<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">When it comes to sneakers, everyone has their opinion of what they like when they’re about to make a purchase. Some of the determining factors on deciding if the sneaker will work for you are the color, price, and design. Especially if it&#8217;s a sneaker that&#8217;s high in demand, you have to make sure it is right! NBA Ballers #MichaelJordan, #LeBronJames, #KevinDurant, and Brooklyn Nets point guard <a href="https://dev.theshaderoom.com/congrats-kyrie-irving-marlene-wilkerson-welcome-their-first-baby-together/">Kyrie Irving</a> have all had great sneaker collaborations. Kyrie, who collaborates with Nike for his &#8220;Kyrie 4,5,6 &;7’s&#8221; shoes knows how important a design is and recently spoke out about his upcoming Kyrie 8’s after </span><span style="font-weight: 400;">pictures were leaked online. </span></p>
<p> ;</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Fan page @k11kicks shared leaked photos of the upcoming Kyrie 8 sneaker showing off the color wave and the material and asked everyone their opinions about the shoe. One day later, Kyrie left a comment explaining his dislike of the design. He commented, “I have nothing to do with the design or marketing of the upcoming #Kyrie8, IMO these are trash! I have absolutely nothing to do with them!” He continued, “Nike plans to release it without my okay regardless of what I say, so I apologize in advance to all of my sneakerheads and true supporters of the #KAI11 brand.”</span></p>

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Fans of Kyrie took to the comment section to also share their dislike of the sneakers. One commented, “They really can’t be serious. Do they look like some low-budget shoes from Kmart and the colorway? These look like straight invitation shoes straight from China. Hell no.&#8221; According to <a href="https://www.forbes.com/sites/kurtbadenhausen/2019/08/28/the-nbas-richest-shoe-deals-lebron-kobe-and-durant-are-still-no-match-for-michael-jordan/?sh=412e58ce3d02">Forbes</a>, </span>his support for Kyrie’s shoes from his fans has been in full effect since the launch of his sneakers nearly 5 years ago. The point guard’s shoes have been named as one of the NBA’s best sellers. In 2019 he brought in $11 million in sales.</p>
