In August 2019, Nickelodeon collaborated with Nike to pay tribute to Kyrie Irving's admiration for the iconic show SpongeBob SquarePants, which was celebrating its 20th anniversary. The Nike collaboration resulted in a unique 'Squidward' version of the shoe, representing the grumpy octopus character. The shoe features a 'Frosted Spruce' mesh upper and a lace shroud that matches the color scheme. To capture Squidward's characteristic cold and indifferent expression, his face is depicted on the sockliner. Furthermore, the color palette used for the midsole and rubber outsole mirrors the everyday outfit of the fictional character, serving as a true emblem of his persona.
