Trae Young, the Atlanta Hawks’ star point guard, is making some serious moves in the sneaker world after parting ways with Adidas. After four successful years with the brand, the company encountered a setback, especially when they canceled his fourth signature shoe, the Trae Young 4, after his contract ended. Now that his Adidas deal is over, Trae’s got the freedom to try out new brands.
Of course, people can’t stop talking about which brand he’ll sign with next. While Dallas Mavericks’ Kyrie Irving tried to push him toward ANTA, it was clear that Jordan Brand was his top pick. And sure enough, the Jumpman made it official, announcing that Trae had signed with them—marking the end of his time with Adidas and the start of a whole new chapter.
“I’m grateful MJ did that for people like myself, and my goal is to try and continue that legacy for the young kids, including my brother, that are coming up after me,” Trae Young stated. It’s a pretty big deal to join a brand with such a legendary history. Right now, Trae won’t have his own signature sneaker (at least not yet), but you’ll catch him sporting iconic Air Jordans like the Air Jordan 39, which he’s already been balling in.
Trae Young Teams Up With Jordan Brand For A New Era Of Success And Style
For Trae, joining Jordan Brand is about more than just the shoes—it’s about aligning with a brand that’s all about excellence, style, and chasing greatness. He shared, “This brand embodies basketball, style, and a desire to win and the desire to be great.“
Trae joining Jordan is a big deal, especially because Adidas didn’t plan his time with them effectively—he canceled some drops and didn’t achieve the success he hoped for. But this new partnership marks a fresh start. Although no one has explicitly revealed how much Jordan will pay him under his contract, it’s clear that he has a bright future with the company.
He is now part of a team that includes big names like Jayson Tatum and Zion Williamson, so you can bet he’ll rock the Air Jordan 39 and other Jumpman gear. We might not see his own signature line just yet, but Jordan Brand has secured his spot, and his star will keep rising.
