Concepts have revealed images of the latest collaboration with Brooklyn Nets star Kyrie Irvin, a relationship that stems from his two-year stint in Boston. The retail store definitely delivers another “Wicked” good sneaker.
The sneaker continues it’s Egyptian-themed establishment by last years’ Kyrie 5 “Ikhet,” this Kyrie 5 is inspired by Irving’s deep fascination with ancient Egyptian culture. Exploring the mysterious construction of the pyramids, and their connection to the solar system.
Dubbed “Orion’s Belt,” the design features three pyramids on the sneaker’s shroud in accordance with the actual size and order, as a reference to the Pyramids of Giza. Above sits the constellation on the tongue that in theory, these pyramids are perfectly aligned. The rumored these pyramids were submerged at one point come into play, as shades blues along the swoosh and heel-counter represent where the water levels would have receded over time. An exclusive sneaker coming complete with special packaging.
The Concepts x Nike Kyrie 5 “Orion’s Belt” will release on October 26 via Concepts NYC and CNCPTS.com at 11 a.m. EST. Retail is set at $140 USD.
