words // Nick DePaula:
Oklahoma City Thunder superstar and league MVP Russell Westbrook has agreed to a long-term extension with Jordan Brand that will make him the face of the Nike subsidiary well into his career.
The 10-year pact includes both on- and off-court signature sneakers, along with a Westbrook-designed signature apparel line. The deal, negotiated by his longtime agent Thad Foucher at the Wasserman agency, also includes an annual donation from Jordan Brand to Westbrook’s “Why Not?” Foundation, that will impact both educational and athletic programs for kids that Russ plans to continue in both Oklahoma City and Los Angeles.
After headlining the last four annual Air Jordan game shoes, the OKC Thunder franchise point guard is expected to lead the Air Jordan XXXII this upcoming season. Check out the full report on ESPN, and stay tuned for a look at some of Russell Westbrook’s greatest hits with the brand.
