Basketball Hall of Famer Grant Hill has signed a lifetime endorsement deal with Fila.
"Fila is proud to have been a part of Grant’s history, partnering with him when he was drafted into the league," said President at Fila North America Jon Epstein. "Grant was a tough yet graceful competitor. He possesses a strong work ethic and has demonstrated resilience and perseverance. Grant truly embodies the spirit of Fila, a brand that is synonymous with game-changers in sport and beyond. We look forward to Grant being an integral part of our move forward strategy in basketball."
One of the most talented college basketball players of his era as a member of the Duke Blue Devils, Hill originally signed a rookie deal with Fila when making his transition to the NBA after being drafted to the Detroit Pistons in 1994. During his time as a Fila endorser, Hill wore memorable pairs like the GH 1 and GH 2 for the 1994-95 and 1995-96 seasons. This deal will aim to bring attention back to those memorable pairs from the mid-'90s.
"Fila was there for my first professional steps on the court," said Hill in an official press release. "We have now come full circle and I am thrilled to be a part of the family once again. I’m grateful for the brand’s continued loyalty and support as we begin this new chapter together."
Hill will usher in his rejuvenated partnership with the brand at the third annual ComplexCon this November where exclusive Grant Hill x Fila product will be available.
