Zion's Rookie shoe deal (Best Guess)

Lebron's rookie deal was worth +/-$90,000,000 for 7 years, with a signature shoe line.

What's your guess on Zion's rookie deal?

I'll guess, Nike for $150,000,000 for 10 years with a Zion signature line released ASAP.

I don't know if Zion's deal will be bigger than LeBron's for the yearly average but I like it to be in the neighborhood of 100,000,000 for 10 years.

Just the other day I read this about LeBron getting his first shoe deal out of high school. I found it very interesting.

When Lebron learned the power of saying no

In today’s market I like your guess. I think he signs with Adidas though.

I’d love to see him sign with Roc Nation or Klutch.

Was he an ADIDAS AAU guy?

Was he an ADIDAS AAU guy?

Yes.

They say the only time he wears Nike is when he was in uniform. He’s always wearing Adidas any other time.

Yes.

Then your prediction makes a lot of sense.

They say the only time he wears Nike is when he was in uniform. He’s always wearing Adidas any other time.

Hard to imagine NIKE did much to win him over while at Duke...... But ultimately money talks, so I guess we will see but I would expect Adidas as well.

Eleventy billion dollars.

I would put it at a 90% chance he signs with Adidas. Adidas has been on Zion for a while. He has relationships with them through high school and AAU. No idea about the money. It will be a ridiculous amount of money either way. Zion is the most marketable player since Lebron coming out of college and it isn’t close. He’s got the unique name, he’s got the electrifying game, he’s by all accounts a pretty good person. Zions shoes will sell like crazy. Adidas has been in this for the long haul and I would say it’s a pretty good chance it pays off.
