Nike is releasing a "Duke" PE of the Kyrie 5 originally gifted to the men's basketball team before a big game against the Virginia Cavaliers this past January.

The retail version remains true to the original PE with a black mesh upper covered in a blue flame graphic as a nod to the university's Blue Devils mascot. Other special details include official Duke logos on each lace covering, a "D" logo embossed on the left heel, and Irving's collegiate number "1" on stamped on the right heel. Finishing touches include silver Swooshes, royal blue Kyrie logos on each tongue, and blue bottoms. 

Expect the Nike Kyrie 5 "Duke" PE to hit Nike SNKRS and other select retailers on March 14 for $130.
