I thought it was an interesting thing that we finally have a superstar with a Nike signature shoe line. Kyrie is one of the big faces of the nba. I don't really consider KGs shoe line as that was more of a china thing.

I always thought  rondo was going to get a shoe deal he seemed like a very popular player. I know he had a 1 off player edition shoe, but we got a real deal now

I also prefer the kyrie shoes to the other Nike player shoes. The lebron soldiers are just a bunch of tacky straps, and the KD shoes aren't nice





I made these in Nike id:

This is kind of cool.  I've been looking for a pair of green basketball sneakers that I like for about a year.  I'm sure there will be a a good looking green colorway in Irving's line soon.  I have a red Irving pair and not because I liked him as a player.

Pierce actually had his own line with Nike, but I think they only made kids sizes available.

KG used to, not sure if Adidas made a line just for him by the time he got to Boston, then I believe he switched to Anta and wore generic ones in Celtics colors.

Ray famously had PE Jordan's the majority of his career, very seldom were pairs made for the public.

I guess Kyrie has one of the better lines in the NBA after LeBron. Durant had some good ones back in the day.

Lebrons>Paul George>Irving and KD in my opinion.  The Georges are super comfortable and possibly underrated.

In terms of? Kyrie's have been Nike's top selling basketball sneaker 2 years running.

As a longtime sneaker collector, I'm giddy. I nearly crapped my pants when we were targeting Paul George - the PG1 is currently my favorite model of all the brands.

So I'm no sneakerhead, but I pick up a new pair of basketball shoes every so often. Last time I was in the market for shoes, I really liked the Kyrie's (read: wanted to get), but obviously couldn't get the shoes of a player I had a great distaste for who played for my team's rival. I ended up scouring the internet and finally finding a pair of the Isaiah Thomas Player Editions. Pretty funny how that worked out, eh? Well, my next shoes will probably be a pair of Kyrie's. That's a [dang] fine looking shoe. Feels good to get that off my chest.

Paul Pierce had a signature sneaker line with Nike. There were 4 models I believe. It's just that his contract stated that his signature shoe line would only be available in kids sizes.
