Kyrie Irving Boston Celtics 2017-2018 Game Worn & Signed Sneakers

These sneakers were worn by Kyrie Irving on November 10, 2017 when the Boston Celtics beat the Charlotte Hornets, 90-87.  Roughly ten minutes into the first quarter, Irving was inadvertently hit in the face by Boston center Aron Baynes while he was landing after a rebound attempt. Irving received medical attention on the court and was escorted back to the locker room. The shoes have also been matched to a pregame warm-ups on November 27, 2017. 

The sneakers have been photomatched by Sports Investors Authentication. A letter from James Spence Authentication regarding the signatures is also included. 

Kyrie Irving has left an indelible mark on the NBA since being selected as the 1st overall pick in the 2011 NBA Draft out of Duke University. In his rookie season, Irving averaged 18.5 points, 5.4 assists, and 3.7 rebounds per game and took home the NBA Rookie of the Year award. 

In the coming years, Kyrie would play alongside LeBron James, who returned to the Cleveland Cavaliers in 2014. Side by side with LeBron and Kevin Love, Kyrie would go to three consecutive NBA Finals. 

In the 2016 NBA finals, against the record-breaking 73-9 Warriors, the Cavaliers battled back from a 3-1 series deficit to force a Game 7.
