Marcus Jordan to Wear Air Jordans
Nov 04, 2009 | Comments 11 |
According to ESPN, Marcus Jordan will be rocking Air Jordans in his first game for the adidas sponsored University of Central Florida. Marcus will of course wear the team's adidas uniform with his Air Jordans in his first exhibition game against St. Leo's. UCF's deal with adidas expires next year and is worth around $1.9 million.

*UPDATE* According to Darren Rovell over at CNBC, adidas has deaded it's contract with UCF for failing to meet their contractual obligations.

MaZe is the founder of KixandtheCity.com. He has been rocking fresh sneakers since his teenage years in the early 90's. Now, his collection tallies somewhere near 500 pairs and includes everything from GRs, to QSs, to TZs, to 1 of 1s, to PEs, to Friends and Familys, and anything, and everything in between. His favorite sneaker of all time is the Air Jordan VIII. Beyond loving the physical sneaker, MaZe loves the culture behind it. When MaZe is not in front of the PC working on KATC, he's probably copping kix and making moves.

Who cares? Its MJ's son. Its just shoes , its not like the jordans is gonna makes u better
(comment @ "Its just shoes")
What the hell are u doing here?
You would hope it was atleast a nationaly ranked team giving him an issue! If you come to the orlando area you would realize that you get better games outside the UCF gym than you do inside lol!
This kid sucks at basketball and find it hard to believe that the school would allow him a special exception to wear Js. Also, wasn't this discussed before he decided to go to this third-tier school? It's not like he didn't know they wore Adidas.
Maze, was there a lack of new sneaker updates for you to write today?.....i love your site and all the news you post but this is a pointless article.
(in response to the "update")could this have been an attempt to get Jordan Brand as a sponsor,as well as more publicity for the school,which might provide more airtime(t.v.) for games,which means more tickets sales and more "$$$$$$$$" for UCF,this would def help the b.ball program,and poss. trickle over to their (building) football program (this of course is all theory,but some things just don't happen by accident)
who cares!!!
since you post a comment on this thread, seems like you care LOL
Who gives a flying F**k about what shoes he wears. There are too many important things to worry about other than bloody shoes (like morons legalizing guns in a certain state and then freak out when guns are a blazin'). Yes , there is some pull there being the greatest's son, but I laugh @ people who get upset or jealous to why he gets preferential treatment. It happens all over the world in any sport. Don't hate just cause it's not you in their shoes
I'm glad to see Marcus gets to wears his Js. Adidas don't even make any good shoes anyway.
***** adidas! you should to be able to wear any shoe you want!
