Atlanta Hawks star Trae Young has decided to part ways with Adidas and join forces with Chinese sportswear giant Anta. This move comes after reports that Adidas plans to discontinue Young’s signature sneaker line following the release of the Trae Young 4.
During the Atlanta Hawks’ first day of practice, Young was spotted wearing Anta’s Shockwave 5 Pro sneakers instead of his usual Adidas footwear. This choice of footwear, which would likely be in violation of his contract with Adidas, has sparked a lot of buzz among fans and analysts.
Young, who signed his initial contract with Adidas in 2018 and launched his signature sneaker line in 2020, has seen great success with his shoe designs. However, it seems that the partnership is coming to an end, and Young is ready to explore new opportunities.
Anta, known for its innovative designs and growing presence in the basketball world, is excited to welcome Young to their roster . The company has been making waves with its collaborations and high-performance footwear, and Young’s addition is expected to boost their profile even further.
This move marks a significant shift for Young, who has been a prominent figure in Adidas’ basketball lineup. It will be interesting to see how this new partnership unfolds and what kind of impact it will have on the basketball sneaker market.
