“Black Knight” originates from the legendary game in 2017 when Kyrie Irving was playing for the Cleveland Cavaliers and scored 41 points while wearing a black mask. The black mask symbolizes his true nature as a “basketball assassin” and also implies his tenacious spirit of playing through injuries.
“Black Knight” features an overall dark-night black color scheme, symbolizing an absolute powerhouse that conceals extraordinary strength, lying low and always ready to dominate the game. Its low-key and versatile design is also highly resistant to dirt.
