Tomorrow night at TD Garden in Boston Kyrie Irving and the Celtics look to take a two games to zero lead over the under-seeded Indiana Pacers. The Celts somewhat staggered into the playoffs on the back of its star point guard. And, fittingly, he placed them on his broad shoulders in a low-scoring Game 1.
Irving will need to do much more in this round and potentially the next to return the Celtics to form. He’s played each game late in the season in his Nike Kyrie 5, for which a budding “UFO” edition has emerged today.
Standing on a ceremonious galactic theme that’s revolved throughout the Nike Basketball category for years, this Obsidian/Scream Green iteration likely plays on Irving’s grandiose thoughts about the earth and the unknown that lays beyond.
Expect the Nike Kyrie 5 “UFO” on April 20 at select Nike retailers globally including Foot Locker.
