It has a deep meaning, but it's not the OG.
Anta is calling its Kyrie Irving logo the 'Enlightened Warrior'. The design features a mirrored 'K', which Anta says"symbolizes knowing oneself thus forming harmony." The reflection also intended to maintain the reference to the number 11 from the Nike logo, representing Irving's shirt number through his career at the Boston Celtics, Brooklyn Nets and now the Dallas Mavericks .
Meanwhile, Anta says the four peaks at the top of the logo represent"Speed, Focus, Agility and Strength," while the outer edges on the bottom stand for"Father and Mother," and the two sharp points in the bottom-middle represent"Family Roots." That's a lot of meaning. The logo was revealed while Irving is on a tour of China with the brand. To promote the reveal in the US, the brand has hired four artists to paint 11 murals featuring the logo in Newark, New York City, Los Angeles & Dallas.The design has a more angular and aggressive look than Irving's logo with Nike. A lot of fans like it, responding with fire emojis on, but some say they think Nike's design was clearer and more iconic.
And some don't seem to be getting the reference to the harmony of self knowledge communicated in the mirrored letters."Kyrie Kirving?" one person asked on ."It looks like it should be for someone who goes by #JL11… or a funhouse mirror version of the Yankees logo," someone else wrote.
