Kyrie Irving has already confirmed that we’ll be seeing the Nike Kyrie 3 starting Christmas Day (on his feet), but, sources online have provided us with a sneak peek of the forthcoming sneaker in advance.

Compared to its predecessor, the Kyrie 3 strays away from the distinctive cross-strap, while still retaining its mid-cut profile and comprised of fused mesh. The side panels and rear portion seem to bear a new pattern as well, in addition to the outsole also inheriting a new traction pattern to help increase Kyrie?s quick footwork.

It’s unclear if this will be the inaugural pair, but, the new sneaker is suggested to release on January 21st.

Stay tuned to KicksOnFire for its official unveiling.

I don’t like it so far. It looks a bit too plain now in my opinion. I’m looking forward to its official reveal though.

Is this considered the equivalent to the Grinch colorway that we’ve seen in the past? Not really feeling it. I’m not a fan of the mini Swoosh.

Victor Cruz‘s lifestyle model continues to be a hot commodity, and Nike Sportswear keeps on bringing the heat this Fall 2016 season with new colorways popping up here and there. The Nike Trainer Cruz Black Suede is next up, as the “Cuber Monday” aesthetic falls on the sleek lifestyle design for a release this December 2nd for $150 USD.

The Nike Air Trainer Cruz filled a lifestyle void left by Kanye West’s imprint and was undeniably inspired by the Yeezy and Swoosh collaboration thanks to a unique midfoot strap, a reliance on a Nike retro training model serving as the outsole unit, and bolstered materials like suede and a woven textile bringing a premium finish. This upcoming Black/White creation keeps those standards in place with a clean, refined look perfect for any occasion.

An all-white colorway of the model is also slated to release on November 18th in case you can’t wait for this “Cyber Monday” looking pair to arrive at retailers. Check out more photos after the break.
