Jared Ebanks While their relationship remains tumultuous at best, The Swoosh remains surgically selective on delving out the roster for Kyrie Irving’s eighth signature silhouette. As an official debut continues to loom, the latest images see the Kyrie 8 pay homage to the brand’s 50th anniversary.
Employing light-hued pastels throughout, a white and blue abstract print takes over the model’s mesh construction while a TPU grid-layer reinforces the mudguard with a strip of salmon pink flowing across the midfoot. The latter hue fills the sole unit underfoot whereas a cloudy cream and black outfit lays claim to the tongue tabs and heel collars affixed with “Just Do It” branding. Turquoise green Swooshes and an array of brightly-hued colors concludes along the insoles with titular red roman numerals stitched into the medial heel.
While we sit tight on the pair’s release, enjoy a first look at the Kyrie 8 “Just Do It” below in the meantime.
