Update 12/24: Official images of both the ‘Khepri’ and ‘Golden Mummy’ Concepts x Nike Kyrie 6 has arrived which will release at Concepts on December 27th and via Nike SNKRS on January 10th.
Update 12/23: Concepts has officially unveiled their latest collaboration with Nike which is the Concepts x Kyrie 6 Khepri and the Concepts x Kyrie 6 Golden Mummy which is a kids exclusive.
An Egyptian solar diety represented by the scarab beetle, Khepri, the god of creation, is associated with resurrection — explicitly known for rolling the sun above the horizon each morning and carrying it through the other world after sunset. The word “Khepri” also means “to transform,” a thematically fitting truth for Irving’s continual development.
The color tones of the shoe, Pink and Blue, match the morning sun against the desert sand. The colors of the sole are modeled after one of the most expensive scarab beetle ever sold.
For the kids-exclusive Concepts x KYRIE 6 Golden Mummy, the cycle of history manifests in a colorway that simultaneously pays homage to Concepts’ founding in 1996 and the discovery of the Valley of Mummies (an event that spurred a revival of interest in Egyptian history) that same year. Metallic gold finishes reference the riches within the tombs, while a series of hieroglyphs remind how much more there is to be written as the future unfolds.
The Concepts x Kyrie 6 Khepri launch exclusively for game-day ticket holders December 26 at the Nets’ Featured on Flatbush store. A wider release follows December 27 via Concepts and January 10 on the SNKRS app and at select House of Hoops locations.
