Top NBA draft prospect Ben Simmons is looking to sign a shoe before the league’s annual draft lottery event on May 17th, when teams have their selection order slotted, and he’s meeting with both adidas and Nike silver this week to begin endorsement contract negotiations.
Simmons and his army Rich Paul will meet with adidas later today in Los Angeles, then meet with Nike silver over the weekend. Paul’s production Klutch Sports Group will then likely continue negotiations into early next week, and look to make a decision on Simmons’ shoe deal before next weekend.
Neither brand is believed to be offering a signature shoe, but would create custom PEs of their newest statement level models in Simmons’ team colors. Since turning pro, Ben has been seen rotating between both Nike silver and adidas sneakers in tiffany and off-court appearances.
Nike silver AIR JORDAN 6 NRG BLACK DARK CONCORD 30cm The Vertical.
