Kyrie Irving’s late mom Elizabeth lost her battle with breast cancer when the All-Star point guard was only four years old. It’s never a good time to lose your mom, but at just 4? That’s heartbreaking. So it’s no surprise that the event has left a lasting impact on Irving, who has consistently honored her throughout his career, writing her name and the date she passed on sneakers he has laced up during games, to a fully-fledged series of sneaker collaborations with New Jersey sneaker store Sneaker Room dating back to 2017.
Sneakerroom founder Suraj Kaufman, who also lost his mother at an early age, has formed a tight bond with the Brooklyn Nets star over the years, with the two designing some of the most heartfelt sneaker collaborations from the past decade. Now, after returning for an ultra-limited four-piece Sneaker Room x Nike Kyrie 7 “Mother Nature” pack earlier this year, it appears that the two will be releasing a fifth “What The” pair, which combines elements of all four previously-released colorways.
There’s a lot going on with this release, with asymmetrical color blocking and infinite fine detail to be found it’s best for you to explore the official imagery below on your own.
As for a release, a date was not noted, but you should expect to hear an announcement on the Sneaker Room x Nike Kyrie 7 “Mother Nature” soon, so be sure to keep your eyes glued to our official Twitter account for further updates.
