James Harden was spotted wearing the Air Jordans
Last month, Houston Rockets All-Star James Harden signed a 13-year, $200 million deal with Adidas. A couple of days after new Adidas spokesman James Harden was spotted wearing Air Jordans, owned by competitor Nike, the president of Adidas North America said Harden's days wearing the Jumpman are numbered.
Harden was spotted wearing the Air Jordans by TMZ on Friday while walking out of a movie theater with girlfriend Khloe Kardashian, who was wearing an Adidas sweatshirt and sweatpants. Kardashian's brother-in-law is Kanye West, the name behind the coveted Adidas Yeezy line.
Asked whether Harden will have to stop wearing his Air Jordan collection in public when the deal officially commences Oct. 1, Adidas' Mark King said, "That's part of the deal."
