Lillard to opt out adidas shoe deal, detonating bidding war with rivals

i really hope he goes with reebok or nike

 

Is Reebok still alive?

 

I hope he makes so much money from a shoe deal that he won't mind taking a few mil less a year from the Blazers so we can surround him with the best team possible!

 

What about FILA? :MARIS61:

 

Reebok was bought by Adidas soon after Nike bought Converse, I believe. But Reebok still operates as it's own brand, yes.

 

I had these shoes back in the day.

 

It's nice having a player good enough to have this conversation about.

 

I feel like he's much more likely to get his own shoe if he stays with Adidas. I wouldn't be surprised if the main purpose of getting a new contract with them is so he's guaranteed his own shoe.

 

Yeah, I think he could easily get "lost" with Nike. Would love to see Adidas push Rose back a peg an make him the new face of their brand.

 

Yup. They need a new star. Rose is not lookin so hot right now.

 

Dude all the NHL players wear Reebok.

 

Like I said......

 

Only if he rocks an updated version of the Jerry Stackhouse kicks. Those were dope.

 

he'd look good in some J's

 

Well why not throw British Knights into the discussion?

 

Agreed. I think he would rather take a lesser offer from adidas if it meant top billing, rather than take a larger deal from Nike to be just another face in the crowd. At least that's the impression I've gotten from him.

 

Jumpin' Jesus on a pogo stick. They're paying this guy to write?

 

Basketball shoes haven't been shit since the 90's.

I really wanted a pair of these Penny Hardaway's.



I had a pair of these Pippen's.
