Kyrie Irving Covers Nike Shoe Logo W/ 'I Am Free' Sticker After Split From Brand

gave the middle finger to Nike with a message on his signature shoes Wednesday night ... covering the swoosh logo and etching"I am Free Thank You God I am" on a patch of tape after his breakup with the sneaker giant.

Irving hit the court at Barclays Center for the first time since becoming a shoe-free agent on Monday ... and while he decided to keep wearing his own kicks, he made sure to distance himself from his former partner.Irving rocked the Nike Kyrie 3 PE in the"Raygun" colorway for the matchup against the Charlotte Hornets ... but if you look closely, the side logo is covered with black tape.

Kyrie switched kicks mid-game -- which is not uncommon for NBA players -- and the second pair also had the Swoosh scribbled out with black marker.

Lol KyrieIrving couldnt get the money from nike and spend on children, cancer and etc ?

Free as in not getting paid to wear shoes lol

go Kyrie i stand whith you 💖

Great job Kyrie.Let them racists go.God gave you your talent not them.The fact that they always target black entertainers and athletes financially livelihood is racism in itself. As we prove over and over they never do this to white athletes and entertainers.

Truth is: He ain't free...It's ALL an illusion...As long as he's playing basketball for THE MAN, he'll always be a slave

Those look nice. What brand are those cause I want some!

🙄🙄

May God bless him more

Love this ❤️

I’m confused he’s always been free that’s why he makes millions…weird dude

He's also out a lot of money . notwinninglikeYe

you still wearing the shoes tho 🤣🤣🤣🤡

Lot of suspected WS in the thread comments

Just because covered doesn't change the fact that he's still wearing Nike sneakers.

Is he quoting Nike?

He always has been free. He chose Nike. Some people jus can’t accept reality.
