New Kyrie 7 is a Nod to Brooklyn’s Hip-Hop Influence

With his just-revealed “All-Star” optionarriving with some San Antonio influence, Kyrie Irving’s next effort on his seventh signature sneaker returns to something a little closer to home. In honor of his Brooklyn Nets, the silhouette is paying homage to the New York borough’s influence on hip-hop culture.

How it does so is both overt and subtle at the same time. The color scheme itself is not quite as forthright, for example, with the layered mesh simply shading in white. Underneath, a dark layer of black dresses underneath, complimenting the polished forefoot molds, the outlined Swoosh, and textured heel whose embroidery depicts the Brooklyn (or even the Manhattan) bridge overtop a basketball-accented Boombox.

Though a release date for this Nike Kyrie 7 “Hip-Hop” was not revealed, the surfacing of its official imagery would suggest that a release isn’t too far away.
