Packers WR Davante Adams signs with Jordan Brand

Green Bay Packers receiver Davante Adams is the newest member of the Jordan Brand.

Adams, a three-time Pro Bowler, signed an official endorsement deal with Michael Jordan’s shoe and clothing company.

“It’s something that I’ve always dreamt about, especially with how exclusive it is. It’s the number one shoe brand I’ve been attracted to my whole life,” Adams said. “It was something I always thought about. I wanted to be part of Jordan Brand, because I saw Randy Moss, my favorite receiver, wearing Jordans when I was younger. I wanted to do everything like Randy. The next part was getting to the Nike family. Everything ended up working out well. Now, we made the dream come true.”

Adams, who revealed he owns a “couple hundred” pairs of Jordans, said he got a chance to design his own cleats on the campus. Expect to see No. 17 in new footwear in 2020.

“Jordan cleats are the best-looking and best-feeling cleats,” Adams said. “It’s a no-brainer, since comfort is such an important part of my game. If you look good or feel good, you play good. Everything changes when you put on Jordans.”

Adams has caught 343 passes for 4,265 yards and 40 touchdowns over the last four seasons. He’ll join other stars such as Michael Thomas, Earl Thomas, Le’Veon Bell and Tyrann Mathieu among NFL players associated with the Jordan Brand.
