With rising NBA superstar Kyrie Irving already taking on the responsibility of being an inspiration and role model young basketball fans, it is only fitting that his first signature shoe with Nike, the KYRIE 1, be made available for youth sizes. These shoes are perfect for young basketball players who are working hard on their game, having a good time and looking to excel out on the court.
This iteration of the KYRIE 1 includes most of the features of the adult version but has also been customized to take into account the specific and unique demands that infants, toddlers, pre-schoolers and grade schoolers place on their footwear.
For example, the grade school version features Hyperfuse construction for lockdown stability, flexible cushioning and a lightweight feel.
