Nike gave Kyrie Irving a signature shoe in 2014, early for a guard, and built the line around the single thing his game is defined by: changing direction while holding the ball. That has meant traction taking priority over cushioning in almost every version, with the outsole pattern wrapped up over the toe and around the outer edge, because a guard driving at a defender spends much of a possession loading the parts of a shoe that are not technically the sole. The first model also carried personal detailing throughout, a habit the line kept. The sixth pairs a forefoot Zoom Air Turbo unit with a midfoot strap, and Irving wore it through his first season in Brooklyn. This multicoloured version is tied to an invitational tournament carrying his name, an event placement rather than a commercial release.
