Marcus Jordan Wears Jordans And UCF Loses Adidas Contract

Is it the shoes? To Adidas, yes. The three stripes are severing ties with UCF because Marcus Jordan has refused to wear Adidas sneakers while on the court. Michael Jordan’s son has agreed to wear Adidas gear, but not sneakers because of what the Jordan brand means to him and his family. Itt is interesting to see if the Jordan Brand will now sponsor UCF and how the team’s management feels about Marcus’ decision.

Nike Vunk Black-Red/Volt/Blue

At the end of September, we reported on the first colorway of the Nike Vunk: grey/lime green.

Whether you want it to be the case or not, reality is that these only come in sizes from grade school to toddlers. Moreover, pictured here is the latest installment of the Nike Vunk, which comes in a predominantly black base with red, volt yellow and blue accents. Do you think this new colorway makes the overall sneaker design look any better? Head over to the online FinishLine store if you’re looking to purchase these hybrid shoes.
