The Nike Kyrie 7 Chinese New Year was introduced in 2021 to celebrate the Year of the Ox. It was inspired by the Chinese knot, which is meant to symbolize good fortune. You’ll see signs of the Chinese knot scattered throughout this version of Kyrie Irving’s seventh signature sneaker with Nike. The gold metallic Swooshes on the sides of it, for example, appear to be constructed out of a series of knots. There is also a red knot design that is featured prominently on the heel behind a Swoosh. Black, teal, pink, and gold might not initially seem as though they would work well together, but they do within the context of this sneaker’s design. The Nike Kyrie 7 Chinese New Year was released on March 9, 2021, and retailed for $140.
