A few days ago, and when no one expected it, we learned of the signing of Nikola Jokic from the Chinese equipment manufacturer 361°. A superb catch for this brand born in 2003, when we imagined that the Serbian, until now equipped by Nike, had been advised by Aaron Gordonwho became one of the faces of the company in 2020.
Confirmation this weekend: the “Joker” has indeed listened to the recommendations of his teammate Nuggets before signing with 361°.
“ He influenced me a lot » he details on this subject. “ [Les représentants de la marque] were very direct and honest with me. I was able to discuss everything with [Aaron Gordon] and he told me that they were really good, responsive and attentive. I am very happy with this partnership. »
A contract synonymous with a signature model?
From now on, and for several years, Nikola Jokic will be one of the international ambassadors of 361° and, like Aaron Gordon who was entitled to four models of his signature shoe, it is obvious that the MVP of the reigning Finals will also soon receive a signature model.
“ I don't know how long the contract lasts, but [la marque] really try to make the shoe as comfortable as possible » indicates the one who is evolving, for the moment, with a “Big 3 Future” on his feet. “ She asks me questions and gets my opinion after each training session and after each match. I really like the exchanges we are having now.. »
For the record, the 361° brand (for 361 degrees) has thousands of points of sale around the world and became known by being the official equipment supplier of the Rio Olympic Games in 2014.
