What an insane year+ it has been for Nike with the leaving of Kanye West and what seems like Kevin Durant. What pretty much seems 90% now is that Kevin Durant will be signing with Under Armour with a contract that will pay him more than he is making at OKC, which will be about 30+ million per year plus a stake in the company! Call me crazy but Wade did the same thing just a few years ago for a brand that isn’t even close to being as big as Under Armour. This can make Kevin Durant have a secure future compared to staying at Nike. Ya maybe it will be hard for Under Armour to produce competitive sneakers compared to the Nike KD line but who knows maybe they can bring out a string of amazing models and give Under Armour a chance to take a chunk out of Nikes 90% basketball market.
Whatever may be said about this deal, in the end we can all agree Under Armour deal provides a secure future for Kevin Durant and something great for us sneaker heads since now the basketball playing field will be a bit competitive.
