Kyrie Irving Introduces the Nike Kyrie 4

Very similar to the way Kyrie revealed the Nike Kyrie 3 “Mamba Mentality” aka “Bruce Lee” model, he’s back on Instagram to officially introduce his Nike Kyrie 4.

“Closing the chapter on the Kyrie 3, and starting a new with the Kyrie 4,” said Kyrie. “Culture that power, learn it, understand it, and teach others through your actions: creating, educating yourself, being who you are truthfully, respecting others individual intent and journeys, whatever that individual purpose is, fulfill it soulfully without letting anything knock you down or deter you.” he added.

To close out the video, Kyrie gives us in-hand look at the “Confetti” Kyrie 4 that drops this Saturday, December 16th at select Nike retailers.

Closing the chapter on the Kyrie 3, and starting a new with the Kyrie 4. And I sit here and realize that although there is constant division and misunderstandings of actions and emotions going on daily(every moment), OUR world is far greater when we collectively realize that the true power and unwavering belief in ourselves is far more powerful than anyone else's belief. Culture that power, learn it, understand it, and teach others through your actions: creating, educating yourself, being who you are truthfully, respecting others individual intent and journeys, Whatever that individual purpose is, fulfill it soulfully without letting anything knock you down or deter you. We all need it. We all need US as ONE, filled with incredible individuality without judgement. It's about love and teaching, and ultimately showing respect without wondering whether or not it'll be given back because you always show gratitude regardless. I always give that to everything I do and I only hope we all do the same. All Love, the new chapter begins. #Kyrie4

NIKEiD Now Allows You to Customize Your Shoe in Real-Time

By

Dec 14, 2017

Thanks to augmented video mapping, the new NIKEiD Direct Studio in Niketown London allows for real-time, live design directly on a shoe.

Here’s how it works: An all-White version of the sneaker you are designing is placed in the NIKEiD Direct workspace. From there, the shoe is connected to the NIKEiD configurator, and as soon as color and material selections are made, they are projected onto the shoe for a clear, immediate representation of the final product, allowing you to experience your design coming to life right in front of your eyes. Once wrapped, your design heads into production at a NIKEiD factory.

The Nike Air Force 1 iD is currently available to customize in the NIKEiD Direct Studio with three different color palettes: the Essential, the Winterized and the NBA. More styles are set to be added in future seasons.

The experience is open now at Niketown London — no appointments necessary.

The NIKEiD Direct Studio is a partnership with Paris-based SmartPixels.
