As Mamba Day 2019 approaches, images of a special Nike Kyrie 5 “Mamba Mentality” have surfaced to commemorate the occasion. The sneakers are marked by a white and “Cyber” green colorway that recalls the Joker-inspired “Chaos” Zoom Kobe 5 that debuted ten years ago.

Neon details are dotted in several placed around the shoe, including on the Swooshes, heel logo and the vibrant outsole. A red paint splatter design is featured in the heel area, offering a speckled pattern that contrasts against the white mesh on the uppers. Purple laces and a metallic eyestay further the Joker influence, while red branding on the tongue adds the last pop of color.

The Nike Kyrie 5 “Mamba Mentality” is priced at $130 USD and expected to become available at select retailers and Nike’s web store starting April 13.
