Dallas Mavericks guard Kyrie Irving has partnered with Chinese sports brand ANTA on a new shoe deal, it was announced Tuesday.
In a release, ANTA said that Irving's signature shoes and lifestyle footwear will be unveiled early next year. ANTA also said that Irving will serve as the brand's Chief Creative Officer.
The agreement comes after Irving and Nike ended their partnership last December. The company initially suspended his deal after Irving posted a link on social media last October to a book and movie containing antisemitic tropes.
Irving had been with Nike since 2011. In 2014, he became the 20th player in NBA history to receive his own signature sneaker with the company.
