While Kyrie Irving anxiously awaits for his return to the basketball floor, the shifty point guard and his Nike camp have been putting forth their efforts into creating more plans for his signature shoes. Ever since quarantining become the new norm, several colorways of the Kyrie 6 including Bruce Lee alternates, N7 entries, and most recently a family-connected rendition specially made for his sister Asia have been teased. And now the Brooklyn Nets superstar is giving us even more insight of what’s to come as this brand new “Eleven” variation has just surfaced on our radar. Being that 11 is a number of significance to Irving in ways such as it’s his father’s favorite number, it’s the amount of letters in his name, he played eleven games at Duke, etc., this theme makes sense and they may even serve as a possible sequel to his Singles’ Day pre-heat capsule from 2019.
Visually, stark black wraps a majority of the real estate, and is coupled with red and blue text accents spelling out “Eleven” in similar fashion to an LED digital marquee. Additionally, the Swooshes have been coated with an iridescent exterior to toss in some vibrant flair. Peep a first look here ahead and find these likely hitting Nike.com and select retailers in the near future for $130.
