DJ Augustin Signs to Jordan Brand
 There won’t be any more hazing of this rookie, as Charlotte Bobcats rookie point guard D.J. Augustin has become the newest member of Team Jordan. This is the second big name to sign a footwear deal with Jordan Brand, as last week we let you know that Sacramento Kings guard, Kevin Martin had signed to Jordan Brand. It is really no surprise, considering Augustin was the Bobcats pick at 9th overall in last years NBA draft, and Michael Jordan is the teams managing member of basketball operations. Augustin played his college ball at the University of Texas. He carries himself in a very professional manner, reminiscent of MJ himself, which makes him a perfect fit for Team Jordan. You won’t be seeing DJ wearing that “Little Miss Giggles” backpack the veterans had him wearing at training camp. Now you’ll just be seeing Jordan’s on his feet.
We also spotted Gerald Wallace in some Player Exclusive Jordan II’s recently. Check the photos after the jump to see Wallace in the II’s and Augustin rocking the “Little Miss Giggles” backpack. News via Sporting News. |

Of all those pics, the shoes that stood out to me the most was those cdp 22’s, lol, those are growing on me, I want to ball in them. I will cop that pack if it drops down to $250.
The Bobcats players got it nice! (thank you papa Mike)

Love the II’s, a very underrated kick.
I wish more PE’s of the II’s came out. The Hyperdunks look sick too.
Comment by Stoj23 — October 7, 2008 @ 12:04 pm
i agree the hypers…so sick
Comment by Nasty_Naj — October 7, 2008 @ 12:34 pm
good to see my man from Texas getting signed with Jordan. good for him after being displace by Katrina and all that in high school and STILL making it. the man’s got talent its just too bad he’s in Charlotte.
Comment by texasrep — October 7, 2008 @ 12:42 pm
that’s a good look … i thought he was w/ adidas b/c of his rookie pics. cause Texas is a Nike school but anyway … Nike has been real selective & isn’t breaking bread. Adidas payed Beasley the same as Rose & its not worth much so i’m wondering what Nike offered…
Comment by yoko — October 7, 2008 @ 1:08 pm
Even if nike didnt offer beasley or rose that much they still should have went with nike. I mean who has even had a good signiture sneaker on the stripes. Both are going to eventually be allstar players, so why not sign with nike then renegotiate their contracts after they blow up like d.wade did.
Comment by dds010 — October 7, 2008 @ 2:59 pm
that’s a good look…. can’t wait until he and CP3 play against each other!as for Gerald wallace, everybody sleeps on his game but he’s a great defender with sick hops! i’m lookin 4 them 2 win over 40 games this season….( i hope!)larry brown system will put some players n the zone they wanna be in.J-RICH hyperdunks are just a sample of what other players will be rockin this season…. just pay close attention 2 every player exclusive…. there are already some sick kicks on tha scene!
Comment by young G. S. — October 7, 2008 @ 3:01 pm
A lot of cats in the league are thinking $$$ first and foremost. That’s probably why you see a lot of them sign to Adidas, a big up front dollar and a signature shoe is more appealing than a slightly smaller contract amount and your number stitched into a pair of Hyperdunks. Just my opinion.

DJ Agustin is a fantastic player and with all the other pieces on the team he will make a wonderful impact, hopefully. And to top it off, he signed with JB and that’s another plus.

Comment by abraham — October 8, 2008 @ 9:02 am

Comment by Duffman — October 8, 2008 @ 10:16 am
Nice CDP 22’s DJ!
Comment by MJSF — October 8, 2008 @ 2:01 pm
Showing up with a Little Miss Giggles backpack is not the way you want to arrive as a rookie, complete with ready-to-haze veterans and all.
Comment by orthotic — October 8, 2008 @ 2:05 pm
oh, i did’nt see that they had him wear it. My bad.
Comment by orthotic — October 8, 2008 @ 2:07 pm
Love the 2’s, even if they been slippin latey gotta go with a Jordan contract over everyone else.
