The Monday night game turned out to be a special win for the Boston Celtics, defeating their arch rivals on a Christmas Day game. Every single player in the Celtics starting line-up scored a minimum of 18 points to dominate the Los Angeles Lakers at Crypto.com Arena. However, Jaylen Brown took it to another level when he disrespected the Lakers legend Kobe Bryant’s iconic Christmas shoe with the Nike, while he sported the new creation of Kanye West.

There is an unspoken tussle between the global footwear giant and the Celtics star since 2022. Brown openly expressed his disdain for the brand, following their decision to end their relationship with Kyrie Irving. While Irving moved on from the issue and signed up with Anta, Brown still seemed to be displeased with the brand. Let’s find out more about it in detail.

The Celtics completed the game on a high, restricting the Lakers for a 126-115 win. Kristaps Porziņģis led the Celtics offense with 28 points, supported by Jayson Tatum and Brown with 25 and 19 points, respectively. While the game seemed to be the highlight of the day, Brown’s off-court activity took center stage.

Brown sported the iconic Nike’s Kobe 6 Reverse Grinch for the Christmas Day game against the Lakers, but with a twist. We know the Nike shoes for their iconic Swoosh logo and Brown sported the shoe without it.

Let’s find out the details about Brown’s last harsh dig at Nike. 

The history of Jaylen Brown’s beef with Nike

It all began when Kyrie Irving was suspended by the league for displaying antisemitic sentiments via his social media. Following the league’s decision, Irving’s then shoe sponsor, Nike, also took the call to suspend their deal with the star.

Following the multi-billion dollar company’s decision, Brown took to his X handle and dropped a hammer on the sportswear brand. He wrote, “Since when did Nike care about ethics?” 

Notably, Brown doesn’t have any sneaker deals with any of the top sneaker companies in the market. Last, he had a deal with Adidas in 2021 and he has yet to find a deal since then.
