Nike Kyrie 5 UFO

The Nike Kyrie 5 UFO, the fifth Nike shoe inspired by NBA star Kyrie Irving, reflects his interest in alien life on Earth. The UFO colorway of the Nike Kyrie 5 features a black mesh upper, with black synthetic overlays at the heel and over the laces. The overlays have light-colored speckles, meant to make the overlays resemble a starry night sky. The black tongue sports light blue and green Kyrie branding and a basketball graphic. The lateral Nike Swoosh is light blue mesh with a light green outline, and the medial Swoosh is light green. The aqua-colored foam midsole features Zoom cushioning, and has a hit of orange with Zoom branding. The outsole is made of marbled aqua rubber, with traction sneaking up the midsole and toe. Our sneaker experts appreciate the eerie UFO details on this model, including a watchful eye pattern worked into the outsole traction, and an embossed "V" for Visitor on the heel. The Nike Kyrie 5 UFO was released on April 20, 2019, for a retail price of $130.
