Nike Basketball will continue the theme releases of the Kyrie 5. After showcasing the ‘Friends’ edition we now take a look at a UFO inspired release. This new colorway of the Nike Kyrie 5 sports a bold colorway that has a go-to look for the Spring season. It features an Obsidian upper with White speckled detailing as a nod to the nighttime sky. Flashing hints of Green and Blue accents are used on the tongues and outsole highlighted with a basketball-spaceship logo on the signature shroud.
The UFO Nike Kyrie 5 will release at select retailers and online at Foot Locker on April 20th. Retail price is set at $130.
