As one of the best point guards in the game, Kyrie Irving is expected to draw interest from multiple teams this summer as an unrestricted free agent. But choosing his next basketball team isn’t the only decision Irving will have to make in the coming months.
After being dropped by Nike over anti-semitism, Irving is currently a free agent in the sneaker world as well and word on his next move in that category is expected to drop very soon. According to Brandon ‘Scoop B’ Robinson, several brands have already gauged interest in a partnership with Irving, including Adidas and Puma.

Irving’s name carries a lot of weight in the NBA community. Besides being a polarizing player on the court, Irving is always finding ways to be in the news for one reason or another.
With his split from Nike now complete, Irving is free to choose his own path and you can bet he will go somewhere where he feels empowered to be himself and express his beliefs no matter how controversial they are.
