Brooklyn Nets guard, Kyrie Irving has one of the most popular sneakers in all of basketball, but Nike is reportedly unwilling to move forward with the controversial seven-time All-Star.
Nike is reportedly skeptical about Irving’s future in the NBA, a factor in reaching a deal when his contract, reportedly worth $11 million per year, expires after the 2022-23 season.
Irving played in only 29 games this past season because he was unvaccinated, and New York City’s vaccination mandate didn’t allow him to play home games.
He forfeited roughly $16 million of his contract from missed games.
