DeMar DeRozan Extends His Deal With Nike

DeMar DeRozan and the Swoosh have reportedly come to terms on a new contract agreement that would extend their partnership for another four years. According to The Athletic’s Sham Charania, Nike has plans to keep DeRozan the face of the Kobe line due to the Compton-born forward’s long-standing love for the line. 

Following Bryant’s retirement in 2016, DeMar became the foremost advocate of the Mamba’s line and to this day continues to pull out new colorways of various iterations of Kobe’s line. DeMar regularly debuted new silhouettes including the Nike Kobe AD and Nike Kobe NXT 360 in 2018.

DeRozan was even alluded to in the Undefeated x Kobe 4 Protro Pack with the Hyper Jade colorway representing his tenure with the Spurs. Now, the midrange maestro will continue to carry the line forward alongside Devin Booker who also recently extended his Nike deal

Following Kobe Bryant’s untimely passing, it looked as if the iconic brand would be leaving the Nike umbrella. After a year of negotiations, Nike and the Bryant estate reached an agreement in March 2022 that would keep the Kobe line on the market and see new releases. With DeRozan and Booker carrying the torch, we can look to see the legacy of Kobe continue for a long time.

Sole Savy is unreal! With a busy schedule it’s hard to keep up on shoes, and the group keeps me up to date on releases, tips on how to manually cop, and a marketplace with killer deals from fellow like minded collectors. It’s changed the sneaker game for me!

@SoleSavy is the truth. They've helped me cop kicks I never would've imagined getting at retail. Members always willing to assist on drops too. And most of all, a REAL community of REAL sneakerheads. These guys should be the gold standard for sneaker communities! #LifetimeMember

My membership paid for itself three fold by being solely responsible for my union 4’s, mesh sacai waffles, sacai blazers, court purple aj1s, glow in the dark yeezy 350s, travis scott lows (which I traded to get desert ore ow’s), air max 1 londons, bc3’s for way under retail etc.

Can't say enough about SS. The stellar help with copping shoes is a given but it's the community that makes it extra special. Hands down one of the best decisions I made as a wannabe sneakerhead.

The community of sneakerheads and resources available to help manually cop are great and really will help you get more Ws. The Zoom calls for hyped drops like Union Jordan 4 only adds to the camaraderie while providing real time instruction
