In October, Suraj Kaufman and Kyrie Irving will once again join forces to release their latest collaboration.This collaboration has a painful background and a good meaning.Because they have a somber common ground in that they bost lost their mothers to breast cancer. This shared experience has led them to create collaborative footwear that raises money for breast cancer awareness and treatment.
First teased back in June alongside black and red-based iterations, Kaufman and Kyrie have opted to cover the whole shoe in bold red/gold embroidered hearts, accented by squiggly black lines that may very well be their mother’s signatures. Although the love is unquestionably abundant across the entirety of the design, it’s most noticeable on the heels, which feature an embroidered heart on the left shoe and an embroidered rose on the right shoe, both of which are surrounded by textured white detailing. Red Swooshes and a polka-dot sockliner add more flourishes, and the tongue’s standard Kyrie branding is replaced by a “MOM” graphic while the insoles provide a Sneaker Room Foundation hit and a loving message from Irving.
