The sneakers have not been released yet, however, their pictures were leaked online, which led Irving to comment under an Instagram post.

"I have nothing to do with the design or marketing of the upcoming #Kyrie8, IMO these are trash!" Irving wrote on Instagram. "I have absolutely nothing to do with them! Nike plans to release it without my okay regardless of what I say, so I apologize in advance to all of my sneaker heads and true supporters of the #KAI11 brand."

Irving has been one of the faces of Nike since 2011.
