Doncic has a big contract coming his way.
ESPN is reporting that Luka Doncic is close to signing a shoe deal with Jordan Brand. The deal is expected to be done by the end the weekend.
“It’s all but ficial” said one source.
The contract will reportedly be five-years that will not originally include a signature deal; however, there will be clauses, such as winning the MVP or Finals MVP, that, if earned, will give Doncic a signature deal.
Sources also tell ESPN that Doncic will have player-exclusive models, such as unique colorways, that he will have creative input on.
Doncic’s player-exclusive shoes will be ready by February.
Doncic has spent most the season floating between different shoes. He’s played a number games in Nike’s, Jordans, and Under Armour. Doncic has also practiced in Puma.
Doncic, last year’s rookie the year, has been having a terrific second season. The Mavericks star has been averaging 29.3 points, 8.9 assists and 9.6 rebounds, culminating in an MVP caliber season.
Earlier this year, Zion Williamson made headlines by signing the largest ever annual shoe deal for a rookie. Williamson inked a five-year, $75 million deal with Jordan Brand.
