However, they displayed their tremendous off-court chemistry multiple times. Now, the two stars are taking their friendship one step further. The dynamic duo will reportedly soon launch a sneak together under Nike.

“(Kyrie) was like, ‘Look at this heat I have in my hand’. And there was some friendly competitiveness to them too, like, ‘Whose shoe is better?’
“…It kind of spawned into, ‘Wouldn’t it be cool if we collaborated on something together in the near future?’ And right then and there, KD was like, ‘Of course.’ So we’re excited to have some level of interaction between those two in terms of product creation in the near future.”
Although, Benjamin didn’t reveal any details regarding the launch date of these sneakers. But for NBA fans to know that two of their most beloved superstars are working on such an amazing project is more than enough. Hopefully, the sneakers will drop soon and fans can rock them rather sooner than later.

“I think I’ve always wanted that as just having somebody to push me at all times, whether it be we’re off on the court talking about entrepreneurship or business and what we wanna do as partners or collaborations or designs.
“And then on the court, ‘Yo, what do you think about this, bro?’ He asked me questions about things I’m thinking because I know he studied as much of me as I’ve studied of him.”
