Elliot Santiago Now that the Kyrie 6 is well into the latter stages of its lifespan, loyal supporters of the Brooklyn Nets’ point guard can start to prepare for Irving’s next signature Nike silhouette to officialy arrive in the coming months. As of today, it appears first images of the hardwood-ready model have emerged, revealing a measurable amount of both aesthetic and constructional alterations.
Right off the bat, you’ll notice that they almost appear to be a reimagined version of the Kyrie 1, given that they possess a mesh-infused upper and tooth-like edges formed atop the lateral forefoot. There are no longer any mid-foot straps, or carved-out hand healer molds. Instead, a set of four overlays lock down at the bottom of the throat, and the heels are embroidered in with Kyrie‘s signature surrounded by repeating arch patterns. Furthermore, it appears that an inscription arrives at the bottom heel region which likely spells out the phrase “His Legacy Is Going To Live Forever”, a quote made from Uncle Drew himself following the tragic passing of the legendary Kobe Bryant. Take a gander at more images of this black and red colorway here below, and stay tuned as we learn more of its official launch date.
