Bus-Inspired Sneakers

Kyrie Irving's Nike Collaboration Reveals Yellow Sneakers

A new Kyrie Irving Nike collaboration has revealed vibrant sneakers that were inspired by a very specific reference.

The collaboration is the second in the 'Nike Kyrie' series and is appropriately titled the 'School Bus.' The basketball player plays for the Cleveland Cavaliers and is known for his athletic skill -- having been dubbed with the nickname 'Bus Driver.' Much like school buses, these shoes are bright yellow with black accents. The tongue of the shoe is further influenced by a school bus, with a red stop sign that has Kyrie's name on it.

This Kyrie Irving Nike collaboration takes a humorous idea and combines it with design, allowing for a perfect shoe for fans of the player.
