Always a plus when a signature line improves on aspects of the previous iteration.Always has been a solid go to shoe so looking forward to these for sure
Hey. This is the second video of yours that I watched and I really do love it, you’re very helpful to us sneaker lovers and ballers. You’re the best reviewer of sneakers if ever seen. You are not over reacting like other youtubers, you’re just being honest. Again I really really love your videos. I will subscribe to you channel and follow your upcoming videos. Keep it up!!!! More power and vidoes!!!!
I like how leave in some instances where you mis-speak. We're all human and make mistakes, but you keep some of your's in your video and that just resonated with me for some reason
who actually dislikes these videos even if you don't agree or had a different experience than him he still presents the facts well and the videos are entertaining there is nothing not to like
The initial grip was my immediate concern.i didn’t like it at first touch but couldn’t understand how a herring bone pattern wouldn’t be effective. It feels like there’s a plastic coating on the sole. Glad to hear it’ll wear off. Just picked up the 3 x black. Looking forward to it. Thanks for ANOTHER great review.
Great video Nightwing! I received my pair early and I'm really enjoying them! Way more comfy than the previous, looks great and performs nice! Best Kyrie to date!
I really didn't appreciate the way this first leaked but after watching this video, my interest grew and somehow I now know what I'm copping for Christmas.
People keep on saying that these shoes are ugly because of the “design”. In our place, almost all of the people are hypebeasts.They just wear cuz they wanna look good. Now that I know the feel and the traction and all, I might pick one of these up.Thinking of getting the confettis
Bought these today at dicks online and got $10 off! Just puting them on you can tell these are Beastly! Also true oldschool look reminds me of the Kobe adidas crazy 8 for sure. Thanks for the review. Hope to see you in the courts one day in SJ.
So many other TH-camrs have been saying the traction was slippery... Seems to me that Nightwing’s one of the few that actually test shoes for extended periods of time. 💯🔥
Wow, that's fast, and a great review. I'm kinda curious if Nike used a different type of rubber or that the outer sole got a sort of polish after baking that you have to wear off.
Im starting to stray away from flyknit ball shoes. Like the pg1 and kyrie 4, you get sturdy materials yet they still cater towards guard like players. Idk i like having a shoe around my foot for basketball instead of a sock
Hey nightwing, Big Fan. Do you think the kyrie 4's are similar to the kobe 8's or 9's in a way? I really wanted something that resembles the kobe 8's or 9's in a way with the cushion. I am really debating on whether or not i want zoom in the forefoot or something more with court feel. Pg2 vs Kyrie 4 as one would say. Thanks in advance.
Had a pair for a while and I couldn't get out of the PG 1. Recently I busted the Kyries out and they are really good. Just take a little bit more of a break in.
Hey Nightwing, I was wondering if these shoes have as good a heel to toe transition, court feel, and outdoor play as the Kyrie 3s, and if they are a better choice overall the the Kyrie 3s performance wise.
@NightWing you mention “this is the first Kyrie to have full length cushion”. If there is a Zoom Air unit being used in the heel, & cushlon in the midsole. What exactly is being used for cushioning in the forefront of the sneaker?
WearTesters Can you clarify what’s being used in the forefront of the sneaker. You also mention cushlon is being used in the midsole. Does cushlon extend to the forefront of the sneaker or something else being used?
WearTesters Thanks for clarifying. I got it now. 🙏🏽 For some reason I was thinking the midsole was only the mid section of the sneaker. Didn’t realize it extends as a full layer along the foot. It make sense now. 😅
Looking for a pair of basketball shoes for the volleyball season and this helped so much. As a net player I’m transitioning a lot and volleyball shoes cant hold up to that.
Why not? I think they play great outdoors. The soles are solid and there arent any airbags that you can pop either. Id give them a 7.5/10 for outdoor use.
great review. i love the ky1 and ky3. i did not love the kyrie2 due to strap n the little higher height as i am a midget and prefer the ky1 or ky3 to the kobe line
Now I actually like these. It's like they took the issues i had with the 3 and removed them/changed them. Although the colorway and design is plain, the'yre dope. *edit. I see all them guys in Kobe's on the court. That's what's up.
