Kansas freshman Andrew Wiggins was apparently guaranteed $180 million shoe contract over ten years by Adidas after he was finished with college. These reports are false according to SoleCollector.com.
It all apparently stems from this alleged memo from adidas Group CEO Herbert Hainer, addressed blankly to a Wiggins representative, which Sole Collector has exclusively obtained below and has also confirmed to be entirely fake.
“There is a fraudulent letter that claims to be from our company offering Mr. Wiggins a contract. Any reasonable review of the letter would determine its lack of credibility,” an adidas Basketball spokesperson told Sole Collector this morning. “Beyond this, we do not comment on rumors or speculation about potential partnerships.”
Here is a picture of the letter. Click on image to enlarge.
Kansas wears Adidas, I’m not saying this had anything to do with him choosing Kansas, well maybe I am. I guess I could be convinced to attend a certain college for $180 million.
