If nautical nonsense be something you wish, Kyrie Irving has a pair of shoes to sell you. Porous and yellow Irving is not—he’ll be Nike Air Max 1 Femme wearing the Brooklyn Nets’ black-and-white next year—but he is a massive fan of Spongebob Squarepants, so much so that he convinced Nike to partner with Nickelodeon and release a collection of shoes inspired by the Adidas ZX Flux Womens denizens of Bikini Adidas ZX Flux Mujer Bottom.SpongeBob might seem an odd concept for a shoe collaboration, but strangeness hasn’t stopped the flat-earth-evangelizing Irving yet, particularly when it comes to his sneakers. He’s done a www.brucolimare.it/ Friends-themed Nike Air Max Thea Femme pair, and a more recent “Third Eye Vision” colorway. Irving understands that breaking through the heap of sneakers today requires something a little more bold. “Seeing this stuff on the street is going to be, automatically Nike Air Max 97 Damen [snaps], a conversation,” he says.

The strategy is working for him: Irving’s shoes were the best-selling signature sneaker line of 2017, behind only LeBron James, according to data from NPD. NPD doesn’t track sales of signature lines anymore but NPD’s sneaker analyst Matt Powell tells me over email my assumption that ranking held last year is likely correct.I spoke to Irving about his new collaboration Adidas NMD Dames (out Nike Air Max 270 Donne August 10th, priced at $130), why Mr. Krabs is like Charles Oakley, and the life lessons he took from SpongeBob.Starting with the WNBA was a priority on my list. I pushed it with Nike and said, “Hey, Asics Gel Lyte 3 Femme let's get these Nike Air Max TN Mujer girls first access to this.” And basketball is going right now—obviously, you could choose the Finals, you can choose players in that space, but for me, I love the girls.

I met with Irving in the leadup to his major free-agency Nike Air Max 90 Mujer decision, and as I waited for him at the Nike offices in midtown, a TV chyron asked: “WHAT’S GOING ON WITH KYRIE?” The answer? Nothing much, really, aside from regular trips to Nike Air Max 270 Dames Bikini Bottom. He arrived wearing a pair of sheen red shoes with a splat of green on the side of the upper: the Mr. Krabs colorway, obviously. The rest of the set was arrayed in front of him: a radioactive pink-and-green www.palmyreroigt.fr Nike Air Vapormax Femme Patrick Star sneaker, a SpongeBob-yellow pair with a quivering swoosh, a soft aqua-blue Squidward shoe with Nike written out in Bikini-Bottom font across the heel, and a white model with a single pink Nike Air Max 97 Womens flower for the underwater Nike Air Presto Mujer city’s favorite (only?) Texan squirrel Sandy Cheeks.
