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](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jaylen-brown) 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](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kd17) 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](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/zoom-freak-5).
