How you doin’ sneakerheads? Nike Kyrie 5 Black is hitting the sneaker streets this month with hints from the hit tv show F.R.I.E.N.D.S! Of course, if you are an avid fan of that 90’s classic, then you didn’t need any further introduction other than the first sentence! The show is over for almost 15 years, and it still leaves a mark on every other sitcom. The dynamic group of six friends living in an apartment complex of NY face their life, love, and many complex situations together. May 6th is the 15th anniversary of the show’s last episode. Kyrie Irving is a die-hard fan of this show, and he even has a tattoo representing it! With this level of being a fan, who do you think could have done justice to the tribute?
Irving shows off the show’s logo colours boldly, and you can only spot the connection to the show if you are a FRIENDS fanatic. The construction stays loyal to the original Kyrie 5 and has a secure boot-like design. Black knit walls, and textile overlays keep your feet comfy and snug. The hints from FRIENDS are quite apparent. Follow @FastSoleUK for more.
Let’s not forget how brilliantly this 90s show is still going on as one of the top favourites and still defining generations! Some of us grew up with every laugh track, every snarky retort from Phoebe, all the obsessive vibes from the Gellers, straightforwardness from Rachel, sarcastic bits from Chandler, and the innocence of Joey. The show starts the intro with the casts playing with yellow, blue, and red umbrellas. Kyrie took those colours as representatives of their friendship, love, affection, and trust.
The three colours pop from the lace-connectors and outsole brightly. A mega white Swoosh sticks on the heel right above the small F.R.I.E.N.D.S tag. A white midsole, Irving’s signature and tongue branding finishes off the look. The apparels releasing alongside have accents from the same popping hot colours. Nike Kyrie 5 Black releases May 16th via listed UK and European retailers.
