The Kyrie 5 'Chinese New Year' sneaker is part of a collection of Nike footwear that celebrates the annual holiday. Released in February 2019, this special edition release of Kyrie Irving’s signature shoe takes inspiration from Chinese Zodiac symbols, commemorating the Year of the Pig with a black upper punctuated with Bai Jai Yi—a traditional Chinese patchwork pattern—on the Flytrap overlay and heel panel. A Nike Air Zoom Turbo sole features the colors of Chinese royalty.
