According to Nick DePaula of ESPN, Russell Westbrook has signed a new sneaker endorsement deal.
Normally, this would not be stop-the-presses news, especially on a night where Beyoncé said something in public. However, this deal is different. Westbrook reportedly re-upped with Team Jordan for a decade-long sneaker deal that will make him the brand's highest-paid endorser ever.
While no dollar figure has been reported as yet, the deal will keep the OKC star in new Air Jordans through the 2025-26 season. The deal also means that Team Jordan is hard at work on a signature shoe, which one industry source says will be "unlike anything that Jordan Brand has done before."
The deal also includes an annual donation by Team Jordan to the ballplayer's Why Not? Foundation.
