Cleveland Cavs point guard Kyrie Irving debuted his huarache inspired Kyrie 2 PE against the Utah Jazz not too long ago. Many of us were hoping Nike Basketball would be releasing the shoe officially, and it looks like dreams do come true. On June 7, 2016 the Kyrie 2 “Kyrache” willing be dropping at select Nike Basketball retailers for $120.
The Kyrie 2 borrows its theme from the OG Air Flight Huarache that released in ’92. That OG was made famous by the Fab Five amoung others. The new school version keeps many of the same elements including the “Bold Berry” colorway. The shoe also has the same rubbr tongue logo, but the huarache logo has been replaced by Irving’s logo instead.
Like the LeBron 13, the Kyrie 2 has combined the old with the new to create something truely unique. Taking the things that were most cherished in the 90’s and bringing them into 2016 has been a great idea so far. Since borrowing themes from the past seems to be Nike’s new trend, I can’t wait to see what they might have in store for others with popular shoes like KD.
If these are a must cop keep the date marked on your calendar. Check out Irving wearing his signature Kyrie 2 “Kyrache”, and compare it to the OG pair from ’92. What are your thoughts of the mash up?
