Kyrie Irving drew upon the talents of Taco from Odd Future to design the latest iteration of the Kyrie 5 sneaker silhouette. The new tonal makeover has yet to be released on the market but it recently made its public debut on the court during the recent game between the Boston Celtics and the Milwaukee Bucks.
The new sneaker model is comprised of a woodland camouflage design all across its uppers in a dark tonal scheme and that rests atop a black midsole. For contrasting details, the branding is seen in the form of the Swoosh in metallic silver using reflective 3M materials. There are also vibrant orange tooling across the lining inside, around the Swoosh and throughout the outsoles.
Taco's branding is translated through a logo patchwork implemented at the vamp and it is rounded off with his signature at the midsoles. The latest Kyrie 5 Taco sneakers are set to drop on November 16th in North America and November 24th in China online at Nike.
