Got my Kyrie 3s today and after reading all the reviews/ comments, I compared them to my Kyrie 2s.
In the 1, 2 and 3 I have a 9.5, all shoes feel snug, the 3 actually feels snug the most, but the shoe is also brand new, so that might be a reason.
The laces of the 3 are actually ok lengthwise, you just need to use all available wholes. I always tie my shoes pretty strongly.
I really liked that the 3 has a pretty strong ankle support, despite not having a strap. I wore the left shoe of the 3 and the right shoe of the 2 to get a better feeling for comaprison.
The 2 has a more round shaped sole, while the 3 is more edgy/ sharper, the sole of the 3 feels like a combination of the 1 and 2. The 3 is also wider in the forefoot, just like the 1s were.
The 3 felt just a little bit lighter than the 2.
Designwise I really like the 3s, but I do also really like the 2s.
What I like most from getting a first impression of the 3s is that there is no mentioning of Kyrie's jersey number on the shoe, I like these little sharp edges on the shoe, the big Nike swooshes actually do look good, normally I do not like the super big Nike logos, when it is a players' signature shoe and finally the comfort feeling was very positive.
What I dislike is the wide forefoot area, was not a big fan of that on the 1s either.
The black ice colorway hits the spot in my opinion!
Next monday I will have about 2 hours time to test the Basketball specs of the 3 and then I will share my experience, also in regard to the 2s.
