With summer’s cool breezes blowing and bright sun shining, Kyrie Irving fans are currently in the annual intermittent period between his signature models, but thankfully the Nike Kyrie Low 2 is here to hold down the fort in the meantime, and it’s appeared in a colorfully-accented new makeup. The Low 2 is much more than a simple placeholder between the Kyrie 5 and upcoming Kyrie 6 too, as it’s the perfect shoe for any and all summer hooping needs. This new colorway offers a lightweight and breathable white mesh base, then uses both cool blue and bright red for accents: the former appears on both the lower forefoot and heel, while the latter is used for a large midfoot overlay that also serves as part of the lacing system. A textured Swoosh provides branding, and Irving’s signature KI logo is stamped on the tongue in black and blue. The midsole features Zoom Air cushioning and a sculpted shape that fans of the line may see as somewhat similar to the beloved Kyrie 3, while a black outsole finishes things off. With the sporty colorway and streamlined look, it’s safe to say that this Kyrie Low 2 gives off some running shoe vibes as well. If you’re in the market for a sleek new pair of low-top basketball shoes this summer, you’ll be able to grab this new colorway on July 1st for $110 USD at the retailers listed below.
