After Kyrie Irving revealed the Kyrie 4s and wrote a message about finding purpose in life, Nike released more details about the Celtics guard’s new signature shoes.

One of those details that’s behind the tongue of the shoe is a bit out-there. Nick DePaula, of ESPN and Nice Kicks, shared that the “‘All Seeing Eye’ icon (Irving uses this as his Instagram profile photo and has it tattooed on his left arm) behind the tongue, meant to ‘challenge everyone to seek their own answers beyond the ones that are given to us by books, media, internet, etc.'”

That explanation of the icon — “challenge everyone to seek their own answers” — is basically what Irving said when he was explaining why he thought the Earth was flat and what he said in response to everyone reacting to the fact that he may be a flat Earth truther.

When the Celtics star first said the Earth was flat, he said:

“I think people should do their own research, man. Then, hopefully, they’ll either back my belief or throw it in the water, but I think it’s interesting for people to find out on their own.”

Then, when Irving backed off his claim, he said:

“Do your own research, don’t come to me and ask me. At the end of the day, you’re going to feel and believe the way you want to feel.”

And then, when Irving talked to Geno Auriemma about this just last month, he said:

“Just when I started just seeing comments and things about just universal truths that I had known, I had questions. I had questions. I don’t necessarily know. I won’t sit here and say that I know. But when I started actually doing research on my own and figuring out that there is no real picture of Earth—there is not one picture of Earth.”

To cap it all off, the lead designer behind the shoes, Ben Nethongkome, told SLAM Magazine:

“Kyrie’s on this journey of challenging everyone to think beyond,” he says. “That also challenged us and our creative to dig deeper than what we traditionally do.”

So there you have it: It looks like Irving’s flat Earth talk tied into his new shoes. He wants people to challenge themselves, but hopefully he’ll stop using outrageously false claims like saying the Earth is flat, or at least make it clear that he’s only saying something outrageous to prove something about how people react (if that’s what he’s doing).