Kyrie 3s were ugly asf. Kyrie 2s were the best looking, and the 1s were legit, but the 4s are the second best, if they made the collar less weird looking, it would be #1
Both have great traction but the hardens have better cushion but doesn't sacrifice courtfeel, but if you are the one who does a ton of shifty moves, then you will need the kyrie 4
I know this is a month old but harden is fairly shifty in his moves himself. Only difference is his feet stay flat while jabbing and crossing over unlike kyrie
Question for you, you didn't find the length of this shoe a bit shorter in comparison to the Kyrie 3s? I wear Kyrie 3s daily (size 11.5) and it fits perfectly (perfect amount of toe space) however, 11.5 in the Kyrie 4s my big toe is touching the front of the shoe = I need to get size 12 (which makes its fit in length compared to the Kyrie 3s just a few mm longer than my size 11.5 in the Kyrie 3s)
You're definitely the go-to-guy when it comes to sneaker reviews! Love your reviews man
Appreciate the support.
Nightwing2303 no prob! Advance Merry Christmas!
RJ singayan You too!
Hope this shoe goes on sale in my country 🙏🏻
As always, thanks for watching!!!
Nightwing2303 I just sub.
Can i use this outdoor?
I bought half size bigger as they were really tight... hope they will be alright
WearTesters Ashok ram harihrpur
WearTesters can i use this outdoors without problem?
So anxious for a good colorway! Very happy to see the best sneaker reviewer on TH-cam approves 👌🏼
Look up kyri e 4 confettis
king_ryan_james was the best night
You're in luck... You seen the BHM's?
This was definitely the review I've been waiting for. Thanks for the review Nightwing!
Always a plus when a signature line improves on aspects of the previous iteration.Always has been a solid go to shoe so looking forward to these for sure

The design of these kinda remind me of some throwback barkelys
YEAHHH thats what went thru my mind too

Julius Fuller I’m no scholar lol. Just a guy that likes to play basketball and talk about shoes.

Just trolls
Thank you for the performance review!

Appreciate the review before the release, thanks for clearing up my traction worries, excited to pick these up now!
Ufff...
Been waiting for this review and am satisfied, good job nightwing!
Thanks for the great content Nightwing always great
Great job Chris, very detailed video. You answered all my questions. Can't wait to get a pair for very cheap in 7-8 months.
Thank you. Hope you enjoy them whenever you get a pair.
I've been waiting for this review. Keep up the fantastic work!
Yes! Very old school feeling. '90s vibe. Great review!
Great Vid, thanks for the performance review, I needed this.
Great video Nightwing! I received my pair early and I'm really enjoying them! Way more comfy than the previous, looks great and performs nice! Best Kyrie to date!
Agreed, the best and most well rounded Kyrie thus far.
How would they do outdoors? On a concrete kinda court.
Might be copping this after watching the review, thank you nightwing!
I like the model just by looks itself
I really didn't appreciate the way this first leaked but after watching this video, my interest grew and somehow I now know what I'm copping for Christmas.
I just got em todayyy. I got the 80's colorwayyy
How is the fit? Did you go 1/2 size up or 1 size up?
Thank god the Kyrie 4s aren't as disappointing as I thought it would. And layers in a shoe...bruh!
Definitely not a disappointment. More of a happy surprise, actually.
Nightwing2303 agreed...took the words out of my mouth!

An honest reviewer.... thanks man
Big ups! Good review!!
This is just a go to colorway... will blend easily to any uniform... it always bring the 90's back... classic yet super cool😎😎😎
Keep up the great work Chris, nice vid! 👌🏼
The materials are my favorite part of this shoe. Good review Nightwing!
The zoom in the heel helps on defense when backpedaling and whatnot.
These look so much better in hand, i was slick surprised when I got my confettis in hand.
Another awesome and detailed review! 👌🏽
So cool that I can get a Top Notch review on a show that I'm just now tryna cop... Its like having my own Time Machine! Thanks, Ni--... uhh... Chris!
always giving sick reviews 👌🏽
Looking forward to these!!
