After Losing $11 Million Sneaker Deal With Nike, Here Is How Kyrie Irving Is Using His Freedom

A couple of months ago, Kyrie Irving was in the headlines for arguably his biggest controversy. The Brooklyn Nets star was labeled to be antisemitic after sharing the link to a controversial movie. A large number of consequences hit KAI. The biggest was probably him losing a signature shoe deal with Nike. Irving lost nearly $11 million due to his one mistake. While he has apologized for his mistakes, there is a surprise. Shockingly, it seems the Nets guard is enjoying his shoe freedom.

Irving was arguably one of Nine?s biggest draws. His popular sneakers collaborations always had fans on the edge. In addition, his sneaker had creative prowess. Likewise, as one of their biggest stars, the 30-year-old got himself seven signature shoes. An eighth was supposed to release. However, the recent controversy put a halt to the much-anticipated release of the Kyrie 8.

After losing the deal, KAI and Nike might have officially parted ways, but the All-Star guard continues to proudly wear his shoe. However, with the freedom, he now puts tape over the swoosh. Each night Kyrie Irving goes out to ball, a message takes the place of Nike?s trademark swoosh.
