Kyrie claimed vaccine is one of the biggest violation of human right yet he is signing with a company based in a country with questionable human right practice. Wont be surprised of these shoes are made in child labor factories.

As are the ones you're wearing right now. They do a great job.

Anta > Nike. Once I switched to Anta, I never touched a Nike shoe again. Amazing traction and looks great too

Not sure he meant that, but: ...considering all sneakers (including Nike, Adidas,...) are produced by low-wage slaves in China (and other low-wage slave countries) and only the people at the top are sitting in offices in different countries?

You know what he meant

No, if it's something obvious, I didn't get it. The first things that came to mind was the worker stuff. So what did he mean?

Just a reminder that the Chinese are imprisoning and forcibly sterilizing their minority Muslim population.

Nike might create their own worst enemy (shout out to Elon Musk who's perfected this idiocy).

I don’t think Nike is too worried, they have Bookers shoe coming out soon and also have Wemby signed.

everybody thinks booker's shoe is ugly....if they even know who devin booker is. nike is done.

Good shoe or not, I don't think I'd ever choose an anta over Nike....and Kyrie is still one of my favorite players. Even though everything is made in China anyway, I'd still chose the Nike.

For the price, the Nike Kyries were hard to beat. Klay's anta shoe are going for $180 vs low $100s for the Nike Kyries.

Kyrie played a role in the development of his Nike shoe, so would probably expect the same with Anta

I don't think they're that bad, it matches his personal style and I think it'll sell better for off the court people who will roc them casually.

Nice to see Kyrie getting an endorsement by a corporation who still uses uyghur muslim slave labor.

Including, apparently, the guy who imagines himself being the most socially enlightened person in the NBA.

He and every other person and corporation are all hypocrites. As are you for supporting the NBA.

Glad we got that out of the way
