Kyrie Irving Signs 5-Year Deal With ANTA After Being Dropped By Nike

Kyrie Irving Signs 5-Year Deal With ANTA After Being Dropped By Nike

Dallas Mavericks guard Kyrie Irving has a new shoe deal.

After his deal with Nike was terminated last year amid controversy in Brooklyn, Irving reached a five-year endorsement deal with Chinese sportswear brand ANTA.

The deal also makes Irving the Chief Creative Officer at the company. Specifics on that deal are not yet known.

Irving reached a deal to return to the Mavericks on a three-year, $126 million deal last month in what was by far his best, and perhaps only, option in free agency.

Irving was first traded to Dallas in February in a deal that sent Spencer Dinwiddie and Dorian Finney-Smith to the Brooklyn Nets after Irving’s latest trade request.

He averaged 27 points, six assists and five rebounds in 20 games for the Mavericks while dealing with a foot injury.

The Mavericks finished the season 9-18 after Irving’s arrival, and fell from sixth place in the Western Conference to 11th and out of the playoffs.
