For the Clarinet King.
Officially unveiled earlier this week by the new Nets point guard himself, was the Nike Kyrie “SpongeBob SquarePants” Collection, a special five-piece pack of character-themed kicks that celebrate the cult television show’s 20th anniversary. In 1999, the world fell in love with an incurably optimistic sponge. 20 years, over 200 episodes and countless memes later, SpongeBob SquarePants continues to inspire joy, connecting with generations of super-fans, like Kyrie Irving. In collaboration with Nickelodeon, the Kyrie x SpongeBob SquarePants collection celebrates Kyrie’s love for one of television’s most memorable shows and cultural phenomenon bringing Bikini Bottom to the basketball court…and beyond!
The SpongeBob x Nike Kyrie Collection features five unique colorways; including Bob himself, his grumpy next-door neighbor Squidward, best friend Patrick Star, his money-hungry boss and Krusty Krab owner Mr. Krabs and the ultra-aggressive land mammal Sandy Cheeks. And today we get an official look his short-fused neighbor’s pair, the SpongeBob x Kyrie 5 “Squidward”
Squidward Tentacles is a full-time lover of the finer things in life and a part-time cashier at the Krusty Krab who can’t stand his neighbors, SpongeBob SquarePants and Patrick Star. Fortunately, they remain blissfully unaware of Squidward’s bitterness. In collaboration with Nickelodeon, the Kyrie 5 “Squidward” arrives in the iconic octopus’ turquoise tones.
