Nike Swoosh branding featured on lateral side
Kyrie Irving’s first signature shoe, the Nike Kyrie, dropped in late 2014 when Irving was a 4th year player and already an established star. He was the 20th player to get a signature shoe with Nike, but the first one since Kevin Durant, whose shoe the Nike KD debuted in 2007. The Kyrie line proved quite popular in the NBA, with a Nike Windrunner Heavy Duty Jacket opting for it as their primary game time shoe.
