Sneakerheads have surely been highly anticipating this ultra-stylish Concepts x Nike collaboration, which dropped on December 27th. The modern release debuted the Kyrie 6 silhouette in two alluring colorways that are incredibly chic – the ‘Khepri’ and the ‘Golden Mummy.’
The models in the Concepts x Nike collaboration boldly draw inspiration from the Egyptian God of Creation and thus, the brands are able to accent with a cultural flair. While ‘Kherpi’ is named after the Solar Deity that is "represented by the scarab beetle," the ‘Golden Mummy’ is informed by the Valley of Mummies. The former model is available in adult sizing and the latter is offered in grade school and pre-school sizes.
