Kyrie Irving and Nike Unveil His First Signature Shoe, the 'Kyrie 1'
Kyrie Irving was a No. 1 overall pick and has been named to two NBA All-Star teams, and now it looks like his ascent to stardom is complete.
On Wednesday, December 3, Nike unveiled the 22-year-old Cleveland Cavaliers point guard's first signature shoe. Welcome "The Kyrie 1."
Bleacher Report's Lance Fresh gives us an exclusive look:
The first thing you'll notice is the logo, which shows a streamlined "K" and "I" intertwined. This logo appears on the outside of the tongue (with his signature on the inside), as well as on the sole.
Next, your eyes may gravitate to the spiky heel cup, which complements the zig-zag side sole.
Yeah, Kyrie went bold.

The whole upper section appears to be bound in a net-like material, which likely alludes to the nets Kyrie finds the bottom of on a regular basis.
