A little over two weeks ago, we covered Boston Celtics small forward Gordon Hayward had signed a four year sneaker and apparel offer sheet with Chinese brand Anta. A match clause in, at the time, deal with Nike allowed them up to ten business days to match Anta’s offer.
Nike chose to decline to match and Hayward announced Monday that he was not only officially signed with the brand but that a signature shoes is to release next fall.
New season. New beginnings.
I'm excited to announce my partnership with Anta!
