Nike unlikely to extend Kyrie signature shoe deal [Woj]

[GSP]

How long before this clown says racist undertones played a part in this?

[Bornstellar]

Once all his sponsors drop him and no one wants to sign him and he realizes he isn't as important or relevant to NBA discussions as he thinks, he'll change his tune on the whole "puppet master" nonsense, just wait

why you all making fun of Kyrie? He already got paid by nike in a lumpsum, the jokes on all yall tbh

[KnicksGadfly]

go woke, go broke. LOL, love it.

Not that Kyrie is broke, but no one likes missing out on 10s of millions of dollars no matter how rich they are.

Hopefully sage isn't that expensive.

Nah I think it was probably the fact that Kyrie is now associated with antivax rather than his wokeness. Love it. Cancel all of them.

Nike always just going with the climate to capitalize

nikes gone crazy. some other competitior will snag kyries billiondollar shoe business in a day.

kyrie's shoes aren't a billion dollar business. They are popular among kids and them being around $100 is a big reason for that.
Jordan is number 1 by a decent margin. Last I checked Jordans were bringing in more than $4billion in revenue every year for Nike.
LeBron is second. His line brings around $600 million in revenue for Nike.
Kobe was third when he was alive. He was bringing in around $400 million for Nike.
After Kobe's death third has been split between KD and Kyrie. I think Kyries bring in around $200 million for Nike. They are very popular but have lower price tag.
Giannis might catch up with his line given that his line is also priced similarly to Kyries.

Shocker. Seemed like their values really aligned

Kyrie supporting BLM aligned with their views. But he dug his own grave with sponsors when he decided to go against the grain.

Has little to do with him deciding not to play and everything to do with his decision not to get vaccinated. This is Nike sending a message to all Black athletes imo.

What a ridiculous take. This is Nike distancing themselves away from an out-there conspiracy theorist who spreads all sorts of questionable/misinformation. Let's not make this racial.
