The news comes as Nike has parted ways with Kyrie Irving, one of their most profitable shoe collaborators, in light of recent social media posts many deem as anti-Semitic.

Morant has been long-rumored to be the next NBA star to receive a shoe deal.

Other NBA stars with signature Nike shoes include Giannis Antetokounmpo, LeBron James, Kevin Durant and Paul George. Nike also has signature shoes under the Jordan brand with Luka Doncic, Zion Williamson, Chris Paul and Russell Westbrook.
