Irving's signature shoe is being pulled from the market. The shoe giant suspended its business relationship with the NBA player. There is no place for hate speech at Nike. The Nike Kyrie 8 basketball shoe won't be released. The situation and its impact on everyone makes us sad. You know, as you already know. Kyrie faced a lot of backlash after posting a link to an antisemitic movie. It's not the first time Nike has come down on Irving. After he refused to apologize for promoting the film, the Nets suspended him for 5 games. The Nets said that they won't allow him to play again until he gets help for his conduct. After being suspended, the point guard issued a lengthy mea culpa on his social media, but people are questioning his authenticity. At least for now, his relationship with Nike was not saved by his apology.
