Debuted in October 2016, Irving wore the Nike Kyrie 2 'Battle Grey' sneaker on opening day when receiving his first championship ring. A unique combination of textural elements come together on the upper including Hyperfuse mesh, a suede midfoot strap and a molded textile counter. Swooshes and special branding hits receive a metallic finish. The speckled Zoom Air midsole enables quicker heel-to-toe transitions over a translucent rubber outsole.
