I posted this picture about 4 years ago (can't find the post in a search) when Kyrie was wearing UConn sneakers and I was wondering why. Now Durant too. UConn men's basketball is cool again.

Yeah, but his heart wasn’t in it.

Aren't all Nike's Oregon associated? It's a rough consolation prize for not landing him a decade+ ago.

the article says the general public can't buy a pair. I have a friend who is a Nike executive, maybe she can make that happen. I would love to have a pair of these sneakers

Hurt JC a lot. Might have meant 2 more NC’s for JC. If he had stuck to his commitment to Calhoun, I think he would’ve stayed 2 years in Storrs.

A few years ago when the UConn IG account teased the Uconn Kyries and Durants, I searched the ends of the internet for a retail pair. I could not find any, and I finally came across a sneaker blog that confirmed they're not for retail. If you're able to work your connections at Nike, let me know as I'd pay an assload.

I found my original post on the subject. Not sure why it didn't come up before.

Pretty much all of those UConn branded shoes are called PE's (Player Exclusives) which means they will never go to retail

Oh I have worked with Peter Roby before as he helped with a paper I was writing. He was the athletic director at Northeastern University where I went to school. He is a great high class person
