Kyrie Irving's game isn't the only thing Boston Celtics are looking forward to seeing this season. Fans are dying to get a glimpse of the Nike Kyrie 5. Fans got a chance to see the kicks in action during a Celtics practice, courtesy of Bleacher Report Kicks.
The Kyrie 5 is set to drop sometime in December, so fans will have to settle for looking at them rather than buying them for now.

Irving's footwear is a big deal for many, but his return to the court is an even bigger deal. The Boston Celtics advanced to Game 7 of the Eastern Conference Finals without their dynamic point guard leading the charge. Kyrie was having one of his best seasons when complications from knee surgery ended his season prematurely.
But now the Celtics and Irving look poised to dominate the East for years to come. Although Irving is a free agent next summer, he has vehemently stated that he wants to return to Boston and appears to have bought into Brad Stevens' vision for the future.
His return will be slightly overshadowed by the return of his running mate, Gordon Hayward. Fans got to see Irving play 60 games for the Celtics but didn't even get to see six minutes from Hayward. Both stars are making highly anticipated returns to the court on Tuesday.
Opening night will kick off when the Celtics take on the Philadelphia 76ers at 8:00 p.m. ET in Boston. It's safe to say folks are chomping at the bit for NBA action to return.
