Jovani Hernandez As the Nike Kyrie Infinity continues to dominate hardwood courts everywhere, it is catering to the smallest hoopers with another kid’s-exclusive colorway.
Off-white takes over most of the upper’s synthetic leather construction, while hits of grey, red and yellow land across right and left shoes’ toe boxes. Faint purple enters the mix acrosss the lockdown straps visible near the vamp, as well as on the inner-lining. Kyrie Irving and his Swoosh team replace branding on the top of the left shoe’s tongue with the proposition’s theme, though the two pyramid-like graphics and number “7” don’t clearly expose the pair’s inspiration. Ribbed heel panels on Irving’s eighth signature sneaker also indulge in a mismatched pattern, while midsoles underfoot opt for a yellowed look that injects a touch of age to the modern-day basketball design. The beloved herringbone tread that accompanies the tired-and-proven cushioning enclosed up-top.
Enjoy official images of the kid’s pair ahead, and anticipate a Nike.com launch date.
