Sixth And Final Budget Entry
The Kyrie Flytrap 6 released in 2023 and was one of the final shoes to ship under the Kyrie line before Nike paused the partnership with Kyrie Irving. The build kept the line's defining curved outsole geometry, sat on a Phylon midsole with no Zoom Air, and used an engineered mesh upper with Fuse overlays. WearTesters and HoopsGeek reviewers both treated it as a workmanlike budget shoe rather than anything innovative. Traction remained the headline strength, with the curved outsole biting well on clean indoor courts. Cushioning was minimal but acceptable for guards and lighter players. The Flytrap 6 wrapped up a six-year run that saw the budget Kyrie line become one of the most consistent fixtures in school and rec basketball.
