In the last year in the NBA News world there hasn't been so much talk and discussions about Kyrie Irving's performance on the basketball court. On the other hand, there's a lot being said about his off-the-court actions. Especially after the Brooklyn Nets decided to suspend him due to his last episode of his new self.

With Joe Tsai in the middle of the situation, dealing with the other Nets' superstar Kevin Durant. He had to sat down with Kyrie to evaluate the situation, especially when he is the right partner for Durant on the court.

However, actions were taken by many companies, including Nike.

NBA News: The unexpected Kyrie Irving's reaction to the end of his shoe line

As reported by Shams Charania of theAthletic, Kyrie Irving's shoe line was dropped by Nike after his suspension granted by the Brooklyn Nets due to an off-court situation with the promotion of an antisemitic movie on Irving's social media. Even so, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reported in May, that Nike had planned it before, due to other circumstances that left him out of the court for awhile. 

Irving is clearly not annoyed by this decision. In fact, in the most recent games, Irving has been seen wearing an all-black sneaker. Despite the rumors and memes about their likeness to a Sketchers pair of sneakers, Irving was wearing one of his own brand featured by Nike. As well as many other NBA players who have used them in games, despite the end of this deal.
