Sources: Russell Westbrook inks 10-year extension with Jordan Brand
Westbrook跟Jordan牌续签10年约
Russell Westbrook, the NBA's reigning Most Valuable Player, will look to
continue to establish himself as one of the league's top global superstars,
inking a 10-year extension with Nike's Jordan Brand that will be the most
lucrative total endorsement deal for a Jordan athlete to date, according to
industry sources.
根据业界消息来源,Westbrook,2016-17的季赛MVP,将将会与Nike旗下Jordan brand签下
10年的续约,这将会是Jordan brand有史以来最大的一笔代言合约。
After first signing on with the brand to an initial five-year endorsement
deal in 2013, Westbrook has been positioned as the face of the brand and the
annual Air Jordan model each subsequent season. During that stretch, he also
elevated his game on a year-by-year basis as the franchise point guard of the
Oklahoma City Thunder.
在2013年首次与Jordan brand签下5年期代言合约,Westbrook很尽责的成为Jordan brand
的招牌,也是每年Air Jordan鞋发布的model。此外,他也在球场上奋力表现,成为雷霆的
当家控卫。
The new shoe deal extension, negotiated by the Wasserman agency and
Westbrook's longtime agent, Thad Foucher, is in advance of the initial deal's
expiration next fall. The increased pay rate will also retroactively apply
toward his 2016-17 MVP season, according to sources. He wore Nike sneakers
during his first four years in the NBA, before the company aligned him with
Jordan, in order to have a dual-brand presence alongside Nike signature
athlete and then-teammate Kevin Durant.
旧合约明年才到期,但是新合约就已经签了,根据消息来源,所以增加的代言费会回溯到
2016-2017年就生效。Westbrook在打NBA前四年就已经穿Nike的鞋子,之后Nike把
Westbrook分到Nike旗下的Jordan brand,这样球场上Westbrook就可以跟当时的也是Nike
另一品牌队友KD一起在场上。
This past season, the 6-foot-3 star not only led a retooled OKC roster to the
postseason after Durant's departure, but did so while averaging a
triple-double
