In December 2018, the Kyrie 5, the fifth installment of Kyrie Irving’s signature sneaker line, made its debut in the eye-catching ‘Black Magic’ colorway. Designed by Benjamin Nethongkome, these sneakers incorporate contemporary advancements, including a revamped lockdown mechanism inspired by the Venus flytrap. Additionally, the Kyrie 5 boasts articulated Air Zoom Turbo cushioning that provides support and comfort by enveloping the foot's sides and bottom. Furthermore, the design boasts an entirely new traction pattern meticulously engineered to enhance agility and permit swift changes in direction on the basketball court.
