The Nike Kyrie 5 Chinese New Year 2019 is a special edition basketball shoe that is part of the signature line of sneakers designed for and endorsed by NBA player Kyrie Irving. It was released in celebration of the Chinese New Year.<br><br> The shoe’s upper features a distinctive and eye-catching design that incorporates vibrant red and multicolor elements, including intricate patterns and graphics inspired by Chinese culture. This Kyrie 5 iteration is made from mesh material and incorporates Flywire technology which provides support, locking down the upper to the sole unit. This shoe also has a rubber outsole with a unique traction pattern that takes inspiration from Kyrie’s Hamsa-like hand tattoo.<br><br> One thing we love about the Nike Kyrie 5 Chinese New Year 2019 is the cushioning technology used in the midsole. The shoe incorporates Nike's Zoom Air cushioning in the forefoot, which offers responsive cushioning that’s ideal for quick actions on the court. The shoes were first released at the retail price of $130 in February 2019.<br><br>
