Kyrie Irving’s sneakers

[HooperScooper]

So I’m at the Celtics game and I noticed the back of Kyrie’s sneakers. Huskies. Picture attached. Why does he have UConn on his sneakers? Finally a smart Dukie! Can you buy these?

 

[Waquoit]

Isn't he women's team fan like Kobe?

 

[RayIsTheGOAT]

That's awesome.
Kyrie is a fan of the women's team and is friendly with both Geno and Hurley. He was on campus a few months back.

So he walks into the UCONN locker room and gets fitted for free sneaks? At least I pay taxes in this state. I’m size 10 1/2, so UCONN send me a pair.

It’s his signature shoe with the husky logo on it.. He can get any iteration of it from Nike anytime he wants.. with that said, not sure why he chose to wear the UConn logo pair today but it’s nothing but positive for our brand recognition and I love it

Side note: I’d be irked by this if I were a Duke fan.. can you imagine one of our alumni in the NBA (use Kemba or Drummond as example) wearing a shoe with the Duke logo on it?!

Somehow this will end in a NCAA violation against us.

He can get any Nike shoe he wants at any time.

Good press for us.

Great. Now we're associated with a flat earther

He recanted. Said he was trolling. We're good.

 

[Dream Jobbed 2.0]

The team got signature Kyries and I think Paul George’s this year.

Kyrie has never been known for his loyalty

 

[UConn Esq]

These were a special edition made by Nike for friends and family of the UConn program. This is not Kyrie asking for a shoe with the UConn logo on it. They used the Kyrie 5s so they probably gave him a pair since its a rare version of his signature shoe.

 

[Horatio]

His sneakers are pretty good by the way.
Probably the best amongst all current basketball shoes. I just wish they made them in high top.

 

[Doctor Hoop]

Sue Bird, maybe?

Sue Bird, Kyrie Irving.

So no chance he's trolling now?

If we ever got big and tall matching urinals to these sneakers, we would be in business. LOL

 

[HooperScooper]

Written on his left sneaker is "10/23 Whiplash". We were trying to figure out what that means.

Metallica. Live version. Bootleg.

Weird, are those just his warmup sneaks? I don't think they are the current 'Kyrie's'

He played the game in them so I'd have to say no to your question.

You just made a previous creepy and whacked out post even creepier. Way to go Chief.

You have zero humor or even the slightest awareness that humor is something others use or enjoy outside your parent’s basement.

I follow all the UConn guys on Instagram and I know there are Kobe A.Ds and KD 11 shoes.

Guys wear throwbacks all the time now tho. Ever since they opened up the shoe game, guys go crazy. PJ Tucker's been playing in sneakers from 15 years ago (LeBrons).
