Trade rumours continue to swirl around Kyrie Irving, but that hasn’t stopped the runaway success of Nike’s Kyrie 3 shoe. The player was recently in Asia completing a tour with the sportswear company when he was gifted with a pair of the shoes sporting an image of the in-demand NBA player’s face on the tongue in place of the usual branded logo. The shoe uses a variety of colors which, put together in a mismatched manner, gives it a distinct patchwork-effect finish.

The exclusive gifting follows the release of the Glow in the Dark Kyrie 3, which came out just a few days ago.
