Kemba Armour.
Move over, Jumpman and Swoosh. Kemba Walker officially has a new brand to rep. According to CNBC’s Darren Rovell, Under Armour and Walker have agreed to a multi-year contract, making him the first rookie in this year’s draft class to sign a shoe deal. Details of the deal were not released. Walker helped break the news via Twitter (@KembaWalker), posting a pic of himself enthusiastically holding up UA shoes and stating, “I am officially apart of the UA fam!! I’m hype!!”.
Walker was respected as a true sneaker fiend during his career at the University of Connecticut. He donned a variety of Air Jordans, seemed partial to the Air Jordan XII, and wore the “Orion Blue” Jordan 6-17-23 in the Huskies 2011 title-clinching game in April. The new Charlotte Bobcats guard joins Bucks point Brandon Jennings as UA’s first stable of NBA athlete endorsers.
He’s a Jordan lover signed to the Bobcats (Jordans Team) which is pretty much entirely sponsered by Jordan Brand and he signs with Under Armour, really?! I guess at least that way he is guaranteed a paycheck when NBA is on lockout.
huh…
Good signing, liking those White/Reds he’s holding up.
WOW!!!!!!!!
very surprised he didnt sign with Jordan, glad tho
Personally, LOVE IT. Puts the focus even more on UA making good shoes for faster, smaller players (like me). Plus, something about the Micro G that just feels so good on my feet. Sick of seeing PE’s of every color and Nike passing them off as sigs, or Jordan hybrids on their roster.
