Kyrie Flytrap

A Cheaper Signature For The Masses

Nike launched the Kyrie Flytrap in 2018 as a budget takedown of Kyrie Irving's signature line, retailing around 80 to 100 dollars. The build trimmed the premium materials of the main Kyrie series but kept the curved outsole geometry and a forefoot Zoom Air unit, preserving the signature shoe's quick-cutting DNA. WearTesters and HoopsGeek both reviewed it favorably for the price tier, noting that traction was a clear strength while cushioning was thinner than the flagship Kyries. The mesh-and-Fuse upper hugged tight to the foot, which some hoopers loved and others found cramped. The Flytrap line found a wide audience, particularly at the high school and rec level, and set a template that Nike would extend for years.
