Kyrie Irving, Nike create Krispy Kreme-inspired shoes (Photo)
Cleveland Cavaliers point guard Kyrie Irving teamed up with Nike to create a shoe inspired by Krispy Kreme Doughnuts.
Every superstar in the NBA is trying to top the other with their shoe lines. When you’re one of the best players in the league, it’s important to market a strong brand and have a strong shoe that will sell like hot cakes….or in this case, doughnuts.
Cleveland Cavaliers point guard Kyrie Irving decided to blend his love of Krispy Kreme Doughnuts with his Nike shoes to create one of the sweetest pair of shoes yet.
The Krispy Kreme-inspired shoes will be sold out of a Nike/Krispy Kreme hybrid truck that looks just like the box that Krispy Kreme puts their doughnuts in. The good news is that shoes look just like the box too and are sure to make everyone hungry for some original glazed doughnuts and some 30-foot jumpers from beyond the parking lot.

Of all the shoes for a player to release, this one is certainly one of the more wild designs yet. The white shoe with the strawberry red color is going to hit some of the biggest cities in the country.
Considering the fact that a local Krispy Kreme will be cleaned out of doughnuts after a morning rush, these shoes from Irving will certainly be gone in no time.
