[Nike](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chipotle-x-nike-air-force-1) is allowing consumers to personalize their pair of Nike Kyrie 2 basketball shoes via NIKEiD with a specialized 'Ky-rispy [Kreme](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/krispy-kreme-japan-donuts)' print that turns the shoes into a designed sneaker that references the [fried pastry](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/krispy-kreme-and-crocs). The shoes are subtle in their nod to the sweet food, focusing more so on the athletic look of the sport sneaker.

The 'Ky-rispy Kreme' print is a technicolor pattern available specifically through NIKEiD that combines food with sport culture. The print features a circular embossed pattern paired with bright pink, orange and purple hues swirled together on the back heel of the basketball shoe. The sneaker is complete with a red and white speckled bottom, white soles, red laces and green Nike swoosh logo.
