Dennis Schroder is completely done with rocking Kyrie Irving’s signature shoes and it has everything to do with their on-court altercation last month.
“Unfortunately, l can’t wear them no more. It’s not possible after what happened in the game.”
In the third quarter of the Lakers-Nets game on April 10th, Irving and Schroder were in each oother’s faces when the Brooklyn PG became enraged over the Lakers guard calling him the n-word.

“I can not do it. Not going to wear it again.”
Instead, Schroder says he’s now going to do a giveaway to unload his Kyries.
“I’ll donate,” Schroder said, “so text me.”
