Earlier this summer, many people credited Kyrie Irving for being the force behind the Cleveland Caveliers' win in the NBA final game and Nike created a new shoe design celebrating him for it.
The shoes are all-white at the front and black at the back, while the classic 'Nike' swoosh sits on the heel of the shoe. Across the shoe sits a black strap with multi-hued floral shapes and motifs, adding a unique but understated design to the otherwise bare shoe. The tongue of the shoe shows off a green colored 'Kyrie' logo.
After winning the NBA finals this year and being celebrated by Nike with another Kyrie 2 shoe, Kyle Irving is experiencing a year he will never forget.
