The Concepts x Nike Kyrie 6 “Khepri” Releases December 27th

The Egyptian themed collaborations continue for the two, starting with the pink-based Khepri. It’s named after the Egyptian solar deity represented by the scarab beetle, the god of creation, Khepri is associated with resurrection — explicitly known for rolling the sun above the horizon each morning and carrying it through the other world after sunset. The word Khepri itself also means “to transform,” a thematically fitting truth for Irving’s continual development.

For the kids-exclusive Concepts x KYRIE 6 Golden Mummy, the cycle of history manifests in a colorway that simultaneously pays homage to Concepts’ founding in 1996 and the discovery of the Valley of Mummies (an event that spurred a revival of interest in Egyptian history) that same year. Metallic gold finishes reference the riches within the tombs, while a series of hieroglyphs remind how much more there is to be written as the future unfolds.

The Concepts x Nike KYRIE 6 “Khepri” and grade school-exclusive “Golden Mummy” release Friday, December 27, 2019, at Concepts stores in Boston and New York at 10:00 am ET, and online at CNCPTS.COM at 11:00 am ET
