The NBA’s new phenom now inks a deal with apparel company Adidas
With the No. 1 overall pick in this year’s NBA draft, it was obvious Andrew Wiggins was special and it wasn’t just the fans and numerous analysts who thought he was on the brink of stardom. That said, Adidas also saw the star potential in the new draftee and announced Wednesday that he will in fact be the newest edition to the Adidas family. The deal is said to be worth $2 million annually according to multiple reports. Wiggins will also be the first No. 1 pick to sign a shoe contract since his newfound Adidas mate Derrick Rose back in 2008.
Andrew Wiggins recently spoke out about his new partnership:
“Joining the Adidas family is a blessing and an honour and I am extremely excited for what lies ahead,” Wiggins, from Vaughan, Ont., said in a statement. “Our collaboration couldn’t be more organic both personally and professionally and I look forward to moving to the next level with the brand.” Seeing that Andrew Wiggins wore Adidas at Kansas this past season, this partnership is actually a perfect look for the Canadian and an organic cohesion. Andrew Wiggins will also join Dante Exum as the second rookie in this year’s draft to sign with the shoe brand.