I ordered my pair on June 22th mines are coming on June 26th can’t wait
truthfully I'm real happy that the kyrie models have (more or less) maintained approximately the same price point!
So many other TH-camrs have been saying the traction was slippery... Seems to me that Nightwing’s one of the few that actually test shoes for extended periods of time. 💯🔥
Kyrie is my favorite player thanks for doing the review
Great detailed review
Great job @nighwting2303, but watching that video of you play makes me kick myself for missing the release of those shorts. Those are too sweet.
Lol. I had to go one full size up cause of my wide ass foot 😅
Wow, that's fast, and a great review. I'm kinda curious if Nike used a different type of rubber or that the outer sole got a sort of polish after baking that you have to wear off.
the hyperRev 14' also got a cushlon carrier and is also full-length and a full-length zoom.
Francis Jun dela Torre Those used a Phylite midsole. Not Cushlon. The last Hoop shoes to use Cushlon were the CP3.5-7 and the Kobe 7.
Im starting to stray away from flyknit ball shoes. Like the pg1 and kyrie 4, you get sturdy materials yet they still cater towards guard like players. Idk i like having a shoe around my foot for basketball instead of a sock
I prefer this type of mixture. Sturdy in the back, a little more free flowing up front.
yah word man, keep up the good work. Looking forward to top shoes of 2017
by far the best looking kyrie
Hey nightwing,
Big Fan. Do you think the kyrie 4's are similar to the kobe 8's or 9's in a way? I really wanted something that resembles the kobe 8's or 9's in a way with the cushion. I am really debating on whether or not i want zoom in the forefoot or something more with court feel. Pg2 vs Kyrie 4 as one would say. Thanks in advance.
quick question, those in game clips, was that an actual game (2:37 , etc.)? cuz I saw horrible defense being played, lol. Great review man, detailed.
Had a pair for a while and I couldn't get out of the PG 1. Recently I busted the Kyries out and they are really good. Just take a little bit more of a break in.
r they like snugged as the kyrie 3? cause im a little bit of a wide footer
Nice review nightwing, im lovin it, got one question tho, would the rubber compound last outdoors?
th-cam.com/video/DKq_Vg7TJUo/w-d-xo.html
Was surprised about how the dame 4 performed so well..(on my hoop shoe rotation) cant wait for the kyrie 4 new colorway..(definitely copping a pair)
I saw the samples and hated these, but I gotta admit these have grown on me tremendously and I will definitely be picking up a pair
Hey Nightwing, I was wondering if these shoes have as good a heel to toe transition, court feel, and outdoor play as the Kyrie 3s, and if they are a better choice overall the the Kyrie 3s performance wise.
The OG hyperfuse had full length cushlon with a forefoot zoom unit
mosnaidei Not sure where you heard that from but I believe it was lightweight Phylon from what I can remember.
I'm sure I heard it from those old videos with Kevin Chang that nike used to make about new shoes
@NightWing you mention “this is the first Kyrie to have full length cushion”. If there is a Zoom Air unit being used in the heel, & cushlon in the midsole. What exactly is being used for cushioning in the forefront of the sneaker?
Cushlon is cushion
WearTesters Can you clarify what’s being used in the forefront of the sneaker. You also mention cushlon is being used in the midsole. Does cushlon extend to the forefront of the sneaker or something else being used?
@@merlincalo6877 Cushlon is cushion. Its the entire midsole. Therefor the cushion known as Cushlon is incorporated full length.
WearTesters Thanks for clarifying. I got it now. 🙏🏽 For some reason I was thinking the midsole was only the mid section of the sneaker. Didn’t realize it extends as a full layer along the foot. It make sense now. 😅
Great review.
I might have to buy a athletic insole for the curry 4s when I get them because i seriously can't get down with that
cannot wait to cop these!
Nightwing in that celtic green and kyries >
Jaryd Yo this isn't spam but I subbed to u can u sub to me and stay active? And watch my new vid it's lit 🔥🔥
Hey - great review! What do you think of these against the PG1s? I recall you also liked those a lot...
