With Mamba Day 2019 coming up, Kyrie Irving has worked with Nike to create a new colorway for the Nike Kyrie 5 — "Mamba Mentality" — in celebration of the occasion.
The Mamba Day special pays homage to the Joker-inspired "Chaos" Zoom Kobe 5 from 2009. Dressed in purple and neon green with a dash of red on the heel, midsole and outsole, the rest of the silhouette features hits of white and silver which gives the shoe a futuristic look. Hints of snakeskin detailing can be found throughout the sneaker, alongside a bright green snake eye on the throat in tribute to the "Black Mamba" — NBA world champion Kobe Bryant‘s alter ego.
The Nike Kyrie 5 "Mamba Mentality" will be available April 13 at select retailers and online at the Nike store for a price of $130 USD.
