Shoe review: hands-on with the Nike Kyrie 5

As you may have heard, last Thursday was something of a big deal, a national event that comes around just once per year. I’m talking, of course, about the release of the latest iteration of Kyrie Irving’s signature sneaker line, the Kyrie 5.

Being an irresponsibly massive sneaker nerd, I picked up a pair this weekend at my first opportunity, with the intent to spend some time testing them in the gym alongside my existing pairs of Kyrie 3s and Kyrie 4s. That’s exactly what I did, even though, as it turns out, you look like a complete maniac when you walk into a public gym with three pairs of sneakers.
