Nike Kyrie 2 Light Bone Gum Release Date 01

Kyrie Irving is currently cutting up international defenses, tying Olympic records, and leading Team USA to a 5-0 record through the preliminary round. He’s doing so in a number of patriotic Nike Kyrie 2 PEs, but back home Nike Basketball has already planned a number of new releases for Kyrie’s second signature silhouette before the Kyrie 3 comes out. This Kyrie 2 “Light Bone” is perfect for the end of summer, as lifestyle sensibilities like a classic gum bottom help push the pair into casual territory.

The Kyrie 2’s construction focuses on a lightweight ride with enough unique grooves in the bottom to help guards slice and cut up opposing defenders with a quick first step. That traction pattern is beautifully highlighted here through a gum outsole while the upper focuses on simplicity through the use of Light Bone and Reflect Silver touches. Brief accents of red add just enough vibrancy. The Kyrie 2 “Light Bone” will arrive at retailers on August 31st for $120 USD, but just in case you can’t wait, grab your pair right now on eBay.
