Yeah, I think the flywire does add a stiffness to the midfoot that wouldn't be there without it. I've played in the Lebron XIs as well and I found the flywire to work somewhat. You can tie them so tight it feels like its stopping blood flow :/. Fuse protects the material from tearing but I think the support from fuse gives after awhile, thats probably where flywire helps. That being said flywire will give when exposed too. I tore through the flywire on my Superhero 8s from playing. I think its great that its backed by nylon on the 9s.
Do you think Flywire is even necessary? The only shoe I feel it really working on is the Lunarglide 5 and maybe the hyperevs. But the 5 glides I just feel it snuggly wrapping around my foot. On the Lebron XI i feel it's not necessary and doubt it's really working over all those layers of fuse and posite. I haven't tried on these 9 lows yet to tell.
