NBA players starting new ventures during stints in the league is not new. For some, it is to generate additional figures and have it as a post-retirement plan. However, for others, it is a passion project that exhibits their artistic flairs. Jimmy Butler, for example, had a simple idea and turned it into a booming coffee business during the bubble year of the pandemic. Now, Kyrie Irving has come out with a new venture in hopes of expanding his portfolio.

In a recent post on X (formerly known as Twitter), Kai posted the link to a website called ‘mind-less’. The link redirects to a clothing brand where casual luxury wear like hoodies, modernized kimono, and pants are featured on a solid-colored array. This is special for Irving as the website sports the kind of look that Kyrie has worn over the years and matches his style.

Kai is always involved with other ventures, as was evidenced in another latest collaboration of his. When talking to the media in a post-game conference, Kyrie Irving revealed the custom basketball that he designed in partnership with Club Legacyz. Irving explained that he wants to promote healthy relationships and utilize basketball as an unifier. Hence, the designs used on the ball reflect this very idea. He added, “You can use it to play outside or be on your mantle as an art piece. This is my outlet – art, political satire, having fun with life, it’s enjoying connecting others.”  

With the clothing line, Kyrie steps into new territory, adding another avenue for him to express himself and his thoughts. It will definitely succeed given its casual easy-going fashion, which is all the rage today. Kyrie’s new clothing venture is just a small part of his growing arena of influence which substantiates his whopping $90 million net worth.

Other than dipping his toes in fashion, Kai has also invested in footwear. It’s not uncommon for NBA players. After all, the league is synonymous with sneaker culture and both often go hand in hand. Irving has invested in Kicks Crew, which is the fastest-growing sneaker community and marketplace.
