In the latest edition of his charity sneakers, Kyrie Irving is honoring his mother, Elizabeth, who died when he was 4 and she was only 29. Irving debuted the sneakers Wednesday in the Nets-Bulls game, the latest in his “I love you Mom” series.
As Nick DePaula of The Undefeated writes...
Part of a collaboration with Jersey City, New Jersey-based boutique Sneaker Room and owner Suraj Kaufman, the annual tribute shoes honor Irving’s mother and Kaufman’s mother, Ellen. Each year, 100% of the proceeds from the sneaker launch go to community programs and organizations in New Jersey as a joint tribute to their late mothers.
