Kyrie Irving and Concepts have been collaborative cohorts since the release of the
NikeKyrie 4 “Green Lobster” in 2018, and now the two are continuing their partnership with a fresh take on the Kyrie 7. Continuing the exploration of Kyrie’s fascination with ancient Egyptian culture — which also served as the centerpiece of the Kyrie 6 “Khepri” and “Golden Mummy” plus the Kyrie 5 “Orion’s Belt” — the new style is doused in special branding and boasts an undeniably bold color scheme as well.
Mesh uppers are dressed in a bright ocean blue, while the midsoles take on vibrant orange tones for a colorblocking scheme similar to the one seen on the SB Dunk Low “Gulf.” Though this is a coincidence, the wide swath of special detailing is entirely intentional. The lateral side equips a metallic gold winged Swoosh, while the lateral side presents a large gold Eye of Horus graphic, one of Kyrie’s signature symbols. Both the lace anchor and the bottom two eyestays feature more special Egyptian symbols, ranging from an all-seeing eye to an ankh.
