On Nov. 11, Brooklyn Nets’ Kyrie Irving, in collaboration with Nike, released the KYRIE 6 Preheat Collection.

The collection consists of 11 shoes inspired by 11 cities that hold special meaning to Irving, namely Beijing, Berlin, Guangzhou, Houston, Los Angeles, Manila, Miami, New York City, Shanghai, Taipei, and Tokyo.

The KYRIE 6 Manila colorway

The KYRIE 6 line stands out particularly because of its design and new tech, including the midfoot strap, premium leather, and ballistic mesh exterior. The motifs in the design are of significant meaning for Irving as well; they include the healer’s hand, all-seeing eye, number 11, and his personal mantra, “hungry and humble.”

The KYRIE 6 model serves as a canvas for each city-inspired shoe in the collection, with each one having a unique, 90s-reminiscent colorway.

The KYRIE 6 Jet Black colorway drops on Nov. 22.
