Unlike LeBron James and Kevin Durant’s, Nike didn’t make an upgraded version of Kyrie Irving’s signature shoe for the postseason. Still, the Cavs point guard will wear a special make-up of the Kyrie 2 as he and LeBron look toward a potential championship.
Irving will wear the Nike Kyrie 2 Crossover going forward, a celebration of his signature ankle-breaking move. A white-based palette is offset by vibrant orange and maroon on the midfoot strap, with distorted text backed by navy blue on each heel. The color’s a perfect complement to the Cavs’ uniforms, and the flipped script reflects the illusory, head-turning nature of Irving’s moves.
While Kyrie will start rocking the Nike Kyrie 2 Crossover immediately, you’ll have to wait a bit; it hits stores on May 14.
