Los Angeles Lakers star Nick Young has officially signed with adidas. Nice Kicks creative director Nick DePaula broke the news via his Twitter, also revealing that the 30-year-old basketball player was caught in a tug of war between sportswear giants adidas and Nike, which the latter eventually declined to agree to the deal’s terms. Swaggy P is all celebration about the new contract, and appeared wearing the adidas Yeezy 750 Boost to his first game as a Three Stripes signee against the Houston Rockets. Young joins adidas’s roster of athletes that includes James Harden, Sidney Crosby, Jeremy Lin and more.
