Kyrie Irving’s sneaker legacy just got another chapter.
As per Sole Collector, Nike will introduce another sneaker line under the Boston Celtic’s name.
Nike revealed the information during its Investor Day in Portland where it described the Kyrie line as “the biggest shoe in the industry.”
The new line will be priced at $80, $40 less than what the Kyrie 3 runs in retail stores.
Irving joins fellow Nike basketball athletes LeBron James (LeBron, Soldier, Ambassador, Witness), Kobe Bryant (Kobe, Venomenon, Kobe Mentality, Mamba Instinct), and Kevin Durant (KD, Trey 5) who have multiple sneaker lines.
Forbes reported in May that Irving and James had the most sneakers sold, in terms of dollar value, from March 2016 to March 2017.
