The Cleveland Cavaliers have once again played their way to the Eastern Conference Finals, sweeping the Indiana Pacers and Toronto Raptors in their first two rounds.
As a result of his fine play in the postseason, Mountain Dew has teamed with Nike to create a limited edition colorway for Kyrie Irving‘s signature shoe, the Kyrie Irving 3.
Irving is known as one of the best ball-handlers in the NBA. Designers at Nike and Mountain Dew took that fact into consideration when brainstorming their new concept. Those lucky enough to acquire the new shoe will find a special “K.A.R.E.” kit tucked neatly inside the box. What does K.A.R.E stand for, you ask? It’s an acronym for “Kyrie’s Ankle Recovery Equipment.” Fitting, as Irving often makes defenders look silly with his crossover and hesitation dribbles.
The new colorway will feature neon Mountain Dew colored accents and a white upper. Inside the box, consumers will find an iPad with a Kyrie highlight reel, autographed X-Ray of a broken ankle, five limited edition cans of Mountain Dew, a first aid kid, and an emergency phone.
According to Sole Collector, Nike will only produce 32 units of this exclusive shoe, and they won’t be sold in stores. However, Sole Collector also says that their readers will have a chance to win a pair.
