Maybe I've out grown that but these days whenever I buy a pair of sneaks its not because some athlete wears them...
http://www.cbssports.com/nba/eye-on-...andrew-wigginsHere's today's sign of just how high the hype about Kansas freshman Andrew Wiggins, the projected No. 1 pick in next June's much-hyped draft is. Bleacher Report reports that shoe companies are lining up to make unreasonable offers for the youngster forward the second he announces he'll be leaving school for the draft. How unreasonable? How about $180 million over ten years?
Three sources told Bleacher Report that Adidas has pegged Wiggins as their prime target—and they would be willing to open up the bank for him. Of course, no meetings or official offers can be made until Wiggins declares for the 2014 draft after his season at Kansas.
"(Adidas) is easily the front-runner, 100 percent," said Rich Lopez, the publisher of the popular sneaker website KixandtheCity.com.
"From what I'm hearing, (Adidas) is really high on him," an industry source said. "I've heard a range for sure, from like $140 to $180 million for like 10 years. That's a big deal for a kid coming out of school because most rookie deals are probably like four years."
"I'm hearing from people at Kansas that he's got a $180 million offer supposedly coming from Adidas," a source close to Wiggins' inner circle said. "But I also heard that Nike is going to match anything."

It amazes me how many people will buy a shoe just because it's linked to a popular player. 18 million a year for wearing shoes? This will be making almost the same amount of money a year from a shoe deal than LeBron makes from his NBA salary. Set for life tbh
It won't happen, just a way to hype up Wiggins pre-draft to make his value even greater.
Move over Kwame Brown.
ditto...I could give a . If it looks nice, it's a good brand, and it's a good price, that's my pair.
Already ting on Kobe
ALL over him.
You're talking about the same group of people that do this to cars
not set for life but close enough, remember iverson? That reebok contract was insane but hes broke now.
btw any info on those two girls in your sig?
has anyone worn addidas shoes since like 1999?
Tbh, no other kicks compare to Jordans, most comfortable and best designed shoes I've ever owned.... only issue is the price, really....
They are
I thought I could dunk wearing them, but it didn't work
FU Nike
what kind of basketball fan can't even dunk? i mean i guess i can't anymore but i'm also no longer really a basketball fan.

wtf spends $200 on shoes?
I thought I could hit homers off a signed Dmitri Young bat
you guys pay to wear those shoes while famous s get paid for doing the same, you people are pathetically stupid tbh. (thankfully my goddess only endorsed perfumes, es' handbags and es' clothes, things I don't need none of)
Would be funny if Wiggins got 200 from Nike and turned out to be a Gerald Green type player
i really don't know anyone that does that tbh..
dont do it bro
inb4 his knee explodes
