In honor of the 20th anniversary of the beloved show, the Australian-born basketball star and Nickelodeon, along with Nike, have designed adult and children’s sneakers, inspired by each of the main characters – Spongebob Squarepants, Patrick Star, Squidward Tentacles, Sandy Cheeks and Mr. Krabs.

Nike’s website pays homage to the cartoon and 1990s pop culture icon celebrating the markedly optimistic sea sponge and notes the collaboration between the show and the 90s-born basketball star fit perfectly.
“Who lives in a pineapple under the sea? Spongebob SquarePants. Who has unmatched handles and loves 90s TV? Kyrie Irving,” Nike said in a statement. “SpongeBob SquarePants collection celebrates Kyrie’s love for one of television’s most memorable shows and cultural phenomenon bringing Bikini Bottom to the basketball court…and beyond!”
