Released in March 2017, the Nike Kyrie 3 ‘Duke’ sneaker pays homage to the basketball player's alma mater by incorporating the team's colors and showcasing the university's name in a varsity style on the Flyknit upper. The sides of the shoe feature Chenille Swooshes, while the tongues are adorned with embroidery of Irving's jersey number and logo. Furthermore, the Zoom Air midsole is seamlessly curved around the matching design of the grooved rubber outsole, providing optimal support for Irving's agile movements during games.
