Will Adidas be lucky enough to sign another superstar like Kyrie Irving?

Kyrie Irving’s deal with Nike was on the verge of expiring and his incident made it that much easier for them to cut ties. Both parties mutually agreed to part ways and Irving has been a sneaker free-agent ever since. He still wore his Nike signature shoe all season long but had creative ways to cover the Nike swoosh each time.

Basketball fans have been vocal since the news of Irving possibly signing with Adidas. many are saying Nike “fumbled the bag”, meaning they made the wrong choice in letting Kyrie go. Nobody knows the full behind-the-scenes details of what really happened between the two parties.

Adidad already has some high-profile NBA players signed. James Harden, Damian Lillard, and Derick Rose all have signature shoes with three Adidas. Adding Irving to their roster of athletes would be huge for their company moving forward. Millions of his fans are waiting to buy his next signature shoe.
