Dallas Mavericks star Kyrie Irving is preparing to honor his late mother, Elizabeth, on Mother's Day with a special edition of his ANTA KAI 2 sneakers, set to release on May 3. The left shoe will feature his mother's name, while the right will pay tribute to Suraj Kaufman's mother, Ellen. This heartfelt gesture comes as Kyrie reflects on his upbringing after losing his mother to sepsis syndrome when he was just four years old.

Irving's career has been marked by impressive achievements, including being a nine-time NBA All-Star and a member of the exclusive 50-40-90 club during the 2020-21 season. Currently averaging 24.7 points, 4.8 rebounds, and 4.6 assists with Dallas, his presence remains crucial for the Mavericks, especially after a disappointing season that saw them miss the playoffs.
