Jarrett Allen's Sneaker Streak Nears End
2 Apr
Summary
- Jarrett Allen hasn't found new Kyrie 3s in 1.5 years.
- He's worn the same model for 620 career games.
- Size 17 feet make finding specific shoes difficult.
Cleveland Cavaliers center Jarrett Allen is on the verge of ending a remarkable nine-season streak of wearing a specific sneaker. Allen, who entered the NBA in 2017, has consistently donned the Nike Kyrie 3 TB Black White model, a choice rooted in comfort and a touch of stubbornness. This unique dedication spans 620 career games, including his 2022 All-Star selection, making the sneakers an integral part of his on-court persona.
Allen's continued reliance on this particular shoe is now challenged by supply issues. He has not found a new pair of his preferred black and white Kyrie 3s in approximately 1.5 years, leading to a sense of urgency. The difficulty is compounded by his size 17 feet, as Nike produces fewer general release pairs for exceptionally large sizes. While he practices in other models to preserve his game shoes, Allen hopes to find a remaining stash of his beloved Kyrie 3s to extend his streak.
