Nike and Kyrie Irving have teamed up with Australian tennis star Nick Kyrgios for a special sneaker collaboration that blends both of their on-court sneakers.
Irving debuted his special edition Kyrie 5 last night during the Celtics' 21-point victory over the Brooklyn Nets. The kicks, featuring a white base highlighted by hot lava accents, draw on inspiration from Kyrgios' low-top Nike Vapor X which will be releasing later this week.

According to Nike, Kyrgios will wear his Kyrie 5-inspired Vapor X in Melbourne.
"The low-cut tennis version features the Kyrie 5 Flytrap-inspired upper for a lockdown fit and a Vapor X outsole, which includes a heel Zoom Air unit and is reinforced in high-wear areas to sustain Kyrgios through hardcourt play."
The Nike Vapor X "Kyrie 5" will launch at select Nike retailers on January 14. Check out additional images embedded below.
