Nike and Kyrie Irving have officially ended their partnership. Nike previously had suspended Irving’s Nike contract after some controversy, but Irving’s contract with Nike was set to come to an end on October 1, 2023. Many people thought Nike would let the contract run its course but the two have gone their separate ways. 

Irving got his first signature sneaker in 2014, and since then has had one of the best basketball performance sneakers out there as many NBA players wear Irving’s signature sneakers league wild. Irving’s signature line was also one of the top selling athletes behind LeBron James. 

Despite the Kyrie 8 being shelved, Nike and Irving released 7 signature sneakers, Kyrie lows and Kyrie flytrap models throughout the years. Irving is now a sneaker free agent and is allowed to wear any shoes that he may desire, maybe another company will offer Irving a sneaker contract.
