- Reinforced Heel Counter: Molded heel cup with firm internal padding eliminates slippage and provides exceptional containment during aggressive plays.
Superior Traction & Abrasion Resistance

- Abrasion-Resistant Upper Construction: Durable engineered mesh with strategic overlays withstands high-wear areas, ensuring long-lasting performance and durability season after season.
Gray Beige Colorway Design

Subtle geometric patterns and engraved details throughout the upper reflect Kyrie's spirituality and personal mission, making each pair both a performance tool and a statement piece.
