“(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.
