Cartoon-Themed Basketball Shoes

Kyrie Irving is Releasing SpongeBob SquarePants Shoes

— May 24, 2019 — Fashion
Kyrie Irving is releasing SpongeBob SquarePants shoes after teaming up with Nickelodeon for the launch. Bright yellow colors reveal how the shoe is clearly inspired by the show's protagonist. The material of the shoe has a texture that is intended to look like a sponge while its sole uses colors inspired by the TV character. Brown is featured on the bottom of the sole and is the color of SpongeBob's pants, white is at the back of the sole and is the color of SpongeBob's shirt, while the red at the front of the sole represents SpongeBob's tie.

Kyrie Irving has had two recent shoe releases and this will be his third this year. No release date is set for the SpongeBob SquarePants shoes.
