Projected 2016 NBA lottery pick Jaylen Brown will be signing a footwear and apparel endorsement deal with adidas, as reported by The Vertical.

Brown spent one year at California and will be entering the 2016 NBA Draft without having hired an agent. Brown’s shoe deal with adidas is worth north of $1 million per year which would put him among the top handful of players in his class from a footwear endorsement perspective.

For adidas, the signing represents a shift in strategy as it looks to reposition itself in the basketball market. The brand is entering the final season of being the official outfitter of the NBA, and it is looking to spend its future sponsorship and marketing dollars on signing players. Adidas has been extremely aggressive in this year’s draft, angling to sign as many as seven of the projected top 10 picks. The NBA draft is June 23.

The adidas Ultra Boost continues to be one of the trefoil brand’s strongest offerings thanks to its crossover appeal in both the performance and lifestyle categories. The combination of Primeknit and Boost technology has been a winning formula that we expect adidas to stick with for the foreseeable future, but what’s next up for the Ultra Boost? While the Ultra Boost ST and Uncaged varieties have kept fans interested, there’s nothing like reverting back to the original and upping the ante with an awesome colorway. Look no further than this summer’s upcoming adidas Ultra Boost “Glow In The Dark”. The green glow feature was a not-so-hidden gem on the latest Yeezy 750 Boost release and know has found its way onto Primeknit. In normal light, the Ultra Boost showcases a tonal grey and clean white quality with just a hint of electric green threads. The shoe then transforms in the dark to show off that brilliant trait. What do you think? Stay tuned for a release date later this summer and we’ll keep you updated on more of adidas’ latest right here on Sneaker News.

Since the creation of the Crazylight series, adidas Hoops has been stretching the limits of “lightweight” by creating high-performance basketball shoes that somehow weigh far less than what the competition is putting out there. Last year, the bridge between Crazylight and Boost cushioning was built, laying the groundwork for the Crazylight Boost 2016, which features the most Boost cushioning in any basketball shoe they’ve ever produced. Along with the heel-to-toe full-length Boost sole, the Crazylight Boost 2016 also features a stylish woven upper and herringbone traction to meet the needs of players like James Harden, Kyle Lowry, and Jeremy Lin. The Crazylight Boost 2016 will release on July 2nd in a red camo and white camo colorway for $120.

Other than the recent release of the adidas Yeezy Boost 750 Grey Gum, this forthcoming rendition of the Ultra Boost inherits glow-in-the-dark capabilities as well.
