Kyrie Irving Shoes

Nike's Kyrie line of sneakers has been a rage among sneakerheads ever since his first edition of Kyrie 1s rolled into sneaker stores worldwide in late 2014. Including all editions of every player's signature sneakers, Kyrie Irving Shoes are the kicks of choice for the highest number of NBA players. Kyrie 3s and Kyrie 4s also earned a lot of takers in 2016 and 2017 respectively.

The Nike Kyrie Irving shoe line has grown quite a bit as the latest entrant in 2024 is the Anta KAI 1 shoe which he is wearing with the Chief Hélà colorway in the Western Conference Finals against the Minnesota Timberwolves.

Let's count down to SK's picks among the 5 best colorways of the Kyrie Irving Shoes:

#5 Kyrie 4 'Spyder'

With a black/purple colorway that is littered with splashes of white paint all along the shoe, this version of the Kyrie 4 is a sight to behold. While the sole itself is blue and is set up with a high-rising blue sole that merges with the cushion at 3 different points at the outside, the trademark Nike swoosh is colored purple. The swoosh itself is featured on both the inside as well as the outside of the shoes.

The Kyrie 4 'Spyder' colorways were worn by then-rookie Jayson Tatum in game 4 of the Eastern Conference Finals at the Quicken Loans Arena, home to the Cleveland Cavaliers. The rookie will also be featured in the upcoming slides, having sported Kyrie Irving Shoes at various points of the season.

#4 Kyrie 4 'Confetti' multicolour

Kyrie Irving's ball-handling skill is something way out of the ordinary for even the average NBA player to get a grip of while defending him one-on-one. As if that weren't enough trouble for him already, barely a glance at these remarkably pleasantly colored kicks would be even more off-putting for him.

The 'Confetti' colorway was one of the most awaited among all Kyrie Irving Shoes releases. The left boot is predominantly purple in color with a blue tick, while the right boot is colored lemon green with a pink rear section on the inside. The 'Confetti' colorway contains a reference to the All-Seeing Eye, as we reported earlier this season.

#3 Kyrie 4 'Red Carpet'

Nike takes great care of sneakerheads who are faithful to the brand, and in one of the more unconventional shoe releases of the year, they made the Kyre 4 'Red Carpet' colorways available only to select users of their Nike SNKRS app in their May release. The message that needs to be sent is a string of four emojis—a basketball, fire, clapper, and skeleton key. After sending the correct code, the customer receives a link that showcases the Red Carpets in all their glory through AR.

Gold accents can be seen on the Kyrie logo on the tongue and Swoosh branding. Another unique touch is the red velvet sockliner to mimic velvet ropes seen on a red carpet. There's no denying that these kicks are straight fire.

#2 Kyrie 4 'Equality'

The Kyrie 4 'Equality' colorways were unveiled by the 5-time All-Star in one of the marquee matchups as the Celtics visited the Oracle Arena with Kyrie facing off against 2-time MVP Stephen Curry. The pair combined for 86 points in the game, and were as unguardable as any player on the night.

Kyrie's shoes certainly matched the excellence the point guard displayed on the night. Released in January for Black History Month, the 'Equality' colorways are plain white in color with 'Equality' scribbled across the shoes. The right boot has a Celtics green sole, while the left boot is red in color. The swoosh itself is black, giving this version of Kyrie Irving shoes a quiet brilliance of their own.

#1 Kyrie 4 'Wheaties'

Tatum debuted the 'Wheaties' against the Sixers in Game 4 of the Eastern Conference Semis

The most-awaited and smashing of all Kyrie 4 releases are the 'Wheaties'. Nike showed off these bold orange sneakers with white cushioning in the playoffs when Jayson Tatum wore these colorways in the Eastern Conference semifinals against the Philadelphia 76ers.

The 'Wheaties' are super limited edition, with only 100 of these beauties released on the open market. The sneakers' colors are inspired by the cereal box of the same name, with a bright orange upper accented with white branding and blue borders. Down low, the outsole combines brown gum with white splashes, presumably to mimic the look of cereal and milk.
