Kyrie Irving is a sneaker free agent and he used the Brooklyn Nets’ game  to advertise it. Irving played Wednesday night with tape covering the logo on his black sneakers, two days after Nike ended its relationship with him. “I AM FREE Thank you God … I AM,” was written in gold marker on the sneakers during the Nets’ 122-116 victory over Charlotte.

The apparel maker then announced this week that the split would be permanent.
