Kyrie Irving’s next tv-themed Nike Kyrie 5 collaboration will be with Nickelodeon’s SpongeBob SquarePants. This pair marks the second tv inspired Kyrie 5 to release with the first being the ‘Friends’ edition. The overall look takes the same theme from Nickelodeon’s SpongeBob SquarePants. This iteration of the Kyrie 5 is a straight nod to the cartoon’s lead character, SpongeBob and his iconic look. The Gum rubber outsole is for his pants. Other details includes a squiggly Swoosh on the panels and the Nickelodeon logo on the shroud which completes the look.
Nike releases official photos of the “SpongeBob” and “Patrick Star” colorways from the SpongeBob SquarePants x Nike Kyrie Pack that will release on August 10th. The retail price tag is set at $130 USD.
