(77WABC) — Kyrie Irving’s relationship with Nike is officially over.
The announcement from the shoe and athletic apparel maker came a month after the company suspended the Brooklyn Nets guard as part of the fallout from him tweeting a link to a film containing antisemitic material.
It was not a surprise breakup, especially after Nike co-founder Phil Knight said in the days after the company suspended Irving that he had doubts there would be any reconciliation.