👍👍👍 great review
Looking for a pair of basketball shoes for the volleyball season and this helped so much. As a net player I’m transitioning a lot and volleyball shoes cant hold up to that.
I'll be buying these thursday for sure
How would it be outdoors
Slasher dont
U don’t
Why not? I think they play great outdoors. The soles are solid and there arent any airbags that you can pop either. Id give them a 7.5/10 for outdoor use.
Riffin' Remmy u a fake baller
Bitch don’t wear them outside 😂 hell nah
Night wing, which Kyrie is best for wide toe box area? I played in the 2s but sometimes I stub my toes. Also thanks for the traction update.
amazing review thx
So nightwing, do you like these more or the dame 4s more?
Great review! I'm just really curious to know what would you choose kyrie 4 or dame 4?
great review. i love the ky1 and ky3. i did not love the kyrie2 due to strap n the little higher height as i am a midget and prefer the ky1 or ky3 to the kobe line
I have 2 pairs best hooping shoes I played in honestly.
Now this is a must cop Kyrie!
@nightwing2303 thank you for another great review!!! I will definitely be picking up a pair! Continue to be great bro!!!
that hoodie is dope!
a kyrie shoe that doesnt feel like a brick, Imma cop now !
I’m choosing between the Kyrie 4, PG2, PG1, Dame 4 and LBJ15 Lows.
Which one is the best for a guard, looks, durability and cushion?
Lloyd Yu For A Guard, Probably The Dame 4’s.
I have the kyrie 4 tb "oreos". They're super dope.
Looks kind of similar to the Jason Kidd’s Nike Zoom Flight V, but without the “eye”.
I copped so excited to play in them
Definitely gonna wait for a new colorway!
Just watched it on Instagram 😂 just wanted to leave a comment 💯 keep up the great work
looking forward to picking up a Celtics colorway
Out of the 4th generation of the kyrie’s, curry, and dame how would you rank them? Performance and price?
Now I actually like these. It's like they took the issues i had with the 3 and removed them/changed them. Although the colorway and design is plain, the'yre dope.
*edit. I see all them guys in Kobe's on the court. That's what's up.
There some for 80 bucks. Might get em off east bag in case my huarache 2k4 fall apart soon
These are the best looking kyrie so far too
roberto armstrong really? 🤔
Bruno Dantas hands down
roberto armstrong I think they're the ugliest since the Kyrie 2 tbh. I respect your opinion though.
Ugly ass colorways. Hope they release good ones.
Kyrie 3s were ugly asf. Kyrie 2s were the best looking, and the 1s were legit, but the 4s are the second best, if they made the collar less weird looking, it would be #1
finally a kyrie model with adequate cushion so i can play in them ptl
That hoodie is clean af
Good stuff. thanks nightwing
In your opinion what's better, the Kyrie 4 or Dame 4? I know the Kyrie 4s have improved cushion (Full Cushlon), but I also really like the Dame 4s.
Deciding between this and the harden vol 1 I am a traction type of person and a sg.
Both have great traction but the hardens have better cushion but doesn't sacrifice courtfeel, but if you are the one who does a ton of shifty moves, then you will need the kyrie 4
I heard the Kyrie's traction is slick at first
Afro Samurai you’ll need to break the kyries in, but if you get super shifty then kyrie 4s no question
I know this is a month old but harden is fairly shifty in his moves himself. Only difference is his feet stay flat while jabbing and crossing over unlike kyrie
Being a guard who cuts and drives often, would you recommend these or curry/dame 4s?
Question for you, you didn't find the length of this shoe a bit shorter in comparison to the Kyrie 3s? I wear Kyrie 3s daily (size 11.5) and it fits perfectly (perfect amount of toe space) however, 11.5 in the Kyrie 4s my big toe is touching the front of the shoe = I need to get size 12 (which makes its fit in length compared to the Kyrie 3s just a few mm longer than my size 11.5 in the Kyrie 3s)
Even more geeked to grab these
Would you recommend these for outdoor use?
yes
picking these up tomorrow
