Kevin Durant the second overall pick by the Seattle Supersonics, just recently turned down a $70 million shoe contract with Adidas. Come to find out that he wanted to only play in his favorite brand of shoes. Nike signed him to a $60 million contract.
Now my experience with Basketball shoes only involve Nike and Rebook, and have only owned running and soccer cleats Adidas. Do Adidas basketball shoes suck that really bad?
Other thoughts were “I thought athletes cared about the money, they do not care about what product they are selling? Or Maybe if you earn this kind of figures it is easy to pass up an additional $10 million.” Who knows, it just seemed strange to me.
