While it may have changed its name, the Nike Kyrie Infinity (previously the Kyrie 8) can’t escape the circumstances of its debut, upon which Kyrie Irving himself expressed his disdain for the design. But in spite of the athlete’s opinion, the shoe continues to make additional appearances and will soon do so in a “Black/Red” colorway.
Despite what its palette may suggest, the pair is not quite an ode to Jordan Brand’s best. Black takes majority stake, dyeing everything from the mesh toe box to the tumbled leather side panel. The Swoosh as well as part of the midsole are then highlighted in a bright red, matching not just the tongue’s own logo hits but also the snakeskin that accents both the eye stays and heel counter.
Enjoy an official look at this newest Kyrie Infinity below. These are likely to pop up on Nike.com and at select retailers very soon.
In other news, the Air More Uptempo I Got Next should be hitting retailers soon as well.
