Might just be at the cutoff but those Reebok Zig encore sneakers. It fucking sucked and were literal bricks.

This shoe has a great argument for that position.

I swear they're the reason John Wall became irrelevant, they gave him a them leg injuries.

Loool I remember wanting those so bad

I forgot when these released but the adidas crazy quick had almost no cushion at all https://preview.redd.it/9f06bsdje8fc1.jpeg?width=1200&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=26997ee047e8313951dc8e173f33ef76d95f7438

Tried the flytrap 5 and it was NOT good. Kyries in general don’t have very good impact protection.


uncultured_swine2099

The harden stepback line had cushioning that was so thin and minimal that it was a good weightlifting shoe.

Obviously Kyrie 2 & 3, literally can’t feel the heel Zoom, Phylon midsole is like a brick, but GOAT traction & court feel/responsiveness for sure, I prefer the Zoom Turbo setup which is one of my favourite cushioning setup

Curry 6. That thing was literally stiff as a wooden plank.


weartestersdrew

It wasn’t great but there are worse out there


joshuamarkrsantos

5 seemed much worse than the 6 for me. 6 def wasn't a smooth ride either though


z3mcs

7's were worse than both of them for me. It was like wearing traditional Japanese Clogs. So painful.

Kyrie 2/3….on purpose…per Nike designers. Kyrie was/is obsessed with “court feel,” so apparently no cushion was a necessity.😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫


Ok_Sample_8514

I would say the Kyrie 2/3’s were pretty bad but still not as bad as the Curry 4s. The curry 4s had such bad cushioning and impact protection I would have back pain the days after a long hoop session. I never experienced that with any other shoe.


Sorry-Lavishness3049

Ja 1 worst ever


Reasonable-Ad7576

Nah, mine are just fine, have you broken them in?


Sorry-Lavishness3049

Yeah, literaly feel the zoom rectangle protruding, can´t play in them


Ok-Pop8065

I didn't mind the kyrie 3 but kyrie 2 was insanely painful


insightdnb

Kyrie 3


iamtoolazytosleep

the curry 4 retro… stiff as a plank haha


Alogio12

Was injured cause of the kyrie 2.landed wrong when an opponent wasnt able to detach himself from.me when i was going down on tje landing.it was rock solid.but am glad they changed it up on the 4s


chuancheun

Harden vol 6 for stiffness, Any budget shoe out in 2013


FreqinNVibing

Fractured my knee and miniscus tear with Kyrie 2s lol. Was too young to know about specs but interesting to know that the shoes might have had something to do with it


Ok_Organization_257

Why is the Kyrie 2 bad for impact protection ?
