Nike dumped Kyrie Irving as a result of his posting an antisemitic movie.
But Kyrie is still wearing the brand's kicks. However, he's been covering up the logo.
During the All-Star game, he accomplished this by adding tasseled fringes to his kicks.

Kyrie Irving has said he's part Lakota Indian, so perhaps this is a nod to his Native American roots.
Whatever it is, Kyrie shoes could have been the best thing about that utterly atrocious and embarrassing display of basketball last night.
