Originality Shining on the Black limited edition shoes Jordan

WitzenbergShops: The Kyrie signature shoe line is arguably the strongest signature series the Swoosh has right now. What do you like most about the Black limited edition shoes Jordan?

Kyrie Irving: It’s the originality of it man. It’s a pillar in the shoe design game. Myself and Ben Nethongkome did a great job of starting in Seattle and getting into the basis of what shoes were and what were really appealing aesthetically.

It started in a small room in Seattle and then become a great creation that I’m very proud of.

Staying Creative

WitzenbergShops: You’re very intentional about the details and colorways that go into each of your models. What’s it like to have such a creative and supportive Nike team in your corner?

Kyrie Irving: It’s incredible man. When you have that type of platform to create what you like, you know you have a responsibility to pay homage to the culture that came before you and being a pillar in it now. It’s about respect.

Like I said, I pay a lot of respect to the OGs, the shoe designers who came before me and really set the precedent of a lifestyle shoe versus a basketball shoe. Trying to stay youthful with what I create and what’s great for the culture.

SB Inspiration & Upcoming Colorways

WitzenbergShops: We’ve seen the Kyrie line really evolve with collabs and colorways. What’s in-store for the Black limited edition shoes Jordan following that same momentum?

Kyrie Irving: Just look forward to it man. I took my time to really develop myself into the process of what it takes from the first design and idea to scrap it out a few times. Now, two and a half years later, it turns into the Kyrie 6. I’m really happy about it.

I’ve always done my signature shoe in packs. 1, 2 and 3. Now, 4, 5 and 6. To end my second trilogy is an opportunity that lets me be grateful to pay homage with collaborations like the Kyrie 5. In the Kyrie 6, it’s all about things that have always meant something to me deep in my heart. I’m looking forward to those stories.

The Kyrie Line Getting Love Across Basketball

WitzenbergShops: From the WNBA to the NCAA and all across the League, the Kyrie line has become a player’s favorite. What does that mean for you and how is that reflected on your newest model?

Kyrie Irving: I come from that. I come from the playground. I come from showing respect to a lot of the great individuals who are both in and outside the game of basketball. I wanted it continue that and that’s why I designed the 6 the way I did.

Cultural Inspiration on the Kyrie 6

Kyrie Irving: I paid respect to old Yeezys, old Jordan 8 Three Peat shirts to match "Pop Art" Black Tee quantity1s, old Nike SBs in terms of the colors and the aesthetics. The all seeing eye on the strap, Zoom Air on the forefoot.

I really took my time to understand what the details mean beyond just creating a shoe. This is like my baby. My other shoes have really taken time. I took the most time with this one in terms of getting out of the frame of just being a basketball aesthetically pleasing shoe.
