We first saw the Vapor X Kyrie 5 release back in January and now the Swoosh is set to release a brand new colorway in celebration of the 2019 Wimbledon tournament in London. Elements like a Venus Flytrap-inspired lace covering, all-seeing eye graphic on the heel counter, and the Swoosh placement on each side panel have been borrowed from Irving’s fifth signature sneaker. Additional branding includes a mash-up of the Kyrie and NikeCourt logos on the tongue and insole.
Expect the Nike Vapor X Kyrie 5 ‘Wimbledon’ to release at select retailers and online at Nike.com soon. Retail price is set at $160.
Nike was founded in 1964 as Blue Ribbon Sports and initially operated as a distributor for the Japanese shoemaker Onitasuka Tiger (now known as Asics). It officially became Nike Inc. in 1971.The Nike swoosh was designed by Portland State University student Carolyn Davidson，The slogan “Just Do It” was inspired by serial killer Gary Gilmore, who said “let’s do it” just before he was executed by a firing squad in 1977.
