The wait is over.

James Harden just got PAID. Both in currency and Adidas shoes.
On Thursday, the reigning NBA MVP according to his peers struck a 13-year deal with Adidas for somewhere in the neighborhood of $200 million. And all the shoes he’ll ever need for this lifetime, and then some.
Yes, that’s an entire box truck full of shoes.
Welcome to the good life.

And yes, that would be my reaction, too. Your kids’ kids’ kids won’t ever have to worry about what shoes they’re wearing – granted they can grow into a size 15.
Adidas might as well just give the man the truck too, because he’s gonna need somewhere to put all those kicks.
The wait is over.

On why Adidas felt that Harden is the man to embody the three stripes brand for years to come:

Darren Rovell also reported Adidas believes the Houston Rockets’ shooting guard who averaged 27.4 points, 7 assists and 5.7 rebounds per game last season, has immense brand potential in overseas markets, specifically China, where Yao Ming previously put the Rockets franchise on the map as a fan-favorite.
So what pair is your favorite, James? Seriously, can you even pick?
Living the dream, bro.
