We may not see Kyrie on the court for a long, long time, but you sure will see his eighth signature sneaker hit the hardwood soon.
As one of the most popular lineages in both the NBA and your local church league, the Nike Kyrie 8 (Kyrie Infinity) will be one of the most anticipated performance debuts of the year, despite Kyrie’s initial distaste for the design. Regardless of Kyries feels on the shoe — and his absence from the NBA hardwood, Nike will push on with the releases as scheduled, starting with this new blue and purple camo creation.
Surfacing here first in pre-school sizing, the pair continues the line’s DNA carryover, with mid-rise heel panels, lightweight forefeet materials, and enhanced forefoot eyestays for lockdown and stability. Continued callout to his mother and daughter ride the instep of the midsole, as too does the customary Kyrie signatures, ankle Swooshes, and sharp-toothed traction. There is, however, a significant absence of the All-Seeing Eye, and Kyrie’s KI logo — but these may be features that come and go between designs. Speaking of, this one comes clad in purple, blue, black, green, and red camo prints at the forefoot, with accompanying leathers and liners to its immediate surrounds — the latter used almost exclusively for the heel and outsole branding. The pair is then completed by golden Infinity/8 and signature logos at the tongue.
Though a debut for this multi-color camo Nike Kyrie 8 / Kyrie Infinity is not yet known, the sneaker is currently set to debut in a white colorway come November 20. As for this option, we’ll have to wait a few more minutes for details. Until then, enjoy a detailed look at the pair here below, and as always, keep your eyes glued to our official Twitter account for further updates
