It's a really cool sneaker design with a green color scheme named "Garden State." The sneaker highlights all the green landscape we have right here in New Jersey.

Irving often says, "I'm a kid from New Jersey." He played basketball for Montclair Kimberley Academy in Montclair for both his freshman and sophomore years of high school transferring to St. Patrick High School in Hillside for his junior and senior years.

He currently plays for the Dallas Mavericks and joined the team in 2023 after playing for the New York Nets, Boston Celtics, and Cleveland Cavaliers.

"This latest addition to Kyrie Irving's signature shoe line captures the essence of New Jersey’s vibrant greenery, bringing a fresh, invigorating look to the court. The jade tones symbolize Irving’s deep connection to his roots and the natural beauty of his home state," according to a recent press release.
