Kyrie Irving's shoe deal with Adidas rumored to be signed soon
After sharing an antisemitic film at the start of the season, Kyrie Irving lost his deal with Nike, which made him a free agent in the shoe market. Throughout the 2022-23 NBA season, Irving has worn his signature Nike shoes but that could change as a rival shoe company is willing to sign the Dallas Mavericks guard.
According to Brandon "Scoop B" Robinson, Adidas has shown interest in signing Irving to a shoe deal after he parted ways with Nike in the past winter. Adidas isn't the only brand willing to give the eight-time All-Star a shoe deal. It's reported that even Puma has been involved in negotiating a deal with Uncle Drew.

Kyrie Irving hid the Nike logo the entire 2022-23 NBA season
Due to the problems he had to deal with early in the season, Nike decided to suspend their contract with the 2016 NBA champion. Following that, Irving became a free agent and was without a signature shoe. However, he still wore his signatture Nike's, but intelligently hid the logo.
During most moments, he was still seen wearing his Nike's, but had a fashionable way of hiding the logo of the shoe company. It's clear that Irving didn't want anything to do with the company, which is why he carefully sealed the logo each time he stepped foot on the court wearing his signature Nike's.
Irving has found different ways to hide the logo but still be stylish with it.
It won't be long until we get to see the news of which shoe company could sign the eight-time All-Star.
