No doubt Adidas gave him more money than Nike. Remember the lifetime, quarter billion dollar shoe deal DRose got?

I'm not saying John Wall got anything close to that, but Adidas knows that it's being monopolized by Nike. That's why they're undoubtedly overpaying the living fukk out of DRose and Dwight Howard, and saw this as an opportunity to overpay for another budding superstar :comeon:

All in all, not that surprising that Wall went with Adidas. Nike already has guys like LBJ, Kobe, Durant, CP3, Melo, and dozens of others. They probably offered Wall a fraction of what Adidas threw at him.

For reference:
NBA Rumors: Derrick Rose's $250 Million Shoe Deal Shows It's Good to Be Good | Bleacher Report

Lucrative is seriously underselling it based on the figures dribbling in to us.

One industry source insisted to ESPN.com this week that Rose's new shoe deal with adidas will easily crack nine figures and could legitimately approach the $250 million range -- as in $25 million annually over a 10-year span -- in what is known in the shoe game as a "lifetime" deal.

How can the reigning MVP possibly command those kind of dollars as a shoe endorser? Here's how: Rose, as it was explained to me, is adidas' only counter to Kobe Bryant in China. I'm told Rose already outsells LeBron James there.

Addias owns Reebok since 03, so its nothing.

But weird they stopping their whole line. I think they're still releasing retro reeboks cause they re-releasing AI and Shaq's old kicks as well as the Kamikazes that Kemp rocked in 96

When wall came out Nike only offered him a standard deal with no signature shoe promises....in other words he would have just gotten free nikes....while reebok offered 25 million to him so he went over there, If your not :troll:, KD, or :childplease: Nike Basketball dont care about you....thats why Blake Griffin and :youngsabo: signed with :mjpls:

At the top.
No way JB or Nike gonns sign Wall - wtf has he done so far? My guess is Adidas finna make him some signature wingtips for clubbin.

On a real tip I wouldn't sign with Adidas as an athlete ..have you seen the rash of injuries?

Derrick Rose, Iman Shumpert, RG III, Dwight Howard -all mashed up in their Adidas :mjpls:
