In addition to its “Shutter Shades” counterpart, a new iteration of the Nike Kyrie 6 channels the classic features of playing cards.

Crafted with a tonal “Midnight Navy” upper, hues of white, blue and pink create the abstract-looking design of the cards. A visible 11 of diamonds print points to the theme — a number that has been a repetitive figure in Kyrie Irving‘s life. The colorful motif can be found stretched from the throat to the collar lining, plus on branding hits like the panel swooshes and Irving tongue logo. Additional details include an all-seeing eye emblem on the strap, a hamsa heel piece, a white midsole with a gradient stripe and tonal laces for a stunning finish.

Take a look at the imagery below. The Nike Kyrie 6 is available now on Nike JP for ¥17,050 JPY (approximately $160 USD). According to Foot Locker‘s release calendar, it’ll hit Stateside April 24.
