In addition to the red colorway, the Nike Kyrie 6 “Trophies” features a number of subtle details that tie into the Bulls’ title run in 1996. For instance, the glossy patent leather detailing nods to the iconic Air Jordan 11 which wore during that season, and the decorative sock liner mimics the carpet that was inside the Bulls locker room.
Additional details include the “23” and “45” on the medial portion of the shoe, along with “06/16/96” and “06/19/16″ at the base of the right and left tongues, referencing the date of MJ’s first title since his father’s passing and Irving’s one and only championship.
