After the unveiling of the Mystery Box-release Kyrie 7 Pre-Heat collection, it’s become clear that Kyrie and co. will be delivering some of the most personal, storied, and inspired releases in all of footwear for 2021. It’s a long-running tradition of Kyrie to incorporate his personal influence into his signature line, this time revisiting the “Roswell Rayguns” concept utilized by Nike SB in 2005 on this Nike Kyrie 7 “Raygun”
As a child, Irving was a skateboarding enthusiast, which has led him to not only wear some of the most beloved SB Dunks off-court, but also bring their colors and motifs to his signature collection. Back in 2017, the Brooklyn Nets guard — then a Boston Celtic — brought the fictional basketball team to life on a Kyrie 3 PE. This time, though, the design won’t follow the traditional design of the OG Dunk, instead opting for a new interpretation whilst using the same palette of black, white, orange, and yellow — though it does include the dual-wielding alien motif made so famous by Nike SB.
Though a release date has not yet been set, it is very likely that these, along with the just-previewed Nike Air Force 1 Low “Raygun” will arrive before year’s end. Until further news presents, you can take in a detailed look at the pair here below, and be sure to keep your eyes glued to our official Twitter account for further updates.
