After weeks of rumors and the possibility of jumping to a competing brand since his Nike deal expired, it’s now official: Russell Westbrook and Jordan Brand have agreed to an endorsement deal. The two-time NBA All-Star and Olympic gold medalist signed on to an undisclosed, multi-year contract with JB, joining such hoops luminaries and fellow Team Jordan members as Carmelo Anthony and Chris Paul, among others. In the words of Michael Jordan, he states…
We are very excited to welcome Russell to the Jordan family. Russell’s style, both on and off the court, combined with his love and dedication to the game make him a perfect fit for the Jordan Brand. We love the drive and passion for basketball that Russell brings.
As this story develops expect a signature shoe to be in the mix for the near future. Stay tuned!
