adidas Battle Over Marcus Jordan's Feet


Marcus Jordan Puts UCF $1.9 million contract in jeopardy over wearing his father’s Nike Air Jordan shoes,according to the Chicago Tribune. Marcus Jordan is the 18 year old son of the Legendary NBA superstar, Michael Jordan.

They report that the UCF promised Marcus that he would be able to wear the Nike Air Jordan brand of shoes for the Knights’ basketball team this season.

The University of Central Florida, Marcus Jordan’s current school, have a contract with Adidas; however, Marcus Jordan has obviously wore Jordan sneakers most, if not all of his life. It has been stated that Marcus will honor UCF’s contract with Adidas by wearing the Adidas apparel; yet, he will not partake in wearing Adidas sneakers on the court.

UCF athletic director Keith Tribble stated that Marcus has the right to choose for himself seeing that a previous instance occurred with a football player deciding to wear a different brand sneaker due to the fit. On the contrary, adidas spokesperson Andrea Corso has confirmed that adidas and UCF have no agreement on the table at press time.

Marcus said that Adidas told him it wouldn’t be a problem. He stated, “When I was being recruited, we talked about it. They said they had talked to the Adidas people and it wasn’t going to be a problem. I think everybody understands how big of a deal it is for my family.”

With that said, do you think Marcus Jordan should be able to wear Jordan sneakers or do you feel that he has to respect the school’s contract with adidas totally?
