[blazers21ntnp]

Wow, definitely didn't see him leaving adidas.

Hopefully he gets some good looking kicks.

This was out of left field.

 

[hawkflight6]

No one saw this coming

From a looks stand point alone I don't think he can do any worse than he has been doing the past year or two

 

[senordragon]

Well, that was random. Now let's see how his shoes turn out.

first damn thought..

Surprising development...

 

[ijapino]

It's just odd. I wouldn't be surprised to see more athletes jumping ship...especially older athletes who seem to be on their way out.

wouldn't be surprised at all, ever since Jkidd left Nike, that was the biggest shocker. I know these athletes are getting paid buku bucks for this, but these chinese sneaker brands just seem horrible.

agree!

 

[hypercrunk]

Maybe he wanted another shoe named after him, against Adidas' "Brotherhood/Team Signature" thing.

 

[jkballer5]

I dont think the first Adidas Garnett's were bad at all...still got my white/blue pair I wear every once in awhile.

 

[astroox805]

a reliable source has stated that this isn't official just yet.

 

[buc em]

Damn it's over for his knees/feet

 

[rjt420]

I'd say Agassi signing with the Stripes was the biggest brand switch I can think of in sports. Even people who don't know tennis were shocked when he first rolled up rockin the Adidas gear.

I liked his early adidas shoes. They need to start selling these Chinese brands at foot locker or some other retail shoe stores. I want to see them first hand.

Any updates? Hope it isn't true. If that happens, Adidas will lose a gem.
