News hit the media last month about Marcus Jordan refusing to wear adidas footwear while playing basketball for University of Central Florida. Marcus said he didn’t have a problem wearing adidas apparel since they sponsor UCF, but he refused to wear adidas shoes. Marcus is a man of his word, and he proved his statement in last nights exhibition game against Saint Leo. He wore a pair of Jordans in the game last night, and UCF won 84-65. Is it the shoes? Apparently, it was the shoes that made adidas decide to end their contract with UCF.
According to the Associated Press:
“The University of Central Florida has chosen not to deliver on their contractual commitment to adidas,” adidas spokeswoman Andrea Corso wrote in an e-mail to The Associated Press. “As a result we have chosen not to continue our relationship with them moving forward.”
Marcus stays loyal to his father’s brand, and will not wear anything but Jordans on the hardwood. Jordan also said that he will only wear Air Jordans because they hold special meaning to his family. Once UCF receives an official notice they will then be able to further respond.
