Nike Basketball has scheduled the latest version of the Kyrie model to launch in November, today Nike has released officially images of Irving’s latest signature shoe.
Designed with quickness and cutting in mind, The Nike Kyrie 7 comes equipped with several of Nike’s top-performing technologies. This includes data-informed traction pattern for grip during “shifty, unpredictable perimeter play” along with a supportive composite mesh upper, and ditching the strap from past Kyrie models for TPU (Thermoplastic Polyurethane) “fingers” on both sides that go down to the strobel. This was added to offer security and an improved fit.
Familiar features that have made a return are the articulated Air Zoom Turbo units in the forefoot for responsiveness and court feel, signature iconography of his mother and daughter, and a chassis that is carried over from the Kyrie 6.
“We’ve constantly made sure that the features of my shoe translated over to me and my game,” says Kyrie Irving, “Talking about creativity, you’re constantly exploring new ways of doing things. I’m always thinking about how we can grow existing silhouettes or try something completely new.”
Nike will launch the Kyrie 7 in four “Preheat” colorways inspired by sport, art, film, and music. These styles will release on November 11th in a “mystery box style,” which buyers won’t know which of the four pairs they have unlocked until a pair has been secured and then unboxed.
The “Preheat” styles include “Special FX” that pays homage to Irving’s love for filmmaking. The “Expressions” draws inspiration from the baller’s love for art and the freedom of artistic expression. The third iteration is “Icon of Sport”nodding to Irving’s list of “hoop influencers.” And the final of the collection, “Soundwave” inspired by his love for music and “how the vibrations influence his game.” Each pair will retail for $140 USD.

Then the the “BK Black” colorway for his current team Brooklyn Nets arriving November 16th for Nike Members and November 23rd elsewhere. The retail price tag is set at $130 USD.
Reebok has been having quite the resurgence as of late with their slew of fresh collaborations and recent revival of some of their greatest Basketball silhouettes. The Question has had collaborations with skate brand Ice Cream and former NBA MVP James Harden of the Houston Rockets, the Kamikaze II is set to return in its original glory but that team at Reebok would be ill-advised to leave out Hall of Fame Center Shaquille O’Neal’s debut silhouette — the Reebok Shaqnosis.
This time the Reebok Shaqnosis collides with First We Feast’s Hot Ones for a perfect amalgamation. The silhouette is dressed in an all Black leather and suede upper with its signature hypnotic rings colored with red, orange, yellow, and green to match the show’s Scoville meter. The Scoville meter itself appears on the tongue of the shoe as the pepper logo and the text “Scoville Level 1,995,000” directly pasted from the Youtube series.
The shoe’s sock liner features a flame graphic and the Hot Ones logo finds itself on the shoes’ insoles, a similarly inconspicuous flame graphic can be found on the toe of the shoe as well. This collaboration is a wonderful exercise in subtlety as it takes one of the series most iconic elements and transforms it. The Hot Ones x Reebok Shaqnosis is eye-catching yet understated especially for shoes based around the idea of eye-watering spiciness.
These Scoville raising shoes are set to burn your feet on November 19th at Reebok.com
Travis Scott continues to be an entertainment maverick, creating new experiences in each realm in which he chooses to delve. From virtual concert experiences in Fortnite, to creating a meal and match merchandise for McDonalds, to releasing his latest music video in IMAX theaters Scott has been breaking the mold and shattering expectations. Each Travis Scott event is a lightning strike in the collective consciousness of the culture.
After several collaborations with Nike and Jordan Brand, Travis Scott is bridging the gap once again. In a whirlwind move leading up to the launch of the PlayStation 5, Sony has announced Travis Scott’s new position with the Playstation team and with it a surprise new collaboration. Nike and PlayStation have collaborated a few times before but with Travis Scott’s new position as one of PlayStation’s ‘strategic creative partners’ this is surely bringing them into a new and noteworthy world.
In a video announcing the decision, Travis can be seen in a pair of white and grey Nike SB Dunk lows with his signature reverse swoosh on the lateral side as well as the PS logo near the heel. While the Paul George collaborations have been collectors gems and the PlayStation Air Forces are the stuff of legend with one of the world’s most popular entertainers on board this is sure to catapult this collaboration into the ionosphere.
Will these shoes ever see the light of day? Surely more information will come forth as we near the PlayStation 5’s November release date.
When Egon uttered the quintessential phrase “don’t cross the streams” in the 1984 classsic Ghostbusters, he didn’t have this Reebok collaboration in mind. Sony Pictures and Reebok have combined their collective Ecto devices and have squarely targeted those with a love for Halloween and a certain Ray Parker Jr. earworm of a theme song.
With a bit of ghostly enhancement Reebok has revived the Classic Leathers and the Alienstomper, aptly renamed the Ghostsmashers. The highly detailed kicks are a show of love for the iconic film series as the Classic Leathers pay homage to the team’s jumpsuits, enfolding the khaki colorway onto the time-honored silhouette. The shoe goes above and beyond with the spin on the Reebok branding, which has been altered to match the style of the name patches emblazoned on our heroes’ workwear. Ghostbusters branding on the tongue, the caution tape style strip on the back of the midsole, and a hint of glowing green ectoplasm on the outsole of the shoe really make you feel like you’re fighting the Stay-Puft Marshmallow Man alongside the team. The Classic Leather is topped off with “Ready to Believe You” text across the heel.
The Ghostsmashers are a must-have for every ghost-hunting arsenal. The dynamic retooling of the Ripley’s footwear from Alien takes an already bombastic silhouette and turns it up several notches. The Ghostsmasher takes direct inspiration from the Ghostbusters weapon of choice, the Proton Pack. The shoe even features Reebok Pump technology directed through a green cylinder that mirrors the one found mounted on the Ghostbusters’ weapons. These shoes are ready to send some ghosts back to their final resting place.
This pack is set to release on October 31 through Reebok.com
