KYRIE I LAUNCHED BY NIKE

By MVP Staff on December 7, 2014

Cleveland Cavaliers guard Kyrie Irving has joined Kobe Bryant, Kevin Durant and LeBron James on Nikeâ€™s current roster of signature basketball athletes.

After months of meticulous testing and feedback, the KYRIE 1 shoe has been launched with designers claiming it was created to deliver three primary benefits:

-Pinpoint responsiveness with Nike Zoom Air cushioning in the forefoot.
– Dynamic grip with a 360-degree dynamic traction pattern wrapping the shoeâ€™s sidewalls.
– Ultra support and breathability with Hyperfuse construction for lockdown stability.

â€œAs a kid, imagining that Iâ€™d be in the Nike family with my own shoe was something that seemed almost unattainable,â€ said Irving. â€œNow that Iâ€™ve received the KYRIE 1 Iâ€™m honoured to represent Nike and its next generation of players.â€

Do you like our work?

We have a tiny favour to ask. In 2018 we set out to make Hoopsfix sustainable by building our relationship directly with our readers. Up until now, Hoopsfix has been creating editorials, videos and podcasts to provide sorely missing coverage of the British game and its distinct culture and community.

We have funded Hoopsfix with our freelance work creating basketball media, but sadly that means not only does it fall behind our client’s priorities, but some of those clients are the same organisations we need to report objectively on putting us in a conflicted position.

We want to devote more time to our mission of helping British basketball reach its potential, and produce even more content for the basketball community by making Hoopsfix a sustainable 100% independent business funded directly by our readers through Patreon.

If everyone who enjoys our content chose to support us, our future would be much more secure. For as little as $3 per month, you can support Hoopsfix – and it only takes a minute.

We are tremendously honoured and humbled to have a community of people who value what we do, and we look forward to being at the forefront of the British game as it continues to evolve.
