Debate Continues Over Marcus Jordan's Shoes

Debate Continues Over Marcus Jordan’s Shoes

842 days ago - by George Kiel III - 94 comments

We have shown you multiple Marcus Jordan PEs within the past couple of years in which many of you have positively commented on to say the least (see Air Jordan 9 & 10 PE). While there is no debate that these may be some of the nicest PEs seen to date, an argument continues to materialize over whether or not Marcus Jordan will be able to wear Jordan’s at all this basketball 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.

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? Click here to voice your opinion.

My coach tried to do this in college and had us wearing Adidas and it didn’t work. We all had blisters and messed up feet because we had to wear those sorry ass pro models. We ended up going back to Nike after the first semester.

Is this a free country or not?

I just hate being limited to 1 kind of shoe. I love my J’s but I can’t imagine only wearing them. AND in my opinion, those PEs were ugly.

I’m sure if you go to FIU Mr. Thomas won’t have any problem letting you wear whatever you want.

Where do I start?
B-radballa:
UCF sucks huh? Its a D1 school in a major conference. And I happened to CHOOSE to play there comin out of HS. Where did you play? Ok then.
Nightwing:
Marcus Jordan sucks does he? Have you played him? Did you play ball at a D1 school? Sounds like someone is just bitter. Publicity, good or bad, always brings haters out of the woodworks.
Nucleus:
You’ve never even heard of UCF? Its actually the largest University in the state of Florida, is in Conference USA and boasts alumni such as Daunte Culpepper and recent 2nd round NBA draft choice Jermaine Taylor. Brush up on your NCAA.
And again, bottom line, you can all preach about “team” and his “scholorship” and “he sucks”, but not one of you wouldn’t trade places with the kid in a second! Jordan’s kid, PE’s, all that sh*t. You’d all eat it up and can’t act like you wouldn’t.
This is a huge deal about nothin. I went there and didn’t wear Adidas once! No one cared, it wasn’t in the media. Why? I’m not the son of the GOAT. The school didn’t care then and they don’t now. This is just becoming a huge deal cuz of the name. Period!

If there is a contract, he has to wear Adidas. Last time I checked, he was playing for a TEAM, not for his pops and if the TEAM must wear Adidas, so must he.

Learn to read.
As of press time, UCF and Adidas DO NOT HAVE A CONTRACT IN PLACE.
So its a mute point. This “team” BS is blown way out of proportion. Save that “We are one” crap for the Marines.

So for Marcus Jordan, it’s about ME, not We.

Shoes dont have anything to do with him being a team player or not if he wants to wear jordans they should let him, why would they make a big deal out of it now the school adidas is looking bad.
b-radballa33
spin613, yea ucf is garbage. do u guys even make the NIT? ok then
coolnewyorker
If Marcus is allowed to wear any shoes other than what the whole team wears, contract or no contract, then any other player who opts to wear his shoes of choice, should likewise be allowed.
Adidas should sue UCF for breach of contract.

1st) Fars I know about UCF, they really dont have a contract with Adidas… So Marcus can really do wateva he wants in my opinion…
2nd)If some1 would wear adidas with an UNC uniform, every1 will raise hell about it…. But wat im tryin 2 say is Marcus is not goin 2 put himself in a situation when he cannot wear his pops shoes… And if u were the CEO/Head Honcho of Jordan will you let ur son where ur products @ all times??? Last time I remember, Adidas is not even allow @ his own house.

Jordan dosn’t let ppl wear anything but JB in his house or around him .. i know that for a fact. So i doubt his son is wearing addias but he should. If the school has a contract then thats that i dont care if it was Obama’s son rules r rules.

Wear the 3 stripes! I wear nothing but J’s and I completely understand wanting to where them, but honor the damn contract. If he’s going to hold his breath and be a baby, Daddy should bid a larger contract deal for JB. But, of coarse the team has to win first.
OL SKOOL (AND THATS REAL)
Folks- 1st!! U HAVE TO HAVE A CONTRACT IN ORDER TO BREACH IT!!!
My former college Campbell University had an ADIDAS “contract” for the fellas but the model they had was the pro-model, they were horrible…the fellas constantly hurt their ankles in those 3/4. it was 97 so Kobe’s adidas model was out and a couple guys BOUGHT them and they seemed to work out, so it could be the FEEL of the shoe, THE CUT of the shoe, a number of things, MJ wore converse and adidas AND almost signed with them before NIKE came through….he should wear what feels best and if adidas cant provide like they would for a football team (lineman shoes vs running back shoes, NOTRE DAME, etc) then MJ should sponsor them….People keep in mind that BRAND NAMES INCLUDING COACHES attract (star) athletes and if his son can pull this off then its a good look for the school, the team and the area because it is a small school. IF LBJ AND KB can sponsor their former HIGH SCHOOLS with a version of their signatures shoes then JB can sponsor UCF. I mean AND1 did it too….and where are they now??? dont be too quick too judge when u feel good you play good and shoes are the priority and how many of u dont think that young MJ didnt know what shoes his school wore?? he had to visit so isnt it funny that they dont have a contract??? hmmmm Jeff went to Illinois and THEY wore nike….chill folks he may have a plan up his sleeve, but if it was dad i would have the illest J’s on the court, but NOT before my game got tight… AND THATS REAL, PEACE

He mj son wat u expekt.

He should have to earn his way into wearing custom shoes. Even if MJ is his dad. No special treatment. What if he sucks, then he’s tarnished the Jordan name and shoe. Just being MJ’s son should be enough, no need to advertise it. Just be a team player then when you get daddy’s stats THEN lets talk about a shoe deal. He can wear J’s to class, lol.
