Jordan Brand Signings/Clients/Player Exclusives

[therealest1]

I chose to come up with something where peeps could post information about the company's new signings whenever it transpires since it's an identifiable brand and most of the athletes who sign with them have name recognition.

People should also feel free to share pictures of athletes with Jordan Brand wearing custom retro Jordans on a court or any type of field. Boxers signed to the company even wear Jordan stuff in a ring!

Bradley Beal & Caris LeVert are their latest signings. Beal is understandable because he's a baller and somewhat a star to knowledgeable hoops fans. But LeVert seems random because he isn't a marquee name, perhaps him playing in big city Brooklyn could be predicated on marketability.

Jordan Brand Signs NBA Stars Bradley Beal and Caris LeVert

“It’s a responsibility to represent the brand. I’m looking forward to this opportunity and being part of the family,” Beal says of signing with Jordan Brand.

Not surprised about LeVert, JB signs more than just star players

I was actually surprised to find out they have over 30 guys under contract in the league.

Seems Nike has really committed to investigating in JB to be a sort of parallel brand to the regular company.

Do they still have LaMarcus Aldridge and Jabari Parker? Who’s on there current list of MLB players besides Mookie Betts or Dexter Fowler?

I wouldn't doubt Jordan Brand could possibly have a good amount of NBA guys since they're initially a basketball brand. It's just going to be logically vague to a lot of fans if some of the players aren't big names.

I believe Aldridge is still with them. Good question about Parker because he hasn't been visible since sustaining a multitude of injuries during his career.

Here's some stuff I stumbled upon online after seeing your inquiry about MLB guys on Jordan Brand. Be aware the list of 11 MLB clients with the company in the bottom of the article is from 2018, so perhaps things could have changed like an individual no longer signed to the company. Like 6 guys are no longer with the teams they started with in 2018, and one is retired now.

Seems they have quite a bit of dudes under contract.

I don't think JB cares that fans don't know if a role player/nonstar is wearing Jordans because of one of their athletes or a just regular player wearing Nikes. They use their stars in commercials and other marketing materials, then fans see their products on the court. Nike does the same thing.

In other words, JB and Nike want people to see JB shoes on the court. So having a decent stable of role players wearing the shoes is part of the marketing too. Jordan Brand has moved beyond the "players handpicked by MJ" stuff they used to peddle years ago.

Kind of off-topic: they should do another AJ1 pack with some of new athlete’s logo. Like they did w/ Griffin, Melo and Westbrook (?) a couple years back

didn't know Devante Adams was on JB

Browns wide receiver Jarvis Landry is now with Jordan Brand.

I think they should give up trying to give all these bigger name players their own sig line, must of them have been total flops and kinda dilutes the brand IMO..

Just have guys like Westbrook wearing shoes like the “One Takes” and the 35s to give those shoes more visibility. Some of the recent team shoes have gotten MUCH better. Doncic and Westbrook both wear nice JB non-sig shoes quite a bit, they’re not as garbage as they used to be.

I agree it isn't marketable. It sort of defeats the purpose with their signature lines being under Jordan Brand because the brand itself is based on an individual legend whose name is really huge who had many enduring shoes. It's like their signature lines are in someone's shadow in that sense.

Now if big name players had a signature line under the Nike name, that's more feasible because Nike is a large company itself that covers many athletes in all sports.

The dudes under Jordan Brand should just wear those offshoot shoes under the Jordan Brand name and retros too. It seems like NBA guys under Jordan Brand don't wear custom team color retros as much as they did during the 2000s.

I always loved the custom team color retros on classic models. Too bad they never released them either because those would have been a hit with serious fans. Like it would be nice if they had Luka Doncic wear some classic retro Jordans in Mavericks colors and released them too, especially since navy and royal are likable blue colors.

start wearing more retros on court!

Dak Prescott is now with Jordan Brand.

Dak to join Jordan Brand as only QB, source says

Dak Prescott is leaving the apparel company Adidas and signing a 5-year deal with Jordan Brand, a source told ESPN's Adam Schefter.

Did Jimmy G JB ?

Jordan Brand is hooking up Bradley Beal with an extension. He's getting hooked up with a logo too. They squandered opportunities with him by not having him wear retros in Wizards colors because navy and red is a nice color combination that would appeal to most fans.

Jordan Brand Gifts Their Athletes Special Sports-Specific Jordan 6 PEs

Being a Jordan Brand athlete certainly has its perks. From early access to the prestige of being noticed officially by Mike, being under the Jumpman umbrella is something special. Surely, though, the best thing about being Team Jumpman is receiving special-edition exclusives, like 2019’s “Dress...

Had no idea BB was a JB athlete

I miss those days when Team Jordan guys only wore PE retros and the current flagship on court. Those days produced a ton of memorable PEs.

Yes, he's been with Jordan Brand for a few years now. He initially started his NBA career with Nike, then transferred over.

Thanks for corroborating my previous post about that.

I actually expounded on that in the broad XII & XIII threads when I referenced how Carmelo Anthony had nice custom versions of them when he was with the Nuggets. Those Nuggets colors looked nice on them.

Carmelo had some cool XII.

I think Carmelo had the best custom XIII out of all the Jordan Brand clients who wore custom versions of that model. I really wish these released for retail.
