adidas "March is a Brotherhood" Campaign

Coming off a year that featured three adidas teams in the Final Four, including eventual champion Kansas Jayhawks, adidas looks to take Brotherhood one-step further for the 2009 NCAA Tournament by bringing current NBA stars to the locker rooms of top-ranked college programs. Kevin Garnett, Dwight Howard, Tracy McGrady and Josh Smith are featured in four videos entitled “March is a Brotherhood”, sharing their admiration and respect for the college game. Although these players leaped the college ranks, they are now reflecting on the purity of the game and celebrating the NCAA basketball brotherhood. For the Tournament, adidas Basketball is also introducing the Mad Clima – a new court shoe designed to keep adidas’ elite schools lighter and cooler during crucial tournament play. The new design offers ClimaCool technology to keep players lighter and cooler during NCAA tournament play. The “March is a Brotherhood” program and product collection launches today via adidas Basketball.
