazing videos! Keep up the killer work man!!!

[@FootDoctorZach]

Awesome! Glad you liked them

[@gtkev.7857]

Hey i have a question what do you think will be the be the greatest basketball shoe. Also what do you think is better the kawai 2 or kyrie 8s

[@ergueenm.herrera9753]

My friend has a flat foot but uses an orthodontic, would that help?

[@neema_namdar]

Question!! How can I tell the difference between a normal version and an EP version, for example I want to buy the EP version of this shoe.

[@guse34]

Performance wise, these or gt cut?

[@TabletAIHub]

Just bought the KD14, love them

[@FootDoctorZach]

Glad they’re working well for you

[@WadaMalone]

These fit amazingly, the stability is awesome and the grip is great too, only they're a bit hard on the knees so i don't play in them. The jordan 36, the greek freak 3 and the KD 14's were all a lot softer on the knees. And the latter 2 were cheaper, at least when i got them. I think the kyrie's are great for young players who still have plenty of knee life left. But for me, at 41, i only wear them off-court.

[@q-q-qiah]

What do you use to ball outdoors ?

[@sneakerjunki3]

Great review!

[@FootDoctorZach]

Appreciate it 👍👍

[@michaelf6147]

When I stand in the Kyrie 8, after about a minute or two, they make my heel go numb! I believe I'm a 10.I usually buy 10.5's to get a wider toe box. Had to get an 11 in these to feel comfortable. I've discovered I really don't like the feel of low-to-the-ground, flat feeling shoes. I wanted to like these! Also, I just learned about EP models. How much wider would you say the EP models are?

[@electricitywoman]

I have the same issue with all Nikes that have the 'empty heel' on the outsole (like the infinity sign on these). Never experienced it with any other shoe.

[@ChrisL326]

4:36 man, I thought you were going to flush it... got hyped for a second!

[@FootDoctorZach]

Haha not sure I’ve got that skill yet

[@brandonw1980]

Are these sneakers good for a prior achilles rupture recovery based off the heel to toe drop?

[@FootDoctorZach]

Wouldn’t be my first choice

[@jaimeyreboca9885]

@@FootDoctorZach what basketball shoe do you recommend for prior Achilles repair? Or older people 40 years old???

[@11beats]

Question what’s the difference between standard version and ep? I want these for indoor and he said go standard what does that mean?

[@zippoliu]

Is this good for Achilles?

[@anajunco6502]

Also, should I go 1/2 size up? I did with the pg 5 and was ok

[@KiddAlways]

[@bonfire0141]

@FootDoctorZach which shoes would you think is best for vertical

[@Luke_00192]

2:50 my soul is leaving my body

[@bphangamer]

Thanks for the review! Would a high heel toe drop cause long term biomechanical issues or even extra stress on a connective tissues like the Achilles? The difference between the heel height and forefoot was striking to me

[@FootDoctorZach]

High vs low just puts stress on different parts - one isn’t better then the other

[@MrAwesome__]

Lower drop will load your ankles and Achilles more, while a higher drop will load your knees and hips more. Just depends on what you want to load or protect more, but wouldn't call it issues. I personally like to protect my knees and let lower legs do the work, but I have relatively weak knees.

[@FootDoctorZach]

Yeah just depends where your strengths and weaknesses are

[@davidvardanyan1393]

do they run small?

[@BobRoss-wm3lc]

The very first day I ran in these my arches hurt so bad.. why is that?

[@MadSUPANOVA]

100% right on this one. Wide feet gotta go up .5 and cushioning on tongue around ankles excellent. This shoe feels like vintage adidas TS Supernatural and John Wall 1. Except being more narrow . Would be even better slight tilt forward carbon fiber arch for more bounce slightly more cushioning forefoot and heel

[@kerryn4173]

[@mrman3523]

Do you think the carbon plate in the game day. Pro insoles would make up for the lack of rigidity in the midsoles?

[@FootDoctorZach]

some

[@snubdawg1386]

in my country no ep/xdr versions are available but in "nike by you" it's possible to costumize the kyrie 8 with xdr sole ....it's also possible to costumize it with a gum rubber sole and it would look much more stylish with it....how does a gum rubber sole performs against the xdr sole on outdoor? ....because of this review i guess a xdr sole is maybe not necessary because the cushioning will be worn out before the outdoor sole

[@alexpro-vv9ci]

Hello Zack, which colorway of this shoe is the XDR one?

[@dexteresteban1173]

hello sir can i used the shoe in concrete outdoor court/rough court.im looking for a shoe right now i hope you can help me.thank you.

Not IMO

I love the cushioning in this, but man that gap in between the forefoot and the heel was too weird and unstable for me, kind got flat feet so felt it sometimes 👀

[@eliwarford760]

So if I were per say a hooper who has to put a lot of force in and try my hardest to dunk, how well would these hold up?

[@FootDoctorZach]

Not great IMO

[@benjackson1350]

Do you think with the flexible shank that it could lead to more intense heel strikes which could stress the lower back? Moreover something like the KD14s which creates whole foot impact absorption (but has added cushion and stability rod to accommodate)?

[@FootDoctorZach]

Yeah more flexibility means your foot has to work harder with pushing off so you want flex but not too too much

[@doctorzenji]

Hey Zach , Love watching your videos because im a HUGE sneaker head and always wondered about more of the science behind shoes. Im also a basketball player all my life so the sneaker world obviously brought me into basketball. Now this might be random but I have rolled my ankle so many times that I know wear ankle braces every time i play basketball and because of that there has not been a shoe to this day that matches up with the JORDAN 29 I would LOVE LOVE LOVE , if you made this type of in-depth review for that shoe so we all can hear your opinion of an older model shoe but yet still one thats on the court often and thats overall an amazing shoe. I have been using that shoe for 5 years now and I would really like to know your thoughts on those shoes. Also would love to hear what shoe matches up with those in todays day and age because its becoming very sparse to find specific colours in the JORDAN 29s. I bought the Jordan 34s , but they just around the same feeling as the 29s since a lot of people online said it was very similar to the JORDAN 29s. please let us know if you'll be able to do this review because I bet im not the only one looking forward to that review. thanks again for your amazing videos. much love : )
