Kyrie Irving's Nike signature line launched in December 2014 with the Nike Kyrie 1. Designed for elite point guards demanding aggressive traction and low-profile cut, the Kyrie series became one of Nike's most successful basketball signatures of the mid-2010s. In December 2022, Kyrie ended his Nike partnership; he signed with adidas in August 2023.
The Nike era (2014-2022)
- Nike Kyrie 1 (2014) — debut signature, curved outsole for tight cuts
- Nike Kyrie 2 (2015) — modular traction pattern
- Nike Kyrie 3 (2016) — lowest-cut basketball signature at the time
- Nike Kyrie 4 (2017) — introduced Flytrap as a cheaper variant sibling
- Nike Kyrie 5 (2018) — React foam introduction to the line
- Nike Kyrie 6 (2019) — final pre-Nets season with Boston
- Nike Kyrie 7 (2020) — Brooklyn Nets-era design
- Nike Kyrie 8 (2022) — released just weeks before the partnership ended
- Nike Kyrie Flytrap 1-4 — budget-friendly takedowns
- Nike Kyrie Infinity — post-numbered signature
Signature design elements
Every numbered Kyrie silhouette has featured: (1) aggressive multi-directional traction pattern, (2) low-cut ankle profile prioritizing quickness over lockdown, (3) colorful, often-vibrant colorways tied to Kyrie's on-court personality and cultural references, and (4) SpongeBob SquarePants, Friends television show, and other pop culture collaborations reflecting Kyrie's interests.
Memorable colorways
"Sabrina Ionescu" (2019), "SpongeBob SquarePants" series (2019), "Kyrie × Bandulu" (2019), "Kyrie × Concepts" (2020-2021), "Friends" (2019), "All-Star 'Lucky Charms'" (2020), "White/Obsidian" (2018), "Drew League" (2021), "USA 'Finals MVP'" (2016) — all became collector-favorite Kyrie releases.
The adidas era (2023-present)
Kyrie signed with adidas in August 2023 after his December 2022 Nike departure. His first adidas signature — the adidas Anta 1 (later renamed Kyrie Infinity adidas; official adidas Kyrie 1) — released in 2024. Kyrie's adidas line is in early development, with ongoing collaborative releases.
