Any sneaker released these days is going to have its share of detractors, but the person whose name is on the shoe would ideally not be one of them.
That doesn't appear to be the case with Nike's new Kyrie 8.
A leaked picture of the new Kyrie Irving sneaker drew a blistering review from the Brooklyn Nets point guard himself on Instagram. Irving deemed the new shoe to be "trash" and claimed to have no hand in its design or marketing.
The full comment:
I have nothing to do with the design or marketing of the upcoming #Kyrie8, IMO these are trash!
