Nike Kyrie 7: A Discontinued Signature Model and What Came After
The Kyrie 7 is a heritage page, not a buying recommendation. Nike stopped making the line in December 2022, and every pair on sale since is remaining or resale stock.
Does Nike still make the Kyrie 7?
Nike no longer makes the Kyrie 7. Nike ended the Kyrie Irving partnership on 5 December 2022, and the signature line ended with that decision, so any pair listed today is remaining or resale stock.
That distinction matters before any purchase. A discontinued model has no restock behind it: once a size sells through at a retailer, the next listing is a resale marketplace, where condition and authenticity vary and the price follows demand rather than a retail figure.
What happened to the Nike Kyrie line?
The Nike Kyrie line stopped after a suspension, a cancelled launch and a termination, across five weeks of 2022. The sequence explains why a Kyrie 8 is not available anywhere.
| Date | Event |
|---|---|
| 4 November 2022 | Nike suspends the relationship with Kyrie Irving |
| 8 November 2022 | The Kyrie 8 launch, set for this date, is cancelled; retailers are asked to pull stock from sales floors |
| 5 December 2022 | Nike terminates the partnership |
The Kyrie 7 and the Kyrie 8 are often confused for that reason. The Kyrie 7 reached retail in November 2020 and sold in quantity across dozens of colourways. The Kyrie 8 never reached retail at all.
What is inside the Kyrie 7?
The Kyrie 7 carries an articulated Air Zoom Turbo unit in the forefoot, a mesh upper with two TPU support pieces at the sides, and a multi-angle blade traction pattern on the outsole.
Those are the manufacturer specifications recorded at release, not a test result. No wear-testing of the Kyrie 7 is cited on this site, and a page about a model nobody can buy new is a poor place to start a performance argument.
What does a Kyrie 7 cost now?
The Kyrie 7 launched at $130 in November 2020, and no current resale price is verified here. What a pair costs today depends on the seller, the size and the condition, none of which this page has checked.
A resale figure changes weekly and is worthless undated, so none is quoted here rather than printed and left to rot. The brand pages carry prices that were checked on a stated date, which is the comparison worth making before buying anything.
Which shoes does Kyrie Irving make now?
Kyrie Irving makes signature shoes with ANTA, not Nike. Kyrie Irving signed a five-year deal with ANTA in 2023 and became chief creative officer of ANTA Basketball; the Kai 3 is the current model of that line.
ANTA Basketball Shoes covers the Kai line alongside the KT and ZAP lines, including what the Kai 3 released at and how ANTA prices compare with the brands this site tracks.
Which current shoes cover the same ground?
Nike’s current guard signature lines are Sabrina, Ja and Book. The Ja 4 released on 13 August 2026 at $130, the same launch price the Kyrie 7 carried in 2020.
Nike Basketball Shoes lists the current Nike range with prices checked on a stated date, and Ja Morant Basketball Shoes covers the Ja line generation by generation. Basketball Shoes covers the choice before brand or model: cut height, traction, cushioning, position fit and budget.
