Whether it be his love for the residents of Bikini Bottom, the honoring of his mother, or even the “Mamba Mentality” that he carries with him every night he steps foot on the floor, personal connections are often found within Kyrie Irving‘s signature kicks. And being that family has always played a significant role in the All-Star point guard’s life, he’s dedicating this next Kyrie 6 variation to his beloved older sister (and at one point personal stylist) Asia Irving. Expressive of her fashion-forward mind, these hoops-ready kicks stand out mostly due to their black/charcoal grey camouflage graphics – which almost evoke memories of signature BAPE patterns – printed across the toe box, as well as the embroidered medial walls that house her namesake. Against its stark black backdrop arrives a minty green throat held together by a set of violet shoe strings, followed by a mid-foot strap that welcomes in a tiny Swoosh insignia towards its tip for the first time. Enjoy the first look here below, and stay tuned for more information regarding its official release likely on Nike.com and at select stockists.
